>>> NEW DETAILS ARE COMING OUT AS SAN DIEGO ROLLS OUT ITS FIRST EVER TRASH PICK-UP FEE.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THE CITY RECENTLY FINALIZED A MACHINE TO REPLACE HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF TRASH AND RECYCLING BINS.

KPBS REPORTER SAYS WHICH RESIDENTS CAN CHOOSE WHICH TRASH BIN SIZE AND PRICE POINT WORKS BEST FOR THEIR HOUSEHOLD.

>> Reporter: IF YOU LIVE IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, AND GET A MAILER, IT'S NOT TRASH.

IT'S ABOUT TRASH SERVICE.

LAST MONTH THEY UNVEILED THE NEW TRASH FEE FOR ALL HOMES.

THE MAILER EXPLAINS WHAT IT WILL COST, HOW IT WILL BE BILLED AND THE CHOICES FOR NEW TRASH BINS.

JEREMY BOWERS WITH THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT SAYS THE NEW BINS ARE NEEDED.

>> AROUND 75% OF THE DEPLOYED CONTAINERS ARE 20 YEARS OLD OR BEYOND.

AND THESE CONTAINERS ARE WARRANTIED FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS SO THEY'RE WELL BEYOND THEIR USEFUL LIFE, MEANING THEY'RE SUBJECT TO BREAKAGE.

>> Reporter: THIS WEEK THE CITY REPLACED THE CONTRACTS TO REPLACE BINS ACROSS SAN DIEGO AT A COST OF NEARLY $65 MILLION WHICH WILL BE SPREAD OUT OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS TO CUSTOMERS AND THEIR BILLS.

HE SAID THE MOVE OF 750,000 BINS IS PART OF UPGRADING SERVICE AS SAN DIEGO IMPLEMENTS ITS FIRST FEE.

IT INCLUDES SIZES AND COLORS AND NEW TECHNOLOGY.

>> ALL THE NEW CONTAINERS ARE DEPLOYED WITH RFID READERS WHICH, THAT IS TECHNOLOGY WE'RE CURRENTLY PILOTING AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO DETECT WHEN A NOT COULD TEENAGER IS PICKED UP SO WE CAN COLLECT THAT DATA OVER TIME.

>> Reporter: ON MONDAY THE COUNTY REPLACED THE PROGRAM 6-3.

THE COUNCILMEMBER WAS OPPOSED.

>> THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I VOTED NO.

THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH.

I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS TODAY AND I AM VERY SAD THAT WE'RE DOING THIS.

>> Reporter: THE NEW TRASH FEE STARTED JULY 1st AND WILL SHOW UP ON TAX BILLS.

WHILE THE FEES ARE SET NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE BIN, CUSTOMERS HAVE SOME OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO TRASH.

IT IS $43.60 A MONTH FOR THE STANDARD CONTAINER.

SMALLER ONES ARE CHEAPER.

>> THERE IS THE SELECT THE 35-GALLON TRASH CONTAINER OR THE 65-GALLON TRASH CONTAINER, THEY'LL PAY A LOWER FEE AND WE EXPECT MANY CUSTOMERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

>> Reporter: CUSTOMERS CAN CHOOSE THEIR SIZE ON THE NEW CITY WEBSITE.

>> THE WEBB IS NOW LIVE BUT WE'RE INVITING FOLKS TO RECEIVE THEIR MAILER TO LOG IN.

THAT'S BECAUSE IT INCLUDES A UNIQUE CODE TO LOG IN AND CREATE THEIR ACCOUNT.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS MAILERS WILL BE SENT OUT UNTIL THE END OF JULY.

RESIDENTS NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

IF THEY DON'T, THEY'LL AUTOMATICALLY BE ENROLLED FOR THE LARGEST SIZE BINS AT THE HIGHEST COST.

HE SAID THE CITY WILL START DELIVERING NEW BINS AND COLLECTING THE OLD ONES IN OCTOBER.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> SOME GOOD NEWS FOR SOUTH BAY RESIDENTS.

YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR TRASH BIPS ON THE CURB.

