>>> GOOD EVENING PRAYER THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI .

SAN DIEGO'S ROAD REPAIR BUDGET IS VASTLY UNDERFUNDED FOR LAST WEEK, PUBLIC MATTERS LOOKED INTO WHY THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FIX ALL OF THE ROADS.

TODAY, HE JOINS US TO SHARE AN UPDATE ON WHAT THE CITY IS DOING WITH THE BUDGET THEY DO HAVE.

THANKS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> WHAT'S THE CITIES WITH THE ROAD REPAIR BUDGET PRETTY >> THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAINTAIN HUGE NETWORK OF ROADS WE HAVE IN THE SHORT- TERM, WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE DOWN THE LINE.

>> WHY IS THAT?

THERE IS A FUNDING GAP.

WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?

>> IT COMES FROM SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE GAS, TAXES, STATE FUNDS.

THE LEVEL OF FUNDING FROM SOURCES HASN'T KEPT UP WITH THE NEED TO COVER OUR ROAD NETWORK.

>> BUT, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING NOW?

IT SEEMS THERE WAS MONEY FOR REPAIRS IN THE PAST.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

THE ROADS ARE GETTING OLDER.

THE LONGER YOU DIFFER MAINTENANCE ON ROADS, THE MORE IT COSTS TO FIX WHEN YOU GET AROUND TO IT.

WE ARE REACHING A BREAKING POINT FOR THE CITY ON THE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS AND SPRAWLING NATURE OF LOT OF THE LOW-DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS MEANS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TAX MONEY COMING IN PER MILE OF ROAD.

HERE IS WHAT BILL FULTON, FORMER CITY PLANNING DIRECTOR TOLD ME.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE A SPRAWLING CITY, THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF TAX REVENUE COMING IN AND MONEY THAT HAS TO GO OUT THE DOOR FOR SERVICES.

>> JAKE, WHAT IS THE CITIES -- CITY'S APPROACH TO WHAT'S HAPPENING?

>> A RECORD NUMBER OF ROAD REPAIRS DONE BY THE IN-HOUSE TEAM.

ONE THING THE CITY FOUND IS THEY CAN SAVE MONEY AND DO MORE MILES OF ROAD FOR LESS WITH AN IN-HOUSE TEAM, WHICH IS FOCUSED ON THE WORST ROADS IN THE CITY THAT NEED A COMPLETE REDO.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, KPBS AND OUR PARTNER AT NEWS SOURCE LOOKED INTO THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN AND FOUND IT WAS INEQUITABLE IN WHERE THE ROADS ARE BEING PRIORITIZED FOR MAINTENANCE.

ONE ASPECT IS TO BALANCE SUPEREXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON TERRIBLE QUALITY ROADS WITH CHEAPER FIXES ON ROADS THAT AREN'T AS BAD TO BE COST- EFFECTIVE.

WHAT WE FOUND IS A LOT OF THE WORST ROADS IN THE CITY ARE LOWER INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERFUNDED AND UNDERSERVED FOR DECADES.

THE CITY'S PLAN TAKES IT INTO ACCOUNT AND THEY HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY IN DISTRICT 4 TO CELEBRATE A RECORD 30 MILE LANES COMPLETED BY THE IN-HOUSE TEAM.

HERE IS WHAT THE MAYOR SAID AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY.

>> IT'S HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, BUT A SPECIAL EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE IN OUR HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES LIKE COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 TO MAKE SURE THE OVERDUE INVESTMENTS ARE FINALLY COMING TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> A JAKE, THE CITY SAID THAT THE 30 LANE MILES WERE A RECORD, BUT PUT IT INTO CONTEXT.

IS THAT A LARGE SHARE OF CITY ROADWAYS?

>> OVERALL, NO.

MORE THAN 6600 MILES OF ROADWAY LANES AND THE SECOND LARGEST CITY ROAD NETWORK IN THE STATE BEHIND LOS ANGELES, BUT THERE ARE 30 MILES OF SOME OF THE WORST ROADS IN THE CITY GETTING COMPLETELY REPAIRED.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

THOSE AREN'T THE ONLY MILES REPAIRED.

