lawson. come on up. colleagues, i know many of you know and have worked with wells over time. i'm sure you're aware of wells was with the redevelopment agency and ocii since 2007 as a senior now a senior project manager with the redevelopment of hunters point shipyard with the candle stick park you know how critical this is the largest project happening in san francisco 10 thousand 5 hundred housing unit a third below market rate and a 3rd of redevelopment space and 3 hundreds acres of new parks and 11 though permanent jobs and new

academic activity and wells unfortunately is leaving and going down cigarette to the other part of the state has played a critical roll in keeping the project a mega project to keep it moving forward. he's played a key roll from the negotiations every step of the way. the approval process the community process working with the advisory committee and drafting the benefits plan resulting in $83 million in benefits for san francisco. he played a key really in the adaptation of the streetscape plan but ultimately it moved in a great direction because of wells work and leadership. wells were really going to miss

you i know a lot of people are going to miss you, your a popular guy and there's a reason for that you're one of the people that gets it done and did it in a intelligent way it's a major loss to the city but you're not far away and going on to bigger and better things in the great work you've already been doing so it's my honor to recognize you at the board of supervisors and i know that supervisor cohen has some words as well >> thank you yes. well this is a bittersweet moment i have to thank you for a lot of the projects i've inherited the as supervisor wiener dictated wells lawson has been a tremendous asset to san francisco i it's a

pleasure to give you an opportunity to feel the love we have it is a loss i want to let you know that certainly on my staff andrea has been crying (laughter) about this moment and you're an amazing project manager i know you guys worked hand to hand but thank you for your your due diligence wells was a project manager on the shipyard project and did a lot of the work in the redevelopment agency and i don't know if the co-sponsors have here but i want to recognize your work we're grateful and you'll be missed you're welcome to come back my time. >> thank you (clapping.) i'll keep my remarks short i've

been reflecting last month what has occurred to me in the city this city's leadership and staff it is complex and everything it is accomplishing is powerful it's been a wonderful thing in forming who i am today professionally and personally thank you to the city to the board and, of course, to ocii which i think is one of the most fundamental thing is the redevelopment over the last 2 years we've made it through and ocii is doing amazing work and i'm honored to be attached to that work so thank you

(clappin (clapping). >> supervisors our next accomodation by supervisor campos. thank you very much mr. president. and it is my pleasure to ask francisco to please come on up. and full disclosure we have a special connection with the gentleman because my chief of staff is married to him and they have the cutest daughter.

but i'm really this is really honored to be able to present this certificate to francisco so who is leaving his position as the legal director at delores street for a job he's had for more than 6 years. and i can honestly say having seen this time and time again that my time there's a need for an immigrant family in san francisco when legal services legal help is needed the person that we turn to time and time again is francisco. the good news is froops is not

going far he has accepted a job with our deputy city attorney and he has a deportation defense program at the public defender's office who are placed in deportation procedures it makes sense your representing the legal part for those people facing immigration things. francisco will be surprisingly kourndz on the various dispositions in criminal cases and his input will be invaluable it is hard to understand how important this is. and we're lucky francisco will be joining the public defender's

office the public defenders gain is delores streets loss. over the last 6 years francisco is the person to go to with immigration issues he's prchtd the deportation of hundreds of cabinets and keep e kept countless families together. he takes the toughest cases the ones that are nearly impossible to win and won every case he's taken. i know that i mean i'd like super heros there's a lot of super heros gotham has batman and immigrants in san francisco has francisco he is a moving lawyer he understands how the

cases can spearhead and advance the individual case and the movement. his use of non-traditional lawyer skills lead to success with his clients human resources he's collaborating with community-based organizations not only individuals cases but making sure we're passing the right legislation and i mean it's hard to imagine the immigration rights movement in san francisco without francisco. when it comes to passing laws at the local and state level francisco has played an important role and one could go on and on about all his accomplishments but we want to thank you for the opportunity as a strict supervisor to give you the certificate of honor

creating one of san francisco's premium defense programs and for everything you've done being the communities go to people's lawyer and for doing our work with tremendous love and passion and respect for your clients. on behalf of the city thank you for everything you've done (clapping) and i know that some of my colleagues perhaps want to say something. supervisor avalos >> yes. i want to say thank you for your great service francisco it's been really an honor to work with you. you've been part of my pieces of lvengs we've done at the board of supervisors protecting immigrants and it's axiliary

because you've protected families by you've also lived up to the inspirations of a network and working with other attorneys in the community to protect immigrants in the city i've sat down with a lot of folks you living up to the commitment and because of that work we have others people that have the capacity to do this work this is fantastic and part of your contribution so thank you and look forward to working with you in the public defender's office and congratulations an uncle part of a great career of service (clapping) >> supervisor mar. >> yeah. francisco i can supervisor campos said this but there's no better example of a

people lawyer your empowering immigrants to stand up for themselves standing side by side really does by side with people to give them more access and voice and power i look forward to continuing that with you, too thank you (clapping). >> and supervisor kim. >> i'm going to miss you, we had clients to end to you around immigration issues and also been a clearheaded and articulate voice on being able to punch this out for people in the community be fighting for what is best for the community. i'm really exciting it's important as we talked about the due process for all to make sure we have advocates that are able

to understand the immigration and being the advocate inside the courtroom is critically important so thank you (clapping) >> i'll make my comments brief i'm deep, deep honored and thank you supervisor campos for his leadership for immigration reporters and the board as supervisor kim said those issues get controversial and challenging but the board has comfortable supported immigration and i'm proud to live in the city. and also super they've for the board of supervisors for the island on the network none of my work would be possible without our support and being part of a network across rational and ethnic communities that fight for the rights now in delores
