accomplishments david chiu became our board want and leader of our member body and since then our long time serving want and the first asian-american president of the board of supervisors that is an incredible how are you honor and, of course, you prior to being elected to be supervisor doufd had a huge background working as a congressional staffer and criminal prosecutor and co-off and on a business if emphasis spare time and other community activities supervisor chiu is one of the harder working people he's passed over one hundred ordinances and 2 hundred and 40 resolution or so during his times on the board i know that i'm only able to talk to you is past 9:30 at night he's passed

resolutions clirg affordable housing and job creation and workforce development and civically and language assess and the health care and transportation and family and citizens and small businesses just to name a few also he had offered many first in the country laws including as we've passed today along with supervisor mar's phasing out plastic water bottles and setting the nations high audits of commercial building and providing socially responsible copies and associate programs for low income families and immigrant and allowed for the controversial items including the condominium conversion and

also in terms of legalization of in-law units and regretting the short-term rentals so you can see he's tackled issues at the board but aside from the work you president chiu has worked on projects in it's neighborhood including championship a new central subway for the chinese town city college and the renovation of the kwoirt i'm happy we'll have a very long advocate at our state assembly i know i certainly look forward to working with you in that new capacity i know that his staff is here today with you in the chamber justin and amy and as well as others your past katherine and all of them were wonderful staff to work with so

i wish you all the best in our next endeavors so with that, said president chiu i wanted to begin ta to thank you for all you've done and want to take the opportunity to acknowledge other supervisors supervisor wiener. >> supervisor tang and for your words i have to say this a sad day because i have enjoyed working with a number of colleagues but really am going to miss having david chiu as a colleague in this building i've known david for 20 years since he was a year

ahead of me in law school and we ended up think the board of supervisors sometimes agreeing and sometimes fighting by also doing what is the best for people of san francisco i have continually been impressed david with our ability to navigate go not just one of the most critiqued district in san francisco politically by a city that is complicated an institution in the board of supervisors that is complicated to say to be able to say not only to succeed on this body in terms of legislation and the work in our district, everything you've be able to accomplish but

to do it i believe constantly with professionalism and grace i can agree to disagree without being disagreeable i've been at any wit's end and you've kept our cool it's served you well, you've kept our cool but incredibly tenacious and pass n passionate and moved for some of the most complicated legislation to think that this board of supervisors passed legislation authorizes by david chiu to provide a hypotheses to legalization for in-law units that a few years ago that would have been absolutely impossible politically and the line items

list can go on prevention after legislation that seemed like it wasn't doable but david chiu and his amazing staff move forward and got it done you end up with scares and not everyone is happy with you but having that kind of legislator is good it's been a pleasure to work with david chiu as supervisor tang has learned quickly it's not an easy role but david chiu has navigated diffused i'm going to miss you it's not going to be the same place without you but the same skills and tan tenacity that has severed you well is to all our benefit as you represent us in

the state assembly and do us all proud. >> supervisor wiener supervisor farrell thank you, david this is a surreal day for many of us who come in when you are that the president of the board we've known nothing but you and i have been on many sides of the issues and campaigns but there are a few things coming to the board meeting today reminded me of the last four years with you first of all, as we shared a border your impressive pace of the calendar but i would go to one or two but the 5th of yours it

boggled my mind but it's been a hallmark that's served you well and just know how impressive that is and people around town the schedule you keep up and appear everything politically and per diem it's admirable i'll remember you've had a snack for the theatre phone boxes up open our podium during legislative times but you've done it very, very well and one time i'll remember in a community meeting during the board you were late and it come out you got concocted on your heels biking on pomp street with a massive wound on our chin but a imply

who limited into a community meeting i'll never forget that moment and ultimately though i'll remember about you with your work on the board it's flut for people on other side you've done one of the best jobs trying to find common ground at the board and been effective and again you know a lot of 6 to 5 votes and thiazine but i think it's a hallmark of a person that's a good legislator you've done our job well and your staff you know, i will say this i think coming in 4 years ago you set a benchmark and amy and the whole team but we'll never forth

that the late nights being in the hallways you've done an amazing job and people noted that but david chiu congratulations best of luck up in sacramento and still in good hands so congratulations. >> thank you supervisor farrell supervisor mar i'm not going to call you president only defied when you step into the shoes of tom had for years that will now be assemblyman chiu whew what were elected president it was a proud moment in the chinese community you severed us co-sponsor rallying us at times with dignity and real effort as supervisor farrell mentioned to bring us together at times it

seemed like we couldn't be brought together i won't pious that money will mistake me for you (laughter). >> and call me david and i don't think there's anyone else that might be mistaken for me but the shoes will be big to fill you'll do that with dignity and effectiveness we were talking about how many years but scott's known you longer than and it's been about 18 years i think your work in sifrz is impressive in sacramento you'll continue the sacramento workers bill of rights and the predictability scheduling there so many things to champion in sacramento i'm looking forward to seeing you shine there

