| WHEREAS, Texans today have a renewed belief that the | ||
| government closest to the people is the best government; and | ||
| WHEREAS, No other level of government is more accountable | ||
| and responsive on a daily basis to the populace than the | ||
| municipal government of Texas cities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas cities provide critical services such as | ||
| police and fire protection and the collection and disposal of | ||
| garbage, ensuring that citizens have safe cities in which to live | ||
| and work; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By attracting businesses and providing the | ||
| necessary infrastructure for those businesses to be successful, | ||
| Texas cities are an important engine of economic development in | ||
| the state; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas cities are constantly striving to keep | ||
| driving conditions safe and work tirelessly to maintain city | ||
| streets, street lights, and sidewalks; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas cities provide safe, clean, and reliable | ||
| drinking water; they make investments in drinking water and | ||
| wastewater infrastructure to protect public health, and they | ||
| ensure that there is an adequate water supply to support the | ||
| state's growing population, businesses, and industries; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas cities also provide parks and libraries | ||
| that improve the quality of life for individuals and the overall | ||
| community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The services that cities are called on to provide | ||
| by the citizens of Texas reflect the will of local taxpayers and | ||
| allow people to live and work in close proximity; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Those who are elected and serve at the local level | ||
| do so largely on a voluntary basis and are best suited to | ||
| determine what their individual communities look like; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize this day as Municipal Government | ||
| Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegations | ||
| best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin; and, | ||

| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special day. | ||
