we have reached the point in santa rosa where a lot of the big stuff has been taken care of. now they need to think about the stuff they never considered before, like sidewalks. they were an afterthought. they assumed the city of santa rosa would fix them but it's technical, they can't. this begins on the front yard of burn victims and depose all the way to washington. if you appreciate jigsaw puzzles you may feel right at home along sidewalks in the north bay firestorm zone. they're a patch work of blacktop, cracks like canyons with weeds popping through. for anyone with a mess like this in front of their once-burned home, they're the stuff of headaches. >> it's just one more thing. >> it's just another expense we weren't anticipating. >> i really didn't know i was going to be out for the sidewalk. >> reporter: santa rosa burn victims could be on the hook for a combined $1 million in sidewalks because a city ordinance says they own them. even after fema's debris removal crews ruined those sidewalks during the cleanup.

fema has refused to pay for the damage so far. jason nutt runs public works for santa rosa and has already appealed once and now he's doing it again. >> they were in a hurry. in some cases they were careful and in other cases they might not have been as careful. >> reporter: in the hidden valley neighborhood, new sidewalks will cost about $6,000 per house. it's money pam and don roby don't feel they have to sfengpe. they're already massively underinsured. >> blaming is hard. we have a reality here. that's the way i look at it. >> reporter: that are options. if the city wins the second appeal, they will ask homeowners for photographic proof that fema caused the damage. >> we documented their heavy equipment going over the sidewalk. >> wbl pre before and after w don't have that. >> reporter: the good news, the city may have such pictures on record. >> we didn't think this was going to turn out this way on the federal level. >> reporter: it's just one more

thing among all the other one more things that keep on coming. >> i accept it, you know, just another issue that we have to deal with. >> reporter: it's just another issue they're dealing with. a lot of people wanting to blame the city for this. the city ordinance had been in place for ten years and the federal government knew that. there's nothing the city can do to take care of that ordinance by getting rid of it because the government still looks at the ordinance and says it was in existence. one other option, if you have insurance money and you used that insurance money to clear your lot and there was money left over and even if you gave it to the city, the city will give you that money back and allow you to apply that money to repairs. in other words, a new sidewalk. in santa rosa, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. now,ar's camp fire are stil living in tents, cars or some other temporary housing. lawmakers in sacramento are trying to speed up the process to get them into something permanent. a bill is moving through the

legislature to expedite the construction process in butte county. it would streamline environmental reviews and include an exemption from the california environmental quality act. >> we have interim housing that's mostly being put up by nonprofits and by fema. but in that time period, we also need more permanent housing, and that's where something like 8430 comes in where we can build more apartments, single family homes. >> the camp fire killed more than 80 people and destroyed thousands of homes in butte county last november. it's the deadliest and most destructive fire in state history. we are on storm watch once again, but not for much longer. in a few hours we'll get a clear view from our emeryville tower camera compared to how it looks in this live picture. abc 7 news spencer christian is tracking the end of the storm. >> it's hard to see any hint of clearing in those dark clouds but it will be clearing out in a matter of hours.

here's a live look at doppler 7. most of the showers falling now are confined to the south bay and the santa cruz mountains. in fact one batch of showers just moved east of san jose, now pushing out into mt. hamilton area. looking back westward just a bit from redwood city to palo alto, over to woodside down to los altos and even cupertino, a few light wide scattered showers. it ranks 1 on the storm impact scale for the remainder of the night and early morning hours we may see widely scattered showers with potential for brief downpours and gusty winds. our forecast animation looks this way going into the late night and overnight hours. once again, widely scattered showers will be swinging through the area generally from west to east. and just before the morning commute gets under way just before 5:00 a.m. we'll see the clearing begin. by mid-morning we should have mostly sunny skies and a much brighter picture, weather picture that is going into the weekend. dan and ama. >> spencer, thanks. you can always check the weather

