ON A FINAL NOTE, MR. MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF DON WORTHEN.

AND, UM, IF YOU EVER SAW THE MOVIE HIDDEN FIGURES AT THE VERY END, THEY SHOW THESE, UM, NAVY SEALS WHO HAD GOTTEN SAVED THE ASTRONAUTS IN THE OCEAN WHEN THEY'D COME DOWN FROM SPACE.

WELL, THE ACTUAL PICTURE WAS OF DON WARTHEN, THAT IT WAS GOING OUT THERE, PULLING THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THE WATER.

HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE ROCK AND GEM SOCIETY.

FOR MANY YEARS.

HE WAS ACTIVE WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

UH, HE WAS ACTIVE, UH, IN OUR COMMITTEE FOR THE VETERANS DAY PROGRAM.

JUST A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL INDIVIDUAL WHO I'VE KNOWN, UH, NEARLY 20 YEARS.

AND I'M CERTAINLY GOING TO MISS HIM.

HE WAS ON THE FIRST EVER NAVY SEAL TEAM.

YES, HE WAS.

MEAN, UH, LAURIE, I, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL BEEN SAID, BUT I'LL JUST KIND OF SAY IT AGAIN.

I JUST FEEL THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH ME BEING NEW HERE AND NOW YOU RETIRING, IT'S JUST SIMPLY NOT FAIR BECAUSE I KNOW I WOULD HAVE REALLY ENJOYED SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME WITH YOU HERE, BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU CAUSE I KNOW WHAT RETIREMENT IS LIKE, AND YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND MIKE DOES AS WELL, BUT TRULY THE SHORT TIME WE HAD TOGETHER WAS, WAS FANTASTIC.

SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

AND EXTRAVAGANZA WAS REMARKABLE.

IT WAS EXCELLENT.

ON SATURDAY NIGHT, 1500 KIDS, YOU DIDN'T APPLAUD.

UM, AND THE HELICOPTERS WERE SO DRAMATIC COMING IN LIKE A SCENE FROM A WAR MOVIE.

IT WAS REALLY VERY IMPRESSIVE, BUT I KNOW THE KIDS JUST HAD A FANTASTIC TIME.

I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO, TO THE LIONS CLUB.

LAHABRA HOST LIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE FOR EXTRAVAGANZA COOKING BREAKFAST, BUT THEY'D DONE THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST THE WEEK BEFORE.

AND THESE GUYS REALLY CONTRIBUTES SO MUCH TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY WORKED SO HARD AT THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST.

THEY WORK SO HARD AT EXTRAVAGANZA AND THEY DO SO MUCH FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS AND THEY DO SO MUCH FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.

SO I DON'T SEE ANY LINES I CAN IDENTIFY TONIGHT, BUT I HOPE THEY'RE WATCHING SOMEWHERE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THEIR EFFORTS.
