5:15 am
the peninsula now. there are new developments in that deadly crash that happened along devil's slide on friday. the body of a third person was found while the car was being pulled out of the water. it was originally reported there were two people who died in this crash. crews shut down highway
5:16 am
one between pacifica and montara yesterday while they retrieved the car and the victims. the car landed more than 300ft down an embankment, and the cause of this crash is still under investigation. also happening today, more than 500 farm workers will march for higher wages and disaster pay in the north bay. they will meet in the hills, healdsburg plaza in downtown healdsburg at 4:00. they're demanding $25 an hour or $250 per ton of grapes picked. farm workers are also asking for extra pay for work done during dangerous conditions and compensation for lost wages during disasters. now to a story from the abc seven news i-team. the oakland police department is close to getting a technology upgrade that could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. 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
5:17 am
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 me 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 in fact, both the software and hardware at the emergency communications center were labeled as so out of date.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
5:18 am
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 much
5:19 am
more 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. state privacy law would still require opd to have a warrant in order
5:20 am
to access that data. and as far as this new potential $6 million contract, there are still questions about staffing. the 2023 grand jury report equated getting it back to functional levels as trying to turn a supertanker. now, if you have a story for the i-team, you can call the number on your screen 188 40 i-team or head to our website abc7 news.com slash i-team. happening now. more than 30,000 runners are on the streets for the san francisco marathon. the 26 mile loop started at mission street and the embarcadero at 515. so just a few minutes ago and with the most participants ever, they picked up their race shirts and bibs at the marathon expo yesterday. >> i think for us, this is a community run. when it comes down to it, a lot of our runners come from the local bay area and it's just a way to bring everybody together in a really cool city and go on a running tour and see all the amazing monuments.
5:21 am
>> the race takes runners across the golden gate bridge and through golden gate park, fisherman's wharf and oracle park. you can expect to see those street closures we warned you about yesterday, and certainly public transit disruptions throughout the day. you can find a full list of those service changes on muni's website. it will certainly be a brisk start this morning. lisa. i'm thinking of all those runners gathering there along the embarcadero when i run. i really like to bundle up like the most possible under armor. i could have really. okay, okay, i'm thinking of all those people out there in shorts or t shirts, you know, just braving it. >> do you like this kind of weather for running? >> you know, it's nice because, yeah, you know, it's going to heat up right after. >> well, you're going to heat up running. yeah. they're going to heat up for sure. and so we have when the layers come off it definitely won't be hot out there. we will have temperatures still in the 50s throughout much of the morning hours. and we're going for a high of the low 60s by the afternoon with plenty of cloud cover. it will thin out throughout the day as we look at
5:22 am
the bigger picture, you can see the atmosphere looks quiet, but we are looking at a couple of systems to the north and west of us that will keep our low cloud deck intact. and as you noticed, the early morning numbers in the 50s here, 56 in danville, we've got 61 in hayward, though, and 55 half moon bay up in the north bay. temperatures are in the mid 50s there. 54 santa rosa and that mist and drizzle out there as well. so we will certainly have the below average temperatures stick around for the next few days. and as we get towards the second half of the workweek, a warming trend begins and it is looking warmer into next weekend, which is the first weekend of august. there is a look at the fog footprint all the way to the east of us. although it is clear in fairfield this morning with the southwest wind at about 18. so look how it clears throughout the day. now. yesterday it took till about 3:00 in some areas and didn't really clear at all. and elsewhere with those gusty winds, we'll get sooner clearing
5:23 am
still look at the fog at the shoreline and then it comes right back into play as we get into your monday morning, that mist and drizzle with us again. there's the breeze. it will kick up to over about 20 miles an hour, but it should be a typical day at the coast without any sunshine. but as we get towards your wednesday, notice mid 90s returning inland, taking it through thursday and it is a typical summer pattern, maybe a few degrees above average, and then by friday looks kind of hot inland, right? with those 60s and 70s around the bay shore. so temperatures today a little warmer than yesterday, so low to mid 80s returning here. we didn't have any 80s yesterday. 82 in livermore, 74 in richmond, looking for those upper 60s in oakland. a sunny but breezy day around the bay, 72 in palo alto and san mateo with about 82 santa rosa. so pretty cool out there. and then overnight tonight, back into the 50s, the mist and drizzle at the coast, the accuweather seven day forecast looking at temperatures
5:24 am
still cool for july the next few days. and then as we get into the first part of the workweek, we'll just have some minor warming temperatures reaching about 90 inland on wednesday. and then notice that steady warming trend as we get into the first few days of august,
5:25 am
5:26 am
for your help to support local youth in need. volunteers fill bags with school supplies for the annual pack, a backpack program, but sacred heart still needs 1000 backpacks and $30,000 in donations to achieve their goal. >> our learning center will turn into a backpack store wonderland with school backpacks that are appropriate for kids kindergarten all the way up to 12th grade, and they get to come in and select the backpack that fits their unique personality and gets them excited for the
5:27 am
school year. >> backpacks can be dropped off tomorrow until thursday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at sacred heart's donation station on south first street. pre-registered families will pick up their free backpacks on tuesday and thursday. a new art exhibit is calling attention to west oakland's cultural legacy. artists of the neighborhood brought this showing together, titled west oakland matters. the event had live panels discussing how art and culture contribute to economic revitalization. >> you may live in a particular community or a particular set of limitations, but if your mind can expand and perceive beyond it, it's usually the first step to getting past that space. so you've got to be able to cultivate the creativity within any community so that it's the soul of it doesn't die. >> very important. it's always been bored down here. it's always been art down here. >> long time residents brought their own photos and records of
5:28 am
the area over time, and it featured a collection of paintings, photography, film, fashion and performance pieces. beautiful work there. well, coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, former president trump addressing a recent attack on israel. his message amid tensions in the middle east. and we've all seen it. service charges. when you dine out, we take a deep dive into

continue on the campaign trail this morning how each candidate is trying to round up more votes exactly 100 days away from the election. good morning, everybody. thank you for joining us. this half hour. we first begin with the weather. lisa is here. and certainly feeling the effects of that cooling trend. yes. >> in fact the warmest numbers were in the upper 70s. in napa.
