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 cou 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 workshops,

. >> supervisor cohen: and you worked with ms. calvillo? >> supervisor fewer: yes. and we had an independent body. i was not on that body. i interviewed personally the top two candidates and, actually, i wanted to explain to the board that we did go through a process of a workshop presented by california lafco on what lafcos have done and also through a workshop discussion we have decided on a couple of issues that they're looking to explore. we're keeping the money in the budget because we may have to -- we're continuing work with the p.u.c. also on clean energy. and also looking into other issues that lafcos have looked into in the state of california and what our own lafco has decided to delve deeper into. >> supervisor cohen: ms. calvillo, want to pivot back to you, changes in the budget. talk to me about the changes to lafco. i understand the management change, so i assume that the fund appropriation is an enhancement from where we were last year and years before? >> so in february, because lafco had not reviewed their budget -- they don't usually until may --

and here's just one samplech this is f mel cohen trying toet ms.evision and denyn affair with predent trump. here's the text message. quote, i have her tentatively scheduled for hannity tonight, call me after your trial. i'm trying to get her to commit for tomorrow. with me now ms. daniels' current attorney, michael avena you'reking about collusion with regards to these text messages. michael cohen writes to davidson, quote, cohen texagn, men all bieve the story is dying. don't think it's smart for her to do anything.davidson respond. you're saying they were essentially working together, because don't lawyers often communicate even if they're on the opposite side? >> anderson, you're right. lawyers often communicate when they're on opposite sides, but they're not sube workinogether when they're supposed to be representing adverse clients. and at this pointettlement was supposed to be executed back in 2016. there was no reason for keith davidson to be communicating with michael cohen. and if you look at the text messages attached to the lawsuit, the

supervisor cohen: ms. rosenberg, do you have a on my screen.or us? >> supervisor cohen: i'm sorry, you don't have a handout? a andout.yedo have as you know the board makes a wide range of determinations for city boards and commissions and our mission is to provide a final administrative review process in a fair, efficient and expeditious manner before an impartial panel and we are a very small department, we have five board members. the department head, myself a legal assistant three legal erkproc we have five full-time employees. our strategic goals, just to give you a brief summary to ce the apal for participants, make it more cessib the public and through the increased use of technology.goa two is to fosteforcrk opmen we arsmall, so we cross trin our employees to be able to perform all functions and goal threis to analyze and amend the board's rules of procedures to modernize the a process. we have two revenue sources. our primary source is through su those represent 94% of our revenue and those are collected on new and renewed permit applications.

ms. daniels and her lawyer, between mr. cohen and ms. daniels, her whole camp, all this is likely to come out and it could have political implications for the trump administration. >> danny, i want to read you two quotes. this is rudy giuliani at this financial panel today in israel on the subject of stormy daniels. quote, "i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. on the subject of melania and stormy daniels, she believes in her husband. this is the first lady. she knows it's not true. i don't even think there's a slight suspicion that it's true. when you look at stormy daniels, i know donald trump, look at his three wives. beautiful women, classy women, women of great substance. stormy daniels?" in the hours since he delivered those comments, it's been called misogyny. it's been called kind of a drive-by attack. sexism. character assassination. what else is going on here? are you surprised that the president's lawy

cohen about my new involvement representing ms. daniels and about the fact we were getting ready to file a lawsuit. >> but clearly cohen is trying to pressure daniels -- stormy daniels to get her to deny the affair but stormy had already signed a nondisclosure agreement so why wouldn't cohen push for that? why is there wrongdoing? >> no, don, there's clear wrongdoing. first of all, michael cohen has previously claimed that he thought my client at all times was a liar and he just paid her $130,000 to go away. how do you square that explanation with him then attempting to get her to go on the shawn hannity show on the 17th of january? and if you look at the text messages it's clear michael cohen is begging to put her on shawn hannity. %-p between mr. davidson and mr. cohen. and then, of course, the last message is one you referenced where mr. cohen says that the wise men have concluded that it's better if she doesn't go on the show. so how can michael cohen and the president now claim that at all times they thought she was a liar, tha

