  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mayor Oscar 
Trevino's career of serving the city and the people of North Richland 
Hills. Mayor Trevino was elected in June 2002 and re-elected ten times, 
making him the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. Before 
being Mayor, he served as a council member for three years.
  Mayor Trevino graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of 
Science in Civil Engineering. His business and construction experience 
spans more than 40 years and he is currently CEO and owner of O. 
Trevino Construction. In addition to promoting a positive city image, 
sense of community, and financial stability, Mayor Trevino has 
prioritized safety, security, and economic development for North 
Richland Hills. Mayor Trevino believes it is important to collaborate 
and work with other communities to improve regional problems.
  His leadership style is inclusive and consensus-based as shown by his 
service as President of the North Central Texas Council of Governments, 
Chair of the Regional Transportation Council, and a member of the 
Tarrant Regional Transportation Committee. He is also a member of the 
Coalition for Better Transportation and the Texas Transportation 
Institute, as well as serving as the NLC's Hispanic Elected Local 
Officials' President. He holds numerous other volunteer positions in 
the community highlighting his comprehensive approach.
  The Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce awarded Mayor Trevino the 
John V. McMillan Hall of Fame award in 2022 and honored him as Hispanic 
Businessman of the Year in 2015. The American Planning Association 
Midwest Texas Section presented him with the Planning Advocate Award in 
2021 and the North Central Texas Council of Governments presented him 
with the William J. Pitstick Regional Excellence Award in 2010.
  Mayor Oscar Trevino's awards and memberships not only reflect his 
outstanding work ethic but also his dedication to our community. It is 
my pleasure to honor Mayor Oscar Trevino on his career with North 
Richland Hills and celebrate his commitment to our community. I 
congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement.
