good morning, i am f.x. crowley, a native son of san francisco and employees to be here today, having been nominated by gavin newsom to serve the port commission of the city and county of san francisco. as most of you know, i am employed by 1200 members by the international alliance of the international staging points. i am the chief negotiator for several hundred business and government contracts totaling more than $50 million in annual wages to our members. i interface daily with a local state and city governments and and the trustee with our defined benefit plans. in addition, my professional experience to the labor is in california. i have also had the pleasure to serve the city of san francisco's public utility commission since 2008, including the past year, as president of that commission. my involvement with the sfpuc has been enhanced with my understanding of municipal government and has deepened my respect and gratitude for the men and women who are executing the sfpuc's vision. as you know, the sfp

f.x., wellcome. you are going to enjoy this. if you thought i was insane to walk away, i think i might be. even coming in and looking at these beautiful pictures -- i'm walking away from what i describe as of the port really blossoming. three years ago, and where it is going to be in a few years, and by 2013 -- is going to be a different place. maybe i'm a little bit crazy, but i think i'm going to be able to enjoy that and watch you guys grow this place even larger than it is now. very quickly, and not to get too personal, relationships, when you are involved in something like this, whether it is fellow commissioners or staff, they start off as acquaintances. they become friends. then you professionally get to know each other. at this juncture, in year five, i really felt like i was getting into another plateau with everyone in the room here. i appreciate that. i'm not going to walk away from that easily. the planning commission will be very interesting. it will be very different. very technical. this is technical, but that is

supervisor alioto-pier: with f.x.. ok -- ethics. ok. >> i apologize, i misspoke. supervisor alioto-pier: it is the opposite, isn't it? >> yes, i am sorry, your absolutely correct. they do file with them, others do not. supervisor alioto-pier: i do not understand why. people go to the ethics department to find out all sorts of things -- i do not understand why we would not just keep them there. >> that is section b1, those are people that need to list for 700 and two other f.x. forms. the sunshine ordinance declaration and to give it up training declaration. all those people must file all three separate things with the commission. department heads of those state entities only need to file form 700, which is why they are broken out in different sections. i'm sorry, they are listed on page 7 between lines 10 -- supervisor alioto-pier: i see it. >> i apologize. looks like we are deleting things, but we are moving them around. hopefully, next time it will be more clear. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. >> and i do realize it is a quite lengthy document. we do have ma

i want to start off with f.x. those are some big shoes to fill. here's a myanother native san franciscan. they did such a great job. the best thing that he did was getting burned into politics. he found out where he fought on through, where his neighbors all turned against him, and he has such credibility and stamina. he just bit his tongue and went through it. ronnie has done a lot of great things. one of his strong points is his ability to analyze things and deal with it in a business manner. nobody has rodney in his pocket. i'm looking forward to the day he calls me for a check when he is running for mayor. thank you.
