| 3 | Representatives wish to congratulate Cindi Lotz on the | ||||||
| 4 | occasion of her retirement after serving 40 years in the | ||||||
| 5 | Fayette County Supervisor of Assessments office; and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, Cindi Lotz was hired as a temporary employee in | ||||||
| 7 | 1983; her duty was to type approximately 20,000 assessment | ||||||
| 8 | notices and mail them to Fayette County residents; she was | ||||||

| 10 | Assessments Lyle Ballance; and
| ||||||
| 11 | WHEREAS, Cindi Lotz worked under Supervisor Ballance for | ||||||
| 12 | several years until he retired and encouraged her to run for | ||||||
| 13 | Fayette County Supervisor of Assessments as the Republican | ||||||
| 14 | nominee in 1994; she was successful and proudly served Fayette | ||||||
| 15 | County as an elected official for seven terms, a total of 28 | ||||||
| 16 | years; and
| ||||||
| 17 | WHEREAS, During Cindi Lotz's time as the Fayette County | ||||||
| 18 | Supervisor of Assessments, she was instrumental in the | ||||||
| 19 | implementation of the GIS system (Geographic Information | ||||||
| 20 | System) in Fayette County, completing all of the mapping and | ||||||
| 21 | maintenance of the GIS system herself; she handled this large | ||||||
| 22 | project with the utmost professionalism and brought the system | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | up to date; Fayette County residents can now view their | ||||||
| 2 | property information online, a major convenience for all | ||||||
| 3 | taxpayers; and
| ||||||
| 4 | WHEREAS, Cindi Lotz served on the board of the Illinois | ||||||
| 5 | Chief County Assessment Officers (CCAO), starting in 2004; she | ||||||
| 6 | worked her way through the ranks and served as the president | ||||||
| 7 | from 2012 to 2013; it was her responsibility to set all agendas | ||||||
| 8 | and organize and obtain viable speakers for educational | ||||||
| 9 | opportunities for the CCAO membership; and
| ||||||
| 10 | WHEREAS, Serving as president, Cindi Lotz presided over | ||||||
| 11 | all of the committees, but legislation was one of her | ||||||
| 12 | favorites; she was an advocate for all taxpayers in Illinois, | ||||||
| 13 | not only those from Fayette County; she stood for what she | ||||||
| 14 | believed to be right; while she was president of CCAO, she | ||||||
| 15 | loved to mentor the newer county assessors; she was always | ||||||
| 16 | very proud to have dedicated her career to public service and | ||||||
| 17 | the assessment profession; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 18 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
| 19 | HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
| 20 | we congratulate Cindi Lotz on her retirement after serving 40 | ||||||
| 21 | years in the Fayette County Supervisor of Assessments office, | ||||||
| 22 | and we wish her the best in all her future endeavors; and be it | ||||||
| 23 | further
