WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Chief Ron Moellenberg of the Pflugerville Fire | ||
Department, who has been named the recipient of the 2021 Texas | ||
Fire Chiefs Association Lone Star Achievement Award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Chief Moellenberg received this prestigious award | ||
in honor of more than four decades of outstanding work advancing | ||
the emergency medical and fire services in Travis County; a | ||
United States Army veteran, he has also served as an immunization | ||
specialist with the state health department and as a member of | ||
the Pflugerville City Council; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ron joined the Pflugerville Volunteer Fire | ||
Department in 1978; he became its first full-time chief in 1986, | ||
and he was instrumental in transitioning the department from a | ||
volunteer organization into a fully paid, professional fire | ||
department; under his leadership, the Pflugerville Fire | ||
Department, also known as Travis County Emergency Services | ||
District Number 2, received a Class 1 rank from an | ||
insurance-rating company; and | ||
WHEREAS, Chief Moellenberg led the efforts that created a | ||
fire-department-based emergency medical services program to | ||
improve transport in the county; due to his expertise and | ||
leadership, the Pflugerville Fire Department has also become a | ||
valuable resource for the Texas State Association of Fire and | ||
Emergency Districts; and | ||
WHEREAS, An exemplary public servant, Chief Moellenberg | ||
has had a significant impact on the delivery of emergency | ||
services in Travis County, and it is truly fitting that he | ||
receive special recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Chief Ron Moellenberg on his many | ||
years of outstanding service to the people of Pflugerville and | ||
extend congratulations to him for receiving the 2021 Texas Fire | ||
Chiefs Association Lone Star Achievement Award; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
