revise its police pursuit policy. newsom sent a letter to oakland city officials. he's urging them to update the policy put into place in 2014. now, the governor says chp officers who are now patrolling oakland's streets observed suspects are, quote, fleeing with impunity. that's because they know they won't be chased. mayor tao opted not to answer our questions directly, but did release a video statement calling on the police commission to take action. >> we must be in line with our policies, with other jurisdictions, so that we can ensure that our community is safe. >> under its current rules, oakland officers can only launch a pursuit if there's reasonable suspicion that a person has committed a violent forcible crime or a crime with a gun, or if there's probable cause that person has a gun. critics say
9:14 am
there's no data showing that police pursuits do anything to stop crime or solve crimes, but they do increase the danger for people living on the streets. this comes as we're tracking new developments in the recall effort against mayor tao. a judge has recused herself from the case brought by the oakland public ethics commission. no reason was given. judge julius spain also vacated a ruling earlier this week in favor of oust the group backing the recall. the public ethics commission filed the suit in order to get oust and another group to comply with subpoenas. they're calling for communications to be released between the two groups and other individuals. new details about the items seized by the fbi during the june raid at mayor tao's oakland home, along with mayor telles phone and computer. federal agents also took the phone belonging to her boyfriend, andre jones. that's according to the chronicle. jones stopped using his phone shortly after the raids and

reportedly switched to a new number. as previously reported, the raids may be linked to a campaign contribution laundering scheme. no charges have been filed and tao has denied any wrongdoing. we're also following another recall effort on the peninsula. mowbray citizens voted to oust the city's vice mayor and a council member. some residents are fighting a plan to convert a la quinta inn into permanent supportive housing, the recall campaign claims. vice mayor morris goodman and a council member failed to properly represent their electorate when they supported this hotel conversion. and the north bay, one of the largest wine producers in the country, has filed for bankruptcy. santa rosa based vintage wine estates has over 30 wine and spirit brands. the news comes as a shock to the industry. experts say wine sales could be impacted by several things. >> boomers are drinking less and i think that's probably the bigger effect. and we're seeing, you know, people that have been
9:16 am
the main driver behind wine consumption and they are starting to pull back, whether it's because they have enough wine in their cellar or because they have health reasons, maybe, you know, in the wake of a very kind of shocking, you know, time for the world, people are reassessing how they're living and the way they're living. there's also a younger generation. i think that's still figuring out life and maybe hasn't discovered wine and wine culture for most of their products are in the 15 to $20 range. >> and we're told the lower priced wine market is struggling the most right now. industry leaders say more vineyards could file for bankruptcy in the south bay key stakeholders came together to talk about one of the biggest issues impacting all local communities. we're talking about affordable housing. abc7 news south bay reporter zach fuentes tells us some of the ideas being discussed. >> san jose is in the top ten, but it's on a list most would rather not see it on at all. >> san jose was ranked as the fourth least affordable metro area in the world, behind hong kong, sydney and vancouver. >> that's according to the
9:17 am
annual demographia international housing affordability report. the lack of affordable housing isn't an issue isolated to san jose. >> we all know what's happening in the south bay, and it's kind of a warning sound for the rest of the bay area, the rest of california. and you know what? my work in the united states congress, other members are feeling it too. >> across the country, federal home loan bank of san francisco, which said it devotes profits to affordable housing projects, hosted this roundtable meeting to talk affordable housing solutions. >> we get people to start thinking about it's not about passing a bill in congress. it's about what happens locally, what happens at the county or city level, and then maybe the state level as well. >> on hand government officials, local leaders and real estate and nonprofit organizations. so what are solutions? look like? san jose city council member arjun batra says more mixed income housing instead of buildings with only affordable housing is needed. >> building market rate properties have mixed use in mixed income properties. give subsidy to any and everybody