5:31 am
it was just 70, though, in livermore. and as we look outside right now, mount tam, the sun coming up at 610 and you can see all the low clouds ther. so steady onshore flow continues today. 55 downtown, it is 60 in oakland, 63 in san jose. and from our roof camera looks nice. and you can see some of the runners out there. oh yeah. look at that. there they go. 54 santa rosa and 56 by the delta. go. that is fantastic. good for you. all right. the next several hours we'll see that warm up by about 4:00. we're in the mid 80s inland. it is sunny and warmer around the bay shore. it's breezy with 60s and a few low 70s. and then at the coast it's cloudy and temperatures will be in the upper 50s. we'll talk about a warm up headed our way. stephanie, in a few minutes, all right lisa, thank you. >> new this morning. the campaign for vice president kamala harris has raised nearly $200 million in less than a wee. more than two thirds of that amount is reportedly coming from first time donors. harris's campaign is holding more than
5:32 am
2300 events in battleground states. this weekend alone. yesterday, she spoke to voters at a fundraiser in massachusetts. she also delivered a virtual address to appeal to young voters. >> in this election, we know young voters will be key and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted. it must be earned. and that is exactly what we will do, harris said. >> she's the, quote, underdog in the presidential race, but says her campaign is picking up steam. she'll hold another rally in atlanta on tuesday. coming up on this week, martha raddatz interviews new hampshire's governor, chris sununu. he will discuss the republican party's strategy as they take on vice president kamala harris exactly 100 days from the election. former president donald trump and running mate jd vance are rallying their supporters in minnesota this weekend. that state has not backed a gop candidate for president and over
5:33 am
50 years, mr. trump took aim at vice president harris, calling her a, quote, crazy liberal. he also addressed a recent strike on israel, saying it would not have happened under his presidency, that israel was just attacked very severely, attacked and hezbollah looks like and this is things that won't happen. >> i mean, you just just can't they have to respect us. they have to respect they cannot do this. they cannot do this. what they did just now with that attack is terrible. >> this week, mr. trump will return to pennsylvania for the first time since he survived the attempted assassination. he'll hold an indoor rally in harrisburg on wednesday. the middle east is bracing for a potential escalation in violence during a weekend of attacks. and this morning, israel is following through with its pledge to retaliate after a rocket hit an israeli controlled area in lebanon. the strike killed 12 children and teens in the golan heights area. israel
5:34 am
says hezbollah is responsible, but the militant group is denying a role in the attack. the israeli defense minister visited the site, promising hezbollah, quote, will pay the price. it comes at a very sensitive time. israel and hamas officials continue negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage proposal in rome today, closer to home. now, if you dine out a lot, you likely have noticed some extra service charges on your bill. business owners say they're to make sure workers get a decent living wage and health care coverage, but some customers have started to push back. building a better bay area reporter lyanne melendez takes a deeper look. >> if you eat out, you've likely seen them. surcharges tacked on to the tab with different names, service fee, labor surcharge, fair wage, employer mandates, health care security ordinance, sf safety and benefit charge. why so many terminologies? i mean, this is very confusing for
5:35 am
the customer. i mean, what the heck is a safety and benefit charge? you know what? >> at the end of the day, there are always people that are going to try to get around something and find a way to make it work better for them. folks just have to vote with their feet, get up and get out and go somewhere else that has more transparency. >> state senator bill dodd initially wrote the legislation to do away with all those surcharges, only to then exempt restaurants. >> and here's why we read we here on tv that how many restaurants are going out of business in the bay area? it's a tough time for restaurants. >> he's right. according to the san francisco consumer price index, prices for food away from home in the san francisco bay area went up by 5.2% in the past year. you know what else has gone up for restaurant owner rene dennis? his rent. minimum wage and that city health permit that in 2008 cost him $600 a year, is now up to $1,500.
