considered properly staffed. >> we're budgeted for 723, but the reality is, is that we don't have a recruitment division, we don't have a ability for us to go out in our own community and get people to be make a direct impact on the city of san jose. >> san jose leaders say while they work to increase funding, people should continue to educate themselves and prepare as much as they can for a major fire event, including having an evacuation plan ready to go. >> san francisco cracking down on speeding. the city is rolling out dozens of cameras in areas considered most dangerous by law enforcement. >> the cameras will not be turned on until march, and as ktvu christien kafton shows us, the city is giving people advance notice of this new technology. billboards like. >> this are popping up around san francisco, letting drivers know that speed enforcement cameras are coming. shannon hake manages san francisco municipal transportation agency's speed enforcement camera program, and said the cameras will start snapping photos of speeding

echoed by the synthetic turf council, an agency headquartered on the east coast. its leaders say there are many studies suggesting there aren't as many harmful risks as proponents suggest. it's submitted a letter to the board saying in part, quote, families, schools and businesses should choose synthetic turf because it provides year round access to affordable, durable and eco friendly fields, especially in drought prone states like california. a ban on turf in santa clara county will only hurt communities by depriving them of these long term benefits and cost savings. that turf uniquely provides. but those supporting the ban say the risks they are trying to bring to light should be taken seriously. >> and even though it might be hard, it might not be as convenient. we might have to learn a little bit about how to take care of that soil in the land, to have deeper roots and to have more resilient, you know, playing fields. i think we think that's important to pursue that. >> if a vote on the ban passes
