supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: aye. >> clerk: cohen, aye. the motion passes. >> supervisor cohen: all right. chief, you're done. thank you for your time. i'd like to call up kelly kirkpatrick to discuss technical amendments. >> thank you for your patience. i had to get all the papers together. the clerk should be bringing them over to you. i have included three rounds of technical adjustments. round one is what you had heard on monday? all the technical cleanups about balancing overhead entries, correcting work orders, accurately reflecting grant amounts, and it includes the detail which i submitted to you all via e-mail over monday, but i wanted you to have that full package to accept. round two of which there's a letter as well as excel sheet is attached are actualizing the rebalancing plans for homeless and mohcd, so it was removing all items related to proposition d that was included in the first budget, removing the state revenue, reflecting the updated retiree health benefits, addressing expenditures both at h.s.h. and mohcd to fund ho

thank you, chair, chair cohen. >> president cohen: all right. seeing that there are no further accommodations, madam clerk, i'd like to make a motion to excuse supervisor fewer. that motion has been seconded by kpriefr peskin, and can we take that without -- supervisor peskin, and can we take that without supervisor peskin. and it is after 3:00. can we take the special orders at 3:00? >> clerk: this is items 62 and [agenda item read] [agenda item read] >> president cohen: all right. thank you. before we begin, i have a few things i want to read. so madam clerk, thank you for calling items 62 and 63. ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this hearing is to hear testimony on the proposed levy of assessments of the property districts named. pursuant to the board of supervisors resolution of intention adopted may 22, 2018, as described in the management district -- as described in the mcment district plan, the proposed district would be approximately 535 identified parcels located on approximately 14 whole or partial blocks. details of the covered ar

michael cohen is not reliable. this is the guy that one of the ways he gotten in trump's world is he did whatever it took to get problems to go away. donald trump is not terribly reliable. the washington post said that he lied more than 3,000 times of his first 266 days in office. simone? >> well, don, this makes a bigger point. if we can't believe the president and his allies and his family about something as small or as big depending on how you look at it as a meeting, what can we believe them about? >> what the president said matters and who the president matters. we have found that none of these folks are credible. we can't believe anything that's being said. for instance, when the president said he's giving $12 billion bail out quote on quote to farmers and he's going to do something about this, can we believe him? the president says i did not discuss x, y, and z, can we believe him? we can't believe the president of the united states. >> the only person who have said anything about this under oath that we kno

. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i'd like to request that the mayor authorize a growth in the budget by the amount of the closeout. can you take care of that? >> it is my understanding that before actions just taken by the board as related to police, that there was $2.06 million worth of encumbrances? >> supervisor cohen: say that one more time. how much? >> 2.06 million in encumbrances or prior closeouts identify by the budget and legislative analyst's. since that would grow the bottom line of the budget that does require the mayor's office to increase the appropriation authority. given that the board was put out a spending allocation plan that is $31.6 million and in combination with the b.l.a. baseline cuts, this additional 2.60 million offen -- 2.60 million of encumbrances would get them to the 5 million approximately, and i have been authorized by the mayor to make that department -- increase the appropriation by the 2.60 million. >> supervisor cohen: okay. thank you. we're going to take the $45 million of discu

good thing you had a bunch of lawyers around for the release of the cohen -- cohen tape number 1. there's going to be many more. we're going to play it in its entirety for people to decide what it is they're hearing here. but let me begin by telling you who's not going to be on our show tonight. rudy giuliani declined to come on and explain what his client donald trump is actually saying on that audio that we're going to play in a moment. but michael avenatti is here and he has a novel take on what's going on with these tapes. adam schiff was here already to talk about what rudy giuliani's been saying about the president possibly cooperating or not with the mueller investigation. we'll get his take on what his read of this tape is as both a former prosecutor and member of congress. but rachel, i think this is -- this is the night that the president has been preparing his followers for. just today saying don't believe what you see, don't believe what you read. he knew this was coming because rudy giuliani had been working all day on the response to the public release of this becaus

