B
F
Before
I
make
a
motion,
just
want
to
say
a
few
words,
it's
a
little
bit
sweet
for
me
because
this
is
very
likely
most
likely.
My
last
meeting
on
the
public
facilities
commission
an
obscure
but
very
important
board.
I've
been
thrilled
to
be
able
to
serve
for
the
last
six
years
with
chia
craven
and
commissioner
mamouli,
you
guys
are
great
people.
You
do
tremendous
public
service,
the
staff
of
the
public
facilities.
Commission,
you
guys
have
been
great
colleen,
tt
catherine.
F
This
is
where,
like
folks
who
study
city
planning
and
urban
affairs,
this
is
where
it
all
meets
the
road
and
you
guys
are
doing
a
great
job
with
great
projects
to
create
affordable
housing,
open
space
playgrounds,
the
previous
department
that
we
heard
the
pfmd
they
do
great
job
with
municipal
buildings,
fire
stations,
libraries-
I
mean
you
name
it.
So
it's
been
a
pleasure
and
I'm
excited
to
move
into
the
role
of
chief
of
operations
for
mayor
janie
next
week.
F
A
Well,
commissioner,
irish,
it's
been
a
pleasure
getting
to
know
you
over
the
past
god
it's
going
on
eight
years.
I
think,
since
you
first
came
on
this
commission
and
it's
just
been
wonderful,
seeing
your
enthusiasm
for
the
work
that
the
both
departments
are
doing,
but
it's
just
been
an
amazing
you've
added
so
much
to
this
commission
and
I'm
just
so
proud
to
know
you
and
to
congratulate
you
and
congratulate
the
city
of
boston
on
your
ascendancy
to
this
new
role.
So
we're
so
wicked
proud
of
you.
E
Thank
you,
commissioner,
should
I
say
chief
again
congratulations,
or
should
I
actually
pity
you
I'm
not
sure
which,
but
no,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
great.
It's
not
that
you're
leaving
where
you're,
just
as
you
said,
moving
to
the
other
side
of
the
table,
but
so
I'm
sure
we'll
be
talking
and
working
together
on
a
lot
of
issues.
E
A
All
right
well
we'll
when
we
can
all
get
together
again,
we'll
have
a
congratulatory
and
celebratory
moment
for
you,
commissioner,
irish
and
chief,
I
guess
irish
now
so
thank.
F
You
well
done.
I
make
a
motion
that
we
adjourn.