THERE IS OTHER MAINTENANCE LIKE SLURRY AND LESS EXPENSE REPAIRS BEING DONE ACROSS THE CITY.

>> WHAT CAN BE DONE LONG-TERM?

>> LONG-TERM, THEY WILL NEED MORE REVENUE OR FEWER CARS ON THE ROADS OR BOTH.

THE PATH THE CITY IS ON FOR ROADS FOR TRANSIT AND A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE A BALLOT MEASURE OR TWO IN 2028 THAT WOULD TRY TO ADDRESS SOME SERIOUS FUNDING PROBLEMS.

>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND REPORTING.

>> ANYTIME.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>>> TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO THE MID-60s ONCE AGAIN.

THE MAIN CHANGES WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK HAVE TO DO WITH TEMPERATURES AND IT'S KIND OF A REPEAT OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING IN RECENT WEEKS.

>> THOUGH I THINK YOU'LL LIKE THE UPDATE I HAVE FOR YOU ON THAT.

I WILL BREAK IT DOWN COMING UP.

>>> LINKS CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS THE 10th MOST ECONOMICALLY SEGREGATED IN THE COUNTRY.

KPBS REPORTER KATIE HAS MORE ON WHY THAT MATTERS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE.

>> Reporter: SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA ARE MORE DIVIDED BETWEEN RICH AND POOR THAN 40 OTHER STATES IN THE COUNTRY.

THAT DIVIDE IS WORSE THAN IT WAS THREE DECADES AGO NATIONALLY.

>> POVERTY IN SCHOOLS IS A UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL HARM.

THE PROJECT CO-AUTHORED THE STUDY.

OWENS IS THEIR POLICY DIRECTOR AND FORMER TEACHER.

>> IF YOU HAVE ONE CHILD IN WERE 25 YEARS OF TEACHING THAT'S HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WHO HAS A LOT OF NEEDS AND ARE BEING UNMET AT HOME, THAT CAN BE TREATED AS, HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THIS HUMAN?

IF 20 OF YOUR 25 KIDS ARE JUST REGULATED OR HAVING NEEDS UNMET.

>> Reporter: ECONOMIC SEGREGATION LEADS TO TEACHER TURNOVER AND BURNOUT AND WORSE OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS.

>> IT'S HARD TO LEARN IF SOME OF YOUR CLASSMATES ARE DEALING WITH UNMET NEEDS.

>> Reporter: ONE OF THE MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD SOLUTIONS IS TO REDRAW DISTRICT LINES OR SHARE ACROSS.

>> THERE WERE NOT HANDED DOWN.

YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM ORMAN IS A POLITY SYSTEM.

THEY WERE LINES DRAWN AT ONE POINT AND CAN BE REDRAWN OR CAN HAVE THEIR IMPACT LESSON IN CHILDREN'S LIVES.

>> Reporter: KATIE HYSON, KPBS NEWS.

>> I'M NICK.

>>> RECENT FEDERAL DATA SHOWS HIRING AS PICKING UP INDUSTRIES INCLUDING HEALTHCARE AND SKILLED TRADES, BUT EVEN WITH THOSE COME A LONG TERM UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT A 4.5 YEAR HIGH.

SOME POSITIONS ARE STILL HARD TO FILL.

HERE IS MICHAEL WITH MORE ON THE DISTRICT -- DISCONNECT BETWEEN HIRING MANAGERS AND JOBSEEKERS.

>> Reporter: JOB MARKET MISMATCH OR SOME ARE HIRING, BUT MANY OTHER WORKERS ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY, SO WE SPOKE WITH AN EXPERT ABOUT HOW JOBSEEKERS CAN ADJUST FROM WHERE EMPLOYERS ARE SEEING THE GREATEST NEED.

AS HIRING IN THE U.S.

APPEARS TO BE PICKING UP, EMPLOYERS ARE STRUGGLING TO FILL OPEN POSITIONS.

