ann aherne, an anchor for the commission for quite a few years, will also be retiring in july. the category here is that they have a boy served the city and have more importantly always put their good work through the efforts of the department, and for that, we will always be thankful. also, i would like to commend the staff. dan lowry, chief building inspector. steve penelli, the chief plumbing inspector. rosemary, a housing inspector. john, and the acting senior building inspector. they have provided a whole range of categories of performance ranging from addressing nov's and inspections. when i look at the numbers, it is really commendable. again, thank them for their continued service, and good job and good work. also, i would also like to say the effort of the commission would be to also maintain and keep moving forward with the balance of the year, strong support for not only staff, but for the categories of how the department will continue to perform and take on the challenges of reduced staff, but at the same time, probably the ingrowing load of good work that is coming