5:36 am
>> it keeps going up. we can't keep raising our prices in line with that, because then our customers get sticker shock. >> so restaurants across the state have started adding surcharges to their menus to make up for the rising costs. but sometimes those fees are not so obvious. according to the law, any extra charges must be clearly and conspicuously displayed with an explanation. take this menu for example. i can read the prices no problem, but at the very bottom and not so conspicuous is this note i need my glasses for this one. it says to help defray the rising cost in west hollywood, a 4.5% administrative fee will be added to your check. go on social media sites and the conversation is heated. here are two examples. when i receive a bill that has a service fee or a mandatory tip on it, i don't
5:37 am
tip. san francisco has been doing it for years. hence the fact one reason i no longer dine there once a week, as i did years ago. lauren hyman created a site called c physica, inviting customers to record the surcharge of each restaurant. >> you know, so i created this website to make it easy for me and other, you know, consumers to just to easily understand how much something is going to cost before before they purchase them and they visit a restaurant and sit down. >> and that kind of disclosure worries some restaurant owners who have already seen a backlash. this is really controversial, and some restaurant owners didn't want to be interviewed. why is that? what are they afraid of? >> oh, it's hot right now. i read things like reddit and a lot of social media, and people are either posting, oh, 13% on my bill for this restaurant and they'll call out that restaurant
5:38 am
at pascal. >> rene dennis charges an extra 5% to help supplement wages. faced with some disgruntled customers, some cafes and restaurants are eliminating that surcharge and just increasing the prices. >> instead, they were kind of confused, perplexed, sometimes thrown off in a way that made them discourage from buying product and stuff like that. >> at craftsman and wolves, along the valencia corridor. once they eliminated the surcharge marked on the bill, it made things a lot easier for everyone. in fact, most people we spoke to would rather pay more for a meal if it meant not paying that surcharge. i have $37.65, and that way you can put a meal together from the menu without having to worry about. >> is there going to be some fee? i don't have enough for the fee because that's a that's that's a deadly moment. when there's a fee. >> i think there's a simplicity in that, and i think it feels a little more transparent. we just got back from europe where we were encouraged basically not to
5:39 am
tip. >> that's what they do. at zazie, a popular french style restaurant in the coal valley neighborhood. so let me see if i get this right. you don't charge a service charge? no. or you don't add any health insurance? no okay. the tip. you don't even ask for a tip. no. so how do you make that work, >> back in 2015, we did raise our prices 20%. >> owner megan cornelius told us how that 20% is used is clearly posted on each menu. >> it says a tip for your restaurant. all prices include a living wage, fully funded health care, dental care and 401 k for all of our hard working staff. >> but rene dennis says that model doesn't add up to a solution for him. >> no other way to put it. you know, we're robbing peter to pay paul in san francisco. >> leon melendez abc seven news still ahead on abc seven mornings a big weekend at comic

clear, didn't it? today we'll get into that clearing sooner, but we have the breeze and we have a little bit of upper level smoke. this is the way it looks. 20 we added the colors and this is above 25,000ft. so there's a bit of haze as we have some very light winds with that marine layer having that smoke drift to the south. and west. but as we get into the next 24 to 48 hours, it lifts on out. air quality is good all throughout the bay area. north bay, moderate at times, far north bay, so below average temperatures. the next few days the warming begins that you'll probably feel wednesday, thursday and friday away from the coast. and it looks even warmer into the first weekend of august. so the fog. it's far reaching this morning. not quite as far as yesterday. fairfield is clear. it pulls on back and notice it does clear throughout the bay, but it certainly will be gray from our beaches. and then this is into monday afternoon. we still have the fog at the coast. this is the overnight hours, i should say. and then as we get into monday

morning, still once again taking throughout the midday hour for the skies to clear, there's a look at the winds over 20 miles an hour throughout the afternoo. so it is another breezy day. and if the temperatures will come up just a little bit, we would get into that typical summertime pattern, which we will around tuesday. wednesday 77 santa clara. today, upper 70s san jose. that's a cool afternoon for late july. redwood city, you barely made 70 degrees yesterday. today will be milder, low 70s palo alto and then downtown working on more sun for you. 65 and into the north bay. coming up another five degrees. so it was in the upper 70s yesterday, low 80s today. bayshore. we have a mixture of upper 60s to low to mid 70s. breezy out there heading inland. it's 82 today in livermore with 85 in antioch. the accuweather seven day forecast. it's going to be a cool couple of days, speaking comparatively for where we should be late july, and then
