>>> THE SON HAS RETURNED, BUT THE REGION IS CONTINUING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF TROPICAL STORM HILLARY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

WHILE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DID NOT SEE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS LIKE IN SOME PARTS OF THE STATE EVEN A LITTLE RAIN CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS IN OUR BORDER REGION.

OUR ENVIRONMENT REPORTER HAS A LOOK AT THE AFTERMATH.

>>> HURRICANE HILARY MIGHT BE GONE, BUT THE STORM DID LEAVE BEHIND A MESS AT THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY AN ESTIMATED 2 BILLION GALLONS OF CONTAMINATED FLOWS CAME INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM MEXICO DURING AND AFTER THE STORM.

CONTAMINATED WATER CONTINUES TO FLOW IN THE TIJUANA RIVER CHANNEL IN THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT NEAR THE BORDER WAS OVERWHELMED.

>> THAT BROUGHT A LOT OF EXTRA WASTEWATER AS WELL AS TRASH.

IT DID CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THE PUMPS.

THERE WAS A POINT WHERE IT WAS TOO MUCH FLOW WITH THE TANKS TO RESOURCE SOME FLOW.

THE WRITTEN CLOSE TO OVERFLOWING AND WE ACTUALLY BYPASSED OUR SECONDARY TREATMENT FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS.

SKI:STATE WATER QUALITY OFFICIALS WILL LIKELY ISSUE CLEAN WATER ACT VIOLATIONS, BUT OFFICIALS HAVE LIMITED AUTHORITY.

THEY CANNOT ISSUE FINES FOR THOSE VIOLATIONS OF DISCHARGE PERMITS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE CROSS-BORDER FLOWS COMING THROUGH THE TIJUANA RIVER CHANNEL 50 $630 MILLION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE SEWAGE ISSUE IS STILL YEARS AWAY AND THAT IS FRUSTRATING LOCAL OFFICIALS.

>> WE HAVE TO GET THAT OUT OF THE RIVER INTO BENEFICIAL REUSE , BUT SAFELY IN A COMPLIANT WAY.

>> IN THE MEANTIME IN THE OCEAN CONTINUES TO BE UNSAFE FOR SWIMMING IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

>>> THIS IS THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER WHERE THAT CONTAMINATION HITS THE OCEAN.

THIS SPEECH HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR HUMAN CONTACT FOR OVER 620 DAYS, AND THAT SITUATION IS NOT EXPECTED TO GET ANY BETTER SOON.

>>> CALIFORNIA'S $310 BILLION STATE BUDGET IS NOW BEING ALLOCATED, AND SAN DIEGO IS BENEFITING TO THE TUNE OF NEARLY $25 MILLION.

SOME OF THOSE FUNDS WILL BENEFIT.

SPENDING MORE THAN 7 MILLION FROM THE STATE WILL BE SPENT LARGELY ON INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS INSIDE TO FAMILIAR PLACES.

>> WE ARE SO EXCITED AND GRATEFUL.

>> THAT IS THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADVANCEMENT AT THE FLEET SCIENCE CENTER.

THEY ARE GETTING THE BIGGEST PIECE OF THE PIE AND WILL USE IT TO TRANSFORM A COUPLE OF SPACES INCLUDING MOVING THE MUSEUM ENTRANCE BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION NEAR THE THEATER.

>> THIS GALLERY CAN BE A SPACE THAT IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC IN FRONT OF A PAY WALL.

>> SAYING THAT SPACE WILL BE FREE AND FILLED WITH EXHIBITS SHOWCASING THE SCIENCE BEING DONE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE CURRENT ENTRANCE WILL BE TRANSFORMED MAKING USE OF IS 32 FOOT HIGH CEILING.

>> WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO IS MAKE THAT INTO A GALLERY SPACE WHERE WE CAN DO THIS ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE SPACE RATHER THAN JUST USING THE BOTTOM HALF.

>> THAT THE SPACE IN THE BASEMENT THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED IN 20 YEARS WILL BECOME HOME TO AN EXHIBIT CALLED THE SCIENCE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE.

THE MASTER MAGICIAN IS DESIGNING A.

