. >> supervisor cohen: thank you to the police commission,nd thank you to kelly cohen. i will be presenting the department's slides that they presented just so i'm very clear. supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: can i ask for one data number? can we get the numbers of crime, attach a cost to assault, to burglaries, is there some way to get some data on that because our taxpayers are paying either way, and they can either -- we can either provide individuals to be on the street to prevent crime or we can have our residents of this city actually paying to repair car windows, to replace items stolen in burglaries, to pay for health care costs from assaults and other crimes. so i think we need to put that in balance and weigh the scale both ways. 'cause i hear from my residents, hey, i'm paying taxes, and i'm not being protected. and i'm a victim of a crime when i'm having to pay when there should be somebody preventing crimes. so we are talking dollars and cents. >> there are published reports, supervisor, and we will provide those. we will get those. >> supervisor co

cohen, we're only adding 150 officers. i had a slide, and it was in my presentation last week, that breaks out that 250 that you had requested, so i know that kelly is going to be presenting that to you, another breakdown, but it's 150 new positions over four years. >> supervisor cohen: 150 or 145? >> 145. >> supervisor cohen: so you want to add 145 new positions, and what is the cost of adding 145 new positions? >> it's approximately 21 million. >> supervisor cohen: right. so let's get back to what we're talking about on the budget committee, let's talk about the numbers. so we're talking about approximately $21 million, and let's put this in perspective. we've got home health care workers that many people have also advocates for, they're asking for $15 an hour, and they are asking for $34 million. we're talking about $21 million to add 145 new positions, and kelly, correct me if i am wrong, it does include retirement and benefits? >> yeah. in the budgeted costs there, it does include retirement costs on behalf of the city, however, the long-term retirement obligations for the entire life of the officer are incorporated into our five year financ

thank you very much. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor cohen: thank you, miss kelly. [please stand by] >> supervisor cohen: that captured a very large number of people. i recommend we increase funding for senior services to help seniors continue to live in their home and for workforce development. these are issues that my colleagues have highlight. i want to welcome any suggestion on how that funding could be more specifically -- should be more specifically allocated as they are fairly high levels. i suggest that we allocate more funding to mental health services. which i directed towards homeless individual and family. i would welcome any of your feedback if it should be more or less. i suggested a significant one time investment in year two for open voting. the elections commissions requested $4 million which would be matched -- actually i'm sor sorry, advocacy group requested $4 million matched by the state and department of election indicated they need to do more study over the remaining coming year to create a use or rollout plan for that money. that's why i am ho

kelly? >> supervisor cohen: 5.5 million is where we're at total. okay. thank you. thank you for that reminder -- over two years. supervisor yee? >> it's 4.9 for the first year. we're at -- [inaudible] >> okay. so -- you're correct. >> supervisor cohen: okay. supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: you asked me a question about the 125. that's actually not my request, when i think about it, because the funding i put in there was from last year, so that's already in there. and there was a commitment at the time that they would match it from last year's budget, so i don't know what this is for. >> supervisor cohen: okay. so thank you for that. what is the 125 workload study? 125,000? >> i'm sorry, can you repeat the question? >> supervisor cohen: sure. so my question was there's $125,000 allocated for a workload study, and supervisor yee indicated that that money was allocated in last year's budget, and there was an undering that you would match that allocation. now, we have before us a request for an additional 125,000 for a workload study. i was under the impression that

cohen: okay. thank you. we're going to hear from the controller who's going to be presenting a revenue letter, and then we're also going to hear a budget update from kelly kirk patrick. >> good morning, supervisors, mbers of the committee, chair cohen, thank you for having us. today my goal is to walk-through the high level policy proposals. i'll do a high level overview, review how we balance and got to zero for the two-year budget, go over some other highlights in t mayor's budget as well as something to look forward in terms of the next kind of phase. so high level, the mayor's proposed budget is $11 billion in each fiscal year. that's $900 millionore than 1718. that is attributable half to our enterprise rtmepa. they wlose twyear highlighting their budget, it's largely one time revenues or capital driving that growth, so about half of the budget remains as general fund, we consider about $3.3 million to be nondiscretionary, and what we mean is there are v maed baselines and set asides and voter entitlement programs that we act as something of a pass through. we consider 2.2 billion to be discretionary, but there's many salaries and allocated costs w

