>> san jose is celebrating today after making the best places to live list. and there are lots of other happenings in the city, including possibly the shortage of voting centers and a search for a new police chief. so here to talk to us more about all this is san jose mayor matt mahan. thank you for joining us here this afternoon on kron 4. i just thanks for having of course. so i kind of want to start with this possible shortage of voting center since primary election day is coming up on tuesday. they're saying some of the reports out there saying that there's a shortage of voting centers in the districts that are actually having races. the people are voting on this year

that the districts where there are really contentious races, they have plenty of places where people can turn in their ballots and votes for the places where there are issues on the ballot, they can turn in their ballots. so i'm wondering what you think about this situation and what you're doing to fix >> yes, so i'm reaching out to the county registrar, along with other elected officials in san jose just to understand their coverage plan, what they're seeing out in the field, as you know, the election process is managed by the county, not the city and our county registrars responsible for providing the many ways that people can vote. i think the important message is that people have many options for voting. every ballot should have been sent to voters in the mail. they are pretty mark, you do not need to add a new postage. you can drop it off. you can tell from your home or or drop it off at mailbox or post office will so voting centers across the city encourage folks to go to scc vote dot org. but like other elected officials in san jose, i am pressing our county

registrar to be very clear about their coverage planning to make sure that we are serving all neighborhoods in our city. all communities and that everyone has equal access to opportunities to vote. yes, i understand the county is in charge of it. but, you know, you have a certainly a voice in what should be going on in rose. >> so let's talk about your police chief. you are about to lose anthony mata. he's taking a job within the district attorney's office. how is the search for a police chief going in san jose? >> well, the city manager has kicked off the process. i want to thank chief mata for his 28 years of service here in san jose. unfortunately, he'll still be continuing to serve our community over in the district attorney's office but been a great chief these past 3 years has really pushed onto things that are near and dear to my heart community engagement, getting his officers out of the patrol car and and walking the beat in connecting with neighbors and small business owners and

transparency, accountability. he's really bush to be very transparent with the community when we have had challenges and he has acted swiftly to hold everyone to our very high standards. in terms of the search, the city manager is kicked off the search. she is going through a process including community input and evaluation of narrowing that field in coming forward with the recommendation that ultimately instead be approved by the council. >> and do you get a say in this? are you do get i like? >> yeah, i had the council. so once the city manager comes back with her recommendation, i and the other council members will evaluate her choice. have the opportunity ask questions of that person and ultimately will take a bow. she needs a majority vote of those of us on the council to adopt her selection. sjmilarly, i'm leading the process for selecting our new independent police auditor. and so i will bring forward a recommendation in the the

coming weeks. and we will similarly need approval from the council in order to put that person in the position permanently. and what is the timeline to get a permanent police chief in place? well, i certainly want to see a new police chief in place this year. we will almost certainly have an interim chief for a short period of time. yeah, it's a it's a nationwide search. we've got to go through the process of getting applicants interviewing them, make sure there's community engagement and go through a very thoughtful, rigorous process. we alright, we have a well run city hall here and i expect us to build a get to that decision point this year. sometime this year. all right. >> you just made this list. san jose did of one of the 4 best places to live in the country. and according to the survey. so why do you think you made the list? well, i think it's the same reason that we've had the fastest

rebounding downtown in the state of california. san jose. >> is a diverse economically vibrant place with great weather. we have put a real premium on getting city hall focused on the basics. safe city, clean city, getting people house. we have accelerated the rate at which we're getting people out of encampments. while the state saw an increase in homelessness. we saw and over 10% decrease in homelessness. year-over-year. we've seen foot traffic and sales tax revenue rebound to pre-pandemic levels in downtown and other commercial districts. and i think the formula is pretty clear. create an environment that's safe. that's clean where people are housed, speed up permitting and the rest will come together. we've got tremendous capacity in our community and our private sector to fill in the rest. and so we are seeing a positive rebound here in san jose. >> so on tuesday, you're up for reelection. we should note that it's kind of gone a little under the radar. only

have one opponent named tyrone wade. we haven't really seen you doing like that much campaigning or maybe possibly ads out there. just wondering why you've put i know you probably really want this job again, but why has there not been such like a big shouting? hey, i'm running for mayor kind of campaign. >> personally, i believe the best way to campaign is to focus on the issues facing the community and drive forward solutions. i'm working to rebuild our police department. push all levels of government to be accountable for ending the era of encampments. we've got to step up our efforts to build safe, managed encampments and get people indoors. we've got a quick clean, beautiful environment and and speed up permitting, be a place that can attract investment and jobs and housing. i have a lot of faith. if we keep pushing forward common sense solutions to our biggest challenges that the voters will see that. and and i hope they will give me the opportunity to continue to

