Council member Ressler, I I will share with you something I told to deputy commissioner Popa, that was at in one twenty four hour period or one day when I during my counsel tenure, I was called a right wing reactionary and then a rhino.
3:19:17
And I thought to myself, well ain't that the damnedest thing?
3:19:21
Deputy Commissioner Popra and her team take incoming from some folks in sort of the environmental community and then the real estate industry simultaneously.
3:19:31
And I think it's an indication
Lincoln Restler
3:19:32
And everybody in between.
James "Jimmy" S. Oddo
3:19:33
Yeah.
3:19:33
Yeah.
3:19:34
And I think it's an indication that she and her team have attempted to be rational and reasonable, particularly most recently in the the extensions and she continues a common sense approach in carrying out this unique piece of legislation.
3:19:53
So
Lincoln Restler
3:19:54
But it wouldn't work if you didn't also bring a reasonable and common sense approach from your seat as commissioner.
3:20:00
So I wanna say I'm grateful to her, but I'm also grateful to you.
3:20:05
And you've just always been an exceptionally pragmatic, solution oriented leader in government in all the years that I've worked with you.
3:20:11
And that's the the commitment that you bring to working with our offices and every day, and I'm I'm grateful for that.

My job is to get the most out of the good folks I surround myself with, and I think their their potential is being seen every day.
