“Yeah, I'll jump in. I had the pleasure of meeting Warren Garcia last week and I really feel good about this choice. I appreciate the effort that went into it, the search committee and going through all those resumes. While Dwight is irreplaceable, Juan will be an excellent addition to our team, and I look forward to working with him and having him be here and allow for a smooth transition. As you can see, Dwight is still here to train him and to show him where all the... all the things that the clerks need to know. There's like a passing of the baton, so to speak. So I'm glad that we'll be…”

“Very nice. Okay. Any other public comment? I mean, is it about the selection of the new? Because I think it would be more appropriate if we're going to, you know, I'd love to hear nice things about Dwight, but I think maybe we should do that in public comment. But I didn't know that you were going to speak about threat. I would have said the same thing. I apologize. So anyone that wants to comment on the selection of our new clerk? Seeing none, I'm closing public comment. And all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, none. Passes unanimously. Welcome to the team. Would we invite him up? Yes.…”