. >> president cohen: okay. does that conclude your presentation? >> pretty much unless you have any questions. >> president cohen: no. i think it's straightforward. it's an ordinance where -- a contract amendment. it's very clean and straightforward. what i'm going to do is seeing that the colleagues don't have any questions will go to public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment on item 1, please come on up. as a reminder, you have 2 minutes. you will hear a soft chime indicating 30 seconds is remaining on the balance of your time. public comment is closed. colleagues? b.l.a. report. >> good morning, chair, budget analyst office. this increases the contract with the end date of september, 2020. it would move the end date back four years to december, 2024, and increase the contract amount by $12.4 million to a total contract of $28.4 million about. the increase is largely due to increase in power usage at treasure island due to development and partially due to an increase in the rates. t

cohen is cooperating. they've made the decision he is going to tell prosecutors what he knows and he's going to do that honestly. we used to call ta joining team america. he's on the team. if that's true, there is no way in the world that mr. cohen would leak this information. it just doesn't make any sense. on the other hand, i don't really think the leak if it came from the trump team, undermines cohen's value as a witness. here's why. the government still needs to prove it. they still need to have somebody who can get on the stand and testify to it. they need to corroborate it. so the fact it's already out there is not good for the government because they don't want details of their investigation made public before they across to make it public but still need mr. cohen as a witness. somebody has to put meat on that bone. and an anonymous leak from an unknown source, that's not going to cut it from a prosecutorial standpoint. that's information but it's not evidence. at least not in a technical sense. an

>> supervisor cohen: it's probably easier. >> okay. >> good morning chair cohen. good morning budget committee members i'm director of property and permits with rec and park department. i'm here first before you to present legislation to adjust our tennis fees. these adjustments are the first time they have been adjusted in over 20 years. the new rate has been publicly discussed during community meetings as well as rec and park commission. the ordinance will enable and ensure equitable rates in our service and activity in the golden gate park tennis after it is renovated. the lowest possible rate for our residents. if you have any questions. >> supervisor cohen: yes i do. supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: i like your senior rate. i would like to suggest that the seniors be identified as 60 years and older and rather than 65 years and older. was there a discussion about that? >> that never came up. that's what we've had all our senior rates across our other facilities. we were matching those. >> supervisor fewer: you identified, across all your programs, it's

so the prosecutors might have thought they were getting everything from cohen, but according to cohen's lawyer, millions of those documents would be held back because they were privileged. that has not turned out to be the way it has gone. today what this new special masters report says is there are about 22,000 documents that are still going through some layer of review, and she, the special master, will ultimately decide whether they are attorney-client privilege and they should be withheld. 2,000 docume 22,000 documents still in the mix. today prosecutors were given 1.3 million documents. that were seized from michael cohen's office and home today. prosecutors got that many documents from cohen's office and home today. that is the bloody, bloody bottom line in this very short tiedly report from the special master. the release made to the government today of 1.365 items. we had also learned in court proceedings around this search warrant and all the stuff that with was seized from the president's lawyer, michael cohen, we also learned there were about 16 pages that were taken from mic

. >> supervisor cohen: okay. colleagues, do you have any other questions, anything else that you want to share? >> can i finish my -- thank you. i just -- sorry, i lost my place. although i have to have an additional job on top of running my business just to live and to be able to raise my two small children in such an expensive city like san francisco i'm optimistic as my future looks bright, especially with the mentorship of few south parking. and i'm getting my certification outside of the airport contract. i have worked with new south parking since 2012 and since then and through the mentorship i have grown to manage the $12 million of revenue at the airport. >> supervisor cohen: how much? >> it's $12 million. but there's other things they helped me to navigate, like learning how to become an employee and enabling good jobs for my staff. or sharing the passion that i have for my community, like the work that i do in the bayview in have the arthur coleman medical center which thank you, supervisor cohen, for y

commissioner cohen, supervisor cohen, chair cohen, president cohen. i have to also join the chorus of having an open process during the budget process. i think we had very good debates during the process and sometimes we had to give, sometimes we win some. i thought it was well-run. san francisco police budget, one of these things i lost some arguments there. again, it's all about give and take. and the nice thing about the issues i raised with the staffing saying how can we get police officers on the street faster and people didn't buy the argument at the time but the nice thing is we didn't just leave it. we agreed the controller's office should look at the 6-8 officers that could be civilianized which would quickly then have police officers on the street rather than sitting behind a desk. hopefully that study will come soon so we can actually continue having a discussion around that particular issue. i want to thank also ben rosenfield's office, harvey and severin of b.l.a. and jon givner deputy city attorney and kelly kirkpatrick, and congratulati

