                        Monday, December 4, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Commerce City Councilman Jason McEldowney for his years of service to 
the City of Commerce City, Colorado. Since 2007 Councilman McEldowney 
has been active within the City, serving on the Council and also 
numerous boards and commissions.
  Councilman McEldowney has been a tireless advocate for Commerce City 
during his tenure as a Councilman. He has served on the Water 
Commission, Education Commission and the SD27J Facilities Foundation 
among many others. Additionally, he along with members of the Commerce 
City Council identified more than $1 billion in capital improvements 
ranging from parks to roads that would be necessary over the next 25 
years to meet the needs of a growing community. The work that 
Councilman McEldowney and other members of the Council put into this 
project was tremendous. The adoption of a five-year plan, which is a 
sustainable way to implement needed investments and provide budget 
certainty and predictability was thoughtful and will help improve the 
City of Commerce City for years to come. I admire the dedication and 
tireless efforts that Councilman McEldowney has put into his City 
during his tenure as a Councilman.
  I extend my deepest thanks to Jason McEldowney for his service to the 
community. Thank you for your continuous dedication to serving the 
constituents of Commerce City, Colorado.
