“Great. I'll echo the comments of my colleagues. And I do enjoy the robust discussions we have. If we all have the same opinion, we just need one of us up here.

“And you did a great job. And I do want to commend our staff on a fantastic commemoration of the 25th anniversary of 9-11. It was a hugely successful event. Nicole Coates worked her tail off to put together a really impressive ceremony. It was well attended. We had a lot of different fire departments here. We had PBSO here. We had military here. We had FDNY. Police Department of New York.

We've lost a lot of that. We…”

“Well, welcome to Wellington, Chief Garcia. We look forward to working with you. Quite a welcome out there tonight for the event. So you see what we're used to in Wellington and how much we appreciate our first responders. And usually this is always a goodbye, but this is nice. It's not a goodbye this time. It's just that you're staying with us. You're just changing job titles. So it's a double win for us. So we're excited to keep you both. Thank you.”