that doesn't mean that what michael cohen -- that doesn't corroborate what michael cohen is saying. but to simone's point, it does suggest that there is a lot of mistruth, untruth, that has already happened around that. >> lies. just say lies. i'm going to keep you guys for another segment here, but i just have to say, this is me in the role of rudy giuliani, and i read this, i played this at the top, so he says, gosh almighty, why didn't he tape it? he taped everything else, he's got a hundred tapes, why didn't he tape it, maybe he did, maybe he's got a tape that he erased. did you ever think of that? no. you don't think that he would erase a tape? maybe he would. i don't know. again, if you're saying the meeting never happened, and then you're conceding that he taped the meeting that never happened, what sense does that make? we'll be right back. what will you discover with a lens made by essilor? sharper vision, without limits. days that go from sun up to sun down. a whole world in all its beauty. three innovative technologies for our ultimate in vision, clarity, and protection.

supervisor cohen. >> president m. cohen: all right aye. >> clerk: cohen aye. there are nine aye's. >> president m. cohen: the resolution to establish the discover community polk district and levy assessment is unanimously passed. congratulations. madam clerk? may we return to public comment? >> clerk: at this time madam president we will call the first speaker. >> president m. cohen: thank you. >> i want to start off with the fact that we already know there's a lot of disparities and discrimination that takes place. i want to start off saying today i have no problem in dealing with all nationalities as i take care of my business, not only on the inside of this building but the outside of this building too. sfgovtv, please? i want to demonstrate and give accommodations and demonstrate that all the age that work with you supervisors, this aid by the name of chelsey boulliard is a special tribute to me. i like the way she has taken care of business. because she is 6-7 months pregnant i have to persuade her to sit down when she is helping me pertaining to my issue

>> supervisor cohen: over two years? >> peryear. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is louie gonzales. i volunteer for the coalition on homelessness, and i just want to travel you how embarrassing it is to travel to third world countries and find out there is more homeless people on the streets of san francisco. i implore you if you could use those funds for the homelessness, the youths, the future of this country. just because they're homeless does not make them disposable people, and i think it would make me proud for you people to use the funds to help them out and i would -- want to die knowing that i lived at a time when i had very important and wise supervisors that made a change. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. my name is von chase cly. i'm speaking on behalf of the chinatown nmca. we're asking you for continued support of our s.r.o. program. in the last two years we've served after 128 families with a comprehensive support program that provides them with economic self-sufficie

>> good morning, chair cohen and supervisors. thank you for allowing me to speak to you this morning. we are well aware of the section 23 of the code that would require under section 23.3 an appraisal and possibly a review appraisal, however, in my opinion we should be relying upon section 233 2330 which alls the director of real estate to forego an appraisal if an authorized lease below market -- if it is for a proper public purpose. in this particular case the lease is for 100% affordable housing. so by definition we know that it's below market. an appraisal in this circumstance would only give us information on how much subsidy we're giving to this tenant in order to provide affordable housing. we know by definition that this is a below market lease. so getting an appraisal would not tell us anything more than we already know. i urge the board to allow me to exercise the authority granted me under section 2330 and that you approve the resolution without the need for further appraisal. >> chair cohen: thank you. b.l.a., what re

cohen may be telling the truth. we got all these people whether it is cohen, rudy giuliani and everyone who's touched by donald trump is disgraced by him. >> you set up a sound bite that i want to play now. this is rudy giuliani describing donald trump. >> anybody can -- you can go back to ancient times where you can find people that you think you trust. i saw the president when he first found out that he had been taped and he was shocked. >> i believe that. >> he was not angry. >> he was not angry. he was disappointed like a father could be betrayed by his son. >> that's a dramatic language. is this a threat to cohen in effect to rudy giuliani saying he's going to pay the price? micha micha michael cohen is not worried of what rudy giuliani say on tv show as oppose to what prosecutors in new york is doing to his life right now. you can't make cases on a proven mark. i don't know where he's proven to be a liar. up until a month ago, he was donald trump's lawyer and donald trump was saying a great guy and a great law

