council has. defunded the police department that is absolutely not true. we have reduced the proposed increase to the police department in order to invest deeply in violence prevention and that again together with policing is going to make our community safer. it's it takes a comprehensive approach to deliver safety with housing jobs and violence prevention and police who are able to focus on violent to the serious crime. >> council president fortunato bass believes in a multi-pronged approach to fighting crime is needed saying the new budget keeps officers from having to respond to calls such as mental health cases. however, mayor schaaf says the council is not considering the need to invest more with opd to account for inflation money, which is required to deliver the same services.

>> 7.43 here on this saturday morning and it's a little foggy in some parts to start off this a holiday weekend. dave sphar is standing by. he's got look at your weather forecast. dave, are we going to be pretty mild for the 4th of july holiday looks like it. you know, sometimes we have these heat spikes temperatures go, you know, kind of crazy on us here hang on. there we go. i want i want to show this because we see fog even in the inland areas here a little

bit. it's very early in the day here. but there you see. >> we have some traffic going on here. so a little bit of fog to start off your day. but that will mix up tick in those inland valleys and then around the perimeter of the base soon to temperature. check here at magic here right i don't got 50's over most the board right now. lots of green covering all over the bay. some 60's inland. of course, the sun is just starting to do its magic and has to fight through some of this fog and clouds and everything like that. the scenario is pretty much the same fund. we're saying goodbye to this big high pressure system really baking the northwest big time. so we have our morning sneaks on and that's going to be the condition throughout this holiday weekend and even into early next week. but then the firing up in the some thunder showers around the sierra we saw a little bit more action going on with this rain early in the week and kind of start to dry out towards the end. but that lightning strikes were still there. so that's the problematic issue. we'd like to get kind of a stratus rain with those thunder showers. but thus typical summertime pattern. does that. so that's cut somewhat typical. but we do have a

change of the guard as i've been talking about all hours. all this hour. throughout the early part of the week, somewhat controlled mild seasonal temperatures if not a little below that. look at this break. happens here about thursday or so that means another high pressure cell developing this is just a coastal fog that develops in the morning hours, high pressure building means another heat spike and you're going to start to feel those effects maybe as early as friday in some areas potentially could pop up there to around as we get into next weekend. so we have a few days for we get there. see as we get little closer so far for today's progress. 67 high for san francisco will do the middle to lower 60's along the coast. meanwhile, on the bay side, 72 for burlingame heading south. we see around 80 redwood city. palo alto. 74 meanwhile, for mountain view. down in the south bay 79 for san jose 85 los gatos santa clara 80 also with cupertino, got the upper 70's looking on the east bay shoreline tri valley. you're looking at mid

80's. that's nor too bad. 84 for walnut creek concord at 85 not bad the 4th of july weekend. 72 oakland 66 for berkeley toledo. 66 85 for fairfield vacaville popping at 90, ok. there's your 90 84 going on for sonoma 82 santa rosa in the lower 80's down south again, it's the battle with the fog in southern marin. sometimes it's a little late in the day to clear so they can mess up temperatures will try 73 from mill valley. so let's do it. and the long-range forecast note in the morning. fog and clouds, everything clearing out again doing the same song and dance tomorrow. it looks like then for a 4th of july itself 86 tomorrow 89 for monday. we stay in the 80's until we pop by the end of the week at 96, maybe around 100. the east bay also responds to about 80 or so and then meanwhile, along the coast will do a lot of 60's, but they're going to be warming up to the upper 60's by week's end. noel, thanks, dave. >> people living in a neighborhood in el serino are on high alert after a coyote was spotted several times
