introduce legislation that would temporarily lift restrictions on city leaders seeking private funds. the public private partnerships of raising private dollars to help with public projects can't happen unless you go through a process like this. the exact design of the enclosure hasn't been decided yet, but chinese officials will work with city leaders on the next steps. the mayor has said she'll work to make sure that the pandas have a safe and secure temporary home in san francisco, and that will cost money even when i'm having conversations and people are saying, oh, i want to help, right? >> so instantly there's a form that i would have to fill out, but i can't even do that unless i get permission to make the request. >> zoo visitors say they're already looking forward to the pandas arrival. >> i don't know too much about politics, but i love pandas and it'd be nice because the children here, there's a lot of children and something to look forward to. coming to san francisco. we like to come to the zoo all the time. >> it's always excited to see the new animals and like the baby hippo. and we're looking

forward to the new pandas coming to. >> at this point, there's no timeline on when the board of supervisors will decide whether or not to temporarily lift the restrictions on securing private donations to pay for the new panda enclosure. the city hoping those pandas will be here at the san francisco zoo early next year in san francisco. christien, kafton ktvu fox two news. >> the assistance center set up to help last year's victims of the pajaro levee breach, will close its doors this weekend, monterey county officials say. residents and businesses have until 2 p.m. saturday to apply for state aid through the unmet needs program during the month long operation, officials say more than 600 households and 45 businesses have sent in applications. about 500 households have qualified for grocery store gift cards, and nearly 250 qualified for some financial support to fix homes, cars and property. >> a mostly cloudy evening across the bay area, seeing patchy fog drift over the city

any means. but the sharks, they had the worst record in the league this year. and over the past two years under quinn, they won just 41 of the 162 games that they played, and the thunder hosting the pelicans half court shot for 20 grand? you betcha eli wolf banks it in. says he's going to use the money for his wedding. as for the game seven footer chet holmgren throws it down for the thunder. he finished with 26 points. oklahoma city rolls 124 to 92 to take a two nothing lead in that series, the miami heat did upset the boston celtics in the east to even up that series at a game apiece. former usc running back reggie bush, he is. he's getting his heisman trophy back. bush. he won the heisman in 2005, but was forced to forfeit it five years later when the ncaa ruled that he received improper benefits. but this is a new era in college sports. athletes are now allowed to profit with name,
