slide, landed on the concrete. he was able to walk away on his own. the city kept the slide closed since then. cal osha shows the city tested the slide a number of times using crash dumbies. the slide still fails to pass. the city of dublin says it continues to express sympathy and concern for the boy and, as far as the legal action, i'm quoting, the family lawyer refused to provide the injuries necessary to resolve the claim. the city attempted to reach a settlement with the family, again, the city choosing to announce they are suing the city and the slide manufacturer. reporting live in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there, bob. happening today, more lawsuits set to be filed against pg&e. attorneys from five law firms

you don't need equity. we don't care about you, we need the money. that's what they are telling us. >> the longer we punt these land use decisions down the road, the longer that program is not going to take effect. it's fair criticism, a fair comment and a discussion point we are having right now. >> reporter: the city will take up the issue later today. the topics are similar and talk about current dispensaries selling the recreational marijuana. also, as far as obtaining a license from the state, submitting an application and city fees for those interested and prohibiting an owner from multiple dispensaries. the city of walnut creek will take up the issue with similar concerns today. the goal is to have some form of regulation in place by january, 2018. live in san francisco, pete suratos, "today in the bay." >> the change will be here before we know it.