i will concur with the statements made by supervisor cohen and ronen on ms. elias. i'm really excited to see you on the commission. very excited to see a strong woman who clearly has a clear platform and concepts and ideas on how we can improve police-community relationships and make this the best police department in our country. so i'm happy to support the two nominations moving forward today. finally, my last plea -- not having been able to attend the rules committee -- please keep the meetings where the public can attend. i was disappointed that the meeting was moved so that testimony cannot be taken. i know it's difficult to listen to the many and variety of passionate opinions that people have and sometimes it gets -- it's hard. it gets very difficult, but i really believe it's our duty to be there and to be as accessible as possible and i really believe the two commissioners will ensure transparency and public access. >> supervisor breed: thank you. supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: i want to thank my colleagues for their comments and for the hard work

. >> 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

cohen over messiness of the situation, especially those aspects oinvolving ms. clifford. but he's afraid if he pushes too far it increases the likelihood that cohen offers information to the government. this as a new report reveals cohen feels hurt by the lack of support he's received from trfamily. and we quote, earlier this year, he heard that eric trump was telling associates that he felt cohen was sloppy in the way he handled the daniels agreement. i feel like do quixote he said to people close to him. it's ruining my children's lives, it's worrying my wife's life. it's worst than a pit in your stomach. interesting place to start our discussion. with us to do that is john heilman, happens to be co-awe thr of "game ching" and "doubledown" and "the circus" on showtime in his spare time. jonl lamier and ashley parker, reporter for "the washington post." ashley, you're a stylist among stylists here. i would like to begin here. michael cohen had a vision of life far different from the life he's having in new york right now, living in a hotel because a pipe in his trump apar

ms. scott. >> supervisor yee usually has questions. >> i know supervisor cohen has communicated to me s supports you. >> as well as she has to me. i think the work you've done -- as we've talked about -- on the hunter's point shipyard cac will represent the work you're doing. the director of your department and i met the other day. i know she's meeting with a lot of supervisors to talk with them, or all the supervisors, to talk with them about the upcoming plan that will be presented on the shipyard and candlestick point. we just went to a ribbon cutting the otheray down for the sales force tower and that transportation hub. a lot of exciting things are happening under the purview of ocii. if you could just talk about what that means to you as someone who grew up a life long bayview, hunter's point shipyard. what does that mean to you to see the redevelopment in terms of your vision for the city? >> you really bring tears to my heart. i hope they don't flow and stop me, butathat means to me is the city communities that were under surged, overlooked, not given many chances throughout the years, l

ms. mcdougal to suppress her story. according to two sources, cohen'srate with prosecutors is, quote, a moving target and any decision would be weeks away, depending on what if any charges michael cohen will be facing. cnn's jeffrey toobin joins us now. as someone who knows more than most about ami and its inner working, i wonder what you make of this latest "wall street journal" story. >> it's not surprising that law enforcement would be interested in this subject. but it is also not clear whether any crime was committed by anyone here. david pecker, who was the ceo of american media, is a very close friend of donald trump. and when i interviewed him for "the new yorker," he was very open in saying we use "the national inquirer" to help donald trump get elected president, we were supportive of him. he was less clear on what the basis was of the $150,000 payment, because he didn't say it was a catch and kill story. he didn't say that they bought the story in order not to -- in order to suppress it, to help the trump campaign. he said they had other inte

cohen: supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, ms. callaghan. i just have a question around implicit bias. i was fortunate to take the 2-day training and i sent an email how fabulous it was and think everyone should be required to take it. every city employee, and school district, at least senior in high school should take it. i wonder if we place a requirement on our employees is that a work order or something d.h.r. would absorb in their budget. >> to train 35,000 employees is something we don't have the capacity to do. we have 4 staff, maybe 5, who are devoted to that. and it's done on a work-order basis, pretty much. our training program, not so much the online deliverables like the introduction to implicit bias but in-person is done, the department will say we want you to come do our training and we have a work order. it would be a pretty big lift to find and train the trainers and have a 16-hour or 8-hour training, there's a cost-benefit analysis if someone is, in our department comes in to proctor an exam and is a person that works less than 8 hours a week, is that something you wan

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.

