                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. PAUL COOK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 27, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career and 
service of Big Bear Lake City Manager Jeff Mathieu, who will retire 
from his position on January 27, 2020.
  Before coming to Big Bear Lake, Jeff Mathieu served the cities of 
Santa Monica and Long Beach for a combined 31 years. He came to Big 
Bear Lake in 2006, where he immediately hit the ground running. He has 
been responsible for numerous capital improvement projects, including 
major street improvements, the construction of new trails, the upgrade 
of city parks, and the creation of the iconic Boulder Bay Park. 
Additionally, Mathieu spearheaded the Village Renaissance Project which 
transformed the Village ``L'' into one of the most popular attractions 
in Big Bear Lake.
  Jeff Mathieu has been an outstanding city manager, and I am grateful 
to have had the pleasure of working with him during my entire career in 
Congress and the California State Assembly. He truly embodies the term 
public servant, and his leadership, experience, and dedication to 
improving Big Bear Lake will be sorely missed.