9:18 am
deserving the roundtable discussion comes after governor newsom issued an executive order requiring state agencies to prioritize clearing homeless encampments. >> it also puts pressure on local governments to do the same, batra said. having affordable housing solutions sooner than later will keep people from becoming or staying homeless, affordable housing requires too much money. >> it's too bureaucratic. it takes too long to develop at the federal level. >> congressman panetta says he's at work on legislation that uses the tax code to incentivize construction and development of affordable housing, along with tax credits for middle income home buyers and renters. >> all of us have to come together and have this type of conversation to see where we can play a role, and that's why we're here today in san jose. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> new this morning, south bay schools could be getting an upgrade if a new ballot measure is approved by voters. it would also provide employee housing. our media partners, the mercury news reports the decision came
9:19 am
in a surprise special meeting. san jose unified school district's board of trustees unanimously approved placing a nearly $1.2 billion bond measure onto the november ballot. now, if passed, the money would go towards upgrading and repairing facilities across the south bay's largest public school district and to create affordable housing for both teachers and staff. looking ahead, the san francisco marathon is tomorrow tens of thousands of runners are set to participate, starting very early in the morning. the 26 mile loop winds mostly through the northern part of the city. they'll start at mission and embarcadero right around 5:15 a.m. so you can expect those street closures to be in effect in that area, as well as public transit being rerouted. you can find a full list of the service changes on muni's website. and we've been talking about this cooling trend. the runners will certainly escape the heat tomorrow. you can probably feel it as you step out this morning.
9:20 am
we certainly did. yes. >> even yesterday in parts of the bay, the winds were quite gusty over 40 miles an hour at oakland. so we have less wind, more fog, and the breeze will be with us once the fog begins to pull back. but boy, it is taking its time behind me. a visible picture from sunrise to right now. so the past o three hours or so and you'll notice not only do we have the low clouds and fog all the way towards the delta, but you can see the smoke from the fire, the park fire to the north, and that is moving up through i-5, the northern sacramento valley. and it will continue to be an issue, of course, where it is such a huge fire. so as we go through the afternoon, the clouds will slowly peel back, but it's going to get as far as the bay bridge. it's kind of iffy. we could definitely see the clouds linger throughout parts of the bay today. 56 downtown, 59 in oakland. it is 62 in san jose, and so temperatures fairly
9:21 am
uniform with a blanket of low clouds. san jose there in the gray 60 by the delta. southwest winds have been up to about 25 to even 30 miles an hour. this morning in the 50s in santa rosa. and there's a look at the airport where it was in the 80s yesterday, redwood city in the 70s. today, the cool down continues into the weekend with below average temperatures today, tomorrow, tomorrow should be a little bit warmer. we will look for that warming trend to continue into next week. that's away from the coast. and if we go hour by hour, you'll notice that the clouds steadily peel back after about the noon hour and then stopping this at 4:00. they're not totally cleared here for the san mateo coast and around the bay shore. so that's going to keep temperatures in the 60s in parts of the bay. the fog comes back in earnest all the way across the bay into the sacramento valley. and then as it pulls back, it should reveal a little bit more sunshine into your sunday afternoon. and then we will see the temperatures respond as we get into by about
9:22 am
monday, where the numbers begin to move up through the 80s inland. but we are watching a ridge of high pressure that will potentially bring even warmer temperatures. our way. tuesday. we're into the perhaps 90 to low 90 degree range in our inland valleys, feeling a lot like summer. and then as we get into the first couple of days of august, looks like the heat could return. this is wednesday with temperatures in the mid 90s there. elsewhere, 60s and 70s. so as for your saturday, look for temperatures mainly in the 60s around the bay, mid 70s for you in san jose. look for 71 up in wine country and mid to upper 70s for you in santa rosa. overnight lows back into the 50s, mist and drizzle at the coast and the accuweather seven day forecast. we're cool today. 60s and 70s with slight warming for sunday, monday, little change and then our warming trend is pretty modest until we get to the end of the workweek, which begins a new month.