THE CHULA VISTA MAYOR SAYS SERVICE WORKERS ARE BACK ON THE JOB TODAY.

AT LEAST 80 TRUCKS WERE DEPLOYED TO PICK UP ALL THE TRASH.

EMERGENCY CREWS FROM ARIZONA ARE HERE TO SUPPORT.

UP TO NOW, McCANN SAID THE BIG CONCERN WAS TRASH PILED OUTSIDE OF RESTAURANTS ATTRACTING RATS AND BUGS.

NOW THEY ARE SERVICING ON HOME AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES.

>> PUT PRESSURE ON SERVICES TO HAVE ADDITIONAL DRIVERS COME IN, AND WE SET A DEADLINE TO POTENTIALLY DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND I THINK THAT WAS, THE DEADLINE REALLY HELPED PUSH BOTH PARTIES TO COME TOGETHER TO END THE STRIKE.

>> Reporter: CREWS SHOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH ONE THE TRASH PICK-UPS BY MONDAY.

IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY-RELATED TRASH PICK-UP, McCANN SAID TO CALL HIS OFFICE.

>>> WEATHER HEADLINES AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EVENING.

I WILL BE TRACKING LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND MILD CONDITIONS.

HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70s AND LOW 80s IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

I'M TRACKING GREAT WEATHER FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST.

PRIMARILY OFF TO THE EAST ALONG GO THE INTERIOR.

THE FOUR CORNERS.

WE'LL POSSIBLY SEE SOME FLOODING RAINFALL.

I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THAT COMING UP.

>>> A PRIVATE AIRCRAFT THAT LIFTED OFF SUNDAY FROM THE RAMONA AIRPORT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS BEEN LOST OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

THE REPORTER HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: THE CESSNA 240 THAT LEFT THE AIRPORT IS A SINGLE ENGINE FOUR-SEAT PLANE THAT IS REGISTERED TO PETER G. SCHULTZ, A WELL-KNOWN SAN DIEGO SCIENTIST AND THE CEO OF SCRIPPS RESEARCH IN LA JOLLA.

ON MONDAY THE STAFF SAID THE SCHULTZ WAS NOT ON THE PLANE WHICH HE HAD LENT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

THE AIRPLANE WAS TRACKED AS IT FLEW WEST OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN ABOUT 400 MILES OUT TO SEA BEFORE THE PLANE DISAPPEARED FROM RADAR.

THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SAID IT CLEARED THE CESSNA TO LAND AT MONTGOMERY FIELD BUT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE FAA SAYS IT LOST CONTACT WITH THE PLANE.

HE IS A COMMERCIAL PILOT BASED AT MONTGOMERY FIELD.

HE SAID THE PLANE ENTERED BRAVO AIR SPACE WHICH IS STRICTLY RESERVED FOR THE SAN DIEGO AIRPORT AT LINDBERGH FIELD.

>> SO THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE PILOT.

HE DIRECTLY FLEW INTO THAT AIR SPACE.

HE WENT OVER LINDBERGH'S AIR FIELD AT 2,600 FEET.

>> Reporter: HE WAS MONITORING THE PLANE ON THE FLIGHT AWARE WEBSITE AND HE SAID HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CESSNA WAS HEADED OUT OVER THE PACIFIC.

HE SAYS IF THE PILOT BECAME INCAPACITATED, HE HAD CLEARLY PUT THE PLANE ON AUTO PILOT.

>> HE WAS USING AUTO PILOT BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE SAME HEADING AND GO THE SAME ALTITUDE FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS OR SO.

AND AS PILOTS, AS PERFECT AS WE TRY TO BE, WE CAN'T REALLY KEEP A STRAIGHT A LINE AS THAT.

>> Reporter: KPBS HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CONFIRM THE NAME OF THE PILOT OR WHO ELSE MAY HAVE BEEN ON BOARD.

BUT SCHULTZ, THE PLANE'S OWNER TOLD SCRIPPS RESEARCHES THAT THE MAN FLYING THE PLANE WAS A FRIEND AND A VERY EXPERIENCED PILOT.

