He is responsible for recording of attendance and enforcement personnel and making sure all the diverse duties our pcos are responsible across the city are filled every day. Richard played a key role during superbowl city making sure the scheduling and duployment was done for pco coming in for role call until 5 a. M. Working 12 to 14 shifts.

No matter what the assignment, rirchered demonstrates professionalism and enthusiasm in his work. [applause] congratulations. On behalf of the agency thank you for outstanding work. Would you like to say a few words . Nobody is smiling. I just want to say thank you for the recognition. [applause] finally, it is my bad duty to say after all most 4 years of drether of Enforcement Unit cameron [inaudible] is retiring this week. Cam is especially is known a a asset to the agency and manages a Diverse Group of over 200 front line staff making sure that they are safe in the field and have the resources they need to do their jobs and making sure that they get the job done. He is is also a important contributor to policy discussion about topics like commuter shuttles and sf parks. He brings together the policy side of the agency. Cam and his team have done a great job at daily Parking Enforcement and making sure the perking ruleerize observed and so many cities special events. America cup, superbowl city and outside lands. One of the things that is a hall mark of cams leadership is willingness to go in the field and see how the team is doing and challenges and successs they are working under. He would be in weekends during the americas cup. I saw him out during superbowl city, outside lands talking to pco and finding what they needed and making sure they are able it do their jobs. In addition to be a terrific manager, cam is excelled represented sfmt sarks stakeholders. Come can meet withneric jz community organization, a elected official, a trade group and explain the policy, get feedback and be the empthetic ear we need. Spirfck example is on sth crooked portion on luck bard street over the last 3 years cam is so involved many of the residents know his phone number and call him at all hours and tell when there is a issue and there are often issues. One of cams strengths is connect with people and meeting with people on a regular basis outside of specific obligations and be able to have what staff described as calm one on one conversations and being in San Francisco in 2016 have a calm conversation btd traffic is a accomplishment. I think one thing that stands out is the degree to which he respected and admired by staff who says have one of the toughest jobs in San Francisco. Last week i met with assistant director enforcement and asked what qualities they would like in the new director and we talked for a while and finally one said can you just clone Cameron Sammy please. That is a high praise. He is known for being hands on and having ear to ground and not afraid to put the uniform and gloves on and direct traffic. He has gone through all the training enforcement officers have gone through so knows both the challenges and successs that the officers face in the field. Like i say on behamp of everyone in the team we will miss cams terrific professional work and on behalf of the city im sad to see him go but wishing nuthsing but the best in his retirement. [applause] on behalf of the board thank you for outstanding work. Very difficult work and all the pcos here today, thank you for the hard work aerfb day. Thaupg very much. Yeah, it is tough decision to retire, but there is a time and now is a time for me. Im still young to retire, still healthy, so here we go. Want to congratulate maureen and rich, great job they both do. Thank you all my staff, my assistant director back there, supervisors who support me and great job they do. It is a hard job. I love what i do, love what i did and i havent gotten used to it yet but maybe a month then i can get rid of the second phone and move on. So, thank you very much and again, really like to thank ed for your support i trust. Been a great leader and tom, thank you very much. Thank you. Best in your retirement. [applause] just reemphasize what tom said. It is amazingly difficult work the enforcement folks do every day and that we have such exemplars of Great Service refleths well on the agency. I had trouble congratulating cam about his retirement because i was so disaopponented he was leaving. I dont think as much of those words tom said to try to capture what he has done for the agency and people of the city i think it is hard to capture whether a issue is coming from the mayor or a member of this board or a little old lady in the excelsior he is amazingly responsive and just he works to solve problems for people to make the city work better so will miss him. I guess we wish him the best. [laughter] um, finally recollect in terms of recognition i want to ask john hailey, our director of trachbzt transit to come forward to recognize his folks with all the new vehicles coming into town.
