  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 to make their communities a 
better place to live and work. Brad Robbins is one of these 
individuals. On April 15, 2015, Brad will be honored for his dedicated 
service as he ends his tenure as the City of Corona's City Manager.
  Brad has worked on behalf of the City of Corona since 1988 and has 
established himself as a highly regarded leader and active member of 
the community. Throughout his twenty-eight years of service with the 
City of Corona, Brad has held a variety of titles including the 
Department of Water and Power General Manager, Assistant City Manager-
Community Development Director, Director of Planning and Assistant City 
Manager. Due to his success in all of these roles, Brad was then 
appointed as City Manager in August of 2008. Acting as such, Brad 
enforced the city ordinances and carried out the policies of the 
Council through the control and direction of City Departments. During 
the past seven years, not only did Brad productively navigate the 
economic recession and the impact on the

City of Corona, but he also encouraged the community to continue to 
thrive and grow as a leader in Southern California. Numerous Corona 
City Council members have extensively commended Brad for accomplishing 
so much during his time as City Manager, most especially because he is 
such an exceptional person to work with.
  In light of all Brad Robbins has done for the community of Corona, I 
wish him the best as he embarks on his retirement. Brad's tireless 
passion for the community has contributed immensely to the betterment 
of Corona, California. I am proud to call Brad 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 City 
Manager for the City of Corona.
