"Sympathy, no nothing. It was just straightforward. This is our job. This is what we're gonna do. Steven, your reaction to this. It's heartbreaking. The city needs to be solving homelessness, not contributing to homelessness. When we take people's vehicles, that could be the beginning of a downward spiral for that person. And that applies to anybody. If you lose your car, you might have trouble getting to work and lose your job. You lose your job, you may have trouble paying the rent and you lose your apartment. Well, you lose your apartment, you may end up homeless or on our sidewalks. So briefly, Steven, what must be done for this towing issue? I believe that we need to have new rules at the city so that we're not towing the vehicles of low income residents and selling them at auction. Let's find a way to enforce the parking laws, but not at the expense of people's vehicles livelihoods and homes. Earlier, I spoke with you, you know, several months ago about the work that you're doing to take a look at these fees, these fees that are just expensive and outrageous and this problem. So where are we at now in the progress of the committee and was this audit a part of that process that you've been working on? Yes, this audit was a part of the process of evaluating the city's poeing policies, specifically because too many residents are losing their cars. With the information that we gained in this audit, I will now be working with the office of the city attorney to draft new rules to prevent this kind of situation from taking place again. San Diego city council member for district three Stephen whitburn, thank you for joining us. The San Diego police department has yet to return a request from kogo news for comment, but the San Diego union tribune reported San Diego police chief David niz light released a statement concerning the audit, the statement says the department will quote work with city leadership in an effort to identify problems and assist in the city's policy decisions for the toe administration program.

"600 kogo I'm Jack cronin sandag, the San Diego association of governments is looking at the near future of technology including self-driving cars and transportation options and how they connect to the existing public transit system including the trolley and rail system. Internet Meyer is the senior director of regional planning at sandag. Zach, our panda board of directors adopted a very ambitious long-range transportation plan last December and we're really eager to move projects in the plan forward and really improve transportation in the region as quickly as possible. So late last year, we invited the private sector to submit innovative concepts for what we call transportation connector services that could be built in a relatively short time frame 5 to ten years and that would help us achieve our goals for improving mobility and sustainability and equity in the region. This was a phase competition. It has resulted in a partnership with three teams who we are working on furthering develop their concepts and ultimately we hope to collaborate on planning, designing and building those projects. So the three firms put together very different transportation proposals all have a lot of potential for the region. One of the teams is led by a firm called beep, and they are proposing to bring shared electric autonomous shuttles that can provide transportation to and from transit and around a community. And they're also building out the electric vehicle infrastructure to support those cells. Another firm is called Cordoba, and they are proposing to extend the blue line trolley about a mile into Tijuana and building out secure preclearance facilities for customs and immigration and also expanding and really building out the Santa cedro transit center into a two story multimodal state of the art transit center. And the last team that we selected is called global via and they are proposing to help build out the next generation managed lanes network. And this will help support the transition to connected and autonomous vehicles and these managed lanes will also really help to provide transit service with our reliable lane that they can operate in

"On Neil's radio 600, kogo, Jack cronin, father Joe's villages says inflation is leading to higher homeless numbers in San Diego this year, even as the population increased coming out of the pandemic. Dick and Jim Vargas is the president and CEO at father Joe's. We are as frustrated as everyone in the community to see the number of those are falling into homelessness increase. We know this is the last point in time count in 2020. The most recent one here this year that you begin at 2022 shows a 10% increase. We had more than 7600 in the prior count we now have more than 8400 were falling out of the street. We also know that the number of families that are falling into homelessness are also increasing as well. And so frustrating. So the reason we authored this report is basically to really highlight the situation that's on the street. What's happening? What are the realities that are facing these individuals who are experiencing homelessness? And we want to be able to have the public discourse in the potential solutions to what exacerbating the conditions out there on the street. So we've broken up the report into 5 categories. We are looking at how the lack of affordable housing and the cost of living is impacting those who are on the streets. And those were at risk of falling onto the streets, right? The intersection then of healthcare and homelessness, how substance use disorder is really wreaking havoc with individuals who are on the streets. And we also see the number of encampments that are out there homeless and candidates that are out there just rolling that lease and balance. And how is that impacting the community? And those who are on the streets as well. And then the criminal justice system and how that is also impacting those who are on the streets as well. So those are the 5 categories. And within the report, what we've done is not only surfaced the situation, it discusses