congratulations, manfred. and i think we have howard twong say a few words on manfred's behalf. >> general manager herrera, president moran, i'm happy but also sad to introduce manfred wong today. manfred has been a servant, a public servant with the city over 33 year, 25 of which with the p.u.c. he started his career in the 1980s during the clean water program. and helped build many of the city's existing critical waste water assets, including transport storage boxes and tunnels. that convey flows to our waste water treatment facilities. many of those assets we now take for granted, but are so fortunate to have today. he's also one of the toughest negotiators i know. maybe that was one of the reasons why he has been assigned on many of our interdepartmental or joint projects with the m.t.a. and the public works. manfred helped develop generations of staff he worked with, myself included. so thank you, manfred, and congratulations on a career well done. [applause] >> lastly, i'd like to recognize marge vizcarr
