“Thank you. I appreciate you bringing awareness to this, because it's exactly as you described. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer many, many years ago, but caught early. He's 93 years old now, still going strong, but because they detected it in such an early stage, they were able to obviously take care of it. He's never had a single problem. So thank you very much for bringing awareness to this because more men need to know that this is something that can be taken care of just with a simple exam. So thank you very much.”

Service dogs provide greater independence,…”

“Thank you so much, Yeager, for that presentation. And I heard that it might be true. I heard a rumor that Yeager was named after Dodger great Steve Yeager, who is the father of my legislative director, Josh Yeager. So thank you so much for that demonstration. I think what we just saw shows how much training, trust, and teamwork goes into every service dog partnership, and more importantly, the difference that partnership can make in someone's everyday life. I want to thank Haley and Anya for sharing their story with us today, Alana for joining us, and Canine Companions along with all the…”

“Colleagues, I'd like to adjourn in memory of Daniel Castillo, Gage Weta, Eliana Moreno, George Marcineau, and Eddie Gutierrez Mejia, the five lives that were tragically lost during the horrific events that occurred in Chatsworth on Tuesday.

His daughter remembers him as someone who brought laughter and light to others' lives. He put his family first and treasured the time he spent with them. Those closest…”

First and foremost, My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, which is, as of this morning, a total of at least five individuals. We are also praying for those who…”

Now, during normal rainy winter seasons, we are tasked with all different types of weather-related and this year we need to be to increase our efforts to make sure that small incidents don't grow to larger problems. And with us at the desk is the Emergency Management Department of the City of Los Angeles and…”

“So when I hear this, I just want to say I appreciate the conversations that all of our departments and bureaus are having together to prepare for what is looming ahead for us here in the city of Los Angeles. When I look at all the different departments that are involved with getting us ready for this, whether it be MD, police department, fire department, who weren't called to the table, and all the different bureaus, you are what I say is the core responsibility of the City of Los Angeles. You provide the core services of what we do. So it isn't sometimes, you know, as general managers, it's…”
