                    HONORING THE LIFE OF CARL BOYER

  (Ms. HILL of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HILL of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Carl Boyer.
  The lives of every single person in my hometown of Santa Clarita, 
California, are better thanks to the work and tireless efforts of one 
of our city's founding fathers, Mr. Carl Boyer.
  After moving to what is now California's 25th District in the late 
1960s, Carl worked to establish the city of Santa Clarita in an effort 
to help our community receive the resources it needed. His leadership 
continued from there as he served on the first-ever Santa Clarita City 
Council and, eventually, two terms as mayor.
  Carl put his city--our city--at the center of every decision he made. 
From his first day on the council to his last day as mayor, he worked 
to protect our beautiful open space, and he left office having created 
one of the best park departments in the United States.
  While serving Santa Clarita, he was also a public school teacher and 
a foster parent to young children who came to the United States for 
lifesaving medical treatment.
  Carl Boyer had a heart of gold, and will be missed by all. On behalf 
of the vibrant and wonderful community that he helped create, I extend 
my deepest gratitude for the legacy of service, engagement, and 
kindness that he leaves behind.