pursue this agenda of getting city hall back to basics. >> and as we run out of time here. i just wanted i know this is the story from last week. but you got a chance to go visit the giving pies bakery where tesla place this order ended up canceling there was a big outcry of support for this bakery afterwards. people just like showing up in droves ordering pies. they were like overwhelmed of people. just what was your take on this whole situation of like what tesla did and you know how your local businesses kind of handled that situation. >> yeah, with the community response was beautiful to say it was really nice to be able to be out there and see this line stretching into the parking lot and, you know, just the best of humanity, right? people wanting to come out and support a small business owner who had a difficult situation. i do want to just say for the record to be fair to all involved that elon musk's did then step up personally commit to paying the bills. so he did make it right. and he deserves credit for that. but i was just touched by the outpouring of

community support and everybody coming together to support the small business owner was it was a great thing to see. that's what san jose is all about. you know, we've got a beautifully diverse community with a small is big city in america. in my opinion, it was great to see that. that inaction. just thank you for bringing that up about elon. he did respond to a story that we posted on his platform acts and that sky thing how he found out about it. all right. so whole world list. >> how to get to number one next year. >> we shouldn't. we came to hall focused on the basics. city that safer. that's cleaner that economically vibrant. we get people house. we create economic opportunity. we've got everything else. we we've got the the tech economy. we've got the weather. we've got the diversity, the food. we just have to get city hall back to basics. >> san jose mayor matt mahan, thank you for joining us this afternoon on kron 4. appreciate your time. and i'm sure we'll be talking to you soon. forward to it. thanks thank you. have a good weekend. let's see what that weekend forecast is going to be doing for us. here is a live look. so we'll see what's going on in san francisco.

kind of gloomy. kyla is tracking the forecast for us now. it is going to be a wild weekend weather-wise. yeah, it is. we've got rain coming in now. we're going to see that throughout the weekend. want to do a quick look at the nation's weather. you can see we've got a storm system in the southeast that's bring some flooding concerns. very sad story that's been developing here. we've got fire hazards that are all the way from texas, right on up to south dakota. and then, of course, we've got our major winter storm on the west coast. temperatures in that spot in texas, unfortunately, set to get warmer this weekend and they're going to see some wind kick up. so not good news for them for us. temperatures are getting cooler as we have this major winter storm that's pressing in all of this cold air. that's right behind it, which means that we could see snow. it's some of our peaks around the bay area, even right. like spots like up mount diablo or maybe a bit mount saint helene at this is that low pressure system. you can see another front tracking through very similar to yesterday. things are going to be a little bit stronger and a little more juice step as we get throughout our afternoon and evening today. i think this will be kind of the most energetic part of the storms.

you can already see some of that. we start to see those yellows and oranges popping up right there up in the north bay and parts of the east bay at this hour. and as we zoom out, you can see the line of showers and just roll through and a little bit of lightning as well. up just north of santa rosa and indication that these are about to really get rolling everyone. so if you haven't seen showers yet, do know that they're on the way. i wanted to point out another danger. we're looking at half moon bay right now. you can start to see a few white caps. if you look out there, a wave heights right now about 24 feet way offshore. this is a swell that's rolling in. and so then watching these wave heights start to go up. and right now at point rays looking at about 12 feet. so we are under a high surf advisory. it does go through 04:00pm on saturday. so those 15 to 20 foot high waves are going to be out there. and the most important thing here is this last line. never turn your back on the ocean. those west and northwest facing beaches are the most at risk. sneaker waves can come up and they can drag you into the ocean. they can also drag logs and, you know, lots of debris that can cause problems. so my advice would be to try to avoid the coast as we get into

of becoming a mom just became so much harder last month in alabama supreme court decision put the future of ivf in that state. in question ruling fertilized embryos carry the same rights as children. >> almost immediately a majority of lawmakers, republicans and democrats, race to show their support for ivf after swift public backlash. it needs to be readily available and needs to be something that every american supports and >> needs to be handled in an ethical manner. but this week, a single republican senator blocked efforts to codify federal ivf protections. this bill misses the mark. gop senators cindy hyde smith said the legislation could violate some people. sincerely held religious ideals, religious and pro-life organizations could be forced to facilitate procedures. >> that violate their core beliefs, including their health insurance plans yet with a legislative solution. still unclear. congressional supporters say they'll keep working. this should be

obvious legislation. polling shows a majority of americans support access to ivf, making it less controversial politically. it's still appearing to present a challenge to congress reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley. a smart home can still be simple with these easy and affordable devices that can help with your home's air quality signature scent and more in tech smart. >> plus, stephen curry and the