one in 19-20, and one in the third year. >> supervisor cohen: i'm just trying -- you'll be back on monday. kelly, do me a favor. i need you to write that down and have that in a table. >> happy to. >> supervisor cohen: so we can follow this. >> you bet. >> supervisor cohen: this is a very serious issues because when you're hiring officers, this is more than just a one-time expense. this is going to be a cost that grows exponentially as the officer continues to serve san francisco and therefore. thank you -- there after. thank you. this is absolutely incredibly important, and as i said, i'm just trying to understand the exact roundness number of 250, so i'm not quite there, chief. and the document that you provided is actually -- this document right here is very helpful because it helps me understand a little bit as to -- this is, like, best case scenario. if you had everything that you wanted, this is exactly how you would break people out and deploy your officers. >> correct. >> supervisor cohen: now i have some other questions when it comes to management. and i don't know -- i don't know all o

kelly, do you? >> supervisor cohen: no, you are right probably the most expedient is budget ppll e thank you, supervisor fewer has a question. > supervisor fewer: yes, thank you for your presentation. how much time do you th you spend on owner pass through petitions? >>s difficult to sa i ll say this, they are much more time consuming than tenant petition because there's no heap or illegal rent increase. you are really doinaudit on the operating cost of bung for two consecutive years. as you can imagine, it's many fold more complex than most other kinds of petitions but i don't have a specific number i could ve yo we have maybe, probably about 20-25% of our staff is probably devoted to processing those, even though the filings are significantly less than other kinds of petit.beca they are more intense? you have tg deepr. even though the filings are they are very time are less, consuming, each petition, is that correct? >> supervisor fewer, that's correct.alsaling with petition where there's many respondent tenants.u mighhave a petition f one building but there may be 30 tenants interested, want to look

cohen: thank you. >> thank you so much, city administrator kelly. i'm elaine forbes, port director. first i'd like to thank you, chairman cohen and members of the committee for having a hearing on this item. i would like to thank director kelley because she has provided a lot of the funding to keep the seawall project going. i'm very proud to represent the port staff and commission in what's really a milestone day for the port as we work together to protect our city by strengthening the embarcadero seawall. i ask that you place a 425 million general obligation bond on the november ballot to support the seawall earthquake safety and disaster prevention program. and if i could please move to the overhead. the seawall, as city administrator kelly said, is unseen, mostly. it's 100 years old and it's served our city and region very well over the last decade, but we now must make significant investment for the seawall to protect the next generation. this bond will strengthen the seawall, to protect the city from earthquake, address flood risk and provide current adaptation for sea level ri

cohen: okay. thank you. kelly, we have a question for you. supervisor stefani has one for you. >> supervisor stefani: yes. if you could just expand on what supervisor yee just said in terms of why it wasn't in the mayor's budget. it sounds like that request was made. >> on 18-19, there's the 15 that everybody is on board with, right? and then, there's the 700,000 that is in the mayor's proposed budget which gets to six new vehicles. you know, we do have a limited equipment budget, and we try our best to allocate to the extent we can, and so we were able to fund 21 in the mayor's budget, and so i believe we support the fire department's need for these vehicle replacements and the critical needs they've identified. >> supervisor cohen: do you have a question? supervisor yee -- i'm sorry, just give me a second. b.l.a., is there anything else you need -- any other remarks, still? okay. supervisor yee, can you make a motion, please? >> supervisor yee: i'd like to make a motion -- actually, i don't even know what the motion is. >> supervisor cohen:

it looks like threatening everyone from megyn kelly, who if you'll recall after the campaign after a very tough republican debate michael cohena tweet that said "we can gut her," referring to megyn kelly. he would go after people like that. but also smaller targets. people like tom wattic. a person we spoke to. he was a student at harvard who pulled a prank on mr. trump during the campaign, and he got a phone call from mr. cohen saying essentially that hey, i'm going to try to get you expelled. i'm going to sue you as well. so there was no target too big or too small for mr. cohen. and what we really get a sense of, right? is it was michael cohen's job more as a lawyer for donald trump or more as a fixer. someone who was willing to do almost anything in terms of legal threats to solve problems for mr. trump. >> there's also a little bit of new news. my understanding of the timing of when he sort of threatened stormy daniels or when he reached out to her or when that nda got signed. >> in the story what we report is that michael avenatti is making this allegation that michael cohen used threats, not physical threats but coerce

i kelly got into the plugs there for bloomberg intelligence. which is deserved course. mark cohentse 100 is often unloved and out of favor. doht now, i thought we would a focused chart. morgan stanley says look the on the fact they are loved and out of favor and look beyond all the brexit talk. brexit uncertainty, u.k. stocks often perform well as the global business cycle ages and benefits from high commodity price. also, morgan stanley says british companies are seeing the increase in buybacks and it bodes well according to their analysis. hence, morgan stanley sees a potential upside for the ftse at 10%. they were going for long european stocks for the ftse 100, given the use of the words cheaper evaluation and a more attractive strategy. i love the chart. it is showing the gap of the ftse 100 and the s&p 500. -- for thee ftse and s&p. overseas investors, morgan stanley said, should still hedge the foreign currency exposure for long-term uncertainty, as the brexit continues to weigh on the valuation multiples investors are willing to pay despite the week boosting earnings for m

