great community. >> interim mayor nikki fortunato bass spoke, highlighting the diversity of this academy. i want to ask the women of this academy to please stand up so that we can appreciate. one of them was maya williams, who grew up in richmond. >> it's a tough city, but it's full of people who are tough, people who love the city, people who want to see it be better, do better. and when i chose to become a police officer, i knew exactly where i wanted to be, and that was oakland. >> but these graduates come into a department that is struggling with staffing, and a city that is struggling to pay the millions in overtime. new budget cuts passed this week include reducing police overtime spending by $25 million. for the past few weeks, the mayor has been meeting weekly with the police chief to monitor spending. >> i'll be joining the meeting on monday, and i want oaklanders to know that there's going to be a focus on ensuring officers are out on patrol, and they're also out on investigations, and so that means we are making sure our resources are going into responding and solving crimes.

>> anser hassan abc seven news. >> one of the organizers of the recall effort against san jose city council member omar torres is now looking to take his job. matthew quevedo announced he's running to fill the now vacant district three council seat. quevedo currently works as the mayor's deputy chief of staff, in charge of neighborhood outreach. >> i see the suffering on the streets when it comes to homelessness. i see the issues in our neighborhoods when it comes to public safety. i definitely be in a downtown residence. we do see the issues of blight and the need for beautification. >> the district three seat opened up when omar torres resigned last month while being investigated for child sexual misconduct. he has since been arrested and charged with three felonies. also in the south bay, two memorials were held to remember people who died while living on the streets. it also highlights the importance of doing more to help those experiencing homelessness.

death in california than anywhere else in the united states, according to the cdc. >> this is the reality of being unhoused. >> james and his mother experienced homelessness, and he says each name, each tombstone are grim reminders of the failures of our society. >> just the suffering that that that's going around. it's really unfortunate. and i just really want to ask the community that we do more because we can do more. >> leaders in the south bay have been trying to do more for many years, including san jose mayor matt mehan. he says the city has an ambitious goal next year to offer 1000 new safe, managed placements for people living on the streets and urgency brought on by this annual memorial. >> it's a tough day of reflection, but it also, if there is any silver lining, it's that it it kind of forces all of us to just reconnect with why we're doing the work and the harsh reality of things out there, and to recommit ourselves

so that next year there are less of these tombstones, maybe even zero. >> one day in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> in the north bay, marin county officials have reopened bolinas beach, but with several warnings for visitors. the popular beach was closed in september after a seeping liquid, thought to be human waste, was discovered at a nearby cliff. samples taken in september and november did not find any human waste. there was evidence, though, of chronic fecal contamination from multiple sources, including wildlife and pet waste. they say the bluffs are also unstable and prone to erosion and collapse. signs will soon be posted warning about the potential dangers. now, speaking of, there will be dangerous ocean conditions along the coast as lisa is tracking this level one storm and then a series of storms to follow the holiday week too. >> yes, that's right, we have light systems today and tomorrow bringing periods of scattered showers. but the surf definitely condition as we will see breakers over 20ft throughout

the weekend through 4:00 on sunday, and the breezy southerly winds with us along the coastline. so it's not going to be raining all the time, certainly. but as we get into christmas eve, monday night, christmas eve, that's a stronger system, a level two, and we'll get to all of that with the seven day outlook. but you can see the lightning strikes here that are far to the north. i mean, we can't rule out a rumble of thunder, but the main activity heads to the north while we see waves of scattered showers throughout the day. and we saw one of those waves move through. and it currently is moving through livermore and dublin. 580 right now, a little bit wet as well as pleasanton. and as we take you further south into fremont, you can see the wet weather here, logan drive and then further 8-80 into the south bay where the east foothills and 280 some wet weather into 680 as well the santa cruz mountains, and not much going on along the peninsula except a few areas of sprinkles, and as well in the north bay. but our surf continues to get larger. it is

