say it's time for those responsible -- to pay up. and they're filing a lawsuit to cover the costs. od afternoon, now at noon, south bay families who lost everything in flooding say it's time for those responsible to pay up and they are filing a lawsuit to cover the costs. good afternoon, i'm anne makovec in for kenny choi. >> i'm michelle griego. there's been a lot of finger- pointing over who is

responsible for the coyote creek flooding and damage. today families in san jose spoke about the devastation and many are upset with how officials handled the evacuation. >> we're on the first floor, so we did lose everything. we had no warning and it was a little disconcerting to find out that the animals had been in the park rescued and moved and we weren't given, you know, the decency of a warning. >> kpix 5's jackie ward explains, residents are now taking action and filing claims. >> reporter: it's been nearly five months since this neighborhood was under four feet of polluted water, and as you can see, this neighborhood is still covered in filth. people are living among it. they are putting the blame on the city of san jose, the santa clara valley water district and the county of santa clara. at one point, san jose says 14,000 of its residents had to be evacuated and find temporary housing. the san jose mayor admitted the city failed to provide adequate

warning to people about the likelihood of the flood and that more should have been done. amanda haas is the attorney representing the victims and says some of those who were displaced still need a stable place to call home. >> it's good to hear some acknowledgment that there was -- they could have done more and sooner. but until people have been compensated with no warning, there's more to do. >> reporter: since march san jose talked about a plan to extend floodwalls and levees upstream of coyote creek in order too prevent this level of flooding from happening again. residents who live where it flooded are skeptical and said the potential for this level of flooding has always been there, but long range plans to protect the area that were considered more than a decade ago were determined to be too big and expensive by the u.s. army corps of engineers. therefore, it was never carried out. the city of san jose estimates that there is $73 million worth

of damage. in san jose, jackie ward, kpix 5. >> the attorney says some people who had direct contact with floodwaters have had persistent respiratory and skin issues since february. santa cruz county is taking emergency action to keep running water flowing to a community. >> reporter: the town of davenport has 400 residents and it was on the brink of losing running water. the county is stepping in to make costly repairs to the water pipes. still, officials are blaming a closed down cement plant for the problem. the pipes kept the water flowing to the community but cemex shut down the plant in 2010 and this year's severe storms damaged the pipes on the property. county leaders say they have asked cemex to repair the pipe for six months. the town is relying on a backup water source since february, and that's set to dry up in

weeks. >> just because they have chosen to close the plant, their responsibility doesn't end. i hope they do the right thing. >> reporter: the county supervisor says today if the situation is not resolved, the county may be forced to take legal action. for now, the santa cruz county sanitation district will make the repairs, costing the county about $220,000. cemex has not responded to our request for comment. in the newsroom, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. caltrain's board of directors is meeting to discuss fare and parking changes. the transit agency says it needs the hikes to close a multi-million dollar budget shortfall. kpix 5's katie nielsen on the what the proposed changes could mean to commuters. >> reporter: 60,000 people each weekday hop on caltrain and soon, that trip might cost more. frustrating some commuters. >> i never imagined i'd be in this position where i would depend on caltrain, and it's

frustrating feeling like you're a hostage. >> reporter: increasing the zone fare by 25 cents, eliminating the eight-ride tickets and increasing monthly parking from $55 to $82.50 is the proposal. it would raise the go pass rates from $190 a month to $285. >> that's going to help improve the service? then i'd be all for it. >> reporter: other commuters say, paying more might not be worth it. >> i think i would be looking elsewhere for other routes, but right now the options are limited in terms of getting to the city. >> reporter: today caltrain held a public hearing at its headquarters in san carlos to discuss the proposed changes. >> two things about caltrain riders. they already pay their fair share of the fare. >> reporter: after today's public hearing, caltrain staff will make a final recommendation regarding the fare hikes to the board in august. if they go into effect, it will

be in october. in san francisco, katie nielsen, kpix 5. >> caltrain is also discussing a pilot program that could reduce nighttime and weekend fares. have you ever bought or sold something online and been a little nervous about meeting the person for the exchange? the bay area's first county- backed safe exchange zone opened today. it's in redwood city at the maple street correctional center. there are two specially marked parking spaces all within view of high definition cameras that are monitored around the clock by jail personnel. the best part is, anybody can go there for a transaction. >> a nominal cost to the taxpayer. it gives the taxpayer the opportunity to come here free of cost. you don't have to live in redwood city. you don't have to live in san mateo. it's open to everyone. it's open to everyone. >> obviously, there's no way to guarantee every transaction will be trouble-free. but the chances of something going awry are much lower than at a home or business. right now, protestors are clashing with police in

face meeting with russian president vladimir putin tomorrow. this morning, he delivered perhaps his strongest criticism of russian activity since taking office. >> we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and a support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. >> reporter: the white house confirms that the president will talk about syria and isis during the meeting tomorrow. but it's unlikely he will bring up alleged russian interference in the 2016 election. the president has struggled to articulate his thoughts on whether russia did or did not interfere. >> i think it was russia but i think it was probably other people and/or countries. and i see nothing wrong with that statement. nobody really knows. nobody really knows for sure. >> reporter: mr. trump blames president obama for failing to take action during the election. weijia jang, cbs news, the white house. new at noon, the government ethics director just announced
