knows that myself and Mr aosta are both leaving Council um I just want first I want to start to thank my uh family for their support um in these past eight years um in fact I I want to take this opportunity while I still on on TV so to speak um to wish my mother an 89th happy birthday um that she celebrated about 3 or four days ago um and uh she's gone through a lot so God bless her uh so during these two terms um the big deal is I open would ask myself when we're voting um one uh is it legal and that's very important uh but the second is a good for the cause and then I guess the third is like what kind of feeling as as the talian would say what kind of do I have AA with this when I have Auda then I get a little nervous and then I question um I try to be as professional of course as funny as possible so we're not re yelling at each other and um and I appreciate everybody's patience well um you know I try to vet uh just some things that uh I have issue with um you know serving with you guys uh it's it's been a privilege it's been a privilege and I I I just and I hope you know that uh anytime you need me I'm here um for anything I even my old work I I still get calls and um and I'd like to help and um and I appreciate your friendship and um I guess that's that's really it um probably for the last time for the record Paul happy birthday I say that with all my heart I'm sure you do Rick God bless you okay that makes me even warmer okay and yeah and I wish everybody a Merry Christmas Happy New Year please be healthy and safe thank you thank you as my colleague just said um we served eight years together and I want to thank everyone that um supported us supported me that had the confidence um in getting me in this chair uh um it's been quite a privilege uh I was born and raised in this town um and there's no better town in the world than this I lived in other places I lived in Ohio I lived in Massachusetts but there's no violent uh there's no way they compare to what uh violent has to offer um Ron and I are leaving but it's been a real pleasure and I'm sure that the members that are going to still be in Council and the new ones will be continuing the work and efforts that we uh work very hard fic atos and you can translate that in English if you like Merry Christmas hopefully we'll see you next year are you going to wish Paul happy birthday oh ni that's nice and if you need translation I don't need anything that's anything that has bad language in it I generally know it counil spelli I'd like to say it was a privilege I know it's a privilege with David because I David's just uh just a good friend prior to this so and 40 years yes and uh you know when anthy and I were speaking when we first started this is the end of my 12th year uh and um when when you name we talked about you and I said you can get a better person and I truly believe that um thank you were a staple here yeah when everybody else was kind of getting crazy you just kind of kept your head and you know kept everybody in line and I appreciate that um it's it's not an easy job sometimes uh it looks easy sometimes when you're sitting looking at it because you're voting on things and just saying yes or no but uh there's a lot of research that gets involved in many of these uh and again without these guys sitting down there it would be a lot harder Ron I don't know what to say I will say happy birthday back I just uh you know uh we've known each other from the board we kind of had some some tiffs there and uh with differences of opinions and uh it's been a better ride this time there's no doubt about that and I appreciate you uh your emotion and and and hard work with the health department because you were big help most of those things most of us don't know that much about and uh we always leaned on you for those kinds of things so thank you very much and uh I will be reaching out to both of you guys if something comes up that I feel that I don't know that much about and need a little bit of help so thank you very much for all your service well I'm going to be very nice about this one not not like Paul but uh no I truly believe uh that Hey listen I I I worked with both you for the past eight years I've learned a lot I picked on your brain a lot many times um it it was a great honor to work with both and I know myself and and rnie go back from high school but uh that's your problem truly uh and thanks for being there always when I meet that phone call and uh good luck with everything you do from the bottom of my heart truly thank you well I'm going to miss the two of you to the right going to be kind of quiet and we're not going to have that dry sense of humor to deal with and we'll see if we can uh impart that on someone else maybe you're going to have some withdrawal symptoms yes we're going to have some withdrawal symp symptoms for sure we might get some high energy from that side we'll spread it out a little bit one thing it won't be the same it definitely won't be the same so won't but thank you so very much for all of your input and all of your perspectives because it certainly gives us you know the opportunity to think about I'm a process person so I'd like to think about the other side of things sometimes so thank you for all of your input in in that respect as well and for your friendship so when I started on the board on the council it was like oh I got David and Paul I have a brother David and Paul and you both symbolize in the two of them because you tend to have the same characteristics but I've gained another family member two more and Ron and and Al as well as brothers so it's been a really great was looking for more fames so thank you yeah you got more family now whether you want us David too I think you put the three the three of us together it's it's just half of Island City of Island at least it it's a pleasure working with you L thank you so very much and I appreciate your leadership same with Paul um and uh yeah I wish you uh very calm four years thank you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and all that jazz to your not only you but you and your family as well and I hope everybody stays well in the coming year and we look forward to the new group that's coming so God bless you all thank you very much anything further I hope they have heat by that time yes I hope we have heat by that for the record according to my app it's 56 Dees in here it's dropping the temperature is dropping yeah I think I'm see a little uh yeah we're in hyp just be careful because Bobby thinks he's honey now it's kind of coold I tell you Rick does but Rick would miss so we don't have to worry about it no further comments I just want to say pleasure everything from Ronnie's law uh we'll never forget in cannabis which was a contentious uh legislation and but you know the point is that we could we could have differences of opinions and and still come up with um legislation for that the rest of the city can live by and quite frankly live very well by so I appreciate everybody's knowledge and experience uh in the adoption of eight years of legislation that moved this city absolutely forward um and it's just it was a great thing I hope that we can have the same um type of accomplishments in years to come but thank you too for all that you've done it was very very um
