our members went and painted owl of the -- and remodeled all of the bathrooms in chinatown for all of the restaurants so we could offer the facilities to the tourists, so we came a long way. the only thing that i feel we still need to do is for the city to think of a way to deputize a lot of us so every time we see somebody littering the street we can write them a citation. if i see somebody spit on the sidewalk i issue them a citation, and let me tell you people throwing cigarette butts around we give them a citation. honesty that's what we needed, and then i do have a book from the police department, but since ed became mayor i didn't want to use it and accuse

him of giving me the citation book so instead i choose to carry this cane, and let me tell you it has worked wonders. this morning i used it on a guy in a suit who was about 55 years old when he spitted. i accidentally hit him in the knew with my cane and then i said "you spit" and i tried to avoid it and i hit you accidentally so what are you going to do? call the police? so i can give you a citation for spitting and nothing irks me more than the garbage around. we're are one of the most densely populated areas in the whole city. plus we have a majority of the tourists coming to our area and we are also situated between the financial district and the hotel row so

you can understand the volume of garbage that we produce everyday in the streets, but still our citizens should do their part to keep chinatown clean. thank you very much. i can thank dpw and the park and rec enough for all their hard work. thank you. [applause] >> please give rose park another round of applause because her leadership is unmatchable in this area. [applause] next person i'm going to introduce is someone that many of you know or might not know is ms. naomi kelly and the city administrator and she is out there ahead of all of us trying to make sure we can raise the money to keep this clean up going so that we're able to buy lunch for you. we're able to get some of the supplies that we need so she's going to thank all of the groups out here today and give her a big hand and welcome

in your team. someone wearing a public works vest or park and rec vest will advise you on what to do. that's a simple rule. and enjoy and don't forget the 15 years of clean teams and we come back here and share stories and break . thank you very much for coming out. i very much appreciate it. (fire works).
