is getting cleared out. the city of oakland is providing temporary shelter for those forced to leave, but some advocates say the city isn't meeting their needs as required by law. andria henson is executive director of where do we go? a group that advocates for the homeless. she says cities are required to provide adequate services that means not just a shelter bed, but meeting the other needs of the people as well. >> there's millions of dollars going into this program. how come no one did these assessments when they went out in may? each person said, we want to be housed, but we have very serious chronic disabilities. they told the city that their outreach workers. >> the urgency to clear out the encampment comes from the san francisco bay conservation and development commission, or bcdc, which oversees the bayfront. the agency threatened to fine oakland $30,000 if the people

did not leave. >> now to a story from the i-team. the oakland police department is close to getting a huge technology upgrade could cost taxpayers though millions of dollars. >> a vote is expected on this issue tonight. in fact, an abc seven news i-team reporter, stephanie sierra, is here with a look at the problems that led to the push for. stephanie, this new technology. >> yes, there were several of those problems. we're talking about a contract that may be worth more than $6 million. police argue this new software will enhance efficiency and help the city's flawed 911 system. yet the process to get here highlighted another multimillion dollar mistake. oakland is in dire need of new technology. it currently has the slowest 9-1-1 emergency response time in the entire state, and it doesn't help. the city has been crippled with software issues. >> let's be very clear. this is a huge underinvestment. >> years before the ransomware hack that leaked the city's network on the dark web, a crucial decision was made in 2017 to replace the city's 20

year old software. oakland city council authorized $12.8 million to install a new 9-1-1 public safety it system that included new dispatch and records management software from motorola, but a civil grand jury report found three years later, it was never fully implemented. in fact, both the software and hardware at the emergency communications center were labeled as so out of date. it is no longer supportable, the report added. opd was forced to buy replacement parts on ebay because they were no longer available. >> completely unacceptable, unexplainable and certainly uh- we need to hold ourselves as governmental employees more accountable. >> staffing shortages and impacts from the pandemic were to blame. now it's been seven years and the problem still hasn't been fixed. but this week there's a push to change that. the city's i.t. department is recommending a new purchase with a tech company to replace opd's

record management system with a modern software called mark 43. that's fully cloud hosted. >> i would assume, though, why they're advocating for the utilization of cloud is because it could probably be accessed for more locations if passed, it would cost taxpayers up to $6.1 million. >> but it's being heavily vetted in the wake of the city's massive 2023 data leak, the idea that any of these records are secure is naive, and we see these data breaches consistently. >> and so it's really put the population at a vulnerable place. >> according to a report obtained by the i-team last year, opd determined the motorola software was, quote, difficult to use, leading to increased report times and the issues were unable to be resolved. issues like that could have been avoided if the tech was properly vetted. we asked opd that very question did they determine this new software would be compatible with their systems? we were told the

software was reviewed by several department subject matter experts to gauge efficacy. opd also visited a local law enforcement department who is currently using mark 43 to obtain their feedback, which was positive. opd may also acquire a new $27,000 subscription with gladiator forensics to collect and analyze call record data. police say it would help arrest wanted suspects and enhance criminal investigations. now, state privacy law would still require opd to have a warrant in order to access that data. as far as this new potential $6 million contract, there are still questions about staffing. that 2023 grand jury report equated getting it back to functional levels as, quote, trying to turn a supertanker. >> that was a long, clumsy process. >> exactly. so, you know, that was a direct quote to from that. so the critical point here being taxpayers do not want what happened with that $12 million contract to happen with this one. >> understandable. >> do we know when will a vote,

when a vote will happen? >> you know it's happening as we speak, actually. so we're expecting a decision within the next couple of hours. okay. >> great. okay. >> thanks very much, stephanie. >> well, a man who went viral in the barbecue becky incident at oakland's lake merritt, six years ago has died. kenzie smith was one of two black men having a barbecue at lake merritt when a white woman called police because using a barbecue at that location wasn't allowed. it went viral and she became known as barbecue becky. after the incident, oakland installed hot ash disposal units so people could barbecue, and oakland city councilwoman rebecca kaplan nominated smith to fill a vacant spot on oakland's parks and recreation advisory committee. in a statement today, kaplan called him, quote, a dedicated and beloved oaklander who put time and energy into help serving our community. smith's cause of death and funeral arrangements have not been announced. >> all right, let's go back and talk a little bit more about the weather as the heat persists. >> but it is going to ease here

