SUP. ANTONOVICH: WELL, LET ME JUST STATE THAT THIS WAS A VERY WORTHWHILE PROGRAM, THE GLOBAL COOPERATION SOCIETY. THEY'VE HAD MORE THAN 60 DELEGATES TO KOREA SINCE 1992, WHEN IT BEGAN AFTER THE RIOTS, AND SUPERVISOR BURKE'S DEPUTY, MIRIAM SIMMONS, AND MY DEPUTY, JAYCEE AMORE, WERE PART OF THAT DELEGATION AND ALSO MARY WACKERMAN, WHO IS HERE TODAY, WHOSE HUSBAND IS RETIRED FROM THE SOUTH PASADENA POLICE DEPARTMENT, PART OF THAT DELEGATION. THIS PROGRAM, AS SUPERVISOR BURKE INDICATED, IS TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITIES AS TO KOREAN CULTURE AND CUSTOMS. AND THE DELEGATES HAVE A VERY EXTENSIVE PROGRAM WHEN THEY DO VISIT KOREA AND MEETING ALL THE VARIOUS PEOPLE. THERE HAVE BEEN DELEGATES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY AT FULLERTON AS WELL. OUR COUNTY AND CITY REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY, THE PASADENA AND GARDENA POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. SO WE JUST WANT TO COMMEND THE ORGANIZATION FOR THIS TYPE OF A POSITIVE APPROACH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE YEARS OF COOPERATION. THANK YOU. SUP. BURKE: THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME OVER AND... [ APPLAUSE ] SPEAKER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HONORABLE YVONNE BURKE AND ALSO HONORABLE MIKE ANTONOVICH. I'D ALSO LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO MY FELLOW GCS MEMBERS WHO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH. I AM VERY HONORED AND HUMBLED THIS MORNING TO RECEIVE THIS AWARD. IT IS AN HONOR FOR ME AND MY GCS MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE KOREAN COMMUNITY AND CHUNG YI UNIVERSITY. DR. CHO, THE FOUNDER OF GCS CLUB AND CHUNG YI UNIVERSITY, PROMISED THAT HE WOULD KEEP THE MULTICULTURAL KOREAN VISITATION PROGRAM RUNNING FOR 10 YEARS. OUR GCS MEMBERS PLEDGED UP TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO KEEP THE PROGRAM ALIVE. WE STARTED OUT SMALL BUT NOW WE ARE IN OUR TENTH YEAR AND HAVE SENT ALMOST 150 DELEGATES THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. WHEN DR. CHO FIRST VISITED LOS ANGELES AFTER THE 1992 LOS ANGELES RIOT, HE IMMEDIATELY SENSED THAT ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE RIOT WAS A LACK OF CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING. THE GCS CLUB STRIVES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND DIFFERENCES. WE ARE VERY PROUD TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM RUNNING AND WE HAVE HIGH HOPES THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL USHER OUR SOCIETY INTO A BETTER FUTURE. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE HOPE WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AND LIVE HARMONIOUSLY. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM ALIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [ APPLAUSE ] SUP. ANTONOVICH: NOW WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED WITH THE MONTH OF MAY AS MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH AND WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME REPRESENTATIVES FROM AMERICAN BIKERS AIMED TOWARD EDUCATION OF CALIFORNIA. WITH US IS ANDREW BLACK, WHO IS THE MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN. LARRY LEWALD, JOHN MCDONALD, ELOISE BLACK, LARRY PAFFA AND PETER DANIELS. THIS MONTH IS AN ATTEMPT TO HEIGHTEN THE AWARENESS OF ALL MOTORISTS ON THE HIGHWAYS BY RECOGNIZING NATIONAL STATE AND LOCAL SAFETY EVENTS FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS. 80% OF ACCIDENTS BETWEEN MOTORCYCLES AND AUTOMOBILES STEM FROM, MANY TIMES, THE AUTOMOBILES BEING AT FAULT, SO IT'S VITAL THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY BE AWARE OF THE MOTORCYCLES ON HIGHWAYS AND RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY. SO, AT THIS TIME, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS WE RECOGNIZE MAY AS MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH, I'D LIKE TO GIVE THIS PROCLAMATION TO ANDREW BLACK. [ APPLAUSE ] LARRY PAFFA: I WOULD LIKE TO THANK SUPERVISOR MIKE ANTONOVICH AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE