  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mary C. Blasi, who 
is being honored by the Wynmoor Democratic Club for her service to the 
community of Coconut Creek. Ms. Blasi has worked for the city of 
Coconut Creek for twenty years, becoming its first female City Manager 
in 2013.
  Ms. Blasi is a graduate of Notre Dame University, and has a 
distinguished record of outstanding service to her community. After 
starting as the city of Coconut Creek's Director of Finance and 
Administrative Services in 1996, she served as Assistant City Manager 
in 2002 and became Deputy City Manager in 2008.
  The Coconut Creek City Commission unanimously elected Ms. Blasi as 
City Manager in 2013. Since then, she has been responsible for the 
city's 110 million dollar budget, its 370 full time employees, and its 
continued day to day operations.
  Throughout her career in public service, Mary C. Blasi has shown 
herself to be an outstanding leader in her community. I am pleased to 
join the Wynmoor Democratic Club in honoring Ms. Blasi for her ongoing 
commitment to excellence and distinguished service to our community.
