        HONORING  Jack  Falvo Jr. upon the occasion of his

        to the Schenectady Police Department

  WHEREAS,  It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize and
honor  those  distinguished  officers  and  citizens  who  would  devote
themselves  to public service, demonstrating great courage and diligence
in providing  for  the  care  and  welfare  of  the  citizens  of  their
communities and this great Empire State; and

  WHEREAS,  Within  every community of the State of New York there are
certain individuals who, by virtue of their commitment  and  dedication,
command  the  respect  and  admiration  of  their  community  for  their
exemplary contributions and service on behalf of others; and

nine-month period in 2002; and

  WHEREAS, In 2018, Jack Falvo Jr. was chosen by the Mayor to  oversee
the  Buildings  Department  in  2018,  an  effort  designed  to  improve
coordination between the building, police and fire department,  and  fix
issues  with  code enforcement following a fatal 2015 Jay Street fire in
Schenectady, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Coined by the Schenectady City Council as  the  "unofficial

Hospital; and

  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
dedicated  public  servants  who  unselfishly  devote their lives to the
preservation of order and the protection of others are  worthy  and  due
full praise for their commitment and noble endeavors; now, therefore, be
it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Jack Falvo Jr. upon  the  occasion  of  his  retirement  from  the
