1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives wish to honor Richard J. Mark for his work in | ||||||
4 | his community; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, Richard Mark serves as president and CEO of the | ||||||
6 | Ameren Illinois Company; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, A native of Collinsville, Richard Mark has been | ||||||
8 | keenly involved in uplifting the City of East St. Louis; as | ||||||
9 | president and chief executive officer of the City of East St. | ||||||
10 | Louis' last remaining hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, he oversaw | ||||||
11 | the turnaround of the hospital, which was, at one time, a | ||||||
12 | premier medical facility south of Springfield; as the fortunes | ||||||
13 | of East St. Louis slipped, so did the economic stability of St. | ||||||
14 | Mary's; during his tenure, the hospital was turned around to | ||||||
15 | fiscal solvency and was featured on one of the national nightly | ||||||
16 | news programs for its efforts to sustain economic challenges as | ||||||
17 | an inner city hospital; and
| ||||||
18 | WHEREAS, Richard Mark served as chairman of the East St. | ||||||
19 | Louis School District 189 Financial Oversight Panel for 10 | ||||||
20 | years; when the District proposed to sell the abandoned Parsons | ||||||
21 | Field far below its market value, he insisted that the School | ||||||
22 | Board revisit the sale, thus ensuring that a $30,000 sale was |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | changed to a $300,000 sale; and
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, Richard Mark serves as a model of hard work, | ||||||
3 | integrity, and dedication for the people of the State of | ||||||
4 | Illinois; therefore, be it
| ||||||
5 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
6 | NINETY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
7 | we congratulate Richard J. Mark for his work in his community | ||||||
8 | and wish him continued success and happiness in the future; and | ||||||
9 | be it further
| ||||||
10 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
11 | presented to Richard Mark as a symbol of our esteem and | ||||||
12 | respect.
