| WHEREAS, Many proud residents of Mansfield are visiting | ||
| Austin to celebrate the distinctive attributes and achievements | ||
| of their community during Mansfield Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Located in the Cross Timbers country of North | ||
| Central Texas, south of Arlington, the settlement was first | ||
| established by pioneers in the 1840s; in the late 1850s, R. S. Man | ||
| and Julian Feild built a gristmill in the area, at the crossroads | ||
| that later became the center of the town, which was named for the | ||
| two men; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Feild soon added a general store across the | ||
| street from the mill and became the town's postmaster in 1860; | ||
| during the Civil War, the Man and Feild gristmill supplied meal | ||
| and flour to fighting soldiers, and it later did the same for | ||
| those at United States Army outposts and Indian reservations in | ||
| Texas and New Mexico; though incorporated in 1909, the town | ||
| remained a farming community until the suburban expansion of the | ||
| Dallas-Fort Worth area brought many new residents; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the city's more than 60,000 residents can | ||
| enjoy 240 acres of parks and a quality of life reflected in the | ||
| town's inclusion on Money magazine's 2012 list of the top places | ||
| to live in the United States; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mansfield will be led in 2015 by the members of | ||
| its city council, including Mayor David Cook and Mayor Pro | ||
| Tempore Larry Broseh, as well as Brent Newsom, Stephen Lindsey, | ||
| Darryl Haynes, Cory Hoffman, and Wendy Burgess; also committed to | ||
| the town's well-being are members of the Mansfield Area Chamber | ||
| of Commerce, including its executive committee, Rob Schulz, Bry | ||
| Acker, Joanie Pace, Grant Hall, David Harris, Kevin Allee, Leigh | ||
| Ann Tipping, and Dan Phillips, its other directors, Monty | ||
| Goddard, Angel Biasatti, Michelle Canton, Jenny Conrad, Mike | ||
| Leasor, Omar Pineda, Karen Tecklenburg, Katie Watson, Brendan | ||
| Kelly, Louis J. Stefanos, and Jim Milligan, and its ex officio | ||
| directors, Tom Blanton, Clayton Chandler, Dr. Jim Vaszauskas, | ||
| and Scott Welmaker; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This charming town is an outstanding place in | ||
| which to live, work, and raise a family, and its citizens may | ||
| indeed take great pride in their heritage and ongoing achievements; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize Mansfield Day at the State Capitol | ||
| and extend to members of the visiting delegation sincere best | ||
| wishes for an enjoyable and memorable event. | ||
| Burton, Birdwell | ||