THE NAVY AND MARPS SEARCHED 2,600 MILES OF OCEAN OVER THREE DAYS.

THE SEARCH WAS SUSPENDED TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD TOLD KPBS THEY BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRESUMED CRASH OF THE AIRPLANE.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT IS NO SECRET THAT WATER IS EXPENSIVE IN SAN DIEGO.

BUT NOW A RECENT SETTLEMENT COULD HELP GET A LITTLE MONEY BACK.

VOICE OF SAN DIEGO SCOTT LEWIS EXPLAINS WHY IT MATTERS.

>> AS WE'VE EXPLAINED BEFORE, WE HAVE TOO MUCH WATER IN SAN DIEGO.

AND WE'RE PAYING A VERY HIGH RATE FOR IT.

SO IT WAS A BIG DEAL RECENTLY WHEN THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY SETTLED ITS 15-YEAR LAWSUIT WITH THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT.

THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT IS A HUGE AGENCY THAT DELIVERS WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

AND THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY DELIVERS IT TO EACH DISTRICT IN SAN DIEGO.

THE SETTLEMENT WILL SAVE MILLIONS IN LEGAL FEES AND WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR SAN DIEGO TO SELL SOME OF THE EXPENSIVE WATER IT HAS SECURED OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

AND THAT COULD HELP KEEP RATES FROM RISING.

RIGHT NOW YOUR WATER RATES EXPECTED TO GO UP ANOTHER 50% BY 2030.

THE NEW PIECE IS A BIG CHANGE FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY AND PARTICULARLY FOR THIS WOMAN, CHRIS.

SHE USED TO BE THE CHAIR OF THE AGENCY AND THEN SHE BECAME THE MAIN LAWYER.

HER AND HER FIRM COLLECTED MORE THAN $30 MILLION IN FEES FROM THE WATER AUTHORITY OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS.

SHE WAS THE ARCHITECT OF THE LEGAL BATTLES THAT CHARACTERIZED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WATER POLITICS OVER THAT TIME.

AND TWO WEEKS AGO, THE WATER AUTHORITY WAS AGAIN READY TO RENEW HER CONTRACT, BUT THEN CAME THE SETTLEMENT.

SO THE WATER AUTHORITY GENERAL COUNSEL SAID A LOT OF HER WORK WAS NO LONGER ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE.

AFTER ALL, THE LEGAL WAR WITH METROPOLITAN WAS OVER.

THAT SENT ONE OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE WATER AUTHORITY INTO A FURY.

HE ATTACKED THE GENERAL COUNSEL.

>> I THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE ON THIS BOARD AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DO IT.

YOU'RE NOT THE JUDGE.

YOU'RE NOT THE JURY.

DECISIONS ARE VESTED BY THIS BOARD.

PERIOD.

AND LET'S NOT EVER FORGET THAT.

WE RUN THIS SHOW.

NOT YOU.

>> I TALKED TO HIM AFTER THAT AND HE WENT EVEN FURTHER SAYING THE GENERAL COUNSEL SHOULD FIND ANOTHER JOB.

HE ALSO USED COLORFUL LANGUAGE AND THAT PROVOKED A LETTER FROM SEVERAL LOCAL WATER MANAGERS TO SAY HE WAS FORCED TO APOLOGIZE.

WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IS MANY PEOPLE AT THE WATER AUTHORITY WANT TO MOVE BEYOND HER AND THE LEGAL BATTLES OF THE PAST BUT IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE AND OUR WATER RATES ARE AT STAKE.

I'M SCOTT LEWIS FOR VOICE SAN DIEGO.

THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>>> AND VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS FOR THE PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG.

>>> FLASH FLOODING HAS SURGED INTO THE SPOTLIGHT FROM TEXAS TO THE NORTHEAST.

RECORD-BREAKING FLOOD EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED BACK TO BACK ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

MICHAEL HAS MORE ON WHAT'S BEHIND THE SEEMINGLY NONSTOP WEATHER EVENTS.

>> EXPERTS SAY A NUMBER OF FACTORS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEADLY FLOODING ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY TO NEW YORK CITY.

