         RETIREMENT OF ST. CLAIR SHORES CITY MANAGER MIKE SMITH

  (Mr. LEVIN of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate my 
constituent in St. Clair Shores, City Manager Mike Smith, on his 
upcoming retirement after nearly two decades of service to the 
community.
  Mike Smith has been a true hands-on leader. I ran into him at St. 
Clair Shores Memorial Day parade, which is one of the biggest in the 
country, where he was rushing around on a golf cart, as ever, 
personally managing this huge event.
  Mike has also been a leader on an issue extremely important to me and 
my fellow Michiganders: water quality. He has fought for improvements 
to the Chapaton Retention Basin, a project I have made it my mission to 
help fund in order to protect water quality in Lake St. Clair and the 
Great Lakes system.
  While I will miss Mike's partnership, I wish him the very best in his 
retirement, and I thank him for his tremendous service.
