and ms. cohen was one of my students.aking the time. my question is, who do you trust your money with? as an individual, i'm very careful with my money. i don't bank with big banks with unethical practices that led to the 2008 financial crisis, prefer, to keep my money in safer, local banks. i don't take crazy risks with my money. i don't pay huge fees to my financial advisor. my family's money is available for re newable energy and housing for the elderly. as a long-time san francisco resident, i want to make my city do the same. big banks like bank of america with the lion's share of the city's deposits cannot be trusted to handle our money ethically or responsibly. they invest in the worst industries, prisons, gun manufacturers, fossil fuel companies. bank of america leads the banking industry in fines. since 2008, it topped the list at $76 billion, guilty of mortgage abuses, consumer protection operations, price fixing and fraud and yet we continue to bank with them. they gamble with other people's mind and their exec

>> correct. >> president cohen: ms. sharma, what is your role? >> regional manager of -- >> president cohen: i'm confused why the captain is talking about an administrative function. >> to explain -- i'm the regional manager for americas, in charge of our operations here. the operating crew and the flight crew, they're basically india-based crew and that's a separate department altogether. i -- my co-specialty is sales and marketing and commercial and i oversee our operations. the commencement of our san francisco operations was when i was regional manager. >> president cohen: thank you very much. >> that's why the captain -- they're the specialists in their field and that's why i pass on the questions. >> president cohen: i understand. i misunderstood that you were a specialist. my apologize, kapcaptain. >> so basically, i'm in charge of the hotel policies and selection of hotels in the u.s. and all over the world. so in case the problem was addressed so i would be the best person to answer your queries regarding that. >> president cohen: thank y

she came in last night. >> president cohen: let me ask you, captain, and ms. sharma, which hotel stay in? >> the hyatt. >> president cohen: how do you determine what hotels you stay in? >> i have my captain from the hotel committee. >> president cohen: do you want to share with us how that is considered? >> the process is basically transparent. we have a tender on air india website, getting the conditions that we require, 24-hour room service, and various other conditions. and then the replies come in and the tender process is transparent, because it's a technical bid and financial bid, both sealed and separate. so we do a technical evaluation of all of them, every single one. and we find them fit for various conditions, regarding crew rest and safety. >> president cohen: the hotel you stayed in, the hyatt, was that in san francisco? >> yes, in san francisco. >> president cohen: thank you very much, captain. colleagues, supervisor fewer has a few questions. >> supervisor fewer: yes. you mentioned that a maximum b.m.i. rate -- ms. sharma, i heard the maximum b.m

if you tell ms. cohen i was going to salute her. have a good day norman. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> the golden state warriors are suing the city of oakland in an attempt to get out of paying a $40-$50 million bond debt for oracle arena. this is not right. but when you consider the fact that san francisco is a party to this, it makes it worse. the arbitration hearing began yesterday. though it will be a week or two before we know the results, consider this. the warriors were purchased for $450 million in 2010. they are now valued at $2.6 billion. with such success, why are the warriors being so cheap and miserly against the city that had supported it for decades? for san francisco's role, the fact that the racist actions that helped facilitate the warriors move to san francisco will not be rewarded. the golden state warriors would not play one game in san francisco once its revealed how racist this move was. [buzzer] and i say that this board should be ashamed of itself for its participation. a wo

i would like to thank ms. cohen. the health code currently allows one 90-day extension. this proposal would amend the health code to allow for additional 90-day extensions. this is necessary to transition our dispensaries to adult-use sales and move them to the office of cannabis. it has allowed them to stay in operation and remain in compliance while supporting the broad broader equity goals. further, while we'll continue to build the regulatory apparatus and open our system. this ordinance could affect 55 article xvmcds. 38 of them are retail store fronts. 38 operators have been provided an extension to date. we're going to see an increase in need in the future. these medical cannabis dispensaries have supported the equity goals and the temporary operati operation. you can find this on the equity page. examples of benefits of the goals are cultivation classes for equity applicants. excuse me. supporting employees through mentoring, training, and technical assistance, including business plan development and raising capital from investors. holding resume-writing workshop

. >> president cohen: ms. wong, the floor is yours. congratulations. supervisor tang wants to speak. >> supervisor tang: i want to echo the comments made by supervisors safai and yee and honor you as someone who is a district 4 residents. this world is more complicated than we wish it would be and it often comes with so many challenges, especially when it comes to funding and you've always been someone who is able to explain the issues to all of us as policy makers and figure out how we move things forward in a positive way. so all of that to benefit families and children. so i want to thank you for your decades of service. i can't blame you for wanting a children in your life. i'm doing the same. hope to see you again in the community beyond this. >> president cohen: all right, ms. candace wong. >> thank you. this is actually getting a little embarrassing. i think, you know, you know, i have been working almost 30 years, but close. i appreciate supervisor safai for recognizing me today and for all of you. the early education work is core to my heart a

