  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Bob Weisman's 30 
years of service to Palm Beach County. Currently the County 
Administrator, Bob has devoted his professional life to public service 
and bettering the south Florida community.
  Shortly after graduating college, Bob began his career civil engineer 
for Palm Beach County quickly rising through the ranks and became the 
Director of Development Engineering under the Water Utilities 
Department in 1981. In 1985, Bob was once again promoted to become the 
Assistant Director of the Water Utilities Department and, after only 6 
months, became the Director. In 1988, Bob joined the county 
administration and was named the Assistant County Administrator, 
eventually becoming the Senior Assistant County Administrator. In 1995, 
Bob became the Palm Beach County Administrator.
  As the County Administrator, Bob has been charged with the 
implementation of a $4 billion budget and oversight of over 6,000 
county employees. Together with the over 30 county administration 
departments, Bob is entrusted with providing quality services, 
programs, and information to the over 1 million residents of Palm Beach 
County.
  Under Bob's guidance, Palm Beach County has enjoyed supervisory and 
fiscal stability making Palm Beach County one of the fastest growing 
counties in the Nation.
  I would like to congratulate Bob for his 30 years of service to the 
Florida community. I am honored to have his friendship and can truly 
say that Palm Beach County is better place because of the hard work and 
dedication of Bob Weisman.