one is cohen and the other is trump. and lanny davis is a skilled -- i don't know -- skilled publicists, shall we say. and it feels like lanny may have hypothetically have been responsible for the cohen tape being revealed to show cohen had something worthwhile. and rudy giuliani perhaps should have remained silent because basically it's an inkulpatory document, it does not exculpate trump. another blemish on giuliani's to explain how expulpatory this document is and the timing doesn't matter. when it's very close to pay off in august, that they're in september talking about handling the money. >> i'm out of time, jay, but i'll give you the final word briefly. go ahmed. >> giuliani has not been helpful to trump. but then he says that michael cohen can be counted onto tell the truth. and that's an exact quote from the statement that he makes. and it's in trump's interest to impute negative hostility to his testimony with respect to any wrongdoing on a part trump. and for trump's lawyer to say that he's somebody could be c

and now cohen, if needed, is ready to do the

and madam president cohen? >> president cohen: thank you very much. i'll submit as well. >> clerk: all right. madam clerk, that concludes the introduction of new business. >> president cohen: all right, folks. time for public comment. madam clerk, will you please call public comment. >> clerk: at this time, members of the public may address the board of supervisors on subject matter jurisdiction before the board to include the june 18, 2018 -- june 14, 2018 minutes, and items on the agenda. pursuant to the board's rules, please direct your remarks to the board as a whole, not to individual members of the board, not to the audience. speakers using interpretation assistance will be allowed twice the time. if you would like to display your document on the overhead projector, please state such to sfg tv and then remove the document when you'd like the screen to return to life coverage of the meeting, and magic, the floor is yours. >> thank you. theet are critical times, we need to work together to stay grounded in our compassionate heart. when people spea

like michael cohen and allen. you have to worry if you're president trump that they are really getting close to you. >> yeah. you think they could unearth things that are relevant to the mueller investigation? >> yeah. of course the mueller investigation has been so disciplined. it's hard to know for sure what different angles they're looking at. that professionalism in not leaking information is actually quite intimidating if you're the defendant. or the subject of an investigation. because it means these are guys who know what they're doing. >> tell me about this case. and what this could mean to the investigation. >> well, i'm not sure how that would connect to the investigation. it's another legal problem for the president. and it's a fairly big one. from my per spect i have it's a good week in ethics in goth government. we haven't had a lot of those lately in government. in one of the three cases this is involving the state of maryland and the district of columbia. with help from a citizens for responsibility

president, sir, is michael cohen lying? mr. president, will you speak with us about your former lawyer? >> cohen lawyer, lanny davis, says mr. giuliani seems to be confused. he expressly waived attorney-client privilege and has repeatedly and inaccurately talked about the recording whereby forfeiting all confidentiality. giuliani says cohen is violating attorney-client privilege. but then davis argues, no, they're not. who's correct in. >> last week giuliani and his team said they were waiving privilege on this recording and a few other recordings as well. so there's there seems to be no claim of privilege attached to this recording. secondly, the this recording is evidence of a crime, there is no privilege whatsoever. so attorney-client privilege does not attach. it does seem to me his team are trying to intimidate michael cohen. but i think on the issue of these recordings there's no privilege at play. >> so attorney-client privilege, that should be a moot point on this one. what about giulianiing about the recorded conversat

thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. any other speakers? >> good morning, peter strauss on the board of the san francisco transit riders and the member of the transportation justice coalition and we want to thank supervisor peskin for all of the work in the past few years that led up to this. and i want to thank supervisor fewer and your colleagues on the full board for joining as co-sponsors of this measure which we strongly support. as you know the voters passed it by two-thirds in 2016. and also many people were part of the task force late last year and early this year which supported an investment program in transportation but failed to develop a revenue source to support it. so we look to this as addressing the revenue issues as best we can. and we also recognize that we have a lot of work ahead of us and we look forward to working with you on developing the allocation strategy that needs to accompany this measure as we go forward. but today i want to thank you for your support and i urge the committee to pass this

