7:04 am
is getting mixed reviews. >> this is a place where kids go to have fun and get away from their parents at times. and i think this chaperone policy takes away from that. >> i feel like we have had a lot of dangerous incidents at the park, so now that we have this new rule, it is going to keep it safer and more fun for everyone else. >> reporter: most of the families of the policy and hope it is here to stay, she has been impressed with how the staff is enforcing the policy inside the fair. >> we have been stopped a couple times by security, just making sure that the kids are with me and everything is good. >> the fair runs through sunday at the county fairgrounds in antioch. beta breakers is coming back tomorrow in san francisco. these were some of our favorite outfits from last year, we can't show all of the outfits of course because sometimes the preferred outfit of choice is no outfit at all. the seven mile race starts at 8:00 sunday and ends at ocean beach,

7:06 am
improvement. >> six months ago, both sides of the street was lined with structures like the one over here. >> reporter: it is a daunting task and one of the least desirable jobs in the city, the smell alone would turn off most instantly, but he sees his worth in the process. >> and they are doing work that other workers throughout the city refused to do, because it is so tedious, you are dealing with hazardous materials, you are dealing with feces, urine, the unknown substances, needles, and not many city employees want to deal with that. >> reporter: he's on a mission to not only restore the city streets to the beauty beneath that provide dignity to the process. that hasn't always been the case. >> they just throw it all away. >> you know, there's no respect or communication.
7:07 am
>> reporter: and the encampment belonged to john, he spent most of his life in the mission, but today accepted housing offered by a part of the multiagency team tasked with clearing the area. this process of clearing the encampments has seen a huge overhaul in the last five years but remains a controversial process at the center of the supreme court battle over who can legally live on the streets. >> as long as they respect us, we will respect them and just clean up real quick and go, and if we have to come back later. >> reporter: 72 hours ago, flyers like these were posted, alerting those in the area when this cleaning would take place but each experience is unique, here an individual with mental illness is resistant to the process, an encounter that is becoming more common as they go through items both cherished and soiled. >> this would be the personal items that they are talking about that we are throwing
7:08 am
away. things that are unsalvageable. covered with soil or feces, obviously it has been here for quite a while. >> reporter: this situation was quickly dampened when a firefighter steps in. >> we will see if we can get you in a better spot. >> reporter: he accepted housing and services, a test of how this process is intended to work, in a rare case of added red tape having a positive effect. >> it makes me feel happy because we are making positive progress. we are not just moving individuals, we are offering them services, we are offering them a chance to get out of their situation and into a better situation. and it gives us an opportunity in the process to actually clean and sanitize the streets. >> reporter: tossing soiled items and policies behind to make room for cleaner times ahead. >> it is 7:08, still ahead on

7:15 am
and the little warm-up in store for san francisco early next week, temperatures close to 70 for highs on tuesday and back to below average by saturday, sunday and monday and more of a roller coaster as you get away from the water, the 10 day outlook shows temperatures above 80 degrees on tuesday for livermore but barely cracking 70 for memorial day weekend. just a cooler weather pattern in place for the unofficial start of summer. inland temperatures in the low to mid 80s by monday and tuesday on a widespread basis, some 70s and we do have that retreat to near average temperatures by the end of the next workweek as we get ready to head into memorial day weekend. the ups and downs are not going to be as prevalent around the bay but temperatures get into the low 70s for a few days, and there should be additional sunshine overhead for even coastal parts of the bay area, more of a mix of clouds and sun for sunday, monday and tuesday and the may