conditions where you live. it gives you access to live doppler 7. the same system that spencer uses every day. the san francisco police department is returning a journalist's equipment and notes 11 days after a controversial raid at his home and office. >> it was part of a police investigation into who leaked a confidential report on the death of public defender jeff adachi. >> dan noyes was there in court this morning and joins us with the latest. >> this story has made headlines across the country. freedom of the press advocates say the sfpd broke state and federal law going after this journali journalist's sources by raiding his home and office. he released new surveillance video of officers trying to open the kbgate at his home. after he heard the commotion, he let them in. they placed him in handcuffs, kw confiscated his computers, cell phone and notes. thomas burke is his attorney. >> they confiscated his newsroom. all of you who do reporting have

all kinds of stories on both your cell phones. you have leads, you have all kinds of things in your computers, your laptops, all of it. that was all gone. >> he has had an sfpd press pass for 16 years. he's a free lance journalist, or stringer, as they're called. he shoots video, gathers documents and sells the material to various media outlets, including abc 7. he shot this video of a natural gas line explosion in february and appeared on the air. >> i was told by someone from the water department that this was a 12-inch gas main. >> reporter: it was a similar situation later that month. san francisco public defender jeff adachi died in this north beach apartment. he shot video and sold them to abc 7 and other stations. in march, the medical examiner concluded adachi died from a toxic mix of cocaine and alcohol. in april the board of supervisors held a hearing about the release of that police report, wondering if someone leaked it because adachi was a long-time critic of the

department. >> to have that type of maligning going on of a public official in san francisco is disgusting. >> reporter: they called for a full investigation and heard from his widow. >> it was despicable what the police department did to myself and my daughter by releasing the police report. >> reporter: three weeks later, officers were banging on his door. his attorney filed a motion to have the search warrants revoked. today the judge set a new hearing date for june, and the sfpd attorney announced they are returning all of his materials. >> is that a victory for you that they are giving back the equipment? >> well, i think it's important when you have something like this happen that you get the material back as soon as you can. >> reporter: jim wheaton of the first amendment project tells me state and federal law is clear, the raid was illegal and that you can never search a journalist's office or newsroom to try to get their confidential sources. >> it's really important for everybody that reporters be able to keep their confidential sources confidential so that they have access to it so we can

all know what's happening in the shadows. >> reporter: police department attorney ronnie wagner did not address the legality of the raid during today's hearing and would not answer my questions. >> why was the search proper? >> i respectfully refer you to the san francisco police department media relations. >> reporter: late today police chief bill scott held a news conference. >> how can you defend a raid on a journalist's home and office? >> so i'm not -- i'm not here to try to defend it because there's a lot of information that we have to really look at and reflect. >> reporter: the chief confirms the sfpd did not consult with the d.a.'s office on the warrant and raid, but police still consider brian carmady as a co-conspirator in the theft of the police report. >> we believe that the line was crossed. >> how so? >> we believe that the line was crossed. if -- and the premise that we're operating under is if mr. carmady was complicit in being a part of the illegal taking -- >> do you have evidence of that? of him conspiring? >> that's what the investigation

is all about. >> both mayor london breed and the district attorney george gascon issued tweets critical of the police raid. we'll stay on this story as it plays out. it's an important one. >> thank you, dan. at the ghost ship trial in oakland today, testimony centered on permits for the warehouse where 36 people died in a fire more than two years ago. an engineer with the city of oakland and a fire investigator took the stand. jobina fortson was in court. >> reporter: the testimony was that the ghost ship warehouse was last inspected in 1951 after a permit was issued for the property three years earlier. harlan told the defense building codes require anyone doing work on the property to get a permit. no one doubts there was construction done by the founders of ghost ship. >> max harris, my client, came along a year and a half later. he didn't need to pull any permits. >> reporter: necessary on the stand, fire and arson investigator maria sabbatini.

