  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize J. 
Matthew Mullan who is retiring after 23 years of public service with 
the Town of Windsor, California.
  Mr. Mullan began his career in Windsor in 1989 as Assistant General 
Manager of the Windsor Water District. He was named Assistant Town 
Manager upon the town's incorporation in 1992.
  As Assistant Town Manager, he served as a supervisor of community 
development activities, including planning and building inspection, 
engineering, street maintenance, and water reclamation. Mr. Mullan was 
also responsible for the franchise of solid waste and cable television. 
As head of Windsor's 5-year Capital Improvement Program, he various 
managed special projects including the design and construction of the 
corporation yard.
  Mr. Mullan was appointed Town Manager in 2005. In this position, he 
oversaw development of the new LEED certified fire station, 
construction of the SMART train station, and preparation of the Town's 
Economic Development Strategic Plan. He also managed the connection of 
the Town's recycled water system to the Geysers Recharge Project, 
facilitating the transport of treated waste water from Sonoma County to 
the Geysers steamfields in the Mayacmas Mountains that straddle Lake 
and Sonoma Counties. All of these projects have been tremendously 
beneficial to the Town of Windsor.
  As Town Manager, Mr. Mullan serves as Chair of the Sonoma Mendocino 
Area City Managers/County Administrators Association and is a member of 
the International City Management Association.
  Mr. Mullan plans to spend his retirement with his wife Rosanne and 
their three children, and is looking forward to expanding his role as 
doting grandfather and avid San Francisco Giants fan.
  Mr. Speaker, Matt Mullan has a long and distinguished record of 
public service. It is therefore fitting and proper that we honor him 
today and wish him well in his retirement.