. >> supervisor cohen: for what reason was it not included? >> yes, ms. kirkpatrick. >> thank you for the question. the perspective from the mayor's office was that i.t. services on this level should come from a city wide perspective and lens, and so not wanting to add kind of disparate c.i.o. roles across the city was the direction of the mayor's office. >> supervisor cohen: so saying that this project is not approved by coit. >> i don't know if it would need coit approval. i believe there has been some analysis done, and the sheriff can speak to that. >> the analysis was by the controller's office doing an audit of our i.t. unit, and i would just say that this is something that in our department you have to think of the jail particularly as being like a hospital in terms of the kind of data that we collect and that we use. and in the re-envisioning, one of the issues across the board was the ability of everybody to collect and be able to provide data for good decision making. so this is something that i was felt very strongly about to be honest with you

ms. campbell mr.n hulliber for their time and attention to the budget thi year. happy to answer questions. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. colleagues, do you have any questions? we have one. before you ask that question, i wan to give some port highlights. 30% of the budget, 30% buet increase in year 1 and 15% decrease in year two, minimal f.t.e. growth, like what, .87, and that has to do with -- >>nnn ofrior year positions. >> supervisor cohen: the budget is really driven by the seawall and ferrapts. both very important infrastructures that our city needs. go ahead, supervisor, and then hear from the b.l.a. shortly. >> supervisor fewer: i want to know if you have plans for expansion in work force progra >> work force development progra in particular, we are very conscious of the fact the seawall program, knock on wood, isg launch with i hopeapoval oo bond this november. and that that is going to be a very large opportunity for us in terms of work force development. we are very committed to developing a program, probably in partnership with the office of economic and work force development that really does, i

ms. daniels' former attorney, that's happening, you have active cases involving mike answer cohen. where does this go from here? >> we will continue to march forward and acquire the evidence and facts and documents to show exactly what happened here and we are going to disclose that to the american people so they can make their own judgment as to what happened and, you know, this isn't about the sex, it's about the -- it's about the cover up that took place at the hands of mr. trump and mr. cohen. look, i want to go back to something because i think this is really important. mr. trump fired mr. cohen and used him for over a decade as his personal attorney. if that doesn't reflect a tremendous lack of judgment, i don't know what does. mr. trump then turned around and hired most recently mr. giuliani to represent him and has now doubled down on his comments. if that doesn't reflect an absolute lack of judgment, i don't know what does. i mean, this president has no judgment when it comes to picking people. he promised the best and the brightest and we got these two guys. >> well, your

ms. clifford to lie tohe american public about her relationship with mr. trump. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? why did michael cohenake that if there was no -- >> you'll have to ask michael cohen. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> i don't know. >> and it claims president trump knew about the conversation between davidson and cohen because of this text. cohen wrote, the wise men all believe the story is dying and don't think it's smart for her to do any interviews. davidson writes, 100%. so which cohen replies, thanks, pal. cohen and davidson kept in communication according to the lawsuit, with cohen getting a heads-up that daniels was going to get a new attorney, michael avenatti and they were going public with a lawsuit. cohen went to mar-a-lago to meet with melania trump in order to get out in front of the approaching lawsuit and publicity. days before that first lawsuit was filed, michael cohen was at mar-a-lago when he texted davidson, we should speak. when davidson asked, you calling? he said with flotus, give me a minute. keith davidson's spokesman issued a statement tonight sayin

