Two
thousand
nine.
C
B
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
First,
let
me
offer
my
congratulations
to
the
incoming
mayor,
jim
rain,
on
his
election
and
two
councilmen
ten
abara
on
his
reelection.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
knowing
Larry
since
the
1970s
when
I
first
started
practicing
law
at
ross,
hackett
and
siegel
across
from
san
bruno
city,
hall,
Larry
and
I
served
together
in
the
San
Bruno
Rotary
Club
for
a
number
of
years,
and
then
the
millbrae
Chamber
of
Commerce
board
of
directors
when
I
learned
of
their
Larry's
decision
to
run
for
public
office.
D
D
You
have
represented
your
city
extremely
well,
and
you've
always
been
entire
less
advocate
on
its
behalf
and
as
you
look
back
over
the
years
of
your
public
service,
I
think
you
can
do
so
with
the
sense
of
pride
in
knowing
your
community
is
a
better
place
because
you
have
served,
and
so
on.
Behalf
of
the
Board
of
Supervisors
Larry
I
want
to
present
you
with
this
resolution
and
recognition
of
your
outstanding
service,
and
we
extend
to
you
our
best
wishes
for
the
future.
Graduation.
C
I
always
look
to
larry
for
that
support
that
guidance
in
that
friendship
for
everyone,
not
just
in
san
bruno,
but
he
took
it
beyond
that
because
he
looked
at
issues
regionally
and
that's
what's
so
important
today,
whether
it's
transportation
or
whether
it's
healthcare,
something
that
doesn't
affect
the
city,
but
he
understands
it
in
those
what's
best
for
the
city.
So
I'm
privileged
today
to
present
two
opportunities
for
Larry.
One
is
congresswoman
Speier
and
her
able
assistant,
Brian
Perkins,
is
in
the
audience
today,
but
asked
me
to
present
this
since
I
was
up
here.
C
But
this
is
a
great
honor
for
someone
and
it's
to
recognize
by
congresswoman
Speier
in
the
Congressional
Record,
and
this
is
placed
in
the
Congressional
Record
honoring
Larry
francella
for
his
great
work
in
appreciation
for
that
as
mayor
of
the
city
of
San
Bruno,
and
it's
a
beautiful
resolution
showing
what
was
inserted
into
the
Congressional
Record
today,
Tuesday
December
first,
and
it
outlines
some
of
the
great
work
that
Larry
has
done
and
with
directions
to
the
Speaker
of
the
House.
So
this
is
a
wonderful
honor
and
let
me
present
that,
on
behalf
of
congresswoman
back.
C
And
not
that
the
state
has
any
more
money
that
this
is
larger
than
the
one
from
Congress
because
we
don't
have.
But
this
is
a
resolution
from
the
California
Legislature
to
honor,
Larry
friend
Sallah,
for
his
great
work
and
the
22
years.
I
guess
it's
18
is
elected,
but
you've
spent
a
lot
of
time
before
that
working
in
the
city
at
in
different
venues.
It
talks
about
his
his
work
in
in
the
committee's
that
he
sat
on
before
that.
C
The
city's
citizens
crime
prevention
committee
that
he
was
a
founding
member
of
the
airport,
roundtable
and
numerous
other
committees,
but
there's
one
little
paragraph
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
whole
thing,
but
I
think
it
really
kind
of
exemplifies
what
Larry
is
all
about
where
as
intelligent
and
articulate
aware
and
involved,
mayoral
Larry
France
Allah
is
an
excellent
example
of
a
public-spirited
citizen
willing
to
assume
the
responsibilities
of
leadership
and
he
has
served
the
city
of
San
Bruno
with
distinction
that
says
it
all
Larry.
Thank
you
for
those
22
years.
E
A
Thank
you
all.
I
actually
thought
this
was
Jimmer
Wayne's
night,
but
is
it
shifted
a
little
just
at
the
beginning?
