A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending Mr. Michael Brown on the occasion of his retirement as Savannah
City Manager; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Mr. Michael Brown has long been recognized by the citizens of this state for the
vital role that he has played in leadership and his deep personal commitment to
the welfare of the citizens of Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
he has diligently and conscientiously devoted innumerable hours of his time,
talents, and energy toward the betterment of his community and state as
evidenced dramatically by his superlative service as Savannah City Manager for
15 years; and
WHEREAS,
Mr. Brown's significant organizational and leadership talents, his remarkable
patience and diplomacy, his keen sense of vision, and his sensitivity to the
needs of the citizens of this state have earned him the respect and admiration
of his colleagues and associates; and
WHEREAS,
a native of Prince William County, Virginia, Mr. Brown earned his bachelor's
degree and a master's degree in public administration from the University of
Virginia; and
WHEREAS,
this dedicated leader has been instrumental in the City of Savannah's growth and
economic development during the last two decades, including the revitalization
of several Savannah monuments, the renovation of Forsyth Park, the establishment
of drainage projects in West Savannah, the introduction of curbside recycling,
and the building of River Walk and the World War II monument; and
WHEREAS,
he is a person of magnanimous strengths with an unimpeachable reputation for
integrity, intelligence, fairness, and kindness; and
WHEREAS,
Mr. Brown has served with honor and distinction with the City of Savannah, and
his vision and unyielding commitment will be sorely missed upon the occasion of
his retirement as he moves to Virginia with his wife, Linda Lee, to serve as a
county manager in Arlington; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of this
remarkable and distinguished Georgian be appropriately recognized.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend Mr. Michael Brown for his efficient, effective, unselfish, and
dedicated public service to the State of Georgia; congratulate him on his new
position as county manager; and extend to him their most sincere best wishes for
continued health and happiness.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Mr. Michael
Brown.
