NEXT UP I WOULD ASK JEREMY ABBOTT, THE PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR TO COME DOWN AND WHILE HE IS, I WOULD INVITE ERIC KCI TO COME DOWN FOR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

WHEN ERIC KUNZE JOINED THE CITY OF CHANDLER IN 2001 AS A REAL ESTATE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICER, FEW COULD HAVE PREDICTED THE LASTING IMPACT HE WOULD HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT HARD WORK EXPERTISE AND A TALENT FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS. HE ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS TO LEAD THE REAL ESTATE DIVISION AS OUR REAL ESTATE ADMINISTRATOR.

ERIC HAS A BS IN MARKETING AND FINANCE FROM NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY AND HAS BEEN A LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER IN ARIZONA SINCE 1976.

OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, ERIC BECAME THE PERSON EVERYONE CALLED WHEN REAL ESTATE CHALLENGES AROSE, WHETHER SECURING LAND RIGHTS, CONDUCTING PROPERTY RESEARCH, OR HELPING RESIDENTS NAVIGATE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.

ERIC APPROACHED EVERY TASK WITH PROFESSIONALISM, PATIENCE, AND RESPECT.

HE'S BUILT STRONG RELATIONSHIPS, NOT JUST WITHIN THE CITY, BUT ALSO WITH PROPERTY OWNERS AND PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

MANY AGREEMENTS WERE REACHED OVER A CUP OF COFFEE OR A MUFFIN AT A KITCHEN TABLE REFLECTING ERIC'S BELIEF THAT SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS ARE BUILT ON TRUST AND PERSONAL CONNECTIONS.

MORE THAN 4,700 CITY PROJECTS HAVE MOVED FORWARD BECAUSE OF HIS EFFORTS OUTSIDE OF WORK.

ERIC ENJOYS FLYING AIRPLANES, PLAYING CHESS, AND CHEERING FOR THE GREEN BAY PACKERS.

HE HAS BUILT A WONDERFUL FAMILY WITH HIS WIFE ELAINE, WHO'S JOINED THIS EVENING AND SOME HIS FAMILY HERE TOGETHER.

THEY ENJOY A GROWING FAMILY THAT INCLUDES CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, AND A GREAT-GRANDCHILD.

PLEASE HELP ME IN CONGRATULATING ERIC ON 25, RESPECTFUL, RESPECTABLE, AND PROGRESSIVE YEARS WITH PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND TEAM CHANDLER.

ERIC, WE APPRECIATE YOU FAMILY.

COME ON DOWN.

OH, THIS IS GONNA BE YOUR CHRISTMAS PHOTOS.