she had been to ghost ship twice, once to investigate an arson and again in december of 2016. she ended her questioning with prosecutors saying her team found no evidence of arson at the origin of the fire. >> what i see now is a complete different person. she's doing everything possible to negate the prospect that this fire was caused by arson. >> reporter: andrew is a new face in the courtroom. he thinks firefighters didn't know what they were looking for on the scene. he says his key words tomorrow will be sifting and grids. >> what you do is you take each bucket, you put it in a grid. you mark it numerically where it came from and then you sift through each of those buckets. not firefighters, investigators. >> reporter: the defense only got about 15 minutes with sabbatini before things wrapped up today. they were focused on the difference between an arson and death investigation. the defense believes that the right agencies were not called

following the initial fire. reporting in oakland, jobina fortson, abc 7 news. san francisco international airport has become a magnet for homeless people looking for a warm, safe shelter overnight. >> they come by way of b.a.r.t. abc 7 news was there for the last train of the night to see how the airport stops them from camping out in the terminals. if you let an institution like that go you're really going to kill part of the city's heart, at least for me. this is one of me favorite reasons to come here. >> a san francisco comedy club hopes it gets the last laugh when it comes to keeping its space from

ellen degeneres and wanda sykes all took the stage before they became famous and that's the legacy many comedians want to preserve. >> comedians are trying to save a club owned by big corporation from displacement by an even bigger corporation. >> reporter: displacement is why the comedy club is saying they'll have to move. according to san francisco supervisor aaron peskin, google wants to lease the space. >> we're not fighting about money. this is just that a big tech company wants that space. >> reporter: the second option is to begin talks with google. >> oh, man, i don't want to start slinging arrows. all i know is they should save the club. >> reporter: in a statement, live nation, which owns the club, said while we search for a home for the punch line whether in the present location or somewhere else, the club will continue to support local comedy. we contacted google about leasing this property and they still haven't gotten back to us. also the board of supervisors is scheduled to vote about this proposal on june 3rd.

>> it is generally a large group, anywhere between 20 and 30 people. and it happens every single night. >> reporter: so here we are at the b.a.r.t. station waiting for the last train to see if what we hear is true, to see who's on it. just about 15 minutes before the train came, b.a.r.t. officers arrived. then a group of sfpd officers positioned themselves at the station doors that led to the terminal. the 1:40 arrived right on time. the b.a.r.t. cops went into the train as some passengers disembarked. a few were airport workers, presumably on the overnight shift. almost all appeared to be transients. more and more came out from the train as the b.a.r.t. officers swept each car. an airport duty manager confronted a ferry evader who was leaving through the emergency gate. he asked him and others if he had plane tickets. sfo policy, he said, allowed

only ticket holders and authorized personnel to be at the airport between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on this night the duty manager told us 15 transients were on the train. they were all greeted and briefed at the station doors pie san francisco police. >> we provide those persons with resources on where they can go and get, you know, shelter, food. we give them bus tokens in order to get there. >> reporter: the officers took each one to a waiting elevator down to a san transbus stop which operates all night long. one of those escorted complimented police. >> they're kind enough to give the people, the homeless people, tokens to get to where their destination is. >> reporter: it was another routine night at san francisco international airport. well, police tell us that it was a slow night the night we met that train here at the airport, with 15 transients aboard .

on a rainy cold night they tell us that number jumps to 30 or more. vic lee, abc 7. >> it's remarkable what you saw there, vic. the deputy chief said his officers were offering resource information to transients on the b.a.r.t. train. are they working with groups that then help the homeless? >> reporter: well, dan, the airport spokesman tells us that they are partnering with a local group here on the peninsula, homeless advocacy group called life moves and that they are looking to partner with similar groups in san francisco to help the homeless people who come here. back to you. >> vic, thanks very much. good work. today governor newsom announced he's forming a task force to tackle homelessness statewide. he has included a billion dollars in his latest budget. he appointed darrell steinberg and mark ridley thomas to lead the task force. >> this group is going out in the next few months and will