>> THERE'S A DISCONNECT GOING ON.

>> Reporter: NEW DATA FROM THE COMPANY SHOWS THE TOP 10 EMPLOYERS INCLUDE RIGHT NOW HALF EARN HEALTHCARE AND NEARLY ALL OF THE REST IN SKILLED TRADES.

>> WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF JOBS THAT JOBSEEKERS ARE LOOKING FOR DON'T MATCH UP WITH JOBS THAT EMPLOYERS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME RECRUITING FOR.

>> Reporter: A MISMATCH.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DEALBREAKER.

HER ADVICE FOR RECENT OR UPCOMING GRADUATES STAY FLEXIBLE.

ESPECIALLY IN A WORLD SHAPED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WHERE HUMAN-BASED SKILLS LIKE CRITICAL THINKING, MUNICATION AND ADAPTABILITY ARE COMING -- BECOMING MORE VALUABLE.

>> THEY ARE JUST LEARNED FROM THE PERFECT JOB, BUT THEY CAN BE LEARNED FROM INTERNSHIPS, RETAIL POSITIONS AND IT WILL CREATE THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED TO GET INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAREERS MOVING FORWARD.

>> Reporter: MANY IN DEMAND JOBS SKILLED TRADES DON'T REQUIRE A FOUR YEAR DEGREE.

FOR PEOPLE CONSIDERING A CAREER SWITCH OR OUT OF WORK, PIVOTING INTO AN IN DEMAND FIELD MAY BE MORE ACHIEVABLE.

>> IN MANY CASES, YOU CAN GET CERTIFICATIONS WITHIN 6 TO 18 MONTHS.

HONE IN ON THE CERTIFICATION YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN ORDER TO BE EMPLOYED IN THIS ROLE AND GO IN THE DIRECTION AND COMBINE IT WITH TRANSFERABLE SKILLS TO GET INTO THESE STABLE PROFESSIONS.

>> Reporter: WITH A GROWING NUMBER OF RETIREMENT AND AGING WORKFORCE IN BOTH MEDICAL CARE, AS WELL AS SKILLED TRADES, THOSE INDUSTRIES ARE LIKELY TO SEE HIGH DEMAND AND STABILITY EVEN AS AI IMPACTS THE BROADER JOB MARKET.

ONE WAY TO THINK ABOUT THIS AI, IT CAN'T FIX A GARBAGE DISPOSAL, BUT A PLUMBER CAN.

THOSE HUMAN TRAITS AND SKILLS SHE SAYS WILL BE IN DEMAND FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

IN WASHINGTON, MICHAEL.

>>> SUMMER IS UPON US AND THAT USUALLY MEANS KIDS PLAYING OUTSIDE OR IN SUMMER SPORTS LEAGUES LIKE SOFTBALL OR SOCCER, BUT THE COST OF SPORTS ARE INCREASINGLY OUT OF REACH FOR MANY FAMILIES.

THIS WEEK IN OUR PRESENT SAN DIEGO PROJECT KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER LOOKS AT HOW SOME COACHES ARE TRYING TO HELP.

>> Reporter: RIGHT NOW, THE BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT IS HAPPENING THE WORLD CUP AND MILLIONS OF KIDS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE WATCHING AND SOME ARE HOPING THAT ONE DAY THEY TOO WILL BE PLAYING IN FRONT OF MILLIONS, BUT THAT DREAM IS OUT OF REACH FOR A LOT OF KIDS NOT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TALENT, BUT COST.

>> FEES ARE $600 BETWEEN FIVE TO $600 AT THE BEGINNING.

>> Reporter: A RECENT STUDY SHOWS THAT FAMILY SPENDING ON YOUTH SPORTS HAS INCREASED BY 46% SINCE 2019, MAKING IT OUT OF REACH FOR MANY LOW INCOME FAMILIES.

TOM IS A COACH AT CITY HEIGHTS YOUTH SOCCER AND SAYS ON TOP OF THE UNIFORM COSTS, THERE ARE TRAVEL COSTS.

