“Thank you, Council President. Colleagues, today we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Hoover Dam. We celebrate a milestone that is not just a crucial part of LADW peace history, but a pivotal moment in shaping the modern history of the city of Los Angeles. Most of us have at least a basic understanding of the relationship between Los Angeles Aqueduct and the growth and development of our city. However, very few people know how instrumental LADWP was in the efforts to build Hoover Dam and the pioneering engineering work that was involved in delivering this clean and affordable power to Los…”

“Thank you very much, Council President. You know, I'll just take a brief 20-second detour and also share with all of you. Gregory made a wonderful point in talking about how back about 70, 80 years ago, one out of every four planes were being built here in Los Angeles Basin area. Well, it was a time of also high likelihood of no regulation. the lack of regulation allowed for a lot of damaging residue from these manufacturing to seep down into our aquifers that's why we haven't been able to use our water and right now this very agency is building all the storm capture rain capture projects all…”

“Thank you, Council President. Councilwoman, thank you again for bringing this forward. I appreciate what you do day in and day out, and I appreciate your words today, because many people who are listening are being empowered by your experience and what you're talking about. And I just wanna share one quick anecdotal story with you. I wanted to go to law school. So I thought, what are some of the best experiences I can get to prepare for law school? So my first summer, of college I decided to join the San Fernando Valley Domestic Violence Clinic and start filling out paperwork and helping out.…”

“Thank you, Council President. I wanted to take a minute and recognize an individual on my team who is going to be leaving city service in a short period of time and wanted to recognize his work. I've known Hugh Esten since I first met Democrats for Neighborhood Action back in 96, 97-ish. It's a club that was formed in Los Feliz Silver Lake to support Clinton's run for president and became a very active club that harbored quite a bit of support from not just local residents but also brought in a lot of young energy to be actively involved in campaigns of all sizes. And that's where we first…”

Thank you to Liberty Hill for being here. Thank you for your 50 years of commitment to making insurmountable mountains into surmountable hills. So I appreciate the work that you've done. But I got to also focus on an individual that has laid out the groundwork and epitomizes what it means to be a change agent. Jackie has done this probably with many individuals. But 20 years ago, I was a young chief of staff for then…”

“Thank you, Council President. We have a wonderful opportunity to recognize a organization that's here taking a tour of City Hall. And I just wanted to recognize them on the floor. I was pleasantly surprised that they were going to stay this long. And they actually wanted to hear the democracy and work and listen to the public comments. So I just wanted to recognize Pars Equality Center. It's a immigrant-based organization helping out Iranian community members that have recently arrived and may not know everything having to do with healthcare, job placement, vocational training, financial…”