these breezy winds make their way through the delta throughout the afternoon. so up to about 29 miles an hour. so that breeze will feel pretty good allowing that heat to ease just slightly. it is going to take another 24 to 48 hours till we reach this into friday, where we've got mid to upper 80s. so notice no 90s at all. by the time we get to the end of the workweek, with 60s and 70s across the bay by saturday, our coolest day here, and we're going to take some time to clear. it's going to be pretty cloudy and then we'll get into some afternoon clearing. by sunday we get slightly warmer. so here's a look at another day tomorrow where we have our excessive heat warning. inland 100 by the delta upper 90s, livermore, antioch, concord 97 and our heat advisory, which could be discontinued up in the north bay upper 80s. how about low 90s for you in san jose, the peninsula that's cooler at 85 in palo alto. and then san mateo. upper 70s. the accuweather seven day forecast. so not as hot

annual summer event, shark fest. they're taking us into the waters with the ocean's most fearsome predator. for 26 hours of programing. that's sometimes a little bit too close for comfort. it's pretty intense. reporter alicia vitarelli from our sister station in philadelphia has more. >> reporter if the shark gets too close, that should hit it in the nose. well, you don't need to hit it. >> marvel super hero anthony mackie is on board for this shark fest, navigating the waters of his hometown of new orleans, where the apex predators are moving into local fishing waters. captain america face to face with a shark. how did he do? he did fantastic. >> you know, i think he's he's a long time fisherman. you know, when you come face to face with these animals in their habitat for the first time, your heart's going a million miles an hour. >> just the sheer amount of strength that this animal exhibits. >> then you realize just how amazing they are and that you're

not on the menu. they're just doing their thing. >> ecologist doctor mike heithaus says that's one of the main goals of shark fest. to dispel a few misconceptions. >> you know, the movies don't help. i mean, those are for entertainment. but yeah, sharks aren't mindless killing machines. and you know how rare it is. they're they're about 5 or 6 fatalities worldwide per year, but we hear about all of them. nice massive. so shark fest should kind of dispel some of those fears and hopefully spark that kind of curiosity and passion to help learn more about these and protect them. >> so yes, there's education and conservation at the forefront of shark fest, but also action and intense adventure. you're giving us some juicy drama bits too. >> oh yeah, there's always drama. you know, it sounds great, but when you're trying all these crazy little experiments, things go wrong. >> these are really, really strong animals and we're pulling them in by hand. >> we're bringing real life in a

lot of this. i mean, this is how exploration works. you thought it. >> shark fest, 26 hours of programing. great, intense video amaz. you've been. >> i only have 23 hours to go. then i was watching for a couple days over the weekend. >> fantastic. shark fest is streaming now on national geographic, disney plus and hulu, which are owned by our parent company, disney. >> all right, let's get to our weather expert. >> meteorologist lisa argen is back. lisa. >> all right. we have an update. >> our excessive heat warning has been replaced by an advisory. and you notice the advisory in the north bay has been dropped. so we are definitely going in the right direction with the cooling trend. this all lasts through 11:00 tomorrow night. and right now take a look at the temperatures. we are 90 in san jose, 91 in santa rosa with 99. concord and brentwood, 102 out towards the delta. so high, so far from 100 in santa rosa, low 70s san francisco. a pleasant day today, but look at concord

