[[Page E560]]

   Mr. Roscoe is retiring from the Sacramento Suburban Water District 
(SSWD) as General Manager after 15 years of service.
   As General Manager of the Sacramento Suburban Water District, Mr. 
Roscoe remained committed to ensuring government transparency and 
providing sustainable water resources to much of Sacramento County. 
Under his leadership, SSWD's credit ratings rose from an A- in 2003 to 
its current rating of AA+.
   In addition to being General Manager of SSWD, Mr. Roscoe has been a 
longtime advocate of water infrastructure and held several other 
leadership roles with both regional and statewide organizations during 
his 40 years in public service.
   He has been the recipient of numerous awards over his notable 
career, such as the Regional Water Authority's 2007 ``Statesperson of 
the Year'' and the 2017 ``Distinguished Service Award.''
   He also received Association of California Water Agencies' 2017 
Emissary Award for ``remarkable and visible contributions to the 
enhancement, protection or development of water resources in 
California.'' In March 2018, he was awarded the American Society of 
Civil Engineers Region 9 Lifetime Achievement Award.
   Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. 
Roscoe on 15 years of outstanding service to Sacramento County and wish 
him the best in his next stage of his life.
