THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS AT FIVE. WELL SPENDING PLAN SET. WHAT’S IN AND WHAT’S OUT IN SACRAMENTO’S NEW CITY BUDGET. NEW NUMBERS ON INFLATION ARE COMING BEFORE A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FEDERAL RESERVE MEETING. THE PREDICTION FROM ECONOMISTS WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE INTEREST RATES AND CITY GOVERNMENT UNDER ATTACK, A SCATHING REPORT THAT SINGLES OUT A SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE FOR HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION. GOOD MORNING. IT’S 5 A.M. AND DEIRDRE FITZPATRICK AND I’M TEO TORRES. IT’S LIKE LIVING ON THE FACE OF THE SUN. YESTERDAY IT WAS KIND OF PRETTY CLOSE. HOW’D THAT GO FOR YOU? I KNOW, NOT FUN. DIRK. UH, NO. DELTA BREEZE EITHER. PLAY A LITTLE SMASH MOUTH THERE. YOU KNOW, WE’VE GOT CONDITIONS THAT WERE. WE’RE HOT. WE DIDN’T HIT RECORD HEAT YESTERDAY IN SACRAMENTO, BUT WE DID IN TAHOE GOT UP TO 1 OR 85 DEGREES. THE OLD RECORD WAS 84. IT’S HOT FOR. THAT’S HOT FOR TAHOE. SO YEAH, FOLKS JUMPING IN THE WATER. I’M SURE EVEN THOUGH THAT WATER IS VERY COLD. UH, SO YOU GOT ONE OR THE OTHER, YOU FREEZE OR YOU HEAT, YOU BURN ONE OF THE TWO. WE’VE GOT CONDITIONS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW WHERE IT’S CLEAR SKIES. SUN IS MAKING ITS WAY UP. THERE’S NOT MUCH OF A BREEZE RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST INTO THE VALLEY. WE HAVE CALM CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW, BUT AFTER OUR WARM MORNING, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT BREEZE START TO PICK UP THE DELTA BREEZE IS GOING TO HELP COOLING THINGS OFF, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT DROPPING TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. RIGHT NOW 67 DEGREES. SO STILL FAIRLY WARM OUT AT THE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT WITH CLEAR SKIES IN THE SOUTHWEST WIND AT ONLY FIVE MILES PER HOUR. AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE DAY, WE’LL SEE A PRETTY QUICK JUMP IN TEMPERATURES AS WE GO THROUGH THE MORNING. BY 1:00, WE’LL BE IN THE 90S AND WE’LL PEAK IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. TODAY, DELTA BREEZE IS PRESENT AT 16 MILES AN HOUR IN FAIRFIELD, BUT WE JUST ARE WAITING FOR THE MARINE LAYER TO KIND OF CATCH UP AND GET DRAWN INTO THIS. AND THAT WILL HELP. SO WE’RE SEEING A BUILD RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE THE MONTEREY BAY TURNING BLUE. YEAH THAT’S THE MARINE LAYER. AND THAT’S GOING TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE BAY AREA. AND THAT’S REALLY GOING TO COOL THINGS OFF BY LATER ON TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. SO YOUR THREE REGION PLANNER LAKE TAHOE TEMPERATURES STILL EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE MID 80S FOOTHILLS. WE’RE LOOKING AT MID 90S AROUND AUBURN AND FAIRFIELD. THIS IS WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES DROPPING. WE’RE LOOKING AT DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TODAY. THAT’S YOUR WEATHER. NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT TRAFFIC WITH BRIAN HICKEY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS DIRK. WE’RE TAKING A LOOK HERE AT INTERSTATE 80 AS YOU’RE MAKING YOUR WAY WESTBOUND THROUGH ANTELOPE. THAT WILL BE THE TAIL LIGHTS THERE HEADING DOWN TOWARDS SACRAMENTO. NO PROBLEMS ALONG THE 80 CORRIDOR COMING ALL THE WAY IN FROM ROSEVILLE AND FOLSOM. LOOKING GOOD ALONG THE HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR. IF YOU’RE COMING IN THAT DIRECTION. COMING ACROSS THE W/X FREEWAY. NO DELAYS THERE. GETTING ONTO THE CAUSEWAY. LOOKING GOOD. WE HAD AN EARLIER CRASH THERE, BUT THEY’VE ALREADY MADE QUICK WORK OF THAT. NORTHBOUND FIVE AND 99. NO PROBLEMS OUT OF ELK GROVE ON THAT NORTHBOUND SIDE. WE’RE LOOKING GOOD THERE. AND AS WE CHECK IN ON STOCKTON, NO INCIDENTS TO REPORT HERE. WESTBOUND FOUR. LOOKING GOOD. A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWING THERE ON THE CROSSTOWN FREEWAY THAT SOME CONSTRUCTION THERE. WESTBOUND 205 IS A 20 MINUTE RIDE. WE HAD AN INCIDENT. NORTHBOUND I-5 TO 205, BUT OR 205 TO I-5. THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU, THOUGH. 