  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing Mr. Robert ``Bob'' Taylor for his decades of dedicated 
public service to our community. This year, Bob will retire after 
serving as Mayor of the City of Brentwood for the last fourteen years--
longer than any other Mayor in Brentwood's history.
  Bob Taylor was first elected to the Brentwood City Council in 2004 
and served as a Councilmember for two years until he was elected Mayor 
in 2006. As Mayor, Bob has shown his unwavering commitment to our 
community and is well known for his vibrant personality and dedication 
to the success of the City of Brentwood and its residents. Bob has also 
been instrumental in ensuring the safety of the community-at-large 
through his service on transportation committees such as the Highway 4 
Bypass Authority. In addition to this and other committees, he serves 
on numerous boards and commissions, making sure to never miss an 
opportunity that could improve the quality of life for his 
constituents.
  Prior to becoming Mayor, Bob served twelve years on the Liberty Union 
High School District Board of Trustees. He has been a businessman and a 
farmer, and was Past President of Harvest Time Brentwood, a local non-
profit farming organization. He is an active community member, 
participating in Brentwood Chamber of Commerce events, among many other 
community activities. Bob has made invaluable contributions to our 
community, and his leadership has made a positive impact on countless 
individuals and families.
  Bob is also a veteran who has served our great nation as a member of 
the United States Navy during the Vietnam era. He currently acts as the 
Brentwood City Council's liaison to various veterans' groups, 
demonstrating his steadfast commitment to his fellow servicemembers and 
our nation's veterans. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and 
recognizing Robert ``Bob'' Taylor. His distinguished public service is 
unparalleled and is as an example to us all.
