next we'll hear from jane tobin. hi. >> if i can read this.ou so much for considering my application to renewny role as a commissioner. i came to the commission in 2015, with over 25 years of experience volunteering, fundraising, and advocating on behalf of the animals of san francisco. i began as a volunteer at animal care and control in 1992 and eventually in 2000, along with handful of volunteers, formed the non-profit friends of animal care and control. i served as board president from 2008 until the end of my term in 2015. and during that time, i became familiar with the non-profit rescue organization, along with a.c.c., that call san francisco home and formed this incredible support network. i have worked both sides of the issues, both human and animal. and have a deep understanding of the balance needed to share space and resources equitably. i consider both when listening to issues before the commission and seek recommendations that reflect that dual perspective. specifically i'd like to address the relevancy of this commission and how

so i'd like to put forward russell for seat 4 and jane tobin for seat 5. and then for seat 6, i'd like to put forward michaelangelo torres. i do think it's important that we have someone from the latin community, who is able to reach that population in the city, which, you know, might have some specific issues around animals and to have that cultural connection, someone from the mission especially who is able to connect with them that way. i think it's important. having said that, cindy, this was an impossible decision. you are overly qualified for this position. and i really encourage you to -- >> thank goodness that's what i wanted to hear. [laughter] >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i hope to still be here as chair and cheering you on. so thank you so much. so again just to repeat, to make sure our chair got it, i would like to make a motion to put forward russell for seat 4, jane for seat 5 and michaelangelo for seat 6. and to move that forward with positive recommendation. can i take that without objection? without objection, that motion passes.
