CONGRATULATING DALE FISSELER, THE NEW CITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF FORT 
                              WORTH, TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 7, 2008

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dale 
Fisseler on obtaining the position of City Manager for the City of Fort 
Worth. Mr. Fisseler was recently promoted from his previous position 
with the City of Fort Worth as Assistant City Manager and will now be 
taking over the reins as City Manager of the fifth largest city in 
Texas.
  Mr. Fisseler has been working for the City of Fort Worth since 1990, 
where he started as a Water Superintendent. In 1999, he was named 
Director of the City of Fort Worth's Water Department, which provides 
water to almost 1 million people throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant 
County.
  Many local officials agree that Mr. Fisseler is most deserving of 
this position. Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief supported this notion by 
stating that ``obviously Mr. Fisseler is familiar with our city's 
history, challenges and opportunities. We are very pleased that the 
best person for the job was already a member of our Fort Worth 
family.''
  It with great honor that I congratulate Dale Fisseler on this 
deserving opportunity and wish him the best in his future endeavors. 
The North Texas region is truly fortunate to have the type of dedicated 
public servant that Dale Fisseler personifies, and I wish him every 
success during his tenure as the City Manager of Fort Worth.