L.A. COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR PROCLAIMING MAY AS MOTORCYCLE MONTH IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. MY NAME IS LARRY PAFFA AND I'M REPRESENTING ABATE CALIFORNIA, ABATE SAFETY AND AWARENESS PROGRAM AND ABATE LOCAL 8 AND WE ARE-- ALL THREE OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE DEDICATED TO MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AND MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS. WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO TRY TO TEACH MOTORCYCLISTS HOW TO RIDE SAFE. IN 2003 IN CALIFORNIA, THERE WERE 9,600 ACCIDENTS INVOLVING MOTORCYCLES RESULTING IN 95-- OVER 9,500 ACCIDENTS AND 369 CALIFORNIA MOTORCYCLISTS DIED. AND, AS SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH SAID, STATISTICS SHOW US THAT 80% OF THESE ARE THE OTHER VEHICLE'S FAULT. THERE ARE MORE THAN 81,000 MOTORCYCLES REGISTERED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. MOTORCYCLES REPRESENT AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE LOS ANGELES ECONOMY AND MOTORCYCLES-- MOTORCYCLISTS ARE OUR HUSBANDS, WIVES, BROTHERS, SISTERS, NEIGHBORS, GRANDFATHERS. OKAY. MOTORCYCLISTS CAN DO MANY THINGS TO TRY TO MAKE THEIR SAFE-- THEIR TRIP SAFE. HOWEVER, THE DRIVERS OF CARS AND TRUCKS NEED TO PARTICIPATE ALSO. IF A DRIVER OF A CAR MAKES AN ILLEGAL TURN OR CHANGES LANES WITHOUT CHECKING HIS MIRROR OR HIS REARVIEW MIRROR, THE MOTORCYCLIST DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RECOGNITION AS MAY AS MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WILL GO A LONG WAYS TOWARDS HELPING KEEP THOSE OF US WHO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE SAFE. THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] SUP. ANTONOVICH: NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE WARNER BROTHERS STUDIOS, WARNER BROS. FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF OUR LOS ANGELES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS. WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE A FEW PEOPLE WHO WILL JOIN IN THIS PRESENTATION. FIRST, WE HAVE KATHLEEN ULINSKI, WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS FOUNDATION; DR. PAUL-- OR PAUL GOTTHAL, PRINCIPAL, LOS ANGELES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS; MARSHALL WILSON HOBBS, WHO IS THE FOUNDATION BOARD PRESIDENT; DR. ROBERT BARNER, WHO IS THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION. AND, ONCE AGAIN, ANGIE PAPADAKOS, WHO IS THE BOARD PRESIDENT-- I SHOULD SAY BOARD MEMBER OF THE L.A. COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND LESLIE GILBERT-LURIE, WHO IS A L.A.C.O.E. BOARD MEMBER AS WELL. BACK IN THE EARLY 1980S, WHEN ART CLASSES WERE DRASTICALLY BEING CUT FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, CAROLINE AHMANSON AND JOAN BOYETTE CAME TO MY OFFICE ASKING FOR ME TO CHAIR A COMMITTEE TO CREATE A PLAN AND DEVELOP AN ARTS HIGH SCHOOL FOR LOS ANGELES COUNTY. THIS WOULD BE A SCHOOL FOR ALL OF OUR-- PUBLIC AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOL, PRIVATE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE COUNTY, WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND. AND, TOGETHER WITH DR. STEWART GOTHAL, WHO WAS, AT THAT TIME, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION FOR THE COUNTY, WE ESTABLISHED A COMMITTEE, INCLUDING MANY NATIONALLY KNOWN ARTISTS AND LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS. THAT INCLUDED AL DORSKIN, WHO PASSED AWAY THIS PAST YEAR, AND BELLA LEWINSKI, THE FAMED BALLERINA AND CHOREOGRAPHER. THE RESULT WAS THE FORMATION OF THE LOS ANGELES HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS FOUNDATION. IN 1985, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHED THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS, WHICH IS A SCHOOL OF CHOICE, AS A SCHOOL OF CHOICE TO OFFER ARTS TRAINING, DANCE, MUSIC, THEATRE, VISUAL ARTS AND FILM TELEVISION AND ACADEMICS, TUITION FREE, TO THE MOST PROMISING YOUNG ARTISTS IN OUR COUNTY. THIS HAS BEEN RATED ONE OF THE NATION'S FIVE BEST ARTS HIGH SCHOOLS. THE OUTSTANDING ARTS PROGRAMS AND ITS NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR ARTISTS