| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Dr. Tarron J. Richardson for his outstanding service | ||
| as DeSoto city manager; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dr. Richardson began his distinguished career in | ||
| DeSoto in 2009 as assistant city manager, after holding a number | ||
| of city leadership positions in Richmond, Virginia, and | ||
| Coatesville, Pennsylvania; he was named DeSoto city manager and | ||
| chief executive officer in 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Under his leadership, the City of DeSoto's | ||
| financial health and stability significantly improved, and during | ||

| constant tax rate for four consecutive years; the city also | ||
| received two bond-rating upgrades and achieved unprecedented | ||
| growth in its fund reserves and revenue sources; and | ||

| instrumental in implementing a 1.75 percent tax reduction and in | ||
| increasing the city's contribution rate to city employees' | ||

| multiple city departments receive national and state | ||

| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Dr. Tarron J. Richardson on his many | ||
| contributions to the City of DeSoto and extend to him best wishes | ||
| for continued success in all his endeavors; and, be it further | ||
