  TRIBUTE TO JON LYNCH THE OUTGOING MIDLAND CITY MANAGER AND INCOMING 
                 PRESIDENT OF THREE RIVERS CORPORATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JOHN R. MOOLENAAR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 27, 2017

  Mr. MOOLENAAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Jon Lynch, 
the Midland City Manager, for his sixteen-plus years of service to the 
city of Midland as he takes on a new role as President of the Three 
Rivers Corporation.
  Beginning his work with the city in 2000, it was not long before Mr. 
Lynch rose up the ranks becoming the city's chief executive six years 
later. His work in Midland is most notable with the creation of the 
Citizen's Academy, which established a medium for residents to learn 
more about their government. Mr. Lynch also was at the helm during a 
tumultuous state level tax appeal process where Midland was able to 
continue city services facing a cut in their general fund. Mr. Lynch's 
ability to preserve Midland's service abilities with challenging 
budgets and nominal millage increases year after year is a true 
demonstration of his capability and talent.
  Mr. Lynch's administrative knowledge and strong skill set, as well as 
his long and successful history, proves his ability. His work in the 
community, creating and facilitating an open dialogue will only 
continue with the Three Rivers Corporation.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan, I am 
honored today to recognize Jon Lynch for his illustrious career and 
involvement in the Midland community that has positively influenced the 
careers and lives of countless individuals.