>> AND VISIBILITY.

MIND CONTROL.

THESE KINDS OF CONCEPTS ARE HOW IT CAN APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING AND HOW THEY ARE MAKING THAT REAL.

>> ACROSS THE WAY FROM THE FLEET, THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM IS GETTING THE SECOND BIGGEST CHUNK OF FUNDING.

1.3 MILLION.

>> WE ARE REALLY EXCITED AND GRATEFUL TO GET THIS MONEY.

>> THIS DETROL MINISTRY PRESIDENT AND CEO SAYS THE MUSEUM WILL USE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS AND UPGRADES.

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT REPLACING OUR ROOF.

WE HAVE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS THAT NEED WORK AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT WILL ALL PROVIDE ENERGY SAVINGS.

SPENT THE REST OF THE MONEY WILL BE SPLIT AMONG A WIDE ARRAY OF PROJECTS EVERYTHING FROM FUNDING THE DESIGN OF THE NEW LAKE HODGES DAM TO THE CREATION OF A REGIONAL GUN VIOLENCE RESPONSE TASK FORCE AND MONEY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GRANT PARK RIVER CENTER IN MISSION VALLEY, BUT BACK HERE.

>> FINALLY COME HALF $1 MILLION WILL GO TO KEEPING THE MUSIC PLAY.

I AM SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY OF THE FABULOUS ORGAN.

$500,000 WILL BE USED TO RE- LEATHER THE ORGAN, WHICH BASICALLY MEANS TO RE-FURNISH IT.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

STRIKES AND DIGGINS COULD BE PAYING MORE FOR WATER BY THE END OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON THIS YEAR.

THE CITY IS CONSIDERING A MORE THAN 10% RATE INCREASE TO TAKE EFFECT ON DECEMBER 1.

THE RATE HIKE OF 8.7% WOULD TAKE EFFECT ON JANUARY 2025.

THE ORDINANCE WOULD ALSO PASS ALONG ANY FUTURE RATE INCREASES IMPOSED BY THE COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY.

THE CITY SAYS REASONS FOR THE RATE HIKE INCLUDE THE RISING PRICE OF PURCHASING WATER AND REPLACING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

CUSTOMERS CAN MAIL IN THEIR COMMENTS OR ATTEND A HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 19 BEFORE IT GOES TO A VOTE.

>>> THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE IS CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD BAN STYROFOAM AND SINGLE- USE PLASTIC PRODUCTS.

STYROFOAM WOULD BE BANNED BY JULY 2024 AND PLASTIC BAGS BY JANUARY 2025.

BUSINESSES COULD STILL PROVIDE THEM TO CUSTOMERS FOR $.10, BUT TOO MANY BUSINESSES THE BAND WON'T CHANGE MUCH.

>> AS MUCH AS YOU DO THE RESEARCH FOR THE SAME PRICE WE CAN GET MATERIALS THAT ARE RECYCLABLE ALREADY.

THERE ARE COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT AS MARKETED WELL.

>> THE FOUNDATIONS AS VOLUNTEERS HAVE PICKED UP 25,000 PIECES OF FOAM THIS UPB ORDINANCE WILL BE INTRODUCED AND COULD PASS TONIGHT.

SHE WORKS AS A GROCERY CASHIER IN HUNTINGTON PARK NEAR LA AND SAYS SHE WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH OSTEOPOROSIS AND HAS NO SICK LEAVE LEFT TO ATTEND HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS.

>> THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE IT TO US.

IT'S GOING TO BE OUR POLITICIANS THAT RECOGNIZE WORKERS AS THE STRONGHOLD OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> EMPLOYER GROUPS OPPOSING SAY MANY BUSINESSES CANNOT AFFORD THE CHANGE AND WOULD PASS THE COST ONTO CUSTOMERS OR CUT JOBS, WAGES, OR OTHER BENEFITS.

SUPPORTERS INCLUDING THIS DOCTORS SAY IT IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

THE INFECTIOUS PERIOD FOR DISEASES IS OFTEN 5-10 DAYS.

>> WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES IF WE WANT SOMEONE WITH A BAD COUGH WHETHER IT IS FROM COVID OR THE FLU OR RSV TO BE WORKING IN YOUR CHILDCARE CENTER?

THE CLASSROOM OF YOUR CHILDREN OR FACTORIES OR NURSING HOMES?

>> SIMILAR ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND PAID SICK LEAVE IN RECENT YEARS HAVE STALLED.

ONLY THREE WEEKS REMAIN FOR THE SENATE TO PASS THIS BILL.>>> FEMA'S ADMINISTRATOR SAYS THE AGENCY'S DISASTER FUND IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY.

THIS IS SENATOR LEADER MITCH McCONNELL HAS INDICATED HE EXPECTS CONGRESS WILL APPROVE MORE FUNDING FOR FEMA.

>>> BEFORE THERE WAS ME TOO THERE WAS THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL.

WE LOOK BACK AT THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE THEN SAN DIEGO MAYOR AND THE FALL SINCE HE AGREED TO RESIGN 10 YEARS AGO TODAY.

>> FAMED WOMEN'S RIGHTS LAWYER REPRESENTED JACKSON AND SETTLED THE FORMER STAFFER SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY FOR $250,000 ON AUGUST 23 2013.

>> NOT ONE ALLEGATION.

>> MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

I HAVE NEVER SEXUALLY HARASSED ANYONE.

>> YET IN OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR HE PLEADED GUILTY TO FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND BATTERY CHARGES INVOLVING THREE WOMEN.

HE WAS SENTENCED TO THREE MONTHS HOME CONFINEMENT AND THREE YEARS PROBATION.

NOW 10 YEARS LATER THE SAGA CAN BE SEEN AS A PRECURSOR TO A MUCH LARGER RECKONING.

THE 20 17th ME TOO MOVEMENT CHANGED THE INTERNATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

SUDDENLY POWERFUL MEN WERE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND EMPLOYERS RUSHED TO BEEF UP MANDATORY REPLACE TRAINING, BUT WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED?

JUST THIS YEAR SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISOR FLETCHER, A DEMOCRAT, RESIGNED AFTER A SAN DIEGO METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AGENCY STAFFER ACCUSED HIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.

NATIONALLY THEY SAY SEXUAL HARASSMENT REMAINS RAMPANT.

THIS YEAR ANY FEDERAL LAW TOOK EFFECT THAT EXEMPTED SEXUAL- HARASSMENT FROM NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS PEOPLE SIGNED WHEN THEY START A JOB.

>> MANY WOMEN ARE NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS ANYMORE.

THERE GOING TO FIGHT BACK.

>> SHE COFOUNDED THE NEW YORK- BASED NONPROFIT THAT ADVOCATES FOR SAFE WORKPLACES AND SAYS THE SCANDAL WAS TRANSFORMATIVE AND TRANSCENDING THEIR OWN HUMILIATION AND UNITING FOR SUPPORT IN DECLARING ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

>> THEY REALLY SHOWED THE COUNTRY WELL BEFORE THE MEAT TOO MOVEMENT KICKED OFF THAT THIS WAS POSSIBLE.

>> SAYING ANOTHER WATERSHED MOMENT WAS WHEN THE POLITICAL ALLY FORMER COUNCILWOMAN SAID THIS.

>> WE WANT THE WOMAN OF THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM TO KNOW THAT SEXUAL ABUSE AND THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOT NORMAL.

NOT THEIR FAULT.

AND THEY ARE NOT TO BLAME.

HE IS TO BLAME AND HE NEEDS TO RESIGN.

>> POINTING TO THE WORDS AS FOUNDATIONAL TO WHAT EVENTUALLY BECAME KNEE TOO.

HE HAS BEEN ON THE DEBATE STAGE COUNTLESS TIMES AND HAS BEEN THE PRESIDENT FOR FOUR YEARS, SO IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THEM I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT.

>> I THINK HE OWES IT TO THE PEOPLE.

I DO NOT THINK OUR VOTERS OR PEOPLE THAT APPRECIATE WHAT HE DID, AND I APPRECIATE A LOT OF WHAT HE DID TOO.
