these papers to signal to you that i will read them with great earnest and see immediately what we can do to adopt them into the city to manage the city. as you know, i've tried to create a foundation in which we have a budget, we have a pension and we have relationships with all of our different parts of the city to be able to look further forward. this is the first time i've introduced a five-year budget planning for the city, and that meant a completely different dialogue with people. some people said, you mean i don't have to struggle with you this year just whether or not we're going to survive, whether it's a community-based agency helping us with aids or another agency helping us with our environment? they didn't have to ask that, because we invited them in to say, let's talk about this year and let's talk about the next four years and how we can collaborate with each ofments that's another different tone.

but it also says we want you here. it also says we can evolve with you and we can help build and build capacity where there isn't. and if you've got a great purpose and a good program and you can implement it well, then we should be planning for that capacity to work with the city. the city will not be able to do this all alone. that's been proven time and time again. the cities who have tried that will fail. it will be the collaboration with business, with labor, with community groups that make this all happen. these papers reflect that and you have my commitment to work with you. i thank you very much for your input and your thoughts, and we will continue working together. thank you very much.
