                        Thursday, July 26, 2018

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
Bill Lindsay, Richmond's City Manager for 32 years, a respected member 
of the community, a member of our district, and a friend.
  Bill received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Yale University 
and a Masters in Business Administration in General Management from the 
University of California, Berkeley. Following graduate school, he began 
his professional career as a management consultant working primarily 
with local government and public transit clients.

  Prior to his service to Richmond, Bill was San Ramon's Administrative 
Services Director before becoming the City Manager of Orinda for over a 
decade.
  His hard work and achievements as a public servant aided in the 
reduction in violent crimes, the lowest unemployment rate in Richmond's 
history, and allowed the city to flourish financially. Bill's 
dedication to his job, his family, and his community is admirable. The 
contributions he has made to the city of Richmond and his community 
will not be forgotten. I wish him the best of luck in his retirement.
