A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending Bruce Morgan on the occasion of his retirement; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
Bruce Morgan began his career with the State of Georgia at the Georgia Public
Service Commission as the pipeline safety inspector with the Facilities
Protection Unit (FPU) on July 1, 1980, and has served for more than 34 years;
and
WHEREAS,
he has provided expert technical analyses to the commission, having served 19
current and former commissioners; and
WHEREAS,
Bruce has been employed in several different capacities during his tenure at the
commission, including as a pipeline safety inspector and his most recent
position as a pipeline safety supervisor; and
WHEREAS,
he assisted in spearheading the efforts to require the replacement of thousands
of miles of potentially dangerous, aging cast iron and bare steel pipelines
within the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
his tireless efforts to construct and implement informative and hands-on gas
safety seminars around the State of Georgia that nationally have always been of
the highest priority and are indicative of his passion for safety and commitment
to public service; and
WHEREAS,
Bruce's leadership ability and superior knowledge of the natural gas industry
has assisted the commission with numerous safety and enforcement efforts;
and
WHEREAS,
in addition to the many responsibilities and duties he was assigned, Bruce, in
his unofficial capacity as the "grandfather" of FPU, has expertly served as an
advisor to the commissioners, his peers, and others in the industry alike;
and
WHEREAS,
Bruce has decided to respond to a higher calling by pursuing his hobby as a
master bee-keeper to provide for the pollination of food crops, which are vital
to the citizens of Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
Bruce has served with honor and distinction with the Georgia Public Service
Commission, and his vision and unyielding commitment will be sorely missed upon
the occasion of his retirement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend Bruce Morgan for 34 years of hard work and tireless dedication
to the preservation of the lives and property of Georgia's citizens and
utilities.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Bruce Morgan.