by the moment here, 9 to 10ft, and we've got that large westerly swell, the risk of sneaker waves and rip currents right on through the weekend. so the level one with us today and tomorrow, looking at the dangerous surf, breezy winds in spots. and then we'll have a bigger break tomorrow afternoon. but today doesn't look too bad either. but the fog has certainly been an issue from a mile and three quarters in concord and to about a mile up in santa rosa. so gray skies, our exploratorium camera. it is 58 with the clouds and the breeze in hayward, with 55 half moon bay raindrops. here the golden gate bridge a slick roadways for sure. 50 santa rosa, the upper 40s in our inland valleys and a wet tarmac at sfo. those breezy winds impacting some of the activity there for sure. so the winter showers winter arrived while you were sleeping. we'll see more showers through the overnight hours and then next week we're looking at a stronger storm, a wet and windy pattern monday night into christmas eve, christmas day and hanukkah look dry. that's a good break for us. our extreme north bay will be

health insurance marketplace. we provide health insurance coverage to any californian who needs it, who doesn't have coverage from another place, like from their job or from the medi-cal program that serves our low-income residents. we also are the only place where you can find financial assistance to help pay for the cost of comprehensive, name-brand health insurance plans. open enrollment is the time of year when you can come to covered california, and you don't need a reason. other times of the year, if you lose coverage from another source or you just moved here, or you got married, anything like that, you can come at any time, but right now is the time when you don't need a reason to enroll. open enrollment runs until january 31st, but if you want to be covered for all of 2025, enroll by the end of december, and your coverage will begin on the 1st of january. we're very excited this open enrollment to have a few new things. first, we have more affordability than ever before through covered california, as we are expanding the california program that lowers out-of-pocket costs like co-pays,

and in fact it eliminates deductibles entirely. currently, around 800,000 of our enrollees are benefiting from this program. we cover 1.8 million as we head into 2025. every covered california enrollee will be eligible for the program. can enroll in a silver plan with lower costs with things like primary care, prescription drugs, and also no deductibles at all. the second new thing this year is we're also available to more californians than ever before with a new federal regulation that came to be over the summer. daca recipients can now access covered california, the coverage we offer, and all of our financial assistance programs for the first time. there are around 200,000 daca recipients that call california home. we estimate 40,000 could access covered california, our health coverage, and our financial support, and get covered in many cases for the first time. now, we are watching a legal challenge to that expansion, but right now we are open for daca recipients,

and we will provide accurate, up-to-date information if anything changes. so, covered california offers two kinds of financial help. the first lowers that monthly premium cost that we know. that's what people look out when they're deciding whether to get covered. we have 90% of those we cover receive that type of financial help. many people pay just $10 or less for coverage. in fact, about 2/3 of those who are uninsured and eligible for covered california would pay an estimated $10 or less per month to get coverage. we also offer subsidies that lower those out-of-pocket costs, so once you're covered, you can afford the care that you need. so this is lower co-pays, lower or no deductibles, right? those things that you might have to pay if you seek care, so you can access whatever the care is that you need. we're incredibly excited that california has lowered our uninsured rate more than any state in the nation, down from over 17% to just 6.4% based on the most recent data. yet we also know there are

over 1.3 million californians who continue to go without coverage and who are eligible either for no-cost coverage through medi-cal or low- or no-cost coverage through covered california. it's really hard to reach the remaining uninsured-- it's harder work than it used to be at the beginning. but we know there are barriers that remain, and one of them is just that our health care system is confusing and it's hard to navigate. and that's why, this open enrollment, we're launching our campaign let's talk health. it infuses open enrollment with health literacy, providing new resources that are in-language, tailored to our communities, and available across the state, through partnerships with our libraries. over 1,000 libraries across the state of california are joining us this open enrollment to help distribute those resources and further serve the communities in which they reside. covered california wants to make the process of enrolling as easy as it can be, so however is best for you is how you can enroll. you can enroll online at coveredca.com

or you can call us at 1-800-300-1506. and we also have over 14,000 enrollment partners in every community across the state who speak almost any language you can think of, who are ready to help you enroll at no cost, if that's what's best for you. open enrollment runs until january 31st, but if you want to be covered for all of 2025 and get that coverage starting on january 1st, enroll by december 31st. announcer: open enrollment runs now through january 31st. to receive coverage on january 1st and for all of 2025, you have to sign up by december 31st. visit coveredca.com for more information. announcer: the preceding advertisement is paid for by covered california.
