  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
June Catalano as she retires from the City of Pleasant Hill.
  Throughout her career, most recently as City Manager in the City of 
Pleasant Hill, California, June has been dedicated to her community and 
to improving the lives of Bay Area residents. Prior to her work with 
the City of Pleasant Hill, June served as City Manager of Martinez from 
2001 to 2006. Additionally, she served as Assistant City Manager for 
the City of Milpitas from 1998 to 2001. She also was the Director of 
Development Services with the City of San Leandro, Director of Planning 
and Building for the City of Santa Ana, and Community Development 
Director for the City of Laguna Beach.
  June's leadership has been instrumental to the expansion and growth 
of Pleasant Hill. During her tenure with the City, June worked to 
foster a vibrant community within Pleasant Hill and to provide public 
spaces for community members to gather and enjoy. She played a key role 
in the redevelopment of the Crossroads Shopping Center and the newly 
renovated Pleasant Hill Library. June also led efforts to coordinate 
the Concerts by the Lake, Community Service Day, National Night Out, 
and more. Additionally, June guided the City through the Great 
Recession and through the COVID-19 pandemic where her leadership and 
dedication were critical in prioritizing community safety and health. 
June has worked tirelessly throughout her career to bring community 
members together and to improve quality of life for all residents of 
Pleasant Hill.
  Please join me in congratulating June Catalano on her well-deserved 
retirement after 17 years of outstanding public service to our 
community.
