recognize Mayor Laura Hill of Southlake, who is retiring after | ||
nearly two decades of outstanding service to the city; and | ||
WHEREAS, Laura Hill began her distinguished career in public | ||
service in 2004, when she was elected to the Southlake City Council; | ||
she became the first woman to serve as Southlake's mayor after her | ||
election in 2015, and she was reelected in 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout her service in public office, she has | ||
been noted for her focus on issues affecting young people, and she | ||
is the cofounder of multiple organizations geared toward supporting | ||
students; in addition, following a forthright discussion with | ||
Southlake High School students about inclusion and diversity, she | ||
created the Mayor's Alliance for Unity and Culture to address issues | ||
of race and discrimination; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mayor Hill has also been committed to making city | ||
government more transparent and more responsive to the | ||
community, and she has actively participated in such community | ||
forums as Meet the Mayor events and Coffee and Conversation | ||
roundtable discussions; she has been a dedicated supporter of the | ||
city's first responders, and under her leadership, the police and | ||
fire departments have achieved the highest levels of | ||
accreditation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mayor Hill has been active in a number of | ||
professional and civic organizations, including the Southlake | ||
Chamber of Commerce, the Metroport Cities Partnership, and the | ||

special recognition as she moves forward from her role as | ||
Southlake's mayor; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Mayor Laura Hill on her exceptional | ||
service to the people of Southlake and extend to her best wishes for | ||
