                       Monday, September 9, 2002

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, on September 26, 2002, the Union City Police 
Department will celebrate the retirement of one of its finest officers, 
Management Analyst II Lynne Mattos.
  In her 22-year career, Lynne has served the Union City Police 
Department in many capacities, working as a Crime Prevention 
Specialist, Community Relations Manager, and Management Analyst II.
  Lynne Shelton was instrumental in developing Union City's 
Neighborhood and Business Watch Programs, the Police Department's False 
Alarm Program, and Crime Prevention's National Night Out. Lynne was 
involved in organizing almost all of the special events sponsored 
through city/police department collaborations, including the Gladiola 
Festivals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the prestigious awarding 
of ``All-America City'' in 1999, and ``WinterFest,'' an annual event to 
raise funding for many of the city's community-based service groups.
  The recipient of countless accolades and letters of appreciation from 
citizens, businesses, Boy Scout troops, Lions Clubs, homeowners 
associations, and the school district, Lynne Mattos has made a lasting 
impression on the entire community. Lynne is also active on the city's 
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and has been a member of the 
city's Planning Commission since February 1990.
  I am honored to join the colleagues of Lynne Mattos in commending her 
for her many years of dedicated service. Her commitment to excellence 
has left its irreplaceable mark on the entire Union City community.