580 A 27 MINUTE RIDE AND 99 MODESTO TO MANTECA NOW AT 13 MINUTES HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA, WE’RE LOOKING AT 11 MINUTES OUT OF ELK GROVE ON 599 80, A NINE MINUTE RIDE OUT OF ROSEVILLE AND HIGHWAY 50, A TEN MINUTE RIDE FROM RANCHO CORDOVA BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH, BRIAN. WELL, AFTER A MONTHS OF NEGOTIATING, SACRAMENTO CITY LEADERS HAVE ADOPTED THE NEXT BUDGET. IT ADDRESSES THE $66 MILLION BUDGET DEFICIT AND WAS APPROVED AFTER NEARLY THREE HOURS OF DISCUSSION. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THE VOTE PASSED 7 TO 2 WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS KATIE VALENZUELA AND MAI VANG VOTING NO. THIS BUDGET CLOSES THE DEFICIT WITHOUT LAYING OFF CITY WORKERS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CUTS TO DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS LIKE FREE PARKING DURING THE HOLIDAYS. A BUDGET INCLUDES REDUCTIONS STRATEGIES FOR THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THAT INCLUDES ELIMINATING VACANT POSITIONS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS SPOKE IN SUPPORT OF FUNDING FOR A PROGRAM THAT GIVES STUDENTS FREE RIDES ON SAC RT. JUST TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE THEY PROBABLY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY THEIR THEIR PARENTS DON’T HAVE THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY GIVE THEM, BUT THEY PROBABLY FEEL LIKE THEY GET TO WHERE THEY GOT TO GET TO. YOU KNOW, I TAKE NEARLY THE SECURITY OR FOR THE FREE RIDE PROGRAM NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IT’S FREE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. CITY INCLUDED TOURS TO $50,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT PROGRAM. MAYOR STEINBERG SAYS SAC, TT AND FOUR AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL CONTRIBUTE THE REMAINING $750,000 NEEDED TO KEEP THE PROGRAM THROUGH THE END OF NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. CALIFORNIA VOTERS MAY HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE A PROPERTY POSITION THAT LOOSENED DRUG AND THEFT PENALTIES, A BALLOT MEASURE TO REFORM PROP 47 QUALIFIED FOR THE NOVEMBER BALLOT. THE PROPOSITION PASSED IN 2014. IT REDUCED PENALTIES FOR SOME DRUG AND THEFT CRIMES FROM FELONIES TO MISDEMEANORS. LAW ENFORCEMENT BUSINESS GROUPS AND SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE BLAMED IT FOR A STEEP RISE IN CRIME. IT OFFICIALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE BALLOT. WE DO KNOW THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDERWAY, HOWEVER, TO GET IT OFF THE BALLOT. EARLIER THIS WEEK, DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO ADD A CLAUSE TO A SET OF BILLS THAT WOULD BASICALLY SAY THAT IF VOTERS APPROVED THE PROP 47 REFORMS, THEY WOULD REPEAL THE LAWS THAT THEY’VE SPENT ALL YEAR WORKING ON. BUT NOT ALL DEMOCRATS ARE BEHIND THAT PLAN TO ADD THAT CLAUSE. AND MOST OF THOSE BILLS ARE FOCUSING ON RETAIL THEFT. A DIFFERENT PROPOSED BALLOT MEASURE DID CLEAR A MAJOR HURDLE. ENOUGH SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN VERIFIED FOR THE CALIFORNIA FOREVER PROPOSAL TO GET TO THE BALLOT IN SOLANO COUNTY. FIRST, IT’S IN THE HANDS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. IN TWO WEEKS, THE BOARD WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THE MEASURE WILL GO TO THE VOTERS IN NOVEMBER OR BE DELAYED. AND THE MEASURE IS TO REZONE 17,000 ACRES OF LAND IN EAST SOLANO COUNTY TO CREATE A NEW COMMUNITY. THE MEETING IS JUNE 25TH THROUGH GETS BULLYING AND