            VICTORVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JIM COX RETIRES

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. PAUL COOK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 2, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
retirement of Jim Cox from the Victorville City Council.
  Jim was first named Victorville City Manager in 1969, and held that 
position until 2000. He returned after a brief departure to serve as 
City Manager again from 2009 to 2012. During his time as City Manager, 
he won a number of accolades and was appointed to several regional 
boards and commissions, highlighting the expertise he displayed as he 
worked on behalf of Victorville residents. In 2012, Jim was elected to 
the Victorville City Council, where he served two terms.
  Jim's time on the council has been marked by successes in 
Victorville, including the La Mesa/Nisqualli Bridge and interchange 
project. He has governed with decency and decorum, and has always place 
an emphasis on community service. His work with Rotary International, 
as well as his ex-officio membership of the Victor Valley Chamber of 
Commerce Board of Directors, has impacted his community just as deeply 
as his government service. I offer my sincere congratulations to Jim on 
a well deserved retirement, and wish him the best as he moves to the 
next chapter of his life.