>> Reporter: HEAVY RAIN AND DEADLY WEATHER PUTTING PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES UNDER WATER.

>> IT FEELS LIKE EVENTS LAST NIGHT.

NOT JUST NEW JERSEY BUT AS GENERAL MATTER ARE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH MORE INTENSITY.

>> Reporter: SUMMER IS FLASH FLOOD SEASON WHEN INTENSE HEAT CAN FUEL THUNDERSTORMS AND WARM AIR CAN HOLD MORE MOISTURE.

BUT THESE RECENT EVENTS WERE MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

ALONG WITH HIGHER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, WE'VE SEEN RECORD LEVELS OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE WHICH LED TO DEADLY FLOODING IN TEXAS AND NORTH CAROLINA.

SUMMER STORMS TEND TO HAVE MA MORE SLOWLY OR EVEN STALL.

>> AS A RESULT, JUST DELUGING PLACES THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THAT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.

>> Reporter: WILDFIRES CAUSING PROBLEMS IN PLACES LIKE NEW MEXICO, BURNING AWAY VEGETATION AND IN SOME CASES, THE EXTREME HEAT CHANGING THE ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN RAIN WATER.

DROUGHTS CAN AMPLIFY DEADLY FLOODING IN TEXAS.

URBAN AREAS ARE NOT IMMUNE EITHER.

DRAIN SYSTEMS CAN BE OVERRUN.

>> THERE IS A GROWN RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL MARKETS, IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND, YOU KNOW, START GO IN INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A MUCH DIFFERENT BEAST IN TERMS OF THE WEATHER PAT PERSONS WE'RE EXPERIENCING AND THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE.

>> MORE THAN 3,000 FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED THIS YEAR SO FAR.

THAT'S THE HIGHEST TOTAL AT THIS POINT IN TIME IN THE YEAR SINCE THE RECORD STARTED BEING TAKEN BACK IN 1986.

IN WASHINGTON, MICHAEL YOSHIDA.

>>> TONIGHT WE SPEAK TO A FAMILY MEMBER OF A PALESTINIAN AMERICAN MURDERED BY ISRAELI SETTLERS IN THE WEST BANK.

>>> INFLATION TICKED OFF IN JUNE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE FEBRUARY AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE LATEST CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP THREATENING ANOTHER ROUND OF TARIFFS ON THE EUROPEAN UNION IN MEXICO, EXPERTS WORRY PRICES COULD GO UP EVEN MORE IN THE COMING MONTHS.

JEN SULLIVAN REPORTS.

>> Reporter: SHOPPERS ARE PAYING MORE FOR A VARIETY OF ITEMS.

THE LATEST INDEX REPORT RELEASED TUESDAY SHOWS OVERALL PRICES ARE 2.7% HIGHER THAN A YEAR AGO, AND ROSE .3% LAST MONTH.

THE CPI MEASURES PRICE CHANGES MONTH TO MONTH.

EVERYTHING FROM ENERGY TO HOUSING COSTS.

>> PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST TELEGRAPHED INFLATION INCREASES THAT WE'VE HAD.

>> Reporter: STEVEN CATES SHOWS THESE SHOW HOW IT IS IMPACTING PRICES.

THE COST OF MANY KEY CATEGORIES HAS GONE UP.

SHOPPERS ARE REALLY FEELING THE PRICE HIKES AT THE GROCERY STORE.

>> THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE CANNOT GROW IN THE U.S. AND ADDED COSTS TO IMPORT THOSE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IS GOING TO HIT THE GROCERY STORES AND GOING TO HIT YOUR WALLET.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO ADD 30% TARIFFS FROM MEXICO AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.

WHILE THAT WILL LIKELY GENERATE MONEY FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY, EXPERTS SAY CONSUMERS COULD SEE PRICES RISE EVEN MORE.

>> IF WE LAYER ON NEW TARIFFS ON TOP OF THEM, THAT WILL BE SOME ADDED FUEL TO THE WIRE.

>> Reporter: WHAT CAN CONSUMERS TO TO TRY TO SCALE BACK SPENDING?

COOK AT HOME.