HARASSMENT. THEY’RE ALL ACCUSATIONS IN A NEW REPORT LOOKING INTO THE INFLUENCE OF A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE ON THE STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL, THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY GRAND JURY GOT COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS CITY EMPLOYEES AND ELECTED LEADERS ABOUT A THREATENING WORK ENVIRONMENT. THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN CREATED BY THE, QUOTE, ONGOING INTIMIDATION BY 209 TIMES. THAT’S A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE THAT HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS, CITY LEADERS SAID. IF THEY DIDN’T AGREE WITH OR SUPPORT POSITIONS PUSHED BY THE SITE, THEY WOULD BE VILIFIED AND UNFAIRLY ATTACKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY SAY IT GOT SO BAD SOME EMPLOYEES QUIT AND MOVED OUT OF STOCKTON. THEY ARE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON CERTAIN THINGS AND THEY ARE AFRAID TO VOTE AGAINST CERTAIN THINGS. SO AND IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO A OUTSIDE, UH, MEDIA. THE PLATFORM, BECAUSE 209 TIMES IS A PRIVATE ENTITY. THE GRAND JURY CAN ASK FOR CHANGES FROM THE PLATFORM. HOWEVER, IT RECOMMENDS THE CITY NOT ALLOW CELL PHONES IN EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, AND ATTENDEES SHOULD SIGN A PLEDGE OF SECRECY. CITY SAID IT WOULD LOOK INTO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS. MEANTIME, THE OWNER OF 209 TIMES CALLED THE GRAND JURY REPORT A, QUOTE, HIT JOB. NEW INFLATION, INFLATION NUMBERS ARE DUE TO BE OUT THIS MORNING, JUST HOURS BEFORE THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE ITS LATEST REMARKS ON INTEREST RATES. LET’S GO TO KCRA 3. AMY LU. SHE’S LIVE IN WASHINGTON. GOOD MORNING TO YOU, AMY. SO HOW COULD TODAY’S REPORT INFLUENCE THE FED? WELL, TAHOE AND DEIRDRE, TODAY’S REPORT COULD ACTUALLY TELL THE FED WHETHER OR NOT THESE ELEVATED INTEREST RATES ARE WORKING TO COOL DOWN INFLATION. ECONOMISTS BELIEVE THAT THE DATA FACTORING OUT FOOD AND FUEL PRICES WILL SHOW THAT THE RATE OF INFLATION ROSE 0.3% IN MAY. THAT’S THE SAME RATE AS LAST MONTH, WHILE YEAR TO YEAR INFLATION IS AT 3.5%, THAT’S STILL WELL ABOVE THE FED’S 2% GOAL. IT’S A SIGN THE ECONOMY REMAINS RESILIENT DESPITE HIGH INTEREST, THE FED IS STILL LOOKING FOR MORE MODERATE SIGNS OF GROWTH BEFORE CUTTING DOWN ON RATES. BUT OTHER MEASURES OF INFLATION, LIKE CONSUMER SPENDING AND HIRING, SUGGEST IT MAY BE TOO EARLY TO DO SO. WHAT THE FED REALLY CARES ABOUT IS RUNNING IN THE KIND OF 2.5 TO 3% RANGE, AND THE FED NEEDS IT TO BE AT TWO. NOW IT’LL COME DOWN. THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, WILL IT COME DOWN SUSTAINABLY? WILL IT STAY THERE? AND HOW LONG DOES THE FED NEED TO KEEP RATES WHERE THEY ARE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOES? YEAH. AND SHORTLY AFTER TODAY’S REPORT IS OUT, WHICH IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO, THE FED IS EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE IT WILL LIKELY KEEP INTEREST RATES WHERE THEY ARE. REPORTING LIVE FROM WASHINGTON THIS MORNING I’M AMY LU KCRA THREE NEWS AMY. THANK YOU. CREWS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REFLOATING THE AGING BOAT AURORA IN THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER DELTA. IT’S HAPPENING IN LITTLE POTATO SLOUGH NEAR EIGHT MILE ROAD IN EMPIRE TRACT. THE OFFICE OF SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE IS THE CREWS STARTED INSTALLING SOME PUMPS ON THE SHIP OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS WEEK, THEY’RE WORKING ON SUPPORTING THE PLAN TO REFLOAT OPERATION, AND THEY’LL TAKE A LOOK AT REMOVING THE OIL THAT MIGHT HAVE SPILLED. LIVECOPTER3 WAS UP OVER THAT 1950S ERA CRUISE SHIP AFTER IT STARTED SINKING ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE SAFETY ZONE AROUND THE SHIP IS STILL IN PLACE. NO