It's
coming
it's
coming
and
and
I
will
keep
my
comments
brief,
but
I
certainly
have
a
few
that
I
want
to
make
back
in
June
that
I
made
the
decision
not
to
run
for
reelection
in
anticipation
of
impending
organizational
changes
within
my
company
and
sadly,
as
many
of
you
know,
that
excuse
me
turned
out
to
be
the
right
choice.
A
I've
been
very
fortunate
to
serve
the
citizens
of
San
Bruno
for
the
past
10
years
as
their
mayor
and
I'll
be
forever
grateful
for
that
opportunity
to
have
served
and
have
been
elected,
25
terms
as
mayor,
but
as
I
look
back
over
the
past
10
years,
there's
a
number
of
major
accomplishments
that
we,
with
the
assistance
of
the
council,
were
able
to
achieve.
We
saw,
as
was
mentioned,
the
near
completion
of
the
crossing
development
with
nearly
1,000
residential
units.
A
San
Bruno's,
first
senior
housing
project
ground
has
been
broken
for
a
much-needed
restaurant,
with
banquet
facilities
in
the
city
and
I'm,
confident
that
soon
a
hotel
will
be
under
construction.
We've
seen
the
renovation
of
the
shops
at
tanforan
major
traffic
improvements
on
el
camino,
we're
now
realizing
the
benefits
from
the
first
ten
years
of
success
of
the
redevelopment
agency
and
the
massing
of
affordable
housing
dollars.
A
We've
seen
the
signalization
of
the
intersection
of
san
bern,
avenue
and
shelter,
creek
no
easy
task
working
with
Caltrans
you'd
think
you
could
just
call
someone
in
order
a
signal,
but
that
was
a
three-year
battle.
During
my
tenure
as
mayor
bart
has
began
operations
in
san
bruno,
a
new
police
station
was
built,
we've
seen
downtown
improvements,
many
new
housing
developments,
we've
developed
a
stronger
relationship
with
the
city
of
San
Bruno
and
the
county
and
all
of
the
cities
within
our
County.
A
A
new
caltrain
grade
separation
project
is
proceeding
to
break
ground
in
anticipation
of
breaking
ground
next
year
and
I
certainly
couldn't
leave
without
mentioning
our
median
landscaping.
San
bruno
avenue
from
I
282
skyline
Boulevard,
is
in
and
flourishing.
The
El
Camino
medians
are
approved,
and
the
first
phase
is
now
under
construction
and
soon
to
be
completed.
A
Nothing
could
have
been
accomplished
without
the
cooperation
of
the
council.
Members
I've
worked
with
and
I'd
like
to
express
my
appreciation
to
councilmember
O'connell,
Ibara
Medina
andrew
lane
and
I
to
have
some
presentations
here.
I
have
just
a
small
token
of
appreciation
for
each
of
you.
That
I
would
like
to
just
have
you
remember
the
years
that
we
work
together
and
time
we
spent
together
on
the
council.
A
I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
former
councilmember
Palace
who
I
served
on
the
council
while
I
was
mayor
during
my
tenure.
I,
truly
appreciate
your
support
and
respect
these
past
years.
The
smooth
transition
of
power
is
something
that's
admire
in
this
country,
as
it
is
in
our
city,
I'll,
leave
office
tonight,
knowing
that
I'm
leaving
the
city
in
good
hands,
the
ensuing
years
will
bring
with
them
many
of
the
same
financial
challenges
that
the
past
have
and
I
know.
The
leadership
is
in
place
to
face
those
challenges.
A
There
are
a
number
of
people
here
this
evening
that
have
supported
me
in
this
endeavor
from
the
very
beginning
and
I.
Thank
you,
of
course,
special
thanks
and
acknowledgment
and
appreciation
to
my
partner
Michael
on
my
family
that
are
here
this
evening
and
in
the
words
of
Mayor
Giuliani
I,
leave
you
tonight
its
mayor
to
resume
the
much
more
honorable
title
of
citizen
and
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
I.
Thank.
