	Leadership Circle; initiated in December 2009, the program honors

	was honored for the eighth consecutive year with the Certificate of
	Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting; presented by the
	Government Finance Officers Association, the award is the top form
	of recognition given by the group in the area of governmental
	accounting and financial reporting; and
	WHEREAS, Keeping taxpayers informed about how public monies
	are spent helps to maintain a high level of trust between citizens
	and their government, and the City of Rowlett truly merits praise
	for its accomplishments in this worthy endeavor; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the City of Rowlett on earning
	honors from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the
	Government Finance Officers Association and commend the staff of

	work; and, be it further
