Thank you. A couple of things and first of the all and not to throw water on the giants and i was there for gave seven and it was a terrific night but i took muni back that night and after riding Public Transportation in many cities we need to have clean secure trips for passengers. Some of the tunnels are long and people were in there with the belongings and blocking the area and aggressive panhandling and when you go to the stockton street and by yourself on the narrow tunnel and hard to get through and people are occupying areas, and i hope that we can look into this. Muni i understand got additional funding and one of the first things they should use it for in conjunction for bart is better security in their stations if they want riders to feel safe when they ride it at evening or any other time but other than that everything has been great. I do want to mention a couple of other things. First of all subcommittee for secretary search, the two chairs or president s of that subcommittee, myself and dan masuta from the Historic Preservation commission had a meeting with representatives from dhr yesterday to try to work on an issue that we have been grappling with with the classification of the job being offered regrettably to replace linda avery as our commission secretary, and i am happy to report we are continuing to meet on that subject and we hopefully we can work that out to everyones satisfaction. We have another meeting scheduled for tuesday, and i also want to say and you all probably know this already it is lindas last day, and were going to be very sad, and it wont seem the same without her, but its what she has and needs to do and we certainly appreciate all the years of service and particularly i served with her over ten years now and its been wonderful. Thank you. Well, i want to take this time and continue that on. This is an important day for the Planning Commission and the Planning Department and its lindas last day in that seat. After 31 years of doing this, and i cannot i of doing this for two years and given up thursday nights for two years and i cant believe doing that for 31 years, but linda help build this commission, this department, help build this city. The card youre going to receive is actually a skyline of San Francisco and my comment is you had a large hand in how that skyline looks and i think its fitting. On behalf of the commissioners i am sure they will have comments on their own. This is a photo taken by one of your own commissioners here. I will let that person identify themselves but she is to my right, but this is a photo to keep of city hall wherever that maybe at a home office or wherever and thank you and congratulations. Thank you. [applause] of course i am going to cry. Okay guys you know do i dont this well, but i just want to say thank you. Its been such a pleasure to not only serve the commission, the various commissions, but to serve the citizens of San Francisco, and of course again i dont do this well. I am crying forgive me, but i cant believe i cant even imagine a career they could have had that was better than the one i had so thank you. Thank you. Commissioner wu. Linda, i also really want to thank you. Weve only had the pleasure of working together for the last eight months but i couldnt have done it without you. I think becoming a commissioner on this commission is one of the hardest in the city and guided countless commissioners through the years. You have been a champion for the commission for the nndz of the commission, for the commission to assert its own important and that is important and also as a liaison for the public and helped them through the difficulty of the planning code and deal with the procedures of the Planning Commission so thank you. Commissioner moore. I like to say i like to thank you what you teach me and what you teach us every week and that is civil civic dialogue. I think youre an example for making this room a bright discussion, an informed discussion for everybody, and it is you holding all the strings of what is happening in your hands and doing that wisely every week. I only will say one thing about that picture. That was actually taken on the day when we celebrated i left my heart in San Francisco. Thank you. Commissioner hillis. Ive got the shortest tenure on the commission but worked on the Planning Commission for over a decade and i didnt realize until i came here the difficult and complex job you have and part of the reason is you do it so well and serve the staff and the public so well so thank you very much. You will definitely be missed. Its been my pleasure. Thank you okay thank you. Now f we can go forward to directors report, directors announcements and review of the events for the board of supervisors and board of appeals and the Historic Preservation commission. Thank you. Well, i must add my thanks on behalf of the staff for linda for the 31 years of service to the