as and was years ago the director of the immigrant rights coalition you were an amazing straefblg member of the board i've learned a lot from you since our served on this board as our president i know your parents are proud of you i'm looking forward to a different relationship thank you for serving chinatown and north beach and district 3 it's been an honor to serve with you david. >> thank you supervisor mar supervisor kim. >> thank you. i think enough has been said about your work and office over the last of years i think i have the special privilege i had a personal experience with defied he was one of the first people i met in san francisco in 1999,

i started with a lot of friends that david is familiar with a group called thursday we had monthly panel discussion around the chinese americans how articulate you were on issues facing our community and everyone rushed to they knew you were someone that contributed a lot and soon after that devastating and i found ourselves out of housing your restrooms were leaving we were interviewing sublets at a variety of apartment and an hour later i having had a roommate we lived together 3 years when i was a youth organizer that's a

ride that doesn't end here starting as friends and roommate that we worked open a lot of projects together i will say this about david because we cannot share too much we're under oath about living together but you know david you have also been incredibly activity i'm impressed by your stamina you were raising back and forth between 5 and that events at one point we were talking about the 9 different boards you were sitting on and when a which one did you have to let go to serve on the china i chinese board but you served on

a board it didn't change you continued to stay incredibly activity you like to be involved in everything which i know your constituents appreciate about you and clearly led to you're continuing our policy and constituent work at state level but what i will say in our years ever work i remember when you started to take to the ballot families that were immigrants that had children in our school system but couldn't elect their school board leaders so even if you maybe in our system k through 12 because you're not a citizen you can't determine policies for your kids that was actually a really, really hard campaign i remember the 6 months

recruiting us and the hurdles of criticisms were thrown our way including i remember you allowed assami bin laden to vote on the school boards that's one of the reasons the campaign lost it was unfortunate but i think that it was so appreciated i took on that site i think so many people of the you couldn't limit by it did continue an important dialog i hope we continue to have in light of president obama exclusive order regarding 4 million undocumented members of our country that contribute to this country and have a pathway

or rather will not have to live in fear of deportation i look forward to our relationship post as colleagues on the board of supervisors and really looking at to implementing the vision zero policies in sacramento with our flight of tenant protection here 90 in san francisco and congratulate you for your years of service. >> thank you, supervisor kim supervisor yee. >> thank you, supervisor. >> want to make this brief congratulations as you move on its been two years since i've known you in your capacity are i want to and there's a lot of former president of a smaller body but wince you've been in that capacity you release how

difficult it is to keep everybody together in keeping us focused of whatever our goals are i want have to say you've done a great job as much as we would disagree not only myself but other people we agree and so forth but we manage to move forward and make that a better place for san franciscans the things you've done in our life we explicit cross paths when i was working in the community but once i got to know you and you started wanting to know more about what i would be focused on in early education i realized what a quick learn and even though those were not your

tupgz as soon as i told you a few things you caught on and got the issues and supported some of the issues particularly in early education so i role appreciate what you've be able to bring to me gnaws in the two years i've benefit here good luck. >> supervisor breed. >> president chiu i won't embrace you boy talking about what happened in taiwan you met with me and extremely helpful and supportive but i also think this is because you've been a great leader as president and made yourself available i

learned a lot there were things i didn't understand and didn't know what i would be walking into you gave a guideline and information and booklet to start to research and suggestions on things to read which took up the majority of my time before i was sworn in not only was it sdreps it was great to make sure i misunderstood what i was walking into and prepared i really appreciate that i was happy to be supportive of you're being the board president you've done a great job working with me as a new member of the board of supervisors but oftentimes if one of us didn't have our vote then most of the time your legislation didn't get passed

you were also in the middle trying to work out a solution and yours the vote i also wanted to get when there was challenges with the legislation so i also want to thank you for not getting two mad going over the top sometimes i'd interrupt you and you were still diplomatic how you handled that i'd get passion noting national about the things and you were not only great but the way you treated the public and how you handled users as board want is something to amir i want to congratulate you on moving to the next level and hope that a lot of things important legislation it sacramento can only deal with in

regards to rent control and how to keep the city affordable and how to castle with proposition 209 and making the necessary issues for african-american and latino and some of the things you know that i care about as a members of the board i don't have the power to do but you'll have the power in sacramento we're looking at to seeing great things and great things happen for san francisco you're going to definitely be missed on this body and we're wondering who might be replacing you can you tell us i'm just kidding david thank you for your leadership. >> thank you for your commitment to san francisco, thank you for representing your district as a body congratulations as good luck.
