            5            MR. HORTON:  Ms. Richmond.  

            6            MS. RICHMOND:  Our next item is the 

            7   Administrative Session.  Item N, the Consent Agenda.  

            8   N1, Board Resolution for Jan K. Ishii.  

            9            MR. HORTON:  Oh.  

           10            Members, let's take up the consent agenda.  

           11            MS. YEE:  Uh, move approval.  

           12            MR. HORTON:  It's been moved -- move approval 

           13   of consent agenda by Member Yee.  Second by Member 

           14   Runner.  

           15            Discussion, Members?  

           16            MS. YEE:  Just, uh, extending deepest 

           17   sympathies to the family.  

           18            MS. STEEL:  I -- 

           19            MR. HORTON:  Member Steel.  

           20            MS. STEEL:  I think Board of Equalization we 

           21   have a lot of staff and, you know, we lose, um -- it 

           22   seems like lose one of the members once in a while.  And 

           23   it's really sad to, you know, let people go, uh, from 

           24   our lives.  And at the same time that, you know, I just 

           25   feel really bad for his family and especially his wife 

           26   Barbara and their son.  

           27            So --

           28            MR. HORTON:  I, too, want to add my condolence 




                                                                      3




                                                                       


            1   to the family.  

            2            Um, Jan Ishii was just an outstanding human 

            3   being.  I spent, uh, a lot of time with him.  Arguably, 

            4   uh -- he was actually my first supervisor, uh, at the 

            5   Board of Equalization at the age of 18.  Uh, I started 

            6   here as an intern.  I was just telling the story, in 

            7   fact.  And so this sort of slipped my mind.  

            8            Uh, Tom Okato (phonetic) had recommended me to 

            9   Jan Ishii, uh, as a promising student which I didn't 

           10   believe but they did.  And I interviewed with Jan, and 

           11   he hired me as a student intern and, of course, 

           12   encouraged me, uh, through my career to continue to look 

           13   at the Board of Equalization as a -- as a, uh, career 

           14   and as a place to, uh -- to, uh, grow and prosper.  

           15            And so, arguably, I would not be before you 

           16   today if it wasn't for Jan Ishii and others that are 

           17   like him.  And so I -- not only do I, uh, have a deep 

           18   debt of gratitude to this, uh, awesome, just awesome, 

           19   individual, he will be missed.