THE AVERAGE PRICE TO EAT AT A RESTAURANT HAS INCREASED MORE THAN THE AVERAGE COST TO EAT AT HOME.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY INTO A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, CDs, TREASURY, YOU'RE GETTING A REALLY HEALTHY YIELD COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS.

>> FOR CONSUMER WATCH.

I'M JEN SULLIVAN.

>>> NATIONAL CITY OFFICIALS ARE CONSIDERING APPROVAL OF A MAJOR NEW FUEL DEPOT ON THE CITY'S WEST SIDE.

KPBS REPORTER SAYS THAT HAS ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES WORRIED THAT THE CITY MAY BE BACKING AWAY FROM ITS DECADES-LONG PLEDGE.

>> Reporter: SHE HAS LIVED IN NATIONAL CITY FOR OVER 25 YEARS.

SHE'S RETIRED HAIRDRESSER WHO LOVES KNITTING AND LOVES CRACKING JOKES.

>> SHE WAS TRYING TO GARDEN BUT SHE'S VERY BAD AT IT.

>> Reporter: WE'RE SITTING AT HER DINING ROOM TABLE.

THIS PERSON IS HELPING TRANSLATE.

MARGARITA HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE COALITION FOR TWO DECADES TO PUSH BACK AGAINST POLLUTION IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET INVOLVED WITH EVERYTHING.

>> Reporter: BUT MARGARITA TURNS SERIOUS WHEN WE GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

A KNEW FUEL DEPOT LESS THAN A MILE FROM HER HOME.

THE DEPOT WOULD SERVE AS A REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION HUB FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF BIOFUELS EVERY DAY.

THEY ARE ALTERNATIVES.

THEY ARE MADE FROM CLEANER SOISS LIKE VEGETABLE OILS AND ALGAE.

THE COMPANY WOULD RELY ON DIESEL BURNING TRUCKS AND TRAINS.

USD SAYS THEY WOULD SUPPORT THE GOAL FOR CLEANING THE AIR AND SLASHING CLIMATE-WARMING ADDITIONS BUT SHE SAID IT WOULD BE A STEPBACK FOR NATIONAL CITY.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLEAN THE CITY OF POLLUTION FOR A LONG TIME, SHE SAYS.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE .

IT USED TO BE SMALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

BUT THE PORT AUTHORITY OPENED A NEW TERMINAL TO PROCESS CARS FROM OVERSEAS.

THE CITY OPENED THE ZONING LAWS AND OPENED TO SMALL-SCALE MANUFACTURING.

>> WE WALK DOWN THE STREETS OF WEST NATIONAL CITY, YOU'LL SEE AN AUTO BODY SHOP, A CAR OUT ON THE STREET BEING WORKED ON THERE, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A FAMILY.

>> Reporter: JOSE GARCIA IS WITH THE HEALTH COALITION.

HE'S THAT RELATED TO HER.

FRANKLIN SAID THOSE DECISIONS HAVE LEFT PEOPLE IN THE AIR BREATHING HIGHLY POLLUTED AIR.

>> THE STORY OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF LIVING IT.

AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE'RE ALSO DOING THE RESEARCH AND THE POLICY TO EVALUATE THAT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE COMBINING THAT WITH ACTUAL EVIDENCE, RIGHT?

SEEING THE NUMBERS OF PARTICULATE MATTER, DIESEL PARTICULATE MATTER IN THE AIR.

>> Reporter: DIESEL PARTICULATE MATTER IS ONE OF THE THINGS FRANCO PAYS THE MOST ATTENTION TO.

IT COMES FROM THE DIESEL ENGINES AND HEAVY TRUCKS AND FREIGHT TRAINS.

THEY CAN REACH DEEP INTO THE LUNGS.

STATEWIDE DATA SHOWS NATIONAL CITY HAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

MARGARITA'S HOME, HER AIR QUALITY REVEALS TOXIC PARTICLES.

SHE HAS SIGHED A BRAIN ANEURYSM.

CITY OFFICIALS HAVE STARTED CLAMPING DOWN IN RECENT YEARS.

