                        Tuesday, October 3, 2023

  Mr. POSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mayor Hal Rose for his 
service to residents of West Melbourne, Florida. Mayor Rose has served 
the people of West Melbourne, Florida for over 23 years.
  When Mayor Rose entered office, he promised to encourage sustainable 
growth for the city of West Melbourne, while keeping the town an 
affordable place to live. Today, under Hal's leadership, West Melbourne 
is a thriving and prosperous city with very low property tax rates.
  In addition to his many years of public service, Hal served as 
President of the Space Coast League of Cities, Chairman of the West 
Melbourne Library Board, and as a Board Member of the Field of Dreams 
and Promise in Brevard. Mayor Rose also served as a City Council Member 
for West Melbourne since his election in 2000. Seven years after, he 
began his service as Mayor of West Melbourne.
  After many years of community involvement and leadership, Mayor Rose 
plans to retire alongside his wife Sue and spend time with their 
family.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Mayor Hal Rose on his retirement and saluting 
his passion, dedication, and commitment to the residents of West 
Melbourne. His decades of selfless service are inspiring to myself, and 
many others.
