to ensure that we can have access with a waterfront stadium. >> reporter: nashville, portland, montreal and las vegas have been mentioned as cities that would love to have a major league baseball team. a spokesperson for libby schaff says they call on the community, regional and local partners to rally together and support a waterfront facility that keeps the a's where they belong. the a's have called oakland home since 1968 growing to become part of the fabric of the east bay and for people who grew up here it's a part of our childhood. all the great memories going to the ballpark. seeing the a's but this has ng a w ballpark. larry beal is hewith a look at the latest on what's going on, larry. >> thanks ama, the

major league baseball is to stop the a's from dragging their feet. the history of the a's seeking a new venue this goes back a %-ú then lou wolf came along with john fisher, they tried to move to freemont then san jose. cabel picked up made a pitch. any of these came short of getting a shovel close to the ground. some division against politicians in the city about what to do with the existing coliseum location. the a's want to redevelop that site. and the team really recently asked for more than $800 million in infrastructure and that has raised some concerns. >> we need to have other

options because we're running out of time. the current facility, we can't everyone keep the lights on some days. we need to make sure the franchise has a landing zone some where if it doesn't work in oakland. >> obviously the pandemic halted all progress. mlb is saying enough is enough. there's plenty of cities that would like to have the a's. you have vegas, nashville, you have portland. there are other opportunities out there but none of those cities have existing ballparks that the a's could just move to any time soon. so it's oakland's move now. approve howard terminal or perhaps you watch the a's follow the raiders and warriors out of town. we'll have more on this tonight at 6:00. >> then everybody is gone. all right thanks larry. >> yeah. all right now let's turn to new developments on the drought. in sonoma county officials are asking tens of thousands of people who rely on the russian river watershed to use much less water.

of us could be looking at 60% less. history is not on our side. >> it's bad, this is the lowest we've ever seen our two reservoirs at this time of year. >> reporter: this what lake sonoma reservoir may look like in october of a normal year. but now facing cuts in sonoma which also takes russian river. >> some people llhave to let their lawns lyheke ovear of deja vu, all over again. dwindling reservoirs of the declining snow pack under score this drought we find ourselves

in. meteorologist drew tuma is here with more on that. >> reporter: yeah, dan in an ideal year we would have a deep snow pack that slowly melted through the summer months. s that not the reality this year. look at the satellite imagine from today. you notice two things really. how brown our landscape is under our current drought conditions. and how minimal our snow pack is right now we're running just 6% of average statewide when it comes to the sierra snow pack. even running 2-1/2 weeks faster than the snow melting last year. so we're going to see little further rekhaárpblg in our streams and creeks and eventually our reservoirs because of the minimal snow pack, further our streams. and here you see trinity lake 64%. running 60% of what they would

this time now. we want to turn vaccines for children. >> california health officials dr. ali and erica california is set to start vaccinating children 16 and older. now it is up to individual states to implement. georgia already gave the light for the young age group. western state scientific group will meet tomorrow to discuss all of the data. they will talk about what what h effects young people will experience. >> fatigue, fever, headaches very typical things we've seen in a number of adults

experience. but that more significant side effects and consequences of the vaccine are very rare in all who have received the vaccine and even in this 12 to 15 age group. >> reporter: so dr. goli and dr. pon both have 16-year-old children and they say they're both looking forward vaccinated and resuming their more normal lives. guardian consent for children under 18 is still required but dr. ponce says it can be written consent or via facetime if a parent can't physically be there for the vaccine. >> kate, thank you. governor newsom has has

says it's unclear if people would receive. me also wants to know if the plan will he also wants to know if the plan will exceed. >> reporter: a spokesperson said $5.2 billion in rental assistance is from federal funding. but $2 billion is new state funding. for eligibility he says the state is adhering to federal guidelines. but ultimately who qualifies for the 100% rent relief will depend on tense negotiations in sacramento. >> the governors proposal is just a proposal. so in other words it changes nothing a of today. it's a proposal and start of a conversation with the legislature. >> the governor is touring the state all this week and announcing other policy proposals ahead of friday where he will announce his revision to the budget. all of this is happening while he faces the recall election which remind me something a