THEY PASSED RESTRICTIONS AND FREEZES ON NEW INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES.

>> THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING BATTLE.

>> Reporter: THAT IS THE MAYOR SPEAKING AT A COUNCIL MEETING IN 2010.

THAT YEAR THE CITY ADOPTED THE WEST SIDE PACIFIC PLAN.

IT WAS AN AMBITIOUS PLEDGE TO SLOWLY UNTANGLE THE BUSINESSES FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT DID TEN YEARS AGO.

AND PEOPLE THAT ARE REALISTIC SAY THERE HAVE BEEN DRASTIC CHANGE.

YEAH.

>> BUT THEY WORRY IT WOULD HURT THE ONGOING EFFORTS TO REDUCE POLLUTION.

THE CITY'S OWN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SAYS THE DEPOT WOULD LEAD TO MORE TRAINS AND TRUCKS AND MORE DIESEL POLLUTION.

ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY.

IT IS ALSO FACING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD MAY NOT FOR RESIDENTS' HEALTH.

THE CITY COUNCILWOMAN REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT.

SHE DECLINED AN INTERVIEW ADDRESS BUT ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO STAY ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS.

HE SAID IT COME AT AN ESPECIALLY DELICATE TIME.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SEVERELY WEAKENED THE CALIFORNIA MANDATES.

HE HAS ALSO SLASHED GRANTS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS OF COLOR.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF FIGHTS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

I'M SURE, AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, NOT EVERYBODY WHO PROBABLY WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CAN JUMP INTO IT.

>> Reporter: STILL, HE SAYS IT MAKES HIM HOPEFUL.

WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

THE CITY'S PLANNING COMMISSION WILL VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD IN THE COMING WEEKS.

>>> EFFORTS TO SAVE SAN DIEGO'S BOWL HAS HIT A MAJOR SNAG.

SOMEONE BROKE INTO THE ICONIC AMPHITHEATRE ON JULY 12th AND STOLE ABOUT $30,000 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT.

IT IS THE LATEST SETBACK IN A STRING OF INCIDENTS THAT HAS DATED THE OPENING SINCE A FALLEN TREE CLOSED ITS CLOSURE IN 2019.

INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE BURGLARS WENT THROUGH THE SECURITY WINDOW THAT A DEAD BOLT.

>> THIS TYPE OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, IT'S AN EMOTIONAL SETBACK OVER THE FINANCIAL SET PAC.

THESE GUITARS WERE DONATED TO US.

SO TO BE ABLE TO WALK INTO A VENUE THAT WE ARE VOLUNTEERING TO SEE OUR HARD WORK AND EFFORTS SUFFER THIS SORT OF LOSS, IT'S DEFINITELY A SETBACK.

>> THE SAVE STAR LIGHT GROUP IS PUSHING TO FINALIZE THEIR LEASE WITH THE CITY.

THEY SAY WITHOUT IT, THEY CAN'T BRING IN SPONSORS AND DONORS TO HELP PAY FOR INCREASED SECURITY AND RENOVATIONS.

>>> I AM TRACKING GREAT WEATHER HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

TONIGHT I'LL BE TRACKING LOW TO MID 60s.

LOW CLOUDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY FEATURE YOU'LL NOTICE AS YOU HEAD OUT NORTH.

IT WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60s ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS.

SOME COOLER CONDITIONS AS YOU HEAD ALONG THE INTERIOR.

DOWN TO 62 FOR BOTH OCEANSIDE.

WE'LL SEE SOME SHOWERS GETTING PRESS CLOSE.

THEY'LL STAY WELL TO THE EAST TO WHERE WE WON'T SEE ANY ORGANIZED RAIN CHANCES.

AROUND 9:00 A.M., AS YOU LOOK TO THE EAST, WE CAN'T RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW STRAY SPRINKLES IN THE FORECAST.

SO YOU MAY BE WALKING OUT TO A FEW SPRINKLES IN THE MORNING.

AND THEN BY THE AFTERNOON, IT WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LOW BUT IT WON'T BE STEER AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR THAT TREND TO CONTINUE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

MOST OF THAT RAINFALL WILL REMAIN ALONG THE INTERIOR HERE AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT YOUR THURSDAY.

