service with the city; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Chapa joined the city staff in November of | ||
1978 as department head for employment programs after having | ||
served the League of United Latin American Citizens in a variety | ||
of positions; he was appointed by the city council to the | ||
position of secretary in 1985; and | ||

WHEREAS, An exemplary public servant, he is respected and | ||