exactly what that play there. And then it presents some solutions as well. As a way of kick starting the conversation that has to very much ensue in order to really get at the heart of the situation out there and truly make a difference in the going forward. People think that the primary reason people are falling into homelessness is either mental health challenges or substance use disorder issues. The reality is that this town of our San Diego county, the number one reason that people are falling into homelessness is economics. It's the cost of living. The fact that the inflation rate is increasing is extremely impactful to those in our community here. As a result, more and more people who have been at risk of falling at home was just now suddenly have been thrown into homelessness, right? So the number one reason are the economics, including the lack of affordable housing. We know that the average rent for one bedroom apartment is over 2500 at this point in time. And that the rental vacancy rate is quite low. It's at about three and a half percent. So what does that mean that there aren't enough units and those that are available are too expensive for a fair number of the individuals in San Diego? So as a result, throws it into homelessness. So it's really the economics of the number one reason. Then of course, it is exacerbated by the fact that individuals, some of them do suffer from mental health challenges and issues and some have substance use disorder issues as well. And if you don't have those before falling into homelessness, if you become chronically so, then there's a tendency for that to increase as well. So there are a lot of things that come into play. It's extremely complicated. We're in this situation as community because it is extremely complicated. People complain, why hasn't it been solved? It hasn't been solved because there's a complexity of it, but also because the focus, and that's what I'm hoping with this paper that it will help people to start focusing on some of these key elements. The solutions that we like to see some of them in which we're involved already. As father Joe's villages, but need additional attention. It will mean one of the things as an example is we need to meet people where these individuals are. A lot of the information that we've gathered within this white paper is as a result of our experience with those who are on the street, getting their input as to what their expectations are, what their needs are. A lot of times, we try to come up with solutions that are not in keeping with the needs and are not responsive to what people are suffering out there. So part of this is also meeting people where they are and answering their needs. Some people don't want to go into congregate settings and congregate shelters. So what else can we come up with? If that is not a congregate setting, but is able then to help them off the streets initially so that then we can start working with them. And a lot of the other issues that they may have, whether it be health related, where their behavioral health challenges that they may have, whether it's child rearing child care that's a play as well. There's so many aspects of this. Jim Vargas of father Joe saying inflation is forcing even more people into homelessness and they're calling for support for at risk seniors and more affordable housing options overall.

"The weekend NewsHour on Neil's radio 600 kogo. I'm Eddie McCann for kogo news. The friendly skies might not be, so friendly this weekend, as travel experts predict things are going to get a little messy at the airports with delays and yep, you guessed it, cancellations. Paul hartshorn with the association of professional flight attendants says the demand for flights rebounded quickly after the COVID-19 pandemic, and the airline industry just can't keep up. They were ramping up as quickly as they could after months of decline from the pandemic. And it's just turned out to be the perfect storm. An average of nearly 700 flights a day have been canceled over the past week, thanks to staffing shortages. Passengers are being asked to show up even earlier in order to make their flight. This week on San Diego's morning news, Ted Garcia and ladonna Harvey talked with aviation expert, Jay ratliff, about this busy travel time and how the airlines will or won't be able to handle it. Here's that interview. So what is going on? The airlines basically planning more flights than they can handle. They saw the busy summer travel season approach. We had airlines say okay, we're not going to operate a full schedule. We'll throttle back a bit. But when they created the schedules for the most part, not every airline, but most airlines, it was the best case scenario. The thought was, well, we'll do what we can as long as we have perfect weather. Nobody calls in sick and there's no technical issues. We might be able to pull this off. When you look at it the last two days American Airlines has canceled 419 flights, delta's canceled a 158 united a 134 southwest only 24. And one of the reasons Southwest has a low number, even though they've got a comparable number of flights, is they canceled 20,000 flights out of their summer travel schedule. They throttle back big time. Now last year, in June into July, southwest trade operators may flights as they could and their customers paid big time. This year, they said, we're not going to do it and so far the results are showing that they're doing what needs to be done. Okay, so now we've heard a story earlier and I'm going to ask you this because you've done this for a long time that people were offered in one case I believe was in Michigan $10,000 to give up a seat on a flight. Did that really happen? Oh yeah. Yeah. Keep in mind, I was in the industry for two and a half decades. I've been doing this for 31 years. And in the old days, we would give out cash. Here's the cash to volunteer to get off of an oversold flight oversold as a term we use when we have more people show up than we have seats for because we sold too many. Which happens pretty much on all flights. But