  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the City of 
Wheat Ridge's COVID-19 Response Team in Wheat Ridge, Colorado for 
receiving the Wheat Ridge Business Association's 2021 Special 
Recognition City Award.
  The Special Recognition City Award is given to a person or 
organization in Wheat Ridge community who exemplifies outstanding 
service, leadership, and participation in the community. The COVID-19 
pandemic had a profound impact on our local community, the entire 
country, and the rest of the world. The City's COVID Response Team is 
comprised of city staff and community members, including Steve Art, 
Amber Garrett, Diamante Hornyack, Allison Lewis, Robin Lofton, Cindy 
Peterson, Allison Scheck, and Sara Spaulding. As the city dealt with an 
unprecedented pandemic and some of its darkest days, these men and 
women came to the aid of their community to help coordinate, develop 
and implement an effective and timely response to the various 
challenges and issues that have come up throughout the pandemic.
  I thank every member of the COVID-19 Response Team for their hard 
work, dedication and sacrifice during this trying time, and 
congratulations for receiving this award.