cohen: excellent. thank you. i'd like to recognize miss kelly kirkpatrick. >> good morning, committee members. kelly kirkpatrick. in reviewing the budget, both of the controller's office on the technical end, there are a myriad of errors, coding errors, project codes that need to be adjusted, one-time costs that were accidently loaded as ongoing or vice versa. we have them outlined in the letter. the attached detailed sheet that outlines each of these changes is not with the letter at this time, but it will be submitted to you this afternoon electronically, and i believe it is the advice of the city attorney that you accept these, and perhaps we can wait until wednesday once the technical sheet has been provided to you for review and perhaps some other technical adjustments will be put to you at that time, as well. >> supervisor cohen: all right. do you want to walk us through the technical adjustments around 1:00? >> i'm happy to. would you like me to receipt the bullets? >> supervisor cohen: yes, just for the public. >> collecting entries in the public trust fund, correcting position entries

speak about their relationships with donald trump and even michael cohen, this was during the campaign and a lot of people forget the kellyebacle and retweeting threats to her. >> she said she was at a different company at the time and at this one now and she said that lead to her having to get extra security measures. that lead to people taking steps that reached that level. >> there is real life kwensz consequences to this. and donald trump would insult us and that had ripple effects to the audience that would throw things at us and follow us. this is really serious business. >> thank you both for your insights on this story and all of the permutations. up ahead, new mtv raps back on mtv and dr. jay and dj scribble. rob reiner and anthony. getting along so well. >> you know what, this is not planned, can you say something nice before we continue. >> he throws a nice dinner party. in las vegas. >> can you throw it back? >> i love the guy. we were together on the gay rights initiative. we worked hard. >> i want to to walk away from the sofas and we are going to debate what trump is doing for america in 60 seconds. >> i'm

cohen: so real quick, where is that request built into your budget? nonpersonnel services, equipment, or materials and supplies? maybe kelly kirkpatrick can answer that question. >> i don't know the answer to that specific question. apologies, but i did want to respond to the technology and coit question. >> supervisor cohen: yeah. sure. >> so this is the -- the technology request that paul was talking about are just basic kind of computer work or uind the threshold of a larger project that would fall under coit, but definitely within the scope of the d.h. work and therefore the work orders are funding that. >> supervisor cohen: so his request, has it been approved by coit? >> i don't believe it needs to meet the coit project given that it's not a new project, it's just given maintenance of existing operation. >> supervisor cohen: okay. we can go to the other side. i'd love to hear about the use of funds and the staff restructure. >> sure. >> supervisor cohen: the creation of an auditing in particular. >> this is really important because the staffing stuff is really important. the charter itself require that we have more s

kelly, a fox news host. and a harvard student said he got threatened by michael cohen, threatened to get him expelled from harvard a lawsuit against him because he pulled a prank on donald trump. so this is part of a long pattern and a history. >> just to be clear, did he know you were recording the conversation? did he know you were on the record? >> he knew he was on the record. what's really interesting about this is that i reached out to the campaign for comment. i didn't expect the lawyer from the trump organization to come and call me back. but he did and what you hear on npr.org is a seven-minute audio clip of our conversation. >> what did you do? you were calm through the whole thing and you kept saying, do you care to comment? what did you do, though, tim, when you put the phone down? >> i started writing up a transcript of our conversation and getting ready to put together a story. it's not uncommon to get hostile calls from folks when you're writing about politics. this one did seem a little extreme. >> this was the summer of 2015. why are you releasing this now? >> so much has happened between then an

cohen. this was during the campaign, and people forget the whole megyn kelly debacle and making threats to kellyn kelly. >> these with a different company now, but she said that led her to having to get extra security measures, that it led other people to take those steps at that level. >> donald trump would insult us and that had ripple effects to his audience. they would throw things at us, follow us, and so this is really serious business. >> gwenda blair and liz, thank you for your stories. >>> we have dr. j and d dj skribble. look at rob reiner and anthony scaramucci. >> now we're getting along, but on the air he's going to hit me terribl terribly. >> rob, this is not planned, but can you say something nice about the mucc before we get started? >> anthony, can you throw it back? >> we worked heavily on the gay rights issue. we worked a lot together. >> i want you to walk together and we'll talk about the tape when we come back in 60 seconds. yielded to no one. when i found you in my dna, i learned where my strength comes from. my name is courtney mckinney, and this is my ancestrydna story.

