A
I've
had
the
honor
of
knowing
mr.
Merrit
sir,
for
about
a
quarter
of
a
century,
and
I
can
tell
you
this
he's
a
professional
who
loves
his
job
and
who
loves
working
for
the
people
of
Pittsburgh,
and
he
is
somebody
who
is
well
deserving
of
being
not
only
the
employee
of
the
month,
but
also
the
yeah,
but
also
an
employee
that
people
who
work
with
the
ones
that
are
all
over
this
room.
Richard
love
to
work
with
every
day
you
bring
a
certain
joy
to
the
Department
of
City
Planning.
A
That
makes
people
really
want
to
be
there
every
day
to
work
for
the
people
of
Pittsburgh,
and
you
build
a
team
atmosphere
around
populations
that,
for
so
many
years,
have
been
left
behind
in
making
sure
that
they
get
the
full
benefits
that
every
citizen
of
Pittsburgh
should
get
and
you've
been
a
leader
and
a
trailblazer
in
that
for
decades.
So
today
we
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yes
and
I've
heard

week's

you.
A
A
A
Both
his
personal
and
professional
life,
richer's
is
dedicated
to
serving
others
and
passionate
about
bettering
our
community
and
whereas,
after
34
years
of
service,
Richard
Richard
is
still
an
enthusiastic,
enthusiastic
and
positive
spokesperson
for
the
city
through
his
altruism
and
years
of
experience,
he
remains
a
mentor
for
the
next
generation.
Richen
is
often
heard
saying
the
surprised
he
gets
paid
for
doing
what
he
does
every
day
because
he
enjoys
it.
So
much
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
I
William
Peduto
mayor
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
A
B
Well,
I
can
certainly
say:
I
was
really
surprised
and
really
thrilled.
I
think
everyone
here
knows
how
much
I
really
love
the
city.
How
much
I
really
love
the
department?
B
The
work
we
do
is
incredible.
My
high
school
students
are
here
are
just
starting
out
on
their
careers
and
I'm,
giving
hopefully
them
a
good
start.
I
got
in
contact
from
past
high
school
students
before
who
said
how
much
the
internship
meant
to
them
and,
of
course,
my
college
students
I
love
working
with
they
keep
me
young
I
tell
everyone,
you
know
the
answer
is
never
that's
the
way
we've
done
it.
You
know
we
were
always
learning
everyday
from
new
people
and
I
love.
B
Having
you
know,
my
fellow
co-workers
and
my
college
students
and
high
school
students
instructing
me
on
what
I
could
be
doing
better.
This
has
been
an
incredible
ride.
If
you
know,
if
you
had
said
when
I
graduated
college,
that
I
would
be
standing
in
the
mayor's
office,
I've
received
an
award
work,
I
did
with
the
city.
I
would
have
laughed
at
you
because
it
has
really
been
a
very
interesting
and
exciting
trip
and
I
appreciate
everyone.
Who's
been
involved
from
City
Planning
from.
B
The
mayor's
office,
the
support
we
get
from
city
council,
it's
just
been
a
incredible
effort.
I've,
never
seen
a
group
of
people
across
different
professional
positions
and
backgrounds
who
worked
so
well
together.
Pittsburgh
is
truly
an
incredible
place
and
I'm
so
blessed
to
have
so
blessed
to
have
been
born
here
and
so
blessed
have
been
able
to
give
back
to
the
city
all
the
great
things
it's
given
to
me.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Richard.
A
C
One
I'd
say
that
for
a
guy
who's
surprised,
you
give
him
mighty
good
speech
Wow
and
also,
as
everyone
in
this
room
knows
that
this
was
a
group
effort
in
terms
of
the
nomination.
I.
Think
some
other
folks
here
who
really
helped
sort
of
say:
we've
got
to
do
this
and
then
I
kept
pushing
I,
mean
I,
think
I
can
say
without
revealing
trade
secrets,
that
I
said
to
James,
Hill
I
said
I'm
gonna
see
it
keep
submitting
Richard's
name
until
the
mayor
cracks.
C
We're
gonna
keep
this
going.
This
is
gonna
happen
so,
but
thank
you
to
everybody
helped
to
actually
organize
this
and
also
make
the
surprise
work,
but
most
important
and
and
thank
you,
the
the
mayor
and
so
many
others
that
have
helped
Richard
have
the
opportunity
to
do
his
work
and
to
keep
going
at
the
through
this
really
remarkable
combination
of
from
bike
ped
to
to
residential
parking
permits
to
onto
a
DA
onto
so
many
and
the
internship
program
itself.
C
So
many
achievements
and
so
much
accomplishment,
it's
really
really
appreciated,
and
so
with
that
really
Richard
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
work
and
again,
as
the
mayor
said,
thank
you
for
the
joy
you
bring
to
your
work,
which
is
actually
a
significant
factor
in
making
a
workplace
a
good
place
to
come
every
day
and
your
enthusiasm
and
belief
in
your
work
is
inspiring
to
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
