101 northbound sig alert issued earlier as the fire spread to a surrounding area around ellis street. i'll get confirmation from chp. so far we have yet to hear those lanes have been cleared. sounds like things are moving, marla. we'll track this. back to you. >> thank you, mike. traffic department new video this morning of a crash in the east bay, a car crashing into the back of a big rig. you've got to check out this video. the accident happened after 2:00 this morning. westbound 580 in livermore. you can see it's a serious one. the car rear-ended the big rig and was dragged several hundred yards before coming to a stop, wedged under the back side of the big rig. one person, the driver, was airlifted to the hospital with unknown injuries. all lanes opened less than 30 minutes ago. a new study out this morning suggests major budget cuts are causing big problems policing some east bay cities doubling

response times in some instances. "today in the bay's" christie smith live in martinez with more on the study and the impact on east bay residents. not the news you want to hear. >> good morning, not the news you want to hear at all when you call the sheriff's department in contra costa county for help. instead of arriving in five minutes, which is the standard response, what it's supposed to be, what they are saying is the new standard is closer to eight minutes and 39 seconds to arrive for some top priority calls. budget cuts here in the county forced reductions in patrol and other services. 50 sworn officers were cut in the past three years. now, this is part of the first countywide look at police agencies that find that many of them are cutting special crime fighting units, things like gang suppression units, closing substations, just to keep patrol officers out on the street. the study also goes on to

suggest that the six cities that include unincorporated areas, san pablo, pleasant hill, antioch, brentwood, concord, walnut creek, many residents there consider it politically challenging and taxes could be higher. but the suggestion is that they might want to just police their own areas. other recommendations include jointly buying equipment, which could save money for alameda and contra costa county. also saving special teams like gang suppression units through cost sharing. also doing simple things like just deploying volunteers. now, the public will have a chance to weigh in on this. this whole issue will be taken up on august 10th at the board of supervisors chambers here in martin martinez. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." thank you. pension reform in san francisco. residents will vote on pension reform this madoff. the city's board of supervisors

unanimously approved placing mayor ed lee's reform proposal in the hands of voters that would make city workers pay more toward retirement benefits and cap benefits received and raises the retirement age. mayor lee says san francisco would save almost $1 billion over a 10-year period. public defender has a similar measure which should make it to the ballot. he says it would save the city even more money. oakland voters will soon get to decide the future of a tax mayor. the city council voted to place $80 per year tax proposal on special election mail only ballot in november. the mayor says a temporary five-year hike will net oakland $11 million a year. she says the funds would boost hiring of police officers and save libraries. oakland leaders closed a 58 million deficit but more short falls are expected later this year. 5:04, the tension is high

well, looking to calm a tense situation today, san francisco police chief will hold a community meeting in the bay view district. last night a protest over the recent fatal shooting involving an officer turns for the worst. today's bob redell live in fran with the bay view with the latest for us. good morning, bob. >> good morning to you, marla. yes, that meeting planned for tonight on behalf of the sfpd is designed to calm the anger erupted in the bay view district over saturday's police shooting death of a 19-year-old man. that meeting tonight will be attended by the police chief himself and local san francisco supervisor. that anger spilled over into the castro district last night where protesters marched. one of them smashed a window at the bank of america branch. it should be noted this appears to be isolated. we weren't able to find any other damage out here this morning. last night's protest march was more disruptive than anything to

the opponent police ended up arresting 35 people. the march started at dolores park when they arrived in the castro police say protesters smoke bombed the muni station here and disrupted service along market. at the mission police station someone threw a hammer at officers. no one was hurt. the marchers are demanding more police accountability after saturday's shooting death of kenneth harding. two officers tried to stop harding at the muni station saturday afternoon because he didn't have a proper transfer ticket. police say harding then ran and started firing his gun at officers. officers shot back hitting harding. you can see him in the cell phone video after the shooting lying on the ground. he did die later at the hospital. harding had been on parole. incidentally was wanted for questioning in last wednesday's shoot death of a young woman in sal seattle. there's been anger since saturday's saluting. some kids in the neighborhood

reportedly threw things at muni. bus drivers slightly injuring one, which brings us to tonight's community meeting. again, san francisco police chief greg suhr will be holding this meeting at 6:00 at the bayview opera house to address the shooting, talk to residents who live in that neighborhood. by the way, the opera house isn't live from the site of that shooting. live in san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> no doubt people will show up to hear what he said. police offering more evidence showing the shooting was justified. they said 19-year-old kenneth harding this gun residues on his hand. they say that suggests he did, in fact, fire at officers saturday. two people are in jail this morning in connection with the murder of a union city mother. police have yet to identify the suspects but say they were taken into custody in east oakland yesterday. they are accused of killing 21-year-old monica rojas and setting her body on fire in the

rock ridge neighborhood of oakland last week. a funeral for rojas is scheduled for friday morning. 5:34, a new study out suggests major budget cuts causing big problems in some east bay cities when it comes to policing and emergency response. "today in the bay's" chris submit is live in martinez with more on the study and the impact it has on the folks who live in the east bay. good morning. >> good morning to you marla. this is not the thing you want to hear when you call the sheriff's deputies for help, that they are on their way but maybe not as fast as you think. the new study found average response time for top priority calls has doubled from a goal within five minutes to closer to 8:39. the contra costa county sheriff's department has lost 50 sworn officers in three years. this is one of the findings of the first county wide look at police agencies across the board that found many of them cutting

special crime fighting units, doing things like closing substations and driving their cars longer just to keep patrol officers out on the street. the sheriff's department was forced to cut both patrol and special services. in a twist, crime rates, though, have actually declined in the county at the same time. the study also suggests, though, cities with unincorporated areas consider annexation. this could mean boundary shifts and higher taxes, so that could be controversial. other fixes include jointly buying equipment, hiring dispatchers in contra costa and alameda county. saving the special teams like gang suppression units through collaboration, and also doing simple things like deploying volunteers. the study was ordered by a county group that oversees and public services. the county will take a closer look at this whole report august 109. if you want to weigh in, that meeting is being held at the

board of supervisors chambers at 1:30. reporting live in martinez, christie smith, "today in the bay." thank you, christie. new studies shows half a mill illegal residents in the area. 180,000 ma santa clara leads the area with 180,000, alameda came in second with 124,000, contra costa county had 79,000. the study shows the number seems to be dropping as immigrants move inland or to another state. researchers used tax returns, previous national estimates and mathematical models to come up with these figures. good morning, it's 5:37, just a gorgeous shot behind me here. i love the shot of the bay bridge. this time of the morning you can expect a nice day ahead. meteorologist christina loren joins us with a look. >> good morning to you. we have very, very little low

concern, this would actually lower taxes but raise a trillion dollars in revenue by closing loopholes something poth sides say they are willing to take a look at. what really seems to be drawing attention are safeguards they put in so congress can't get around these spending caps as easily as they have done in the past. the president calls it a significant step. republicans say there's some good elements to work with here. americans just want tomorrow to compromise the latest nbc poll find majority-backed obama plan which would include cuts to the budget and tax increases and raising revenue. marla. >> can't we all just get along. okay. thank you very much, tracie. 5:44. this next story, strange and disturbing. a south bay woman in jail accused of trying to kidnap a toddler by snapping her out of her mother's arms.
