unhoused people living along the mahoney creek footpath about a new temporary living situation coming soon. >> alex velasquez is interested. >> if i knew how to sign up for it. yeah, i would definitely want to be there. >> okay. >> help me get my life back. >> the city's plan is to clear the south side of this footpath, unofficially known as camp integrity, and opened a temporary sanctioned camping area on the north side of the creek path, providing tents, restrooms, security and housing based case management. >> ultimately, the goal is to get people who are not housed into permanent supportive housing. >> murphy says there's room for 47 people. the sanctioned camp will last about 12 to 18 months, paid for through a grant from the state. the existing camp has generated multiple complaints from business owners like miriam de leon, who say customers are afraid to come to her restaurant. she's not sure the new camp will work. >> it's just move the problems from here to there, across the street. that's not going to help

our business. de leon thought governor newsom's executive order last month urging cities to remove homeless camps would mean fewer camps, not more. i think they need to find a good solution because i don't think they need to live in camps. >> the city says the sanctioned program is not a new encampment. instead, it's a path forward, away from homelessness. >> those who are living in the area, those who are going to participate in this program, will not simply just be living on the path, but actually exploring a route to housing participation in the sanctioned camp is voluntary. >> jeff groves says it's not for him. >> it looks good on paper, but that's about all i got to say about that. it does. it looks good on paper, but that that's going to be so overcrowded. smaller area. everybody sitting on top of each other. now the sanctioned camp could open by october 1st in san rafael. >> cornell, bernard. abc seven news. >> still ahead on abc. seven mornings. progress in the park. fire. how much yesterday's rain helped fire crews battle flames up north. and we'll take you

reduce wildfire risk. >> sometimes exceptional costs have to incur. that's been p-g-and-e's message as to why rates have increased so much in the last few years. but wildfires have not decreased. >> the issue that we have right now is really just a lot of receptive fuels on the ground, and that's what's increasing the wildfire risk, along with the heat that continues to dry out those fuels. >> and when this abundance of dry fuels gather around power poles, fires can start. and they have a lot in 2024. this year, p-g-and-e's is reporting 62 cpuc reportable ignitions from their equipment and high fire threat districts 29 since july 1st. in 2023 as a whole, there were only 65. >> so what we've done is we've created a task force based on the data that we're seeing in the field to look at what else could we be doing, what else might we need to change? >> p-g-and-e's wildfire safety program task force started in july and is using technology to recognize hazards that may start fires right now, we've

identified 50,000 poles within the highest fire risk areas to go out and work and try to remove that vegetation at ten feet around the base of the pole. >> by the start of september. >> p-g-and-e's equipment has been blamed for sparking some of the state's deadliest wildfires in recent years, including the 2018 camp fire, where 85 people died in the town of paradise. mark toney is the executive director for the utility reform network. he says bills have skyrocketed more than 100% in the past four years with this latest fire data. toney says it's fair for customers to question if the increases are worth it. >> the customers are paying the price of more expensive and slower wildfire >> toney would prefer to see cheaper, faster ways of wildfire mitigation, like insulated lines over seemingly constant increases, with little results. dustin dorsey, abc seven news

pass and tackle alfredo gutierrez nearly took it into the endzone anyway. niners head coach kyle shanahan, among the many who enjoyed it. >> it was pretty cool. i mean, that was one of the more fun plays that i've seen, you know, it was frustrating to end there in a tie. you don't ever want to end in a tie, but i'm definitely glad that we don't have to go to overtime in the preseason, so i'd much rather have that. it was a real fun play, but, all for nothing. >> and that is sports. have a wonderful sunday. >> developing news now. hurricane joan is approaching hawaii this morning. it's increased to a category one hurricane from a tropical storm overnight. forecasters expect the hurricane to bring flooding and wind damage to the big island. they also expect joan to raise wildfire risks in the drier areas. a tropical storm warning has been issued for all of the big island. the hawaii tourism authority recommends people postpone outdoor activities. as for us here at

home, no rain in sight, at least for now. >> yes, stephanie. correct. we had all we could manage yesterday with those couple hundreds across the bay, but you know, it did come down pretty good for a while, right? where temperatures were kind of muggy throughout the afternoon. well, that system has shifted off to the east of us, and now we have high pressure building on in. and that's going to allow for a big warm up today, starting with the golden gate bridge, where it is nice and clear, where temperatures are in the 50s for you right along the coast, but with visibility reduced due to the dense fog there. half moon bay 59. in hayward it is 57. oakland san francisco 60, in san jose and little haze here from our sutro tower camera. upper 40s petaluma, where temperatures are certainly cool from napa by the delta 58. in concord, livermore is at 54. and finally mount tam, their patchy fog at the coast. looking at sunny and warmer conditions today and the

warm weather lasting through monday tuesday, even wednesday, the drop off in temperatures will be slight and then into the latter part of the week, it cools off. so as we get into tomorrow and tuesday, that's when we're going to see that big warm up. this is a hurricane warning for the big island here around hilo, where rainfall amounts are anywhere from ten to even 20in of rain. so we've got the wet weather through the big island and maui, and then the impacts from the wind and the surf through oahu and kauai. so certainly the impacts through sunday night here with the hurricane and we're also looking at hurricane gilma, which is getting pretty strong from a cat three to a cat four going back and forth. but this will not be affecting hawaii, hawaii. it will continue to weaken in the next couple of days. so the pacific here? yes, getting active and usually these systems die out. certainly quickly. but you know, with the warmer waters here, we're seeing these really continue to strengthen at times.

>> it really was. yeah and it was a mess yesterday in the sacramento valley with some flooding around roseville. we had a couple hundredths. we're on our way to a big warming trend beginning today. this is a look at concord, where you could reach the upper 80s to near 90 today. even hotter for monday and tuesday, flirting with 100 degrees in our inland valleys, and then a slight cooldown on wednesday, more likely thursday and friday. it's a significant cooldown. the accuweather seven day forecast has us in the low 80s around the bay shore. even upper 60s at the coast today. so really nice day. it gets pretty sticky and hot inland monday and tuesday. feeling like summer though. and as we get through the rest of the workweek it should be pretty nice. so yesterday was unusual. i don't see a repeat performance for that in our near future, but it was good news for the park fire and for many up in the pacific northwest and those fires. >> yeah, no, it's great to see that. well, thank you all for joining us this morning. we'll see you back here for abc seven news at nine. have a great day
