according to documents that builder did not let caltrans know the 19 ft.oncrete section of the power of the bridge was not harden before being tested. because of this the paper says that other tests and repairs could not get done. in addition, they found out that there were more problems with other piles of the bridge and gaps in the cal trans data. we spoke with caltrans representatives at say that their confidence in the city of the foundation and the piles of the tower. caltrans plans to address all concerns brought up from the sacramento bee. unfortunately for caltrans the timing is not great. this incident comes on the heels of another one that happened back in november. caltrans employee duane wiles was fired as a result of another investigation. the sacramento bee found out that he falsified as bad that on three other projects. caltrans found no evidence that he did this while working on the bay bridge. but he was let go after they found out that he was adding extra overtime hours. so construction continues for now. the new bridge is expected to ope

i am not a professional builder. they have asked us to approve this. assuming they have heard the same concerns from the public. like i said, i will be happy to continue this for next month to get -- when we have come back to the commission and made a presentation, please also take into consideration whether the code asks for a specific item explaining how things are supposed to be built or the code reference a performance measure. the building needs to perform to this standard. obviously, a performance measures is gun to be up for interpretation about how the building -- is going to be up for interpretation. i would like to know how our inspector interprets these things. what do we tell the builders or the designers? do we tell them, you need to figure it out? or do we give them examples to make their building perform at that level? those are two different things. whether it is a performance measure or an actual physical requirement that you need to provide, this material or this item. i think we're going to run into the same program when it comes to

the sacramento bee is reporting caltrans' records show a builder may have compromised the tower. the builder did not report a section of concrete in the foundation failed to harden before it was tested and that failure meant no examination or repair was done. also, records show two of the piles built to whole the main tower were not tested -- to bill the main tower were not tested properly. >>> two lightning caused fires in the national forest have grown to 122,000 acres. winds are -- lighter winds are helping. fires burned a dozen homes and threatening a privately owned ghost town. homeowners are waiting and worrying. >> really hope that if anything is destroyed by fire that people have a good spirit and they can rebuild. >> yesterday, new mexico's governor ordered national guard troops to secure evacuated areas. >>> tropical storm beryl is swamping the southeast coastline washing away people's holiday plans. beryl made landfall in northern florida overnight it is expected to turn everything in its path in a soggy mess. tahman bradley has more. >> reporter: for resident along th

i think it would make it much more competitive for builders of market rate housing, or any housing that included an affordable component to be able to cite it across the street where the construction is about 5 per unit. and that makes sense to me. and the other thing is, -- and this may take some change at the state level. would we be allowed to count housing that is near the area, but not actually within the transbay area, toward the affordable mandates? i don't know if that could be done, but it makes perfect sense to me that if you put 100% of affordable complex, and it's just on the edge of transbay, it would certainly have all of the benefits of being right within transbay. i would like to know what the barriers are. and the other thing that was brought about the malodorous -- melarus, i guess this is funding for redevelopment. if your redevelopment, you can also be infrastructure finance. but i do not think that precludes some other funding tool that could be used to spread the cost more broadly to all of the people who benefit from it, including existing buildings that are alrea