HAS RESULTED IN A 20-YEAR ZERO PERCENT DROP-OUT RATE. I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN. A ZERO PERCENT DROP-OUT RATE, WITH OVER 96% OF THEIR DIVERSE POPULATION FROM ALL ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS GOING ON TO COLLEGE AND THE REST IMMEDIATELY INTO THE ARTS CAREER. TO SUSTAIN THESE PROGRAMS, THE ARTS HIGH SCHOOL HAS-- MUST RELY ON SIGNIFICANT PRIVATE FUNDING RAISED BY THE FOUNDATION. WARNER BROS. EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CAROL HUNIX, JOINED THE FOUNDATION BOARD IN 2004 TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP OF ITS STRATEGIC PLAN TO INTRODUCE CORPORATIONS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND INSPIRE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS TREASURED CULTURAL INSTITUTION. AND WITH A STRONG COMMITMENT TO THE ARTS AND YOUTH, WARNER BROS., WITH THE SUPPORT OF TIME WARNER, ANNOUNCED A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL TO OFFER GENEROUS FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND SUPPORT, INTERNSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS, GUEST LECTURES AND ASSISTANTS TO THE FOUNDATION IN CAPACITY AND BOARD DEVELOPMENT. NOW WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE-- WARNER BROS. BUT FIRST TO-- BEFORE WE GIVE THE PROCLAMATION, I GUESS, LET US-- TO DEMONSTRATE THAT TALENT, WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE GREG DIAZ, WHO HAS A TRUMPET; MATTHEW STERN ON SAXOPHONE; AND COLIN GIBSON ON BASS; AND MICHAEL SILVA ON DRUMS, WHO ARE GOING TO DO A PERFORMANCE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS PROCLAMATION TO WARNER BROS. FOR THEIR GENEROUS OFFER OF SUPPORT TO THE FOUNDATION SO THESE TYPES OF YOUNG PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDY THE ARTS AND GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND BE THE PRODUCTIVE LEADERS THAT WE EXPECT THEM TO BE BECAUSE OF THE GREAT ACADEMIC PREPARATION THEY'VE HAD. SO YOU'RE ON. [ INSTRUMENTAL ] [ INSTRUMENTAL ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ INSTRUMENTAL ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] SUP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS COMMENDATION. WARNER BROS., AS AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, CAN THINK OF NO FINER WAY TO SUPPORT THE ARTS. IN ADDITION, AS A MEMBER OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY COMMUNITY, WE CAN THINK OF NO FINER WAY TO SUPPORT YOUTH. THIS SCHOOL IS SO IMPRESSIVE WITH ITS DIVERSITY, WITH ITS PROGRAMS, WITH THE COMMITMENT THAT BOTH THE FACULTY AND THE STUDENTS HAVE MADE TO THEIR ARTS CAREERS. IT'S JUST A TREMENDOUS HONOR FOR US TO SUPPORT THEM. THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] SPEAKER: AS PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND OUR STAR SCHOOL IS THE LOS ANGELES HIGH SCHOOL OF THE ARTS. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE DON'T JUST TURN OUT SCHOLARS, WE TURN OUT ARTISTS. THEY SPEND EIGHT HOURS A DAY IN SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME THEY SPEND OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL PRACTICING OR STUDYING TO BECOME-- TO BE WHO THEY ARE, AND I'M SO PROUD OF THE FACT THAT IT IS IN OUR THING BUT THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT; IT HAPPENS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THE SUPPORT OF MIKE AND EVERYONE HERE ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT TO THINK THAT WARNER BROS.-- WELL, I HAVE TO GO BACKTRACK. ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS, LESLIE GILBERT LURIE, WHO WAS PRESIDENT LAST YEAR OF L.A.

ANTONOVICH: AS WE PROCEED TO RECOGNIZE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE METROLINK TRAIN DERAILMENT TRAGEDY THAT TOOK PLACE ON JANUARY 26TH, IT IS AN EVENT THAT WE ALL WILL NEVER FORGET, WHERE 11 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES, INCLUDING OUR COUNTY'S DEPUTY SHERIFF, AND 180 PEOPLE WHO WERE INJURED WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES.

TODAY ARE PEOPLE WHO TRUSTED THEIR INSTINCTS TO DO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO WHEN THERE WAS NO OTHER CHOICE.

MEMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT HAVE CARED FOR LOST AND UNWANTED ANIMALS, INSTILLED HUMANE VALUES ON OUR CHILDREN AND PROMOTED TRUE WORKING SPIRIT OF ALL KINDNESSES AND CONSIDERATIONS. EACH OF US CAN CELEBRATE BEING KIND TO ANIMALS BY REPORTING ANIMAL ABUSE, TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR PETS, ADOPTING OUR NEXT PET FROM A SHELTER OR VOLUNTEERING TO WORK IN ONE OF OUR COUNTY SHELTERS BY CALLING (562) 728-4644. ALSO, IN THE SHELTERS, I BELIEVE IT'S OVER 90% OF THOSE ANIMALS ARE ADOPTED IN THE SHELTERS AND WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US EACH WEEK IS AN ANIMAL THAT IS PRESENTED AND EACH ONE OF THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN ADOPTED. NEXT WEEK MARKS THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOARD'S PET ADOPTION PROGRAM AND, SINCE THIS PROGRAM BEGAN, WE'VE FOUND ADOPTIVE HOMES FOR 429 DOGS, 67 CATS, TWO RABBITS AND ONE GUINEA PIG. AND, TODAY, THIS IS OUR 500TH PET FOR ADOPTION, WHO IS A QUIET LITTLE, ACTIVE LITTLE GIRL. SHE'S 16 WEEKS OLD.

[ APPLAUSE ] MARSHA MAYEDA: I'D LIKE TO THANK SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR RECOGNIZING BEING KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK. HOW WE TREAT ANIMALS IS A REFLECTION ON HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER AND THE MORAL KINDNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR DEPARTMENT ALWAYS STRIVES TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE KIND TO ANIMALS AND TO BE MINDFUL OF THE PETS IN OUR HOME AND IN OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT LIFE IS BETTER AND EASIER FOR ALL THESE ANIMALS. AND WE'D ALSO PARTICULARLY LIKE TO THANK THE SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH FOR THE PET ADOPTION PROGRAM. IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT PUBLIC RELATIONS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SHELTER ANIMALS TO GET VISIBLE AND TO GET ADOPTED. AND, IN RECOGNITION OF THAT, WE'D LIKE TO PRESENT SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH WITH A COMMEMORATIVE PHOTO COMPILATION OF SOME OF THE PETS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED THROUGH THE PROGRAM OVER THE YEARS AND IT'S ENDORSED BY HAPPY, THE DOG FROM 7TH HEAVEN, AND THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH, FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. [ APPLAUSE ] SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: SUPERVISOR BURKE FOR A PRESENTATION. SUP. BURKE: WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE GLORIA STEVENSON-CLARK WITH US TODAY. SHE HAS BEEN A RESIDENT-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. SHE'S BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE SECOND DISTRICT AS WELL AS A CITY OF LOS ANGELES EMPLOYEE FOR THE PAST 30-1/2 YEARS. SHE'S RETIRING-- PARDON ME-- AS ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AFTER MANY YEARS OF EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP AND DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND CONSISTENT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DURING HER TENURE. UPON RELOCATING FROM VIRGINIA TO LOS ANGELES IN 1974, SHE BEGAN HER CAREER WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. IN 1977, HER DEDICATION AND HARD WORK LED HER TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN HER HOME THROUGHOUT HER TENURE WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. HER INSPIRATIONAL CAREER BEGAN AS A LABOR MARKET ANALYST WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND GREW TO THE CURRENT POSITION OF ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER, OF WHICH SHE IS NOW RETIRING. AND SHE HAS DONE SO MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN VERY IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES IN WORKING TOGETHER: L.A. BRIDGES GANG PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION PROGRAMS WHICH AIM TO ADDRESS AND COMBAT GANG ELEMENTS AND EXIST THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE CITY; OVERSEEING THE MANAGEMENT OF $20 MILLION IN ANNUAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS; THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MAJOR SOCIAL POLICIES FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, INCLUDING THE CITY'S POLICY ON HOMELESSNESS AND THE CITY A.I.D.S. POLICY, WHICH HAS MADE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE TO MANY OF THE CITY'S MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. FURTHER, SHE'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN MANY SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS THAT HAVE WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. NOTABLY, SHE WORKED WITH THE COUNTY COUNSEL AND CITY ATTORNEY TO SETTLE THE HOMELESS LAWSUIT BY CREATING L.A.H.S.A., AND I KNOW THAT L.A.H.S.A. HAS HAD GOOD AND BAD REVIEWS BUT THE IMPORTANT THING, IT'S A COOPERATIVE EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE CREATED WHERE WE WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS. SHE'S WORKED TIRELESSLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TO ADVOCATE-- TO SAVE