cohen: let me help you out here. accept supervisor yee's motion, add some clarity to it. we are going to amend for the, 1.ms 2 and 3, i would like tole ok. >> supervisor yee: actually, i was referring to items 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. and i guess there was some mmendaons for amendments, i'm just making a motion to accept those amendments. >> supervisor cohen: ok.well ta. >> clerk: the amendments regarding items 11, 12, and 13. in which the b.l.a. made recommendations to accept those items. >> supervisor cohen: that's what supervisor yee said and take it without objection. second by supervisor cohen, and without objection. any other motions or any other actions that you guys would like to take? >> supervisor yee: we have to make a motion to pass these items as amended. >> supervisor cohen: we do need to do that. also, if i'm not mistaken, mr. clerk, table item 1. >> clerk: i believe just taking the sfpc action, i believe it would be a motion to recommend items 8, 9, and 10. and to recommend items 11 12, and 13 as amended. >> supervisor cohen: all right, thank you. supervisor yee, i understand that's exactly wha

ms. daniel go on tv and lie. so we jus don't know based on this limited information. >> but none of it good for mr. cohenit's not good for mr. cohen mr. davidson. that's right. >> still ahead, the president wields his favorite unchecked power today, the pardon. and yet could it be like so many things with this president, it has less to do with helping people and everything to do with bob mueller? the first survivor of alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen. but we won't get there without you. visit alz.org to join the fight. with a $500,00nsurance policy. how much do you think it cost him? $100 a month? $75? $50? actually,duncan got his $500,000 for under $28 a month. less than a dollar a day. his secret? selectquote. in just minutes, a selectquote agent will comparison shop nearly a dozen hrated life insurance companies, and give you a choice of your five best rates. duncans wife cassie got a $750,000 policy for under $22 a month. give your family the security it needs at a price you can afford. stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish m

cohen: thank you. i have a question quickly. one thing that i did not see in here is -- maybe you could point out for ms your revenue. i see the budget suesnd the details and your fiscal year and the amou fivtors but how much do you spend to make this operation work? >> california academy of sciences has a $70 million annual budget and the city supports about $6.5 million of that and the revenues are made up of 55% ticket sales, abou sam the city and the rest from the fundraising and our enwmdoent. >> supervisor cohen: i have a question and i have attended many events and i understand that you rent out certain parts of the facility, is that right? >> that is correct. >> supervisor cohen: how much of your revenue is from this renting of the venue? bout million dollars a r. >> supervisor cohen: it's not mh ouhatit would be ore. >> we have to be careful that every event that we do is mission focused. >> supervisor cohen: that makes sense. that definitely makes sense. and one thing to sugest is that yoparerstnp that yo hino expand your outreach program, strategic partnerships with the department of the environment and th

ms-13. >> i suspect that, you know, not very many cases of that. if this is the rationale for it, it is overkill by a long stretch. >> we just reported michael cohen, attorney, might be willing to flip, might be willing to talk about his relationship with the president and things the president has done. how much of a risk would that be for president trump? >> well, i don't have any insight here, john. but i think potentially given michael cohen's long history as president trump's fixer that potentially i think, you know, raises the vulnerability for the president, the legal jeopardy, i would guess. but it is interesting that he has seen the reality of the situation and appears to be lawyering up with a competent defense attorney. >> on the subject of inside baseball, you said within the last 24 hours or so, you find it hard to believe that the president did not have any discussion with the likes of roger stone or perhaps others on their various meetings with russians during the campaign. it is only coming to light right now. do you have any inside knowledge of that or is it just speculation? >> well, no. this actually goes back to when i was still

ms. elias and she told me that rheched out to each of us aski toeet sev times. t w opportunity to meet over several weeks, that's on us numb tw i have to echo supervisor cohen i'm offen that a woman ate with a distinguished career as a public defender, as an attorney in the california bobor commissions office, isose career while she'sescrib her own qualifications for a police commissions seat. i think that is the epitome of sexism. i know there are many male police commission candidate who have had other types of conflicts who haveer bn questioned about their partners' careers and jobs and just find entire attack and the article in "the chronicle" absolutely insulting. n distinguished recordopeth that no one er asks me about my husbanareer when ipply for a seat on any body whatsoever. number three, this issue of it ing an lgbtq at. first of all, i'm very happy and er of the queer ssion s community. it is important and it gives me calm to know that that perspective from a lived experience is being valued and considered on the police commissi and while, you know, it woul great to have that lived experience in every position, that's not always possible. as a latin