OBSERVED IMPACTS TO WILDLIFE YET HAPPENING TODAY IN STANISLAUS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA’S NEWEST STATE PARK, IS OFFICIALLY OPENING TO THE PUBLIC. THE DOS RIOS STATE PARK IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES FROM MODESTO, SITS ON 2100 ACRES WHERE THE TUOLUMNE AND SAN JOAQUIN RIVERS MEET. PEOPLE HAVE SPENT YEARS TRANSFORMING AND RESTORING THIS AREA. AFTER YEARS OF FARMLAND USE. PUBLIC INVITED TO ENJOY BICYCLIST OR YEAH, PAINTING, YOGA AND MORE. THE OPENING CEREMONY IS AT 9 A.M. TODAY’S OPENING KICKS OFF STATE PARKS WEEK IN CALIFORNIA. IT IS 509. TIME TO KCRA 3. WEATHER AND TRAFFIC EVERY TEN MINUTES. DIRK JOINING US NOW. YEAH, LET’S GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT AGAIN ANOTHER WARM MORNING. WE HAD A HOT DAY YESTERDAY AND THAT HEAT’S BEEN WITH US OVERNIGHT. WE REALLY HAVEN’T SEEN A LOT OF RELIEF IN THE CLEAR SKIES HELPING SOMEWHAT. BUT EXPECT TO HAVE CONDITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY WARM THIS MORNING. RIGHT NOW BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE THOUGH. THE SUN’S COMING UP. SO WE’RE SEEING THAT LIGHT ON THE BUILDINGS. AND THOSE CLEAR SKIES. CURRENTLY 67 DEGREES IN SACRAMENTO, 68 IN STOCKTON. AGAIN TEMPERATURES. THAT’S PROBABLY ABOUT AS COOL AS IT’S GOING TO GET. WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES STARTING OFF IN THE UPPER 60S. AND THEN WE’LL BE HEATING UP, OF COURSE, THROUGH THE MORNING AND ON INTO THE AFTERNOON. ONSHORE BREEZE IT’S THERE. IT’S 15MPH AND THERE’S JUST NO MARINE LAYER. WE JUST DON’T HAVE THAT LOW CLOUD COVER ALONG THE COAST. BUT THAT BREEZE IS GOING TO PICK UP AND THE MARINE LAYER IS GOING TO BUILD. WE’RE SEEING THAT WORKING ITS WAY UP FROM SANTA CRUZ RIGHT NOW TOWARDS THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. AND SO THAT COMBINED WITH THIS INCREASING WIND AND FAIRFIELD LOOK AT THE WIND TIMELINE, SHOWING THOSE WINDS GETTING UPWARDS JUST SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 PLUS MILES PER HOUR EXPECTED. THAT MEANS GUSTS ARE GOING TO BE UP AROUND 30 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. CLEAR SKIES OVERHEAD. EXPECT TO HAVE TEMPERATURES THAT TODAY IN THE SIERRA WILL BE WARMING BACK INTO THE MID 80S. SO AGAIN NEAR RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES. WE’RE LOOKING AT POLLOCK PINES 88 AND 89 DEGREES IN ARNOLD FOR THE FOOTHILLS. TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S WILL GO FROM THE LOWER 90S IN GRASS VALLEY AND PLACERVILLE TO THE MID 90S IN AUBURN AND JACKSON, AND PUSHING EVEN INTO THE UPPER 90S SONORA AND ANGELS CAMP THERE AT 97 DEGREES, COOLING DOWN THOUGH IN THE BAY AREA, SAN FRANCISCO ONLY 64 DEGREES. THAT’S THE FORECAST HIGH. YEAH, THAT’S A BIG TURNAROUND. WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S AS OPPOSED TO 100 DEGREES IN FAIRFIELD AND 97 IN LAKEPORT, WHERE YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT MARINE LAYER TO HELP COOL THINGS OFF VALLEY TEMPERATURES. LOOKING AT MID TO UPPER 90S, 98 MODESTO, 94 TRACY AND THEN THROUGH THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE 90S TO GET FROM 90 IN VACAVILLE UP TO 102. STILL IN YUBA CITY.

THEY’RE NOT SEEING ANY DELAYS ALONG THE 50 CORRIDOR. 80 STARTING TO PICK UP, BUT SO FAR NO DELAYS TO REPORT HERE. WE’VE GOT NO INCIDENTS TO SLOW YOU DOWN ANYWAY. I-5 AND 99. LOOKING GOOD AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY NORTHBOUND FROM ELK GROVE INTO DOWNTOWN AND THROUGH STOCKTON. WE’RE LOOKING GOOD ACROSS THE CROSSTOWN FREEWAY, WESTBOUND HIGHWAY FOUR, A LITTLE BIT OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE NORTH SIDE THERE OF OUR SOUTHBOUND SIDE NORTH OF STOCKTON. AND THEN A HIGHWAY 50. WE’RE LOOKING AT A TEN MINUTE RIDE OUT OF RANCHO CORDOVA RIGHT NOW. INTERSTATE 89 MINUTES FROM ROSEVILLE, AND THEN FIVE AND 99, 11 MINUTES OUT OF ELK GROVE TO DOWNTOWN. BACK TO YOU GUYS.
