 Oh, yeah. Okay, Senator, I have here, what do you? Staff recognition is the last item on the agenda. If we have Senator Brown, we're gonna just hold for sight. We're gonna have a little staff recognition. Thank you for those who've come and testified on this issue and appreciate your testimony here today. Now we're moving to the next item on the agenda, which is staff recognition and legislative council. Dr. Johnson wishes to speak. Thank you, Mr. Chair. It has been a longstanding tradition of the legislative council committee to recognize the services of staff of the legislative council and their longevity and their work. Length of service. Length of service. That's the term I was looking for. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I knew there was a term of art out there and it was just not coming. I'll note that because the legislative council committee has not met regularly, has only met for very particular reasons since 2004, these service awards are actually, we're prepared for a 2006 meeting. And so the folks I'm about to recognize have actually put in considerably longer period of time than what is being recognized today. But having said that, let's like to recognize all of these people for their tremendous work with the office starting off with Lucy Hilburn, who is our Publication Service Manager. And I'd like to ask when I mention these folks that they stand up for a minute. She is the Publication Service Manager. She supervises permanent staff of 15 copy editors and word processing specialists and session staff during regular session and the six months or so following that during which the editing and compilation of the ORS that we've just been discussing occurs. Of an additional nine, she's been with the office since 1993 and this award is for 10 years of service. She's been with us since 1993. That's more than 10 years. That's right, Mr. Chair. This is the award schedule for August 2000. So I know that, but how long therefore has she been with us? She has been with us since, you're gonna challenge my math. 1993, add that that's 10 plus five. She's been with us 15 years. 15 years. Lucy's been with us for 15 years. Thank you. Mr. Chair. The length of service is 15 years, go ahead. Mr. Chair, I have to warn you there's a reason I became a lawyer rather than an engineer that it's because I cannot handle math things too well. I don't know what I was saying. Next, there's Helen Lewis, who also started in 1993. So she has in fact been with the office also 15 years, but this is a recognition for 10 years worth of service for her. She is a senior publications specialist with the office. She is one of two that does all of the operating of the very complex word processing build drafting system that we have. She is also a very heavily engaged in the testing of the new build drafting system that is being developed for the office. And she is originally from England by way of California and she's been here in Salem since 1993. Thank her for. Thank you. Thank you Helen for your 15 years service. Next, there's Chad Colburn, who has also been with the office since 1995. And he is currently the Publications Indexer for the office and has been a net capacity since 2002. He is overseas, the staff of himself and someone else I'm going to mention in just a moment in preparing the not only the ORS index, the bill index that you use throughout the session and the session law index and a number of other publications as well. So he has been here for 13 years, but this is 10 years of service for him. Thank you, Chad. Thanks, John. Next is Steve Loudal, who's also in the indexing department at legislative council and he has been with the office since 2000 and first starting off as a session copy editor. And now he also works with Chad in preparing the ORS index, the bill index, the session law index and a number of other indexes that legislative council produces. So he's been here for eight years, but this is a recognition for five years of service. Thanks, Steve. Next is Anna O'Brien, who started in December of 1994 as a session copy editor. She's not from England. She's not from England. She actually is one half of the conflicts team in the Publication Services Department. Now conflicts are a very unique specialty. This situation arises when you consider and pass two or more bills that get a man the same ORS section. And she along with her colleague, Mike Stock, prepare the amendments that make sure that those multiple amendments work together. And it's a very, very challenging work. She puts in extraordinarily long hours in doing that. In addition, she also is very heavily involved in the new development of the new bill drafting program as well. So this is, she's been here since 1994. So that is 14 years of service. This is her tenure recognition for 10 years of service. Thank you, Anna. Next is Mike McKay, who is a senior editor with Publication Services staff. And he's been with the office since 1995. He's a team leader back there. He oversees development of the specialty. In addition to his copy editing services, the overseas, the specialty publications and agency publications work that the office does. The office prepares, in addition to the ORS, prepares specialty publications in areas like criminal law, family law, et cetera. And also particular publications on behalf of, I think, 12 state agencies. And in addition to his regular copy editing work. This is recognition for 10 years of service, though he has been here for 13 years. Thank you. Good job. I'm going to go and raise a lease. I'm going to raise a lease. And finally, there is Nancy Ankenbrandt, who has been a word processing specialist with the office, has been here in that capacity since 2000. So it's eight years, though this is recognizing five years of service. And again, she is one of the computer experts that makes sure that the work that you do looks like it's supposed to look. Thank you. We need to find a way that every five years we do something significant like this to recognize every five years, every five years of service, I think, for our employees, because we're only as good as you are. I'm Tonya, we can't do this at all, right? I mean, without legislative counsel and the other people here, we're just here and we might talk to the press and have pictures taken, but we don't get it done at all. So you're our lifeblood and I really appreciate it. Another thing I want to acknowledge, you all have been here during a major disruption. You've all been displaced, you're living down the road, you had to live down there during that February session. And I know that hasn't been easy, right? It's been hard down there. And so you're going to come back soon to see us, but I know that you had to move up and move out, plus you have to be going back and forth, right? Between here and there. And so we also remember that as we honor these very long-served employees. So thank you and thank you Dexter. We really do need to get though that every five years, make sure that we find a way to highlight the great service of the people that take care of us. Thank you. Okay, I appreciate all of you being here and being patient because we're in the noon hour now. With this, we will adjourn the legislative council committee.