TEMPERATUREWISE FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON, PRETTY MILD.

PRIMARILY IN THE 70s.

WE'LL SEE SOME 80s INCLUDING 80 DEGREES RIGHT THERE IN ESCONDIDO.

HEADING INTO FRIDAY, MORE SHOWERS, MORE STORMS MAINLY IN THE EVENING HOURS ALONG THE FOUR CORNERS.

IT WILL STAY DRY ACROSS THE COASTAL AREAS AND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA METRO AREA.

THE FORECAST IN THE 70s.

OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE SUNSHINE.

NO REAL ORGANIZED CHANCES OF RAIN.

WE'LL SEE TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING INTO THE 80s AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

OVERNIGHT MIX OF UPPER 50s TO LOW 60s.

ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS, WE'LL SEE HIGHS IN THE 60s BEFORE CLIMBING INTO THE 70s BY NEXT WEEK.

THEN ACROSS THE DESERT, WE'LL BE BACK IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

>>> WE'RE GETTING A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHERE POTENTIAL PARKING FEES WILL GO UP.

PARKING METERS WILL BE ADDED ALONG PARK AVENUE, PRESIDENT'S WAY AND SIXTH AVENUE.

AND THOSE SPOTS WILL COST $2.50 PER HOUR.

THE PARKING LOTS AT THE PARK WILL CHARGE ANYWHERE FROM $5 TO $15 A DAY WITH DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO SAN DIEGO RESIDENTS.

>> SO IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO COME ANY TIME.

AND THEN YEAH.

I THINK IF WE HAD TO PAY TO PARK, IT WOULD DEFINITELY DETER US FROM COMING AS OFTEN AS WE DO.

>> THAT'S DEFINITELY A SHAME.

>> IT STILL NEEDS PARKING ZONE APPROVAL.

IT WOULD BE USED TO PAY FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE SURE IT IS SUSTAINABLE THAT.

>>> A PLACE FOR WOMEN VETERANS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

ANDREW BRINGS US ON AN EARLY HOME TOUR.

>> Reporter: WHAT THE DIRECTOR SHOWS US AROUND THIS SUBURBAN ESCONDIDO HOME.

>> THAT'S IT IN HERE.

OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, NEW COUNTER TOPS, NEW SINK, NEW DOORS, HARDWARE, NEW SHOWER DOORS.

IT WILL BE NICE.

>> Reporter: A VETERAN WOMAN AND HER KIDS CAN STAY IN THE HOME FREE OF CHARGE WHILE SHE'S ENROLLED IN SEVERAL WOUNDED WARRIORS PROGRAMS.

THAT INCLUDES JOB TRAINING, HELP FINISHING COLLEGE OR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IF NEEDED.

IT IS ABOUT PROVIDING STABILITY.

>> HERE'S ONE.

OTHER BEDROOMS.

>> Reporter: WOUNDED WARRIOR HOMES RUNS ANOTHER HOME FOR MEN IN VISTA.

HE LIVES THERE.

HE'S BEEN WITH WOUNDED WARRIOR HOMES FOR TWO YEARS AND HAS BEEN WORKING ON UPDATING THE WOMEN'S HOUSE.

>> I THINK THAT'S THE GOOD WAY.

PEOPLE ARE JUST IN THE CIVILIAN LIFE, THEY CAN COME HERE AND GET THEM.

>> Reporter: THEY'RE ALREADY RECEIVING APPLICATIONS AND PLAN TO HAVE A FAMILY MOVE IN NEXT MONTH.

>> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WOMAN COMING IN WITH THEIR TWO KIDS REALLY NEED THIS PLACE.

>> Reporter: HE SAID IT HAS BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

>> EVERYTHING WAS OUTDATED.

NOW SEEING THE CHANGES, EVERYTHING HELPS OUT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING, TRYING TO HELP OTHER VETERANS.

AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE HARD TIMES.

SO THAT ITSELF IS A GOOD FEELING.

>> Reporter: MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT WOUNDED WARRIOR HOMES.ORG.