when you don't get volunteers in your force to bump the last people that checked in, that's when it becomes problematic. So a lot of times you will offer incentive on top of incentives. And now it's easy because when you check in, it says, hey, the flight's oversold, would you be willing to give up your seat? Yes, how much would it cost to get you off? And you put in a number and if the flight's oversold, the agents call you up, say you still in agreement in the pushes off to the side dispatch the flight and deal with it. And it got to the point where the airlines said, look, we'll give 5, 6000 bucks or whatever it was $10,000 and that's what it got up to. It's not normal, not typical, but it certainly reflects what airlines have to do to get some people off of flights because keep in mind with the reduced number of flights that we have because Americans parked a hundred aircraft, southwest, the flights that I mentioned canceled, delta's canceled 7000 united canceled several. We have fewer flights and more people flying. Now, we're not a pre-pandemic numbers, but we're close. That means these flights are packed. So when you have a situation where you're averaging a 125 people a flight and you cancel 400 flights, you're talking about having 50,000 people that you now have to try to find accommodations for on other flights that are filled. Oh, and here comes another 125 flight cancellations. And it just kind of adds on top of itself. We've really caught a break this summer because we've not had any real bad prolonged weather that would absolutely just decimate travel for days and days and days. That's the good news. Now, the problem is we're coming up on another three day weekend and we've had two, three day weekend so far in the airlines have shot themselves in the foot. It gets the bad that the government of the transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg saying, look airlines, your own notice here, we're expecting better performance the July 4th weekend or we're going to maybe take some punitive measures against you and the airlines know they're under the gun this next three days, how they're going to fare. I mean, we're going to have to wait and see. That's our interview with aviation expert Jay ratliff about issues facing travelers and airlines over this busy holiday weekend. And I met him at COVID for kogo news. It's true the utilities are changing the solar game once again, and as you probably guessed, it's not for the better the consumer.

"Released that was critical of the sheriff's department over the number of inmate deaths in county jails On a Friday Bill gore was questioned about it by a.m. 7 60s and kogos Mark Larson Nobody cares more about the welfare of the inmates than we do We're not there to punish and punishment as we're moving that for society We're there to keep them safe and clean and try to add value to their lives so they can be productive members of our community But why have so many of them died under the numbers Because we put more through our jails than our comparable governor parts and Orange County riverside San Bernardino in a ten year period We put almost a million people through our jails and the closest one I think was San Bernardino and they put 650,000 So we keep going back and forth The UT doesn't like that methodology It's they use the average daily population That's neither We don't want anybody to die in our facilities One is too many And since I've been sure if we've increased the spending on medical and mental healthcare in our jails by 230% we're the ones that asked for the national commission on correctional healthcare to come in and audit us We're the one that asks for national experts on suicide prevention to come in and audit us to see how we can do better And we're in the process of implementing a lot of those recommendations A lot of them take money a lot of them take more we're trying to hire more nurses and mental health conditions right now We're going to hire 250 more people in the next year That's our challenge right now So a lot of the recommendations this audit committee made are already in the works Some when we disagree with what is it about the state audit that really if anything you thought was way out of line Wait a left field really ticked you off right before you start retirement today Bill Gordon Well I try to take the high road and be accurate You could say this Now you're tired One of the things that bothered me is our response We did a response to their recommendations And I've never seen this done And I ran audits for the FBI for three and a half years I've never seen an on a team redact the person being honest that's response They redacted some of our responses And didn't answer where we took exception to some of their findings They just said we disagree So I mean those little things They reviewed 30 dish in our jails and they said that some of the things we did might have contributed to I'm not saying that we're perfect we're always trying to improve our operations I think it could have been a more meaningful audit had they had expertise in the audit team They didn't have anybody on that on our team that had worked in jails Medical here in jails had been detentions officers But in fact that's a good point It's going to ask you if you thought there were political motivations in this beyond I thought they were looking at the numbers and slicing and dicing as you mentioned But nobody nobody with jail the actual law enforcement on that side of things experiencing what academics or what was the mix There was nobody with jail experience with either sworn or medical people that worked in jails on that on it Whether it's political not I'll leave that Well look who requested the audit look at the timing when it came out That's neither here or there We're constantly trying to improve the quality of healthcare and our jails And we have people are going every day trying to do that But we're doing our best You got to look at the some of the issues in the community We're working to look at suicides are up Look at all over the world Well the COVID stuff