C.S.B.G. FUNDS FOR LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS AND INSIST IN THE DRAFTING OF THE C.S.B.G. REGULATIONS TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR GREATEST LEVEL OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY. SHE'S WORKED HAND IN HAND WITH THE COUNTY TO LAUNCH THE E.I.T.C. CAMPAIGN TO ENABLE LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS TO RETRIEVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN EARNED INCOME TAX FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND WE WILL MISS HER ON HER RETIREMENT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HER AND CONTINUING TO HAVE HER ASSIST WITH THOSE ISSUES OF HOMELESSNESS AND, OF COURSE, TO HELP THOSE WHO CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES AND DEPEND UPON SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO HELP THEM. CONGRATULATIONS. [ APPLAUSE ] GLORIA STEVENSON-CLARK: THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUPERVISOR BURKE, AND TO ALL THE SUPERVISORS HERE TODAY AND THEIR STAFFS. THIS IS NOT ONLY A PLEASURE, SUCH A PLEASURE, BUT IT'S AN HONOR AND IT'S NOT ONLY AN HONOR TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED TODAY BUT IT IS AN HONOR FOR ME TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL OF YOU TO MAKE LOS ANGELES A WORLD CLASS CITY. AND IT IS A PLACE WHERE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME TO ENJOY AND VISIT, BUT ALSO WHO COME TO LIVE AND FIND THEIR DREAMS AND TO MAKE THEIR DREAMS A REALITY. AND I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE AND I HAVE-- I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO FULFILL MY DREAMS AND I WILL BE GOING BACK TO VIRGINIA WITH A GREAT SENSE OF FULFILLMENT. I AM FORTUNATE IN THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK IN AN AREA THAT ALLOWS ME TO GIVE FULL PLAY TO MY PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE OF PROMOTING THE DIGNITY OF ALL HUMAN LIFE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR BURKE, YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT ROLE MODEL TO ME AND TO SO MANY AND I WANT TO THANK YOUR STAFF, JASON SEELID, AND YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF, JOHN HILL, MIRIAM, JULIAN, LUPE AND I HOPE I DIDN'T FORGET ANYONE, BUT THEY'VE ALL BEEN WONDERFUL, AND, OF COURSE, YOU, FROM YOUR OFFICE, CAME THE LAST SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND MY FRIEND, THE HONORABLE HERB WESSON. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE-- THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO BRING THIS FORWARD. I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR CHAIRPERSON, CHAIR, THE HONORABLE GLORIA MOLINA BECAUSE, AT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, YOU ALWAYS ASKED ME THE TOUGH QUESTIONS AND YOU HELPED ME TO DEVELOP AND GROW STRONGER. AND, OF COURSE, COUNCILMEMBER YAROSLAVSKY, COUNCILMEMBER SUPERVISOR YAROSLAVSKY. WE HAVE GREAT HISTORY AND WE HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WHEN YOU WERE WITH THE CITY AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF, WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME AND SPECIFICALLY DENA. AND IT'S BEEN JUST A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND A GREAT JOURNEY WITH YOU. AND I WAS JUST SPEAKING WITH YOUR OTHER STAFF PERSON, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO FORGET SOMEONE'S NAME BUT SHE'S AROUND HERE AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE REUNITED WITH HER. AND ALL THE SUPERVISORS WHO I'VE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH, I THANK YOU AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE CITY BUT I DO WANT TO THROW OUT ONE CHALLENGE AND THAT IS THAT-- TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO WORK MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER AND MORE COLLABORATIVELY. I THINK THAT THERE IS A GREAT AMOUNT THAT CAN BE DONE AND I ADMIRE ALL THE WORK THAT ALL OF YOU DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT. THERE'S ALWAYS MORE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH TOO FEW RESOURCES AND I BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL OCCUPATIONS. SO I ADMIRE WHAT YOU DO AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO GREAT THINGS IN THE FUTURE. NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE EXPERT TEAMWORK OF PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED ME THROUGH THE YEARS AND I'M HAPPY THAT MANY ARE HERE TODAY AND I'D LIKE THEM TO STAND AND BE RECOGNIZED. WE HAVE THE GENERAL MANAGER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, CLIFF GRAVES, IS HERE AND MANY, MANY OTHERS ARE HERE AND HAVE BEEN WITH ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. AND I THANK ALL OF YOU, THOSE TAKING THE PICTURES AND EVERYBODY WHO HAS WORKED WITH ME. MY HUSBAND IS HERE, ILIA CLARK, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. THIS JOB IS NEVER POSSIBLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AT HOME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK IN ANOTHER PHASE, IN ANOTHER WAY BUT THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TODAY.
