whether it was zoning administrator bob passmore, dean and john ram. andrea is the backbone of that office that oversees long range city planning, physical development in san francisco and basically, the future of this town. not only is she the gatekeeper of the complicated schedule, which is why i can never get a meeting with him -- just kidding -- but she has maneuvered every last-minute change when the pesky planners need something. among the staff at the department, andrea is known for exactly what you see, which is her infectious smile, her loving warm heart, her generosity and loyal friendship. we're going miss you, andrea. outside her duties as a civil servant, she served -- this is where i met her -- as secretary to the landmark preservation advisory board. now our historic preservation commission. and while i am immensely saddened by your departure, i want to wish you the most wondrous time in your retirement on behalf of the board of supervisors. congratulations for weathering the storm, ms. green. the floor is yours.