>> YOU ARE LOOKING BETWEEN $1500-$3000 PER PLAYER.

>> Reporter: THAT'S JUST FOR A TEAM FOR COMPETITIVE LEAGUES WHERE THE COSTS JUMP ASTRONOMICALLY.

>> IT COULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS OR TENS OF THOUSANDS.

>> Reporter: IT CREATES A BARRIER FOR ENTRY FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES.

2021 SURVEY BY THE SPORTS AND FITNESS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION SHOWS FAMILIES MAKING 25,000 OR LESS A YEAR ONLY 24% OF KIDS, 6 TO 12 PARTICIPATE IN ORGANIZED SPORTS COMPARED TO 40% FOR FAMILIES MAKING $100,000 OR MORE.

THAT IS WHY WAVES THE FEES FOR HIS CLUB TEAM ALLOWING KIDS TO PARTICIPATE FREE OF CHARGE.

HE IS ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF SPONSORSHIPS AND VOLUNTEER COACHES.

>> IF THERE ARE KIDS WHO COME OUT AND WANT TO PLAY, WE WILL TRAIN THEM AND TEACH THEM.

>> Reporter: THE HIGH COST OF TEAM SPORTS ARE WHY THEY FOUNDED THE NONPROFIT SAN MARCO'S BASKETBALL IN 2020 AND IT'S A CLUB TEAM WERE CHILDREN CAN PARTICIPATE FOR FREE OR SMALL FEE.

>> I GREW UP IN A PROGRAM THAT HAS HELPED ME AND SPORTS WAS PART OF WHO I AM TODAY.

>> Reporter: WHILE SOME COSTS COULD BE OFFSET BY PLAYING ON SCHOOL TEAMS, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH IF KIDS WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

B ADVERSITY, COLLEGIATE SPORTS OR PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES.

>> YOU NEED TO PLAY 3 TO 4 HOURS A DAY AND YOUR SUPPORT, WHETHER IT'S BASKETBALL, BASEBALL OR ANY OTHER SPORT, YOU NEED TO PLAY AT THAT LEVEL IN ORDER TO BE COMPETITIVE.

>> Reporter: A PRODUCT OF THE PROGRAM WHO NOW PLAYS SEMI- PROFESSIONALLY AND ALSO COACHES FOR THE PROGRAM.

HE SAYS PLAYING IN CLUB TEAMS GOT HIM TO WHERE HE IS NOW.

>> BIGGER THAN HIGH SCHOOL OR SCHOOL BASKETBALL, BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF FREEDOM YOU DON'T GET IN THOSE STRUCTURES AND THAT'S WHERE YOU BECOME YOURSELF, BECAUSE BASKETBALL IS A CONFIDENCE FOR.

YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AND CONFIDENT AS YOU ARE.

MY CLUB SPORTS ARE A WAY TO HELP CHILDREN BE MORE ACTIVE, BUT COSTS CAN SOMETIMES GET IN THE WAY.

>> WHEN I WAS A CHILD, SPORTS WERE CONSIDERED A NECESSITY AND NOW IT'S A LUXURY.

>> Reporter: PARTICIPATING ON CLUB TEAMS AT LOCAL RECREATION CENTERS WHERE COSTS ARE LOWER ARE STILL EXPENSIVE.

>> WE HAVE TO PAY THE ASSOCIATION FEES, SO THERE'S COSTS THAT GO INTO IT THAT KIND OF MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT COST FOR FOLKS TO SIGN KIDS UP FOR SPORTS.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO AMERICAN ORTHOPEDIC SOCIETY FOR SPORTS MEDICINE STUDY, GETTING KIDS INVOLVED IN SPORTS EARLY HELPS WITH MOTOR SKILLS, SOCIAL DEVELOPING AND LIFELONG HEALTHY HABITS.

THE SAME STUDY SHOWS THAT INCOME IS THE BIGGEST DRIVER FOR EARLY PARTICIPATION LIMITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW INCOME CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS.