>> supervisor cohen: b.l.a. >> chair cohen. reason why we were looking at the substitution is because this is for senior personnel clerk and the human resources division of the department. this division currently already has two full time personnel clerk and two senior personnel clerks. our understanding previously was that it was temporary. we've been corrected on that. that this substitution was done prior to board approval. we wanted to bring it forward to the attention of the committee. >> supervisor cohen: why did you do it prior to board approval? >> it's pretty standard at the department level. you can i can changes vacant position within a 15% salary differential of the position. we had a particular need in light of some of the system changes that were happening to people soft. which is our human resources and payroll processing systems. we had a staffing hold that we wanted to fill. we have an incumbent. there was a list we selected the person we would prefer to keep them. it was mid-year change. >> supervisor cohen: i

cohen did not leak this. mr. cohen's team did not leak this. this was leaked by someone close to mr. trump because their philosophy is it's out there, it's bad. own it early and by getting this out there, this is one of the worst things cohen had to share with prosecutors, you diminish his value on the used car lot. >> it's interesting to say that michael cohen is an untrustworthy character considering he was the person that president trump trusted for a decade. that speaks poorly about the president's judge of character there as well. i think you hit the nail on the head. there's some reporting that this is not a leak from the cohen camp. in fact, on this very air earlier this evening emily jane fox was very well sourced with cohen suggested that the fear there is that this card was being plucked from his hand. the trump team wanted to put this out to sort of sully, to diminish what he could offer mueller, damage his credibility and suggest we're not afraid of what you can bring. we're going to put it out there and deal with it now. so much of

>> supervisor cohen: please. we'll continue for the next one. >> for the recreation park department, we recommend reduction for $1,024,489 in fiscal 18-19. it allow increase fiscal year 18-19. recommends closing out prior year $56,749 for total general fund savings $996,000. also with the policy recommendations, we understand that the department is prepared to accept our policy recommendation to delete one replacement for 250 extended cab. are little to accept the savings reduction for the upward substitution of the policy recommendations of $18,904 first year and $18,888,000 in the second year but with position authority to do that substitution and then in the second year, our recommended reduction to the budget total $55,755 and all of those are one timesaver -- time savings. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: can you go through the amounts again? you're saying year one, it will be 1,004,000 -- $1,044,000 that are one time only. this is what i have? is it one time only. >> that's correct. >

>> supervisor cohen: hold on. the reason why it's eight miles a day is it's an old car and it's breaking down. >> and the reason -- >> supervisor cohen: director, director, i'm sorry. i want supervisor sheehy to finish his thought. >> supervisor sheehy: i just thought it would be great if the b.l.a. could look at car usage overall and look at the size of our fleet. who knows. maybe they'll put everybody on scooters. but honestly, the cars, that's -- now, it's just -- there are a lot of city cars. >> supervisor cohen: maybe we do need city scooters. >> supervisor sheehy: we do need -- i mean, we put so many encumbrances on people being able to drive in this city with the goal of everybody using transit, but we do not follow that practice in my experience as a city. so if we can eliminate one car, i think we'll make progress. >> if i may, i just -- this car is used by the enforcement staff to go from our office which is kind of central to the city to locations all over the city. with all respect to m.t.a., and i thi

. >> supervisor cohen: okay. yes mr. rhodes. >> i do remember not the specifics, other transfers where it was a one on one transfer. i do not remember, ever in my history, of a transfer of a function where it went up 233% in the same year that was being transferred. if anybody can prove me wrong to the contrary, let me know. >> supervisor cohen: it would be mr. herrera. >> i'm sorry. >> one thing that was pointed out to me. couple of years ago we started doing lawyer work here. i we have lawyers that handled lawyers law work. never came back and look for additional funding for that either. that is going to be consumed within this unit that is going to be -- >> supervisor cohen: we've got some questions here that i want to get some clarity on. i want to go back to the state legislation. it passed out of committee 31-0 and frankly i believe expected to pass. what are the implications of this legislation passing? what are the implications going to be on city county of san francisco? >> it's hard to predict. my understanding

