South Bead Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - September 5, 1980 <br />4. COMOICATIONS (continues) <br />a. Mayor Parent: It has been a pleasure. <br />want to thank the Commission for <br />eat cooperation and the great work <br />at you do. I never knew you that <br />ell at the first of the year and I <br />just amazed at the action you have <br />o take and what you have to do. <br />r. Ellison: I do want to say that I <br />ppreciate all the warm remarks today.. <br />did really mean that the relationship <br />etween us has been a very, very warm <br />ne. It is quite unusual for a director <br />D establish a real friendship with the <br />Dmmissioners who supervise him. We <br />ave been able to cultivate a very <br />Itisfying relationship that has left <br />a impression on me of satisfaction <br />hat cannot be achieved elsewhere. <br />do want to say to the Mayor that he <br />ad I have been friends for a number <br />f years and I have been a supporter <br />E his since his councilmatic days <br />rid I.have also lived in his-district; <br />district he represented well for a <br />amber of years on the council. As <br />iyor, he has provided the kind of <br />aadership I think the community needs. <br />give him very high marks for his first <br />ine months in office. He has certainly <br />mdled some very difficult situations <br />--ry well... (the Blue Flu, the minority <br />acruiting of the police and fire <br />apartment) are just a few of the very <br />ifficult issues that have been handled, <br />a my estimation in the best manner <br />)ssible for this community. It is my <br />Tectation that Mayor Parent will <br />Drtainly achieve a second term if he <br />D desires and that the administration, <br />acause of the talent that is in it, <br />4r. Kernan, Mr. Hill, and Mr. McMahon <br />Long with others) will certainly <br />rovide and continue to provide best <br />aality governmental services that the <br />itizens of this community need and <br />-7- <br />
