                      Wednesday, February 27, 2013

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor Ms. 
Heidi McNally-Dial, Economic Development/Redevelopment Manager for the 
City of Turlock, who has retired after many years of outstanding 
service.
  Heidi started with the City of Turlock in December of 2006. As part 
of a Council-approved reorganization to make economic development and 
redevelopment more visible and active in the community, she had 
numerous responsibilities. Those responsibilities included 
implementation of the Westside Industrial Specific Plan (WISP), 
management of the redevelopment agency, implementation and management 
of the Turlock Enterprise Zone in cooperation with the Alliance, and 
acting as the business liaison to assist with expansions, attraction, 
and retention. In addition, she was asked to represent Turlock on a 
variety of city and county-wide boards and organizations related to 
economic development.
  Mrs. McNally-Dial has almost 30 years of experience working in local, 
regional, and state governmental agencies--primarily in the fields of 
planning, redevelopment, and economic development. Heidi previously 
worked for Stanislaus County, the City of Modesto, the City of Ceres, 
and Cal Trans.
  Her family moved to Turlock in 1973, when her father chose Castle Air 
Force Base as his last duty station before retirement. Heidi stayed 
local and received a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 
1980 and a Master's of Public Administration in 1983 from California 
State University, Stanislaus (CSUS).
  Heidi has been married for 33 years to Gary Dial, a retired CPA. 
Together, they have a 25-year-old son, and they enjoy traveling, 
reading, cooking and brewing beer. Heidi and Gary are also Giants 
season-ticket holders and sports fans.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring and commending Mrs. Heidi 
McNally-Dial for her numerous years of selfless service to the 
betterment of our community.
