  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication and contributions to the community of 
Corona and Riverside County at large are exceptional. Corona has been 
fortunate to have dynamic and dedicated community leaders who willingly 
and unselfishly give their time and talent and make their communities a 
better place to live and work. Greg Irvine is one of these individuals. 
On April 15, 2015, Greg will be honored for his dedicated service as he 
ends his tenure as the Assistant City Manager for the City of Corona.
  Greg's work with the City of Corona began in 1996 when he first 
served as the Assistant City Treasurer. Greg was then promoted to 
Interim City Treasurer and would later be promoted again to serve as 
Assistant General Manager for the Department of Water and Power. Greg 
was then moved to be the Assistant to the City Manager and in August of 
2004, he was appointed to Assistant City Manager. It was in this 
capacity that he oversaw public policy for the City of Corona which 
encompassed legislative advocacy and city communications as well as 
marketing efforts. Given his depth of experience through his service as 
Assistant and Interim City Treasurer, he also had the executive 
responsibility for the Finance Department. His knowledge was helpful 
for Corona in steering through the recession and has been commended by 
several City Council Members. Additionally, Greg's involvement in the 
community goes far beyond the doors of City Hall. He has been an active 
participant in numerous community service organizations throughout 
Corona.
  In light of all Greg Irvine has done for the community of Corona, I 
wish him the best as he embarks on his retirement. Greg's tireless 
passion for the community has contributed immensely to the betterment 
of Corona, California. I am proud to call Greg a fellow community 
member, American and friend. I know that many community members are 
grateful for his service and salute him as he ends his time as 
Assistant City Manager for the City of Corona.