at 101. so we're going to see overnight lows drop off into the 50s in the north bay. 60s and 70s in our east bay valleys. and then one more day of temperatures near 100 or slightly above, and then about another five degrees of cooling thursday. but the dramatic cooling comes friday into saturday. so highs tomorrow ranging from the mid 80s in palo alto. so that's kind of a nice summer day on the toasty side. but those upper 90s again in morgan hill, the accuweather seven day forecast. so we've got one more day of our advisory. and then notice the trend for much, much cooler weather. i think everyone probably would like that switch. >> nice work. that's a good trend. yeah. after this. thank you. why not. >> yeah. all right. following the weather closely following the 49 ers. news closely larry. >> oh this is great football weather hats and helmets uh. despite his trade requests brandon aiyuk did report to 40 niners training camp today. so he's not holding out. he's actually holding in a live report from our chris alvarez

my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years. when i have customers come in and ask for something for memory, i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know it works. and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, "david, that really works so good for me." makes my day. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

the super bowl again to patrick mahomes and the chiefs. they've had more than five months to rest, rejuvenate and reload for the upcoming season. with training camp opening today in santa clara. biggest issue for the 40 niners heading into camp? the status of wide receiver

brandon aiyuk was the super bowl really his last game for the red and gold? probably not, but talks on a contract extension have not led to the big money deal that aiyuk really wants. so right now it's basically a stare down to see who blinks first. abc seven's chris alvarez joining us live now from santa clara. and chris aiyuk isn't holding out. he's holding in. >> yeah, larry, that's one way to also keep your money, because if he holds out, that's going to start affecting your bank account as well with fines. and so brandon aiyuk reportedly is here. our friend nick wagoner of espn says his source did say that he reported today when john lynch spoke with the media earlier today. it was early on the players, excuse me, starting to trickle in as ba holds in looking for a new deal. >> you know, we started this really early. we made it a priority to try to get done, we've had excellent communication throughout. we fully intend on brandon being a niner moving forward. we're always open to listen to things. like i said, we expect brandon to be an integral part of our

team like he has been. >> got a lot of love for ba. i think i'm close with him and hopefully that can help but only can help so much. there's also business side to it, but when you do have relationships with people, it helps. >> something that i like to tell anybody going through a contract is what same thing that chairman richard sherman told me was like, contracts are like braces. they suck the entire time. and then once you get them off, you forget that you ever had them. but this time, in case of a contract, you get a big bag of money. it's not fun, but you know when it gets done or hopefully when it gets done, you're like, hey, i got to play football now with my job security and like my livelihood all secured. >> and this is important to remember that brandon is looking for a contract extension. he's in the final year of his rookie deal. $14 million owed to him this season. so if he doesn't play football then he doesn't get paychecks. we'll see. like you said, who blinks first like how jorge put it. it's like braces. you don't remember until the end, except for these braces. you get a bag of money. sign me up for braces. i want more money later. >> exactly. yeah, i'm not sure you're you're in the budget for

that. >> but anyway, we learned today, kyle shanahan actually reached out to bill belichick to join the 40 niners staff. no days of. >> yeah. unbelievable. right. so tim kawakami of the athletic had a conversation with on his podcast with kyle shanahan. and kyle told tim that he offered bill belichick any type of job he wanted, even defensive coordinator, but bill declined. it's kind of amazing. he's not a head coach of the league. he probably will be one next year. larry. >> yeah, obviously hall of fame resume. thank you chris. team usa basketball spent a few days in london before heading to paris for the olympics, and that gave steph curry a chance to play tourist and as you look at this video, what do you notice here? what looks unusual? steph is all by himself. nobody's recognizing him. if steph walked around here it would be a mob scene. let's hear from the tourist steph curry. >> you like that jersey a nice jersey you got there. the best jersey. you gonna buy it,

are you thinking about it? yeah. oh, you're thinking about it? i think that's the best one in here. now, there we go >> team usa begins group play in the olympics on sunday against serbia sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. that's fine, i imagine steph. well first of all, they didn't recognize him initially. and then as the conversation went on they were like, hey, wait a minute. we kind of look, we buy this thing, you're gonna sell. yeah, exactly. but but also just imagine the freedom he must have felt if he walked down the embarcadero, there'd be a thousand people around him, and he's just strolling around london. look at that. >> hey, big ben, it's a nice change for him. yeah. for sure. thanks. very, very much. >> all right. thanks for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for lisa argen, larry beil

i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one?