quickly before the morning commute begins. by 7:00 a.m. we'll look at mostly sunny skies except in the southernmost part of our viewing area. overnight lows are in the upper 40s to low 50s. highs tomorrow from upper 50s at the coast to mid-70s in the warmest inland spots. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. after some early morning sprinkles tomorrow, mainly sunny by midday. sunny again thursday and friday. slight chance of showers over the weekend, just saturday and sunday though. monday, which is memorial day, we start to clear out and warm up again. that's good news. i wish we could shift some of that sunshine to the weekend, though. >> thanks, spencer. the sharks kind of up against it. >> yeah, they certainly are. larry beil is here. >> warriors take care of business, they're in the finals. now the sharks, can they get it done? kind of in need of a miracle tonight in st. louis without three of their star players. can they give the blues the blues? sports, next.

good evening. win or start your summer vacation. that is the situation for the shorthanded sharks tonight. must-win game six in st. louis without the injured eric carlson, tomas and joe pavelski. all their stars hurt of is this the last time we'll see joe thornton in a sharks sweater? we'll see. ryan o'reilly with a shot and it's deflected in. blues up 1-0. a disastrous start for team teal on the road. it gets worse. blues power play, the wrister

and so 2-0 st. louis. sharks, second period. dylan gambrell. that's the first goal of his career. they're down 2-1. but braden shen on the doorstep. 3-1 blues and that's the score heading to the third period. on to baseball, do you want a souvenir? you got me, right? just a little farther, you got me, right? a's taking on the indians but chris davis aggravates his hip injury in his first at-bat so he exits. a two-run homer to right, a's take a 2-1 lead. matt chapman, this is stroked to left. marcus simeon comes around to score. the a's win their fifth in a row, 5-3 is the final score and the giants are hosting the braves. on to the warriors.

they arrived back in town around 2:00 this morning with the western conference finals trophy after sweeping portland four games to none. steph curry just amazing. now the warriors get nine days off to rest and recover before game one of the nba finals. >> we want to enjoy it. we know four wins defines your season, winning a championship. >> not a lot of guys get to go to one finals, let alone five straight. i really can't believe it and i can't wait to get started again. >> we know we still have more work to do. the goal is never just to get to the finals, the goal is to go win the finals. with these nine days off, we definitely want to get our guys healthy. >> the concern about nick bosa before the nfl draft was about injuries. on day two of otas, organized team activities, the 49ers rookie tweaked his right hamstring. the second overall pick did not finish practice. but jimmy garoppolo is pack and he is practicing. jimmy g. continuing his recovery

from acl surgery last september. niners being careful with their star quarterback. they're holding him out of some drills. they are trying to be cautious with that left knee. >> i think he's handling it as well as he can. he's getting used to it. it's just a long process when you recover from an acl. he gets as much work as he can get in. i know he'd love to be out there for every rep but he knows that he can't so he's trying to make the most of seven on seven and do as much work on every other aspect as he can. >> the raiders also practicing today. conspicuous by his absence, star receiver antonio brown. this camp is voluntary, not mandatory, but you usually get more than 90% attendance. raiders say it's no big deal and brown has been spending a lot of time at the facility learning the raider offense. >> no, he's -- he's not here today. hopefully we'll see him here in the next couple days. he's been working extremely hard learning our offense and really excited to get him out here. but i mthente have plenty of balls to throw and plenty of receivers to throw to.

>> among those not thrilled with the finale of "game of thrones" packers quarterback aaron rodgers who had a cameo in the show a couple of weeks ago. a spoiler alert here. the former cal star was not thrilled with the ending. >> you come down to the end and the person with the best story is bran? who, by the way, three episodes ago said he wasn't bran stark anymore? no. john had a better story. danny had a better story. everybody had a better story. brawn, a lot better story. jamie, better story. >> i'm with him. i mean there's so many people that had better stories to be on the throne. >> he's a fan obviously. >> oh, yeah. to rewrite season eight, i've signed up. >> a lot of people have done that. >> i keep voting. >> thanks, larry.