daniels' attorney urging cohen to release the recordings. >> if michael cohen is a true patriot as he wants the american people to believe and lanny davis wants the american people to believe then michael cohen should release the audio recordings and i will tell you there's more than one, multiple recordings and all of them should be released for the benefit of the american public. >> reporter: for now, michael cohen isn't commenting. he's been seen on the streets of new york city but stayed mostly silent, at least publicly. he sat down with abc anchor george stephanopoulos off camera this month signaling a willingness to work with robert mueller and said his family comes first and not the president and late last night after a week of twisted words from the white house on russia, cohen quoted the broadcaster walter cronkite saying it's never more important than now for everyone to distinguish of innuendo and fact. michael cohen told friends this month he's skeptical that president trump would ever pardon him if cohen is charged with a crime. in fact, a source tells cnn when the presid

thank you president cohen for this opportunity. >> supervisor cohen: of course. thank you for joining us. colleagues, there are no topics submitted to the clerk, we will move on. madam clerk, please call the consent agenda. >> clerk: madam president, i will add that if members of the public would like to comment on the mayor's appearance today they can do so during general public comment. items one through three are on consent. these items are considered routine if a member -- an item may be removed and considered separately. >> supervisor cohen: thank you madame clerk. did you call items one through three 20. >> clerk: yes i did. >> supervisor cohen: it would any supervisors like to settle these items? >> supervisor mandelman: i would like to sever items to auto and three. these ordinances are ever lamenting a settlement agreement which will be coming to the board i believe on july 31st. i would like to sever them and continue. >> supervisor cohen: thank yo you. i will rerefer to you and you will be able to talk on the reasons why. just so we are able to keep mo

>> no. >> then why did michael cohen make it -- >> you have to ask michael cohen. michael is my attorney and you'll have to ask michael. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> no, i don't know. >> so he denied that and then referenced michael cohen, saying you'll have to ask his attorney michael cohen. so, do you think that this new recording, does it to you show that he did have an affair and he tried to cover it up or that he knew about it? >> i think it is certainly circumstantial evidence donald trump knew about each of these payments and knew what was going on in the months prior to the election day of what payments were being made and how they were being structured and michael cohen was consulting with him. i don't know how you reconcile this tape, don, with michael cohen's denials and others acting on his behalf when we first filed this case in march, april and may. how many times did we hear michael cohen and people on his behalf claim that the allegations were false and that him and donald trump, that he and donald trump were innoce

in trump world or cohen world? >> nutty is a generous term, lawrence. these are not sophisticated people. a number of them are, you know, described as stupid. you see this random behavior around that. for viewers to watch this and unbundle some of this, donald trump jr. takes a meeting in trump tower with russians who are offering to give him dirt on hillary clinton that could help donald trump jr.'s father in his campaign. no one knows about that meeting until the spring of 2017 when "the new york times" begins reporting on it. when they do, the trump family puts out a cover story. they say the meeting was about adoption policy in russia. that slowly unravels. and then ultimately they have to admit that the meeting was about gathering compromising dirt on hillary clinton. the person dictating and no one has ever denied this, the cover story was donald trump on a campaign jet or air force one with other people around him, including hope hicks and evan--a ivanka trump. he believed the president knew about the meetin

if you put cohen up against the president, i take cohen. but, you know, who picks who once worked in the white house not so long ago denied that the president had any knowledge of payments. >> to karen -- to help keep quiet karen mcdougal quiet. >> and then a tape comes out seemingly donald trump on the tape discussing payments to who lord -- >> i think ami. >> to ami for the rights to the story. >> right. >> who can we believe in the president's orbit? w know we can't believe the president. if we can't believe him about this, what else can we not believe the president about? >> here's difference of cohen and paul mana-who is cohen -- the president thinks that cohen betrayed him. taped him. he's represented by lanny davis. >> yes. former clinton spokesperson. >> exactly. the fact the president sees it as a betrayal, i think that's a key difference. >> just to add a word about skepticism for michael cohen, remember, that tweet you just showed you showed earlier praising donald trump jr. for denying that his father knew about the trump tower

. >> thank you, president breed -- >> president cohen: cohen, baby, cohen. not an insult, but -- >> it's been a long budget season. >> president cohen: it has been.
