With the wrong word and it really is the appropriate word, really because, we do deal with each other and we like each other and we do a good job with each and you should be congratulations with the kind of staff that you hire because they are good. Thank you for saying that. And i often say that the support staff is the best in the city. And i started to stop because i am afraid. , and truly we have extraordinary staff and you have singled out just a few but they are supported by Extraordinary People as well. But we have the best and the brightest in the city. So no Public Comment, just want to say, Public Comment is closed. And now we get to talk. Thank you. Very much. That was great. That happens to you all and it happens when we meet here too. And i think that you have hit the nail on the head. I think Sea Level Rise is definitely a certain that we all have to be aware of and we have to find out, you know, how to deal with that successfully, and i am just want to say thank you, and
Short time that i have been on the commission i am stunned at the number of things that have gone forward and the projects from parks to museums and to all sorts of things and i still think that pier 70 is one of the most exciting things to happen to the city and the kutos that are come ng and it is a testament to the Lessons Learned being played out. And the commissioner helped to point it out and we dont have that many areas where the projects can go forward. We have seen a lot of things come along and those Lessons Learned were anraid to one of the largest projects and i think that the people are feeling good about what is happening in that area. And i, i appreciate also, as brad pointed out we did do the capitol planning annually and that plays into a lot of things and i think that we have got, such an obligation really to take how that has played out here and this is a chance to really, have that overlay, in a very concrete way of our capitol planning with the project and our visi

And we have citizens who are sophisticated and engaged and care passionately about our city and that is something that we do embrace and that is what i want to see how to get more people involved in the advisory commissions or whatever other ways that we can turn to those that want to provide the input in the processes. Emphasizing what did and did not work, and look at what happens, over the last few, years. And we do update that plan, and approximately, five years, and so, you know, not only are you looking at what happens since we implemented the plan but what has changed in the last five years and i know that the short time that i have been on the commission i am stunned at the number of things that have gone forward and the projects from parks to mus
And it seems like there is an issue and you are the one that can set the standard and lets just agree that we need to work on this together, and Work Together because we cant just address the 7 and a half miles and everybody else address its differently, you ever the unifying thread and i think that is really, really important and i am glad to hear that is what you are doing and you can affirm that is what you are doing with the Sea Level Rise and i am glad to hear from what your purpose is, in terms of some of the other things, because i think that we all can get wrapped up in our very detailed, whatever it is and the what we go to and sometimes we lose sight of what we are trying to accomplish. And a more Strategic Vision of how we can Work Together and all of the stake holders that come to you and to us. And what it is that they have to do. So, i will go back to the question.