That's all over We saved 240 people in our jails from fentanyl overdoses in the last year And of course that's a big surge So in terms of 51 years law enforcement that's a long time and the united got to know each other back with you with the FBI So many things have changed I'm sure there are things that come to mind what it could have showed I like we would all do as human beings What's like one thing maybe it comes to mind if I say what's one thing over the course of the career you wish you had done differently based on maybe what you know now or what seemed like a good idea at the time I look back and I really haven't told regrets on my 51 years I look at my career and I think and I feel very positive I think I left both the country and the cities I've worked in better and the organizations I work for better than when I joined them and when I came to the cities I mean there's always issues along the way A public relations snap who or whatever the case may be that brings down on here organization or you in particular that comes with a job That comes with being boss of a large organization I understand that And I accept that responsibility But I leave with a clear conscience and a sense of satisfaction knowing that public safety and San Diego county is better than when I took over a share Former Senegal

"Cox the weekend use our continues, people are news radio 600 kogo. Marilyn Haider. The annual beach report card is out from Heal the bay in San Diego County did well for the most part, loop Ginger's repeal the bay. Our most recent report found there were a couple San Diego counting beaches that were among the most polluted last summer. Those are two beaches located near the two on the river mouth. One is right at the river mouth and then another one less than a mile north of there. There were some of the most polluted with fecal pollution, which is no surprise because the Tijuana River drains out. In the south part of the county and carried with it. Sewage pollution from the watershed and the city of Tijuana. Those were the two what we call beach bummers. But we also have what's called the honourable where we highlight beaches that had some of the best water quality year round and three San Diego beaches ended up on our honor roll. Two of them are in the Carlsbad area and the other one in Solana Beach. Let's start with Tijuana that has been obviously an issue for years. What kind of concentration of the matter that you're finding? What is this Presenting to people in terms of health risk? Sewage pollution carries with it a lot of harmful Human pathogens, so that could be harmful bacteria that could be antibiotic resistant bacteria. It can be harmful viruses. It can only take one exposure and you'll get sick within about 38 of being exposed. And depending on your age and your immune system, your symptoms can be mild, or it could be more serious flu like symptoms. There have been studies on how many people exactly that and it tens of thousands every year. In Southern California, and that comes with health care costs in the millions, tens of millions and across the whole country. Approximately 90 million people get a waterborne illness, resulting in about $3 billion in health care costs. It's a big problem, and it's likely under reported because the symptoms are so similar to other things like flu or cold, and because symptoms don't set in until a few days after you've gone swimming, the numbers are likely higher is heal the bay in on conversations with the federal government at all about what is trying to be done. Between the U. S and Mexico to fix the issue. No, we have not been contacted by the U. S. Federal government or the government agencies in Mexico, either. The U. S E p A is leading that effort at the moment they've secured. I think last year about $300 million to put towards water quality improvement project from the Tijuana River. They have a Web page up where they have identified those projects and only two of the 10 on that weapon. Age addressed actual sources. So we would like to see that number a little higher. We would like to see more original sources being addressed. So in terms of the good news in San Diego County had to and Carlsbad in Solana Beach. Why are those so pristine or so much better than Pacific Beach or La Hoya. Yeah, great question. So those North County beaches tend to have left development throughout the watershed, so less housing and commercial development in the surrounding areas, You know, I know, immediately at the coast. There is quite a bit of development. But it's not like the San Diego area or from a Hoya area where you have a lot more development. That's why those North County beaches tend to get better grades and also, you have to take into account the Tijuana River. That can impact beaches from the border all the way up to Coronado Sometimes is there anything over there by La Hoya Cove or the Children's pool to show anything from seals and birds? And that's a big issue, too. I can't speak on that. But there are, uh, studies that can be done. You can look at the DNA that's present in the water and see if some of the fecal matter is originating from birds or animals, Other animals and when we're talking about birds, in particular heard fecal matter has been shown to pose a health risk to humans. And when we're talking about human sources, birds could be considered a human source because you have to ask yourself Would these big flocks of birds be here? If the warrant garbage cans or there wasn't a big pier or weren't restaurants? So I think a little more creatively when we're talking about what a human source of Spiegel pollution And then how do we look elsewhere in terms of Ocean Beach? Mission Beach Specific beach by and large and you go county beaches were really good. There were some mission be Beaches that had been seized during the summer. You know, those aren't those aren't great that we'd like to see the problem with Mission Bay is it's kind of an enclosed areas, so some of the pollution can get trapped in there, But most of those beaches got A's Luke Ginger with heal the bay.