FOR NOW, PROGRAMS ARE GIVING LOW INCOME KIDS IN A PICKUP IN THE SPORTS WORLD.

NASCAR OFFICIALS DEEMED THE MUCH-HYPED RACE AT THE BASE A SUCCESS AFTER SUNDAY'S MAIN EVENT.

NASCAR CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER BEN KENNEDY WAS ALREADY TALKING ABOUT COMING BACK.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL EVENT AND WE WOULD LOVE TO RETURN AND WE ARE ALSO COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN ACTIVE MILITARY BASE AND WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT, AS WELL.

>> Reporter: AS PREDICTED TRAFFIC ON THE SAN DIEGO BRIDGE BACKED UP FOR MILES HEADING TO AND FROM THE BASE WITH THE LONG LINES AT THE VERY JOB RELATED THE BRIDGE.

NASCAR IS REPORTEDLY LOOKING TO RETURN NEXT YEAR AND NASCAR IS TALKING THINGS OVER WITH THE NAVY.

NOTHING TO REPORT TODAY.

A LOT MORE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE AFTER THIS WEEKEND.

>> Reporter: FRIDAY AND SATURDAY'S RACES WERE INTERRUPTED FREQUENTLY.

THE CONCRETE TARMAC THAT SERVES AS PART OF THE TRACK SHOOT THROUGH TIRES AND DRIVER STRUGGLED TO KEEP CARS FROM SLIDING IN THE WALLS.

ANOTHER CRASH INVOLVING FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD PLACE CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION.

IF YOU WANT A TASTE OF THE TRUCK FOR YOURSELF, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG.

RACING STUDIOS USED THE EVENT TO UNVEIL ITS COVER FOR THE UPCOMING NASCAR 26 VIDEO GAME.

THE COMPANY SAYS THAT THE NORTH VIOLENT CIRCUIT IS IN THERE.

WE WILL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET.

70 IN SPRINGS AND 50s IN RAMONA, THEN ALONG THE COAST, LOW TO MID 60s AND 64 FOR SAN DIEGO.

TOMORROW, MOST OF US CONTINUE WITH THE STATUS QUO.

AS WE GET TOWARDS THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS, WE CAN SEE A STRAY OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS.

KIND OF GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT'S MORE OF AN ALL DAY THING AND YOU MIGHT THINK MORE THAN JUST LOOKING AT THE ICONS HERE, SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURE RADAR AND GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA.

WE GO THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY AND NOTHING.

NOT UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AND IT IS SPOTTY HERE OR THERE AND IT'S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DRY LIGHTNING.

WE HAVE ELEVATED FIRE RISK THROUGH THE WEEK THROUGH THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE INLAND REGIONS OR MOUNTAIN REGIONS ON THROUGH THE REST, SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE IS A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THAT MIGHT INTERRUPT EVENING PLANS OVERALL, BUT IT WILL NOT BE ANYTHING MAJOR.

TAKING A LOOK AT THE FIVE DAY OUTLOOK.

WE ARE STAYING CONSISTENT ALONG THE COAST.

74 AND 75 WITH THE LOW 62 AND 63 INTO 64 ONCE AGAIN BY SATURDAY.

FURTHER INLAND, 80s, LOW 80s AND BACK DOWN TO THE UPPER 70s BY THE TIME WE GET TO SATURDAY, SO IT'S WITHIN A FEW DEGREES AND THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING IT'S NOT WHILE TEMPERATURE SWINGS, BUT A FEW VARIATIONS HERE AND THERE.

MOUNTAIN REGIONS, IF YOU THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S AN ALL DAY MAJOR IMPACT.

IT'S JUST A SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HERE OR THERE AND WE DO COOL DOWN THURSDAY GOING FROM 74 TO 71 AND STAYING IN THE LOW 70s OVERALL.

YOU COULD SEE SHOWERS AND VERY SCATTERED.

FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK, BUT THE COOLDOWN HITS AND YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.

96 FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

MAYBE SATURDAY IS YOUR DAY TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE LESS HOT WEATHER.
