            5            MR. HORTON:  As we all know that the circle of 

            6   life has a tendency to bless us with some wonderful, 

            7   wonderful memories and we certainly will have joyous 

            8   memories of Miss Cazadd and are appreciative of her 

            9   compassion, her competence but most of all her 

           10   commitment to the individual team members in our 

           11   collective group that we refer to as the family of the 

           12   Board of Equalization.  

           13            The circle of life also brings about challenges 

           14   for us with the passing of our loved ones and we wanted 

           15   to take this opportunity to present a resolution to   

           16   Miss Cazadd on behalf of her mom.  

           17            Member Yee.

           18            MS. YEE:  Thank you, Chairman Horton.  

           19            It is with tremendous honor, and I know I speak 

           20   on behalf of the entire Board, with our deepest sympathy 

           21   to recognize Alice May Friederichs and -- who left us 

           22   suddenly on December 12th, just about a week ago and, 

           23   obviously, Miss Cazadd very, very devoted to her mother.  

           24            But something that we just wanted to have an 

           25   opportunity to share with all of you, she was an award 

           26   winning renowned artist.  And I think certainly when I 

           27   think about artists it's always about how through just 

           28   beautiful work of hands, you're able to share so much 




                                                                      3




                                                                       


            1   of -- of the natural beauty with so many and all around 

            2   the world.  

            3            She studied with many well-known artists using 

            4   a variety of media.  And, you know, she in her own right 

            5   just was so acknowledged for the the work that she did 

            6   and particularly a painting that did the called "Dancing 

            7   Cranes" at California Watercolor Biennial Competition 

            8   and Exhibition at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, that 

            9   I think certainly she leaves a legacy.

           10            And Kristine, I think just knowing, and 

           11   hopefully knowing how her works of art have touched so 

           12   many with so much beauty I hope can bring you peace and 

           13   comfort and wish you and your family the best during 

           14   this very, very difficult time.  

           15            We'd love to present this resolution to you in 

           16   honor of your mother.

           17            MS. CAZADD:  Thank you so much, Members, it's 

           18   very much appreciated.
