  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mr. Greg Hall for his 
life-long contributions to the city of El Monte. Mr. Hall has been an 
active and loyal employee for the city of El Monte. He has worked as a 
Park Caretaker for 6\1/2\ years, Water Systems Operator for 2 years, 
Senior Water Systems Operator for 1\1/2\ years, Maintenance Supervisor 
for 7 years, and held his current position as Public Works Maintenance 
Superintendent for 16 years.
  Exemplifying the best in humanitarian leadership, Mr. Hall was 
awarded Volunteer of the Year for all greater Los Angeles for his 
contributions to build the Saint Harriet's Children's Home. He was also 
awarded Kiwanian of the Year in 1984, 1990, and 1992. He was also 
president of the Kiwanis Club from 1989-1990, secretary from 1992-1993 
and lieutenant governor in 2002. Mr. Hall has also served in the U.S. 
Navy for 3 years and is a Vietnam veteran.
  Mr. Hall has served on many committees over the years, such as 
Maintenance Superintendents Association for 16 years, Traffic Control 
Supervisors Association for 22 years, and the American Water Works 
Association for 26 years.
  Mr. Hall's involvement with the Hazmat Drop-Off/Intake building for 
El Monte residents, the modernization of the Public Works Maintenance 
Division offices as well as the Water Department, are just some of his 
many accomplishments. Mr. Hall leaves behind a leadership model of 
teamwork. His leadership style has improved the reputation of the 
Maintenance Division and brought all the members of the Maintenance 
Yard closer together.
  Please join me in wishing Mr. Greg Hall, maintenance superintendent, 
Public Works Maintenance Division good luck and a happy retirement.
