|
||
| WHEREAS, After 33 years of distinguished service with the | ||
| City of Gatesville, Luis Lobo retired from his position as | ||
| assistant city manager in December 2014, and the conclusion of his | ||
| outstanding career provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on the | ||
| contributions of this esteemed professional; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Lobo graduated from Laredo Martin High School in | ||
| 1971 and went on to attend Sul Ross State University; he worked as | ||

| helped to secure funds for a number of municipal projects, many of | ||
| them relating to water and wastewater; the development of the | ||
| city's water infrastructure, in which he played such a vital role, | ||
| has been crucial to the growth that Gatesville has experienced over | ||
| the past several decades; Mr. Lobo was also instrumental in | ||
| bringing to fruition a range of other projects, as well as in | ||
| balancing the city budget; during his time with the City of | ||

| members, and hundreds of city employees, and he also served as | ||
| interim city manager on two separate occasions; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In retirement, Mr. Lobo looks forward to spending | ||
| more time with his wife, Dolores, and hopes to write a book about | ||
| the city, in addition to doing some teaching; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Luis Lobo's dedication to his work and his | ||
| commitment to excellence have greatly benefited the citizens of | ||
| Gatesville, and he may reflect with pride on his many achievements | ||
| as he embarks on the next exciting chapter of his life; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Luis Lobo on his retirement as | ||
| assistant city manager of Gatesville and extend to him sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
