No speaker cards. We have oscar james. You know im going to say something. It has been an honor to watch commissioner singh, and a sad moment for him leaving. Im sorry i came in late, but he has been a tremendous asset to this commission and to the community of the Western Addition, and the city as a whole. We are going to really miss him. Between him, leroy king and benny he, they were the three musketeers. They made sure that the city benefited from and major minorities played a significant part in whatever transpired in the city. If it werent for him and commissioner king, and i dont know where this agency would have been. I hate to see him go. He is like a brother to me. A big brother. I love him and i wish him all the best, happiness, and success that he can muster for him and his wife. Thank you, mr. Singh mrs. Singh, for letting him come to these meetings.

God bless you, my brother. Thank you very much. We have one more. My name is doris spencer. I am a resident of bayview Hunters Point. I would like to acknowledge those that are leaving us today. I chose to speak on mr. Singhs behalf because i have watched this commission change and change and change. Mr. Busta is now the oldest commissioner, i dont mean age wise. [laughter] mr. Singh, i expected to see him up there today. I retired in 1996 and ive spent many hours in this room over those years. Because of my aging and arthritis killing me, i still go to the meetings in our community , but i rarely come before you guys. I think that i can do what i need to do in the community, rather than come before you, but mr. Singh has been a blessing to San Francisco, but especially to bayview Hunters Point, and we love him, and we wish him well, he and his wife. For those who are listening, and those that are here, when you have giants that come before and speak on your behalf, you know you are doing the right thing. Madam secretary . Number speaker cards. Number speaker cards. I will close Public Comment and i will turn to my fellow commissioners for a motion as well as comments. To mr. Singh, i have to back up a little bit if i may. Ive learned a lot from you and you have modelled nothing but excellence. I appreciate it, i appreciate all that you have shared and all that you have displayed during your character for justice. And for productiveness in the city. Thank you so much. I move that we adopt the resolution that has come forth. I would like to second the motion and out also like to say thank you. You, too for me, where one of the original crew you were the anchor for the commission, i had never been a commissioner before , and certainly i knew about the reDevelopment Agency and you provided history and that anchor and this stability of the best to understand where the commission has come from so we have a better sense of where they have come from. I also want to thank you for being a steadfast supporter of minority and women businesses, and i want to echo the comments from the community because i know that your work in the bayviews Hunters Point was very impactful. I think everything that has been said here, i concur with. I am just taking this from an emotional standpoint. It has been a pleasure. It has been an honor to work with you. I lucked out. This is my first role as an executive person on a commission for me to come to a commission, where i loved everyone, and i remember working with the three musketeers, and some of the others that have left, it was just a blessing, and it is due to having that continuity from all of your development and to you, and having all the new members join. I wanted to say thanks for adopting me as your daughter, and thank you for making it a pleasure. It was an easy decision for me to transition, and the same with commissioner marily mondejar. I definitely will miss you both and will promise to continue to continue your legacy. We are thankful that we have amazing commissioners that will help us through that. I want to echo from my team. Thank you for your leadership. I would like to make a brief comment before we take a vote today. As one of the newest commissioners on this commission i want to say how proud i am to be sitting in this space of privilege with so many of you previous commissioners being here before me. I used to be on the other side and seeing how contentious sometimes the meetings would get so being able to be here as part of the newer group, but also having a historical context. I hope to have as big an impact as both of you have had. Thank you. I was appointed by mayor newsom and the composition of the board to, or the commission at the time, this was called the reDevelopment Agency. We had london breed, we had Darshan Singh, rick sway, myself and commissioner leroy king. It was an amazing, amazing time to be in redevelopment, not because it was an agency that had a good history, but it wasnt agency that needed to fix its history and it was an agency that wanted, especially with the staff and the commission, we wanted to right the wrongs about what happened it was exciting because people like commissioner saying and commissioner leroy king that kept pushing us to do the right thing where we, or are we ever perfect . No, but i can tell you that commissioner saying and commissioner king really challenged us to be the best and to do the right thing. I am eternally grateful for you, commissioner singh, because you kept pushing this, and it is a good thing. So, you know, i appreciate everyones patients, but it is important that we honor people for their work because that informs the next generation of people who will come after us, and hopefully we will do the right thing.