ms. cohen's suggestion that she's worried about surveillance capitalism monopolies is one of the most hypocriticalhings i've ever heard in my life. because e.f.f. constantly funded by google -- cindy: oh, jeez. >> fronts for google on all the issues they don't want to have their name on. like sesta. they want to stop online sex trafficking bill, kill it. >> we got it. -- thankshn braided , john. so bars where everybody thinks the same and surveillance monopoly platforms. but on the question of -- i think it is interesting because the internet was going kind of give us -- but it's allowed us to cocoon ourselves with all the things that we like to support us. steve: is there a way to breakthrough that that is there and to the degree if you want to respond to john there, i think the broader question is, how you get the balance right, i suppose in terms of governance and the power of some of these institutions. cindy: let me start with the attack. and then we'll get to the other thing. if finances are public, you can look. i got a $14 million budget last year and i got $85,000 from google. if you thin

ms. davis. >> mr. cohene romanian hacker that formed the basis of the most recent indictments against russian operatives that were attacking our democracy and our electoral system. if she had a close relationship to mr. stone it would make sense he would want to talk to her, to find out what she knows, to confirm or deny the other pieces of information they have, which i'm sure is mountain of. i was also in the white water investigation, a much smaller thing than now, but what happens behind the scenes is very different than what's public. >> howard, you have reported on roger stone for some time, including on this show. what are you learning tonight? >> well, i texted with roger stone a little while ago, and he sent me a reply in which he described this as harassment. he said, and i can read it if you want. >> sure. >> hold on one second. >> i think we have a version of it if you go ahead and read it. >> he said have you lost your sense of humor? that was his opening to me. kristen davis has been a friend o

cohen: okay, thank you. captain, thank you very much. i appreciate your time. colleagues, i would like to make a motion -- ms. sharma? >> sorry, chairperson cohen. 5 also wanted to clarify one thing. in our contract that we float, the tenders we upload, one basic requirement is we follow all the local laws and, of course, india laws. we do not go against any local laws. we follow local laws. now if any hotel is banned from doing business or is not permissible, we would abide by it. so it is -- that's also part of the contract that we go as for the local laws. >> president cohen: all right. i appreciate that. thank you very much. all right. no, captain. we're doing. thank you. we have to move on. we have a lot of things to get through. this is not the only item on the agenda. okay. thank you. i would like it make a motion to approve and send to the full board, approve the lease and use agreement to the full board. any other discussion? >> supervisor fewer: roll call vote, please. no. >> supervisor stefani: yes. >> president cohen: yes. motion passes. thank you, ladies and gentlemen, item 11. >> clerk: resolution approv

cohen had actually discussed buying the rights to ms. mcdougal's story from the enquirer, a move that would have reimbursed the newspaper's payments to her. that payment was never made, mr. giuliani said, adding that mr. trump had told mr. cohen that if he were to make a payment related to ms. mcdougal, to write a check rather than send cash so it could be properly documented. earlier tonight, reporter emily jane fox of "vanity fair" reported those close to cohen are disputing some of these giuliani comments. >> some of the details about -- that were reported today by mr. giuliani or described by mr. giuliani are in direct contrast with what people around mr. cohen have said. in fact, the issue of who brought up paying for something in cash versus who brought up paying for something with a check is directly opposite in the two views. >> so giuliani is saying that part of this reason this is exculpatory that the president wanted to pay for check rather than cash. >> because it's transparent to do so. >> and from the other side people were

rudy giuliani, he said that the discussion on the tape was about whether michael cohen himself should make a payment to ms. mcdougal. then a couple of hours later, he says i want to clarify that. what we are talking about is whether cohen should buy the rights to mcdougal's story. this is especially important. let's remember that the "wall street journal" broke the existence of the secret deal, the deal to keep the story quiet a few days before the election. and the trump campaign said we know nothing about it. and now we find this tape exists and suddenly they are talking about it. >> a substantive conversation occurred. we are going to get to the legal implications in a moment. first i want to talk to you about what rudy giuliani's interesting spin has been. he says in the big scheme of things, it's powerful exculpatory evidence. that may not be the same conclusion that everybody else comes to. but what do you think he means by that? >> his view is that the president was saying, if you are going to make a payment, you should make a payment by check and not by cash so there is a record of it. and that pr

ms. hyatt? i thought maybe commissioner cohen might have some questions for you, but she is off the floor. so why don't we open this up to public comment. is there any members or members of the public that would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed and commissioner cohen has no questions so thank you for your report. and with that, we will read the next item. >> item 16, investment report and debt expenditure report for the quarter ended june 30, 2018. this is an information item. >> ms. fong? >> this is typically the time when we report back on our quartzly investments and quarterly debt reporting and assets and liabilities. since we're approaching the close of june 30, 2018, we'll be reporting out our financial information later in november when we complete the annual fiscal audit. today aye like to report out how we're doing in our investments. as of june 30, 2018, we have approximately $43.6 million of cash sitting in the bank. 47% of the funds are invested in the city and county treasury pool. we alsos have sufficient liquidity in funds in terms of meeting our fiscal

. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: ms. rose? your policy question here ask for i think 25. >> it's 25 for the first fiscal year 25.65 full time equivalent positions. when you annualize that supervisor, it would amount to 100 positions for each year. 25 for each year but again, annualized -- >> it's 25 in each year supervisor? for 18-19, 25.65, and 19, -- >> supervisor yee: that's 50. >> it's 25.65 in 18-19. does that make sense? >> supervisor yee: no. >> the budget that you're seeing has partially funded positions in each year because of the hiring date of those positions. the total increase in each year would be 50 new police positions or 100 total new position. >> supervisor yee: this 25 or 26 for 18-19 represents 50? >> right. >> supervisor yee: okay. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer is going to ask a couple of questions. i think your questions for the b.l.a. after this round of questions we're going to pivot to the chief who's get a presentation on why he needs all these officers. >> supervisor fewer: my question is jus

in a raid on mr cohen's offices, fbi agents apparently seized a secret recording in which mr trump discussed with his lawyer the possibility of paying money to keep mston for a weekend at one of his golf clubs without answering that question. but payments to bury embarrassing stories about an election candidate could potentially be seen as breaking campaign finance laws, although his representatives insist that no cash was actually handed over. in a statement, michael cohen's own lawyer said... donald trump's political opponents are also still trying to discover exactly what he said to vladimir putin during their private meeting in helsinki, amid the controversy over plans to invite the russian president to the white house this autumn. they believe there's a possibility that mr trump's own words could yet come back to haunt him. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. roads, ports and airports are set to be extremely busy this weekend as millions of us embark on our summer getaways. with schools in england and wales breaking up for the summer, there could be lengthy delays as more than nine million road journeys are expected to be made between friday a

cohen saying that and maybe they would buy it back from american media and david pecker. here is what giuliani told "the new york times." the men discussed a piemt from trump to ms. mcgoogle. later he said that mr. trump and mr. cohen had actually discussed buying the rights to her story from the even quirer, a move that would have reimbursed the newspaper for its payments to her. are there problems for her. if so, what are they? >> these tapes will speak for themselves. once prosecutors looked at them, prosecutors will know what they say and what they mean. and that's really all that matters here. we're seeing rudy giuliani coming out again in public like he has with many other developments in this case, trying to put a public spin on this, hoping perhaps to persuade the public so that if impeachment proceedings begin, they won't go very far. prosecutors don't care about any of that. they just care about the hard enough. and these tapes which have already been made say whatever they say. at some point the government will evaluate whether that is part of the evidence that they might use to prove a federal crime. perhaps they will ask mr. cohen to cooperate with th

cohen: ok. thank you. i wanted to see if the police department wanted to, particularly ms. miss mcguire, no? chief? ok. the mac good morning supervisors. this is the first that we've heard of these cuts. >> supervisor cohen: yes, i know it's been not just on the surface, we don't agree with any of them. and some of them are tied to our reform efforts. there needs to be some discussion on many of them. but on the surface we don't agree. i know catherine asked for the details on it. >> supervisor cohen: bright. >> supervisors, we explored some of these options in partnership with the budget and legislative analyst and we decided they were not appropriate cuts for the department as well. i can go into more specifics and provide michael moore justification fomorejustificatic cuts that were just outlined, however i think, you know, we go through a process that is quite protracted and we have a lot of discussion with the b.l.a. and timed to research on our side, aand time to research on their side. i think, given the timeline, it is just something that we can't agree with. >> supervisor cohen: ok. thank you.

cohen that if we were to make a payment related to ms. mcdougal. the idea that there is somebody this close to donald trump, the idea that he recorded this conversation and now potentially more conversations, is that something that was ever you think was ever on donald trump's radar? >> hes is quoted in saying he s very surprised. trump spent most of his career threatening business acquaintances. and a lot of times that was bravado. trump had people in his orbits who are fixers. i don't know legally how much this issue with the payments are going to come home to roost for the president in the way that is actually threatening to him. i don't think campaign law violations. what does he know about russia. trying to get a new hotel built in moscow. there are all these odd little moments which michael cohen is intercepting around the russian issue. that is what mueller is looking at. trump's inner circle intersecting with russians or russian cutouts to influence the outcome of the 2016 campaign. >> that is the bigger picture. michael cohen giving this i

. >> you said on ms nbc in the past few days that you don't see a reason for michael cohen to lie. that struck me because michael cohen is under federal criminal investigation should he be charged, he would have cause to lie, no? >> well, not if you believe that if he continued to lie that the president might pardon him as has been rumored over and over again. he had to make that political calculus for himself. neither michael cohen or president trump are reliable sources and director mueller will have to rely upon a body of evidence, this just being one element of it. >> let's talk about the party going forward. you know, when you look at what democrats should run on in the midterms and in 2020, there is increasing evidence that americans' faith in robert mueller has declined, gone from 48% in march down to 41 most recently. should this be a warning sign to your fellow democrats saying don't run on this, don't make this issue number one if you're trying to win your race? >> poppy, i don't know of a single democrat anywhere in america who is running on the basis of the russian inve
