R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Residents of College Station lost an accomplished
public servant with the passing of city manager H. Frank Simpson on
April 27, 2013, at the age of 49; and
WHEREAS, A graduate of Texas A&M University, Mr. Simpson
earned his bachelor's degree in political science and his master's
degree in public administration; he began his outstanding career in
municipal government with the City of College Station, where he
worked in public utilities and various administrative capacities;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. Simpson went on to serve for a year as assistant
city manager in La Marque before accepting a city manager position
in Center in 1995; after six years there and several years as city
manager of Webster, he joined the Missouri City staff in 2004; and
WHEREAS, Following an exemplary seven-year tenure,
Mr. Simpson returned to College Station to oversee public works,
water services, and the electric utility in his role as deputy city
manager; shortly thereafter he became interim city manager and
served for two months before being unanimously approved by the city
council as city manager; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Simpson was highly respected for his expertise
in his field, and his notable record of achievement led Governor
Rick Perry to appoint him to the board of the Texas Municipal
Retirement System; and
WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to his family and to his fellow
citizens, Frank Simpson made a meaningful difference in the lives
of many people, and his exceptional contributions to the
communities he served will continue to resonate in the years to
come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of H. Frank Simpson and
extend sincere sympathy to his wife, Kelly, to his three children,
and to all those who mourn his passing; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of H. Frank
Simpson.
