WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize John Hrncir, who is retiring after three decades of | ||
exceptional service with the City of Austin; and | ||
WHEREAS, John Hrncir entered into service with the city in | ||
1985, after having worked with the Lower Colorado River Authority; | ||
he became the city's government relations officer in 1992; and | ||
WHEREAS, During his tenure as government relations | ||
officer, he has played a vital role in working with members of the | ||
Texas Legislature to ensure that Austin's interests receive a | ||
fair hearing; since 1992, more than 90 percent of the outcomes on | ||
key bills in the legislature relating to Austin have been | ||
positive for the city; and | ||
WHEREAS, As leader of the city's lobby team, he helped the | ||
city to secure more than $35 million in federal funding, including | ||
$11 million from the United States Army Corps of Engineers to | ||
purchase flood-damaged property along Onion Creek; and | ||
WHEREAS, An exemplary public servant, he is respected and | ||
admired by his colleagues, and his presence with the City of | ||
Austin will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend John Hrncir on his exceptional | ||
service to the people of Austin as the city's government | ||
relations officer and extend to him best wishes for continued | ||
success in all his endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
