11:13 pm
then stole them. they stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in valuables. back in 60 seconds. tonight, a one-on-one with the mayor about her prices. we investigate the longs wait times. and the next time you drive down highway 101 you might notice a big change. the longtime shop in the south bay. >> i am chief meteorologist, jeff ranieri, with our big super bowl weekend. come to the bay area. i did want to show you a quick preview of that forecast and it is looking awesome here. temperatures in the low 60s and partly sunny to partly cloudy skies.
11:14 pm
two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. as we first reported months ago, oakland has the worst 911 response times of any city in the county in california. some people tell us they get busy signals or are stuck on hold for 20 minutes or longer.
11:15 pm
>> that is during an emergency. our investigative reporter sat down with the mayor to find out how she plans to turn things around before the state steps in and shuts down oakland's 911 dispatch center. >> in the months we have been reporting on this life or death issue, we have been trying to get oakland mayor to talk with our investigative unit. she has declined more than a dozen of our interview requests. until now. >> i called 911, i couldn't get through, it was a busy signal. >> when i called 911, usually they are on hold for approximately 10 minutes. >> alarming experiences by oakland residents and business owners. >> i got a busy signal. >> frustration by city leaders. >> 20 minute bull times, someone has a heart attack, they are gone. >> six months after our first investigation, oakland's dangerously long 911 response time still plagued the cities.
11:16 pm
our team analyzed new state data, showing in january, it took an average of 44 seconds for an oakland dispatcher to call a 911 call. that is 10 seconds faster than last summer, and compared to all other call centers, oakland's response time is still the worst in the state by a significant margin. >> we have to do better. >> reporter: our mayor agreed to a one-on-one interview after recently announcing progress on this issue she inherited. there are fewer dispatcher vacancies, she said. there are more 911 calls being answered within the state's pickett 15 second standard. >> moving from 27%-50%, that is a huge success, but it is not good enough. >> reporter: weeks after we broke the story last summer of oakland having the worst 911 answering time of any city in the state, the california office of emergency services sent oakland this notice and warned that, if oakland doesn't
11:17 pm
comply with standards by this july it will lose state funding. >> oakland needs to get to 90% in just over five months to keep the city on track. >> you know, this obviously has been a long time coming. you know? i am equally frustrated when i try calling 911 about a year and half ago. and we received a busy signal. >> you think oakland will make the deadline though? >> that is to be seen, right? for me it is about really in the vacancies, really, i am really honored to have the team that i have that, just within a year we were able to take action , implement the things that we needed to implement, to ensure that we fill the vacancies, improve on the pick up time and not just that, but ensure that we are retaining the talent. >> the state's notice said not only is the city at risk of losing a certain amount of funding, but it is also at risk of potentially losing its 911 center, because calls were then rerouted to another agency. what would that mean for safety
11:18 pm
and for people in oakland, calling 911? >> i think 911 dispatch is a local issue. obviously there are a lot of technicalities that we have to work on whether it is at the local level or the state level, but, you know, we need to do that work. >> what led to oakland's dyer 911 problem? outdated technology, the mayor says. she is working to finally update and as we reported in december, oakland it failing to process about 1000 dispatcher applications for an entire year. the result of vacancies in the city's hr department. >> how did that happen and what is being done to make sure it never happens again? >> coming into the city and really the first year we lifted the hood, there was, you know, and then we had to find solutions for many of the problems that we saw, and this is definitely one of the problems. >> reporter: she says they are preparing to announce a new hr director, in charge of filling other vacancies that she says
11:19 pm
are across the board. and with 911 there is a long way to go, she admits. in a short amount of time. >> if oakland doesn't make the summer deadline by the state what is the plan? >> well, we are going to continue to do that work. >> reporter: if the worst-case scenario happens, will 911 colors be better or worse shape if a caller takes over? that doesn't be a appear to be an option for mayor, sheng thao, we will stay with her and the state. with the investigative unit, i am candace and you can. >> you can visit 888-996-tips or visit nbcbayarea.com for more. it really couldn't be better, after the storm systems we have had, we have high pressure moving on in as we move through this weekend, which means yes, some sunshine
11:20 pm
and a little bit of cloud cover. let me show you more details right now on that microclimate forecast and, as we roll through tomorrow morning, here it is. we will started off on the chilly side with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s. just a little bit of cloud cover, and i do think we will have quite a bit of sun as well. 42 here through the peninsula. southbay 40, tri-valley, 38, also more of those upper 30s for the north bay, and back here to the east day, 39. daytime highs with that sunshine coming in through the afternoon. should warm up 4-7 degrees. so, we are back in the 60s tomorrow, going to be incredible. up here, 64, 63, santa rosa, low 60s, concord to livermore, san jose, 62, but san francisco and half moon bay will still be in the 50s for a little bit of that ocean breeze. now, there is so much happening this weekend i really think on saturday the big event, right here in san francisco, the lunar new year celebration, 12:32 2:00, partly cloudy skies and those temps in the upper 50s. so, a good time there, and
11:21 pm
we've got watch parties happening on sunday for the super bowl. we are going to stay dry. now, partly sunny to partly cloudy skies, but considering all of the storms we've had lately on our weekend, this forecast is coming in excellent here. temps in the low 60s. so, awesome weather to rude on, of course, the niners. beyond this we are looking at a chance here of some rain next week. wanted to give you an early preview, that next friday and also next saturday. so, for very 16th and 17th we could get an atmospheric river moving in and possibly a second storm back behind that. early total show 1-2 inches may be more. we will continue to watch that next chance of rain as we had into late next week. otherwise that weekend, it is insight for us. so, you know, i wish i could say it will be sunny all day long on sunday, but at least it is going to be dry. we will all be watching the tv to see how well those 49ers do. so, it is coming good for us.
11:22 pm

you have probably see this cell phone 101. say goodbye to it. a popular landmark has given days to pack up and move out. it has located the intersection of two of the busiest highways in the area. 101 and state route 25. it is recognizable to thousands of people in the area. allie and charlie larson say be a acquired their property under eminent domain, which basically means they get to take it so they can build a new intersection. >> we been here for 39 years, alex is 62, i'm 63. we are planning to retire in a few years, and now we are basically asked to start all over again. >> it is an iconic structure. but on the other hand, traffic on 101 is just escalated so much. >> imminent domain. the brother say they are losing moving to their sister winery. that is just on the street until they figure out a permanent location. >> plastic bags could soon be a

thing of the past. lawmakers are considering something that could bend them for good. back in 2014, the shoppers can still buy those plastic bags at checkout. the idea was that those backs would be reusable, but critics argue that many people aren't reusing them or recycling them. it still has a long way to go before approved. >> so, are they ready for sunday? the niners and chiefs went great party, carlene. the niners and chiefs went through their workouts day. to
