“All right, well then, I'll just chime in also. My congratulations to Aditi, Neil, and Chloe. This is fantastic. Our young people in our community have such great ideas, and that's captured here this evening. Thank you to Discover San Ramon, for sponsoring this. Thank you, Sean. Thank you, Beth. Thank you, Raghu, all those members of the Discover San Ramon board. Just wonderful creativity, wonderful imagination, and quite an incredible recognition, $5,000. I think that's wonderful.

“Okay. I agree with Council Member Ross. I mean, we have a very important role as fiduciaries, but I do think it's wise to delegate the fine details of managing these plans to a qualified committee. And I think the membership of the committee looks right. I think the actions as far as the oversight for the day-to-day administration and the different fiduciary functions, I think that looks right. Council's still going to maintain authority for the higher level policy decisions. And I intend to support the committee formation and approval of the resolution. So unless there's any other comments,…”

“Okay. And then a few things for me. On the 2nd of September, this was all part of National Preparedness Month for the month of September. I attended a mass care and sheltering exercise. It was done in part by City of Danville, City of San Ramon. It was down at the Danville Community Center, the Fire District, our County and State Office of Emergency Services, various role players, the County Medical Reserve Corps, team and some of their social service departments. Prior to the actual sheltering exercise, they did have some position training, but I thought it was a very successful event and it…”

“All right, thank you. Any other public comments? Okay, seeing none, then in recognition of 25 years since 9-11, I'm going to adjourn tonight's council meeting in honor of Thomas E. Burnett, Jr. Tom and his wife, Dina, and their three children lived in San Ramon. And on September 11, 2001, Tom called his wife, Dina, from on board United Flight 93 to tell her that the plane he was on en route back from Newark to San Francisco had been hijacked. Over about a 30-minute period, he made several phone calls to Dina. And on the final call, he told her, don't worry, we're going to do something. His…”