"600 Kogo. I'm look Donna Harvey. The pandemic saw a huge number of Americans hit the unemployment lines. His business is closed temporarily and sometimes forever, But we're seeing more and more states reopened and the help wanted signs air coming out. Hiring specialist David Kathy is a partner with Unity search Group, one of the top recruiting companies in the country. The big question, Why are companies finding it difficult to find people to actually work? Get to the top three reasons that we have found and there's actually been some national polls and it kind of comes down to these three reasons, which is number one. Yes, we've got the vaccination and the rollout, but there's still a fear. Of the Corona virus and people getting out face to face. So for all those people have that have those jobs in the hospitality, tourism restaurants, bars manufacturing facilities. There's still a fear of that. The other two reasons our child care. How am I gonna find someone to watch my kiddo? You know, because schools haven't necessarily aligned with The ease of restrictions in certain states and in the third one has been the enhanced benefits we've received from the government, particularly the federal government. In the addition of the $300 of federal unemployment, So let's talk about that If someone is unemployed, and they are making Maurin unemployment than they do on the job, or it's even close enough for them to go yet. It's not worth it to go to work. So why would they go to work? That's the great debate here, you know. I mean, you've got 50% just roughly 50% of the state's almost half the states in the union here have decided and these air are Republican led states have decided they were done with this federal unemployment, extra $300, and we're ending that at the end of June, and what we've seen from that has been in measured on indeed. Uh, they're clicks for people who live in those states. They have actually clicked on jobs toe look at applying for them that has increased in those states in particular. Once that announcement has made so You know it is it Is it going to be a huge issue? It is a huge issue. Let's talk about child care as well. I mean, can anything be done about the childcare situation? Well, you know, it's funny. We've seen some employment office, some businesses. Hey, hey, look, we're going to offer you some child care or we're gonna help you find a place and we're actually gonna have an agreement with a child care facility. That's gonna subsidize your payments of child care The cost of that child care. So we're seeing business owners become a little bit more creative. But here's the thing Now that we're in the summer months. Well, we could see a continued issue if some of these facilities do not open up, and that's largely impacting women in the workforce. We have seen a huge issue with women in the workforce just removing themselves do to this. All right. Let's talk about what an employer conduce perhaps to help lure workers in or at least get people in for those interviews, considering all of the negatives that people are dealing with, Yeah, we've seen we've seen a number of different things that employers are trying to do from signing bonuses to stay bonuses. And really, what we're seeing employers try to make the shift for is people who have been coming in to work. You've got to retain that talent and so for a lot of these jobs Historically, they haven't seen a career path. It's just been a job, not a career, and you're starting to see these business owners try to show and demonstrate to these employees. There is a career path. Here's how you can get to management. Here's the path and here is the timeline, which I think is Critically important outside of attracting other people are tuition reimbursements and increase in health benefits, increasing wages. Let's talk about the increase in wages because you know for a lot of people, especially when you're talking about hospitality industry. We have a lot of that here in San Diego are restaurants, bars, hotels, etcetera gonna have to raise those salaries they're having, too, And a lot of that is driven based on Eight people staying at home and saying, Hey, it's not worth it like we talked about and be some of these larger employers, and it's the smaller employers want to compete with some of these larger places, so You've got places like triple like who had said, Hey, we want to hire 20,000 employees and work, increasing our minimum wage by over $2 per hour to a new standard, And if I want to compete for those employees, it's the same job. We're still interfacing with customers. If I want to compete with the Tripoli's of the world, you've already increased it. I'm gonna have to do the same and Kind of the issue can be that this is going to be passed on the consumer because you know now the cost has increased. That's David Kathy, a partner with Unity search Group, one of the top recruiting companies in the country. I'm let Donna Harvey Good news, the CDC says. If we can take off our masks.
