Today i rise to honor a bay area icon, a bay area legend, a bay area institution, jesus gomez. applause i grew up listening to the radio, and oftentimes it wasnt very interesting to listen to. And this is the person that made it interesting to listen to. The stories, the conversations, the excitement about the music, the excitement about the community, the excitement about the work was clearly articulated through tueys voice. And, so, when many people around the bay area heard that tuey was no longer going to be working at the radio station, you know, people were really sad. People were upset.

Ambassador carlos [speaker not understood] to come up. If you could stand at the podium, right there. I have to say that this is a bitter sweet moment for me. It is my honor and pleasure to recognize carlos felix, that it is a really sad day that we acknowledge that he will be leaving us in his role as the consul general of mexico. I am honored to present this commendation to ambassador carlos felix who today stands with you in these chambers as the consul general of mexico, a post that he has held since 2007. He, in fact, has been the Senior Member of the consulate core here in the city and county of San Francisco and he has been a leader not only in serving the Mexican Community in the city and county of San Francisco, but in serving the entire Latino Community and quite frankly the community at large. We are extremely sad that carlos has been assigned to another post in the Mexican Foreign service and its really hard to imagine the consulate core. Its really hard to imagine the Lati

Meeting in his honor today. Thank you, supervisor tang. Supervisor wiener. Thank you, madam clerk. Today i am calling for two hearings.

Animal care and control is a safety net agency. It doesnt get to pick and choose which animals it takes in. And, so, you have a lot of animals who are difficult to adopt out.
