                         Tuesday, March 2, 2021

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Adam 
Politzer upon his retirement from a distinguished 20 year career in 
service to the City of Sausalito.
  Adam was born and raised in Sausalito, and he graduated from 
Tamalpais High School. His career in local government began in 1987 as 
a recreation manager in Palo Alto. He later joined the City of 
Sausalito in 2000 as a parks and recreation director and quickly moved 
up the ranks to become the City's chief administrator. Upon his 
retirement Adam was the longest serving City Manager for Sausalito.
  During his tenure with the City Adam produced substantial 
improvements to the quality of life for the City's residents and 
visitors. Among his numerous achievements, Adam successfully led 
efforts to revitalize Robin Sweeney Park, Dunphy Park, Martin Luther 
King Jr. Park, and Southview Park; oversaw the consolidation of the 
Sausalito Fire Department with the Southern Marin Fire District; and 
managed development projects for new public safety buildings. Adam was 
also valued by the city council and staff for his skilled stewardship 
of taxpayer dollars and helping the City maintain financial stability 
throughout economic challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Over the years Adam became a strong mentor for the next generation of 
municipal leaders, launching the Southern Marin Management Academy to 
help train aspiring public servants. Adam is well-known by Sausalito 
and Marin County residents, business owners, and colleagues for his 
thoughtful leadership and willingness to thoroughly explore and pursue 
the best solutions to complex problems.
  Adam's commitment to the community of Sausalito has been, and will 
continue to be, productive and enduring. Madam Speaker, I respectfully 
ask that you join me in expressing gratitude to Adam for his extensive 
public service and extending to him congratulations on his retirement 
and best wishes on his next endeavors.
