i was thinking about amending supervisor weiners resolution to have your brain photocopied. as supervisor weiner amply pointed out we all know if there's one person who knows the answer it's likely to be you. you've helped us deal with legal matter and trained entire generations of public advocates in the country your truly a lawyers lawyer. from my staff and i, we want to thank you for what you've done. i'd like to acknowledge supervisor campos. >> i want to thank you and one question remains who came first, the charter or buck i'm not sure

but it's hard to imagine the city attorney's office without buck. it's not arguably the best municipal law officials office in the country it's because of the caliber of the folks. you know, the fact you have people like vince who will soon be going to washington, d.c. and vince i'm happy to help out. but i want to say to buck is i really appreciate everything you've done. you understand the charter and the codes better than anyone and i know that perhaps as a former

deputy attorney i know that when i hear advise from you it's as sound as it gets. i know that the city attorney's office will not be the same without you but i hope you continue to, you know, stay in touch. i think the entire building will not be the same without you. as a san franciscan i want to say god supposed to you >> supervisor avalos. >> wait buck isn't retiring is he. we'd be lost without him. buck congratulations on receiving this award. i started working in

january 2005. if they want to give you an award for telling us what we can't do you've told me so many times but i'm a better legislator. and at one point you told me about the roderick dual and i checked it out so thank you for helping me with my history of san francisco >> before we hear from our lawyers lawyer i want to recognize our city attorney. >> thank you supervisor scott weiner for your kind words and from supervisor campos.

after hearing supervisor campos rendition and admiration for bucky have to tell you i know why buck is the only member of the city attorney's office that supervisor campos hadn't had an argument with. thank you for your kind words. on behalf of role the other public servants the countless individuals who have had the pleasure of working with buck. i can't thank the members of this board enough for considering this resolution today. as many of you know, it's not a initially occurrence for this board to declare an honor

reposer buck is the only one who will have received two honorary days. one was about 13 years ago on emphasis 30th anniversary. now i have another day in our honor buck in the tremendous recognition by a national and statewide organization. i can't imagine a more worthy individual than buck to get those awards and have the depiction of having two days in his honor. it's because of a unique individuals buck is. we've heard about the fact that he is the oracle in this building. hose the person is individuals turn to when they want to know the history and legality. when buck gives advise it is

beyond reproach. and if someone doesn't agree when they know it's sound and based on the law and the facts. but that ignores that doesn't do justice of who buck is as a person. the person who speaks 7 languages. i thought i had him state your name for the record my son talked to him in mandrin and he speaks mandrin. that speaks about him he's the most humane and best mentor in public life than anyone can have. harvey said he's the one individual i know i wouldn't recommend eliminating his

position (laughter) that's something he's not going to be recommended. buck thanks so much for the work but as a public sent in the city and county there's no better. supervisors i encourage you to vote for this resolution. i want to make an amendment saying buck is prevented from retiring because when he retires we'll all be worse off there's never obeying be another like buck >> so moved. with that buck >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'd like to thank supervisor weiner supervisor avalos, dennis and the rest of

the board when i graduated from hart's in 1969 i collected at the law firm and didn't like the environment and heard about a job in the city attorney's office when i got the job i was so excited to work in this city i've load this city since a child envy grandparents and great, great grandparent were here. so i was so exfoliated about getting the job i didn't ask about the salary and 43 years later i'm happy to come to work. i reported yesterday reporting i

entered a little change when the building was built in 18912 many of the decks still had the ink stains our office clerk still reported all our cases in big lernlz in handwriting and the ibm selected twoirp was just coming into the office. the space would have been built for 10 attorneys was built for 35 attorneys and one was an alderman and one female and all the rest white i've been fortunate i've had some great challenges and lewis who really

transformed the office into a diverse talented public staff and lawyers in the nation and the community outreach team. it was much to my colleagues and to the members of the board they've shown in selfless commitment with excellence. i've seen a panorama of public life former mayor friday afternoon when he returned to our office and joel holding court with his spell bounding conversation and dianne feinstein relentless compassion.

and willie brown's flaw less grasp of december tin. the the temple people's massacre and twice stopping the giant ownership from moving the city to toronto and jacksonville. the bathhouse litigation and two impeachments all unsuccessful and one city official in prison. the interrogation of rank choice voting and instant elections and local pub funding for campaigns. proposition 187 the anti state

initiative. we deal with things everyday. the composer of initiative when i came in here 3 ordinances had been adapted we now have in excess of one hundred. the rise of affirmative action and the restoration of city hall to its splendor the revises of homelessness and district elections i've been through this twhis twice in litigation at least the first time around rent control and on and on. it's been an extraordinary era. i love public law bits it's the wonderful swugs to many things.