. >> supervisor cohen: this year, we're asking for people to make budget allocations for $2 million. kelly kirkpatrick, if you could verify that. that's $1 million over -- $1 million for one year, correct, for last year's process? she's looking it up. she will get back to us. let's pivot to your other -- >> supervisor sheehy: sure. again, i would say that we can have that conversation one of the arguments that i was looking at is that sometimes at least the way it's been in terms of the requests that have come in, some of the different budget priorities shift given the fact that some departments that work with different organizations don't necessarily -- we don't see the same type of budget priority request, if there's been that target over two years and then a different request this year, for instance. an example would be, that we were working to fund transitional youth employment intervention work, so we worked with the department of children, youth and families on that last year. we're now pretty solid in terms of moving the conversation forward. we don't see the same level of request t

cohen. we are pleased to present the d.h.r. budget. and before i do that, i do want to thank the mayor's budget office, laura bush and kelly kirkpatrick and harvey rose, -- campbell and our analyst monica whom we will be working closely over the next week or so. and i primarily want to thank my team at d.h.r. for their work everyday to advance our mission. mission is to use fair and equitable practices to hire, develop, maintain a quality workforce. a few high-level points to make. our strategic goals are listed here for you, but i want to highlight the ones tied to our major initiatives. first is to champion diversity, fairness and equity. second to maintain top talent while shaping the future workforce and using technology to coordinate and improve service delivery and make information accessible. this is the #metoo era, as we know. in san francisco, like many other places, that means we have an increase in sexual harassment claims. we hope it doesn't mean there's an increase in bad behavior. we think it may be related to greater awareness on the part of both supervisors and employees on the rights and obligations to report inapprop

from the board budget gislative analyst office, kelly and chris from the mayor's budget anal,nd pleaseday we accn and have no challenges. >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much for being here. colleagues, do you have any other questions for the department of the environment? all right. thank you. we can take public comment -- actually, no. we'll move on, already taken public comment. >> clerk: public comment has been taken on these items already. >> supervisor cohen: mr. rose. >> you want to hear our report on the environment? >> supervisor cohen: yep, waiting to hear it. >> on page 25, our recommended reductions to the budget total 194754, and 18-19. of that amount, 94,300 ongoing savings, 100,454, 1-time savings, and for 19-20, recommended reductions total 94300, and all of those are ongoing savings. and as i understand, the department does concur with the recommended reductions. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i have a question for the director. it has to do with the solid waste contract. specific, what does the solid waste contract recommended for reduction do? >> specifically, illegal? dumping-related? >> i'm just trying to find tha

cohen has threatened in that way? >> i think definitely not. i mean, the story that we wrote here on npr.org talks about this long-time pattern of threats. everyone from megyn kelly who asked testify questions of donald trump at a republican presidential debate to smaller fish like a student at harvard who tried to pull a prank on donald trump and got a call from cohen threatening to try to get him expelled from college. we have people from a former miss usa contestant, univision with a lawsuit launched against them. this is part of a long history and pattern of michael cohen making legal threats in order to try to fix perceived problems for his boss. >> how effective were the tactics? >> it's hard to say, because a lot of the time we don't know who's been silenced by the threats. a lot of these things are kept hidden and behind the scenes. that's why the audio is interesting. we get a sense of how in private michael cohen likes to operate and how at least at the time the trump organization operated. we have this reporting in which michael avenatti, stormy daniels' tells us, hey, when michael cohen got her to sign the nda, there were threatening, coercive languag

cohen: thank you very much. we're going to move on to the mayor's budget and hear from miss kelly kirkpatrick. >> thank for your presentation. you can begin. i have the c.f.o. for the mayor's office of housing and community development. we are in agreement with the b.l.a. policy recommendation and i am here to answer any questions you might have about the budget. >> we recommend reductions totalling $75,000 in 2018-2019. they are all one-time savings. the reductions would increase of 37.6% of the 18-19 budget. in addition, as she mentioned, it will be recommended to place on reserve and depending the results to dedicating the funding of cultural districts and also we recommend closing out prior unexpended at $154,688 which with one-time savings of $200,000 for total general funds savings and we do not recommend that with $3,100,000 on budget and finance reserve for the second year. and with the>> supervisor cohen: and i understand that supervisor f fewer has detailed questions with the office of mayor's and can you give me the exact office? this is mayor's office and it is a bit fluid. that number is dependent
