elected Cotati Chamber of Commerce President in 1999 and awarded Cotati 
citizen of the year in 2005.

subsequently re-elected in 2014 and 2018. During this time. he served

Chair of the Cotati Rent Appeals Board, Liaison for the Cotati Chamber 
of Commerce, a member of the Cotati Library Advisory Board and a board 
member of the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund as well as the 
California Intergovernmental Risk Authority.
  Despite unprecedented challenges including wildfires, financial 
instability and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Moore has remained steadfast 
in his commitment to Cotati. He has routinely fought for improved 
public infrastructure and a balanced budget. As a delegate for the 
North Bay Labor Council and the District Bargaining Unit Representative 
for the Service Employees International Union Local 1000, Mr. Moore has 
also been a champion for workers' rights.
  Outside of public service, Mr. Moore is an executive with the Rohnert 
Park branch of the State Compensation Insurance Fund.

and brother of ten.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Councilmember Moore for his years of selfless 
service and commitment to his community. Therefore, it is fitting and 
proper that we honor him here today.
