                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 19, 2009

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, Norco, California has been fortunate to 
have dynamic and dedicated community leaders who willingly and 
unselfishly give their time and talent and make their communities a 
better place to live and work. I rise today to recognize and honor one 
of those individuals: outgoing Norco City Council Member, and former 
Mayor, Frank Hall.
  Frank started his public service career in 1993 as a member of the 
Streets and Trails Commission in Norco, California. With that 
experience he was elected as a Norco City Councilmember in 1997. As 
member of the Norco City Council, Frank also served as Mayor in 2008, 
2004 and 2000. In 2000, Frank received the Norco Chamber of Commerce 
Man of the Year Award.
  Over his accomplished career, Frank served on a number of special 
committees which addressed a wide range of issues. He worked on 
transportation issues as a member of the Riverside County 
Transportation Commission, Riverside Transit Authority Board of 
Directors and the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Northwest Zone 
Committee. He promoted education and learning in the community as a 
member of the Riverside Community College, Norco Friends of the 
Library, Norco Historical Society and the Corona/Norco Family YMCA. He 
also was successful in rallying support for NSWC, Corona and joined a 
regional effort to keep the base from being realigned to Port Hueneme 
during the last round of Base Realignment and Closure.
  Frank Hall will leave the Norco City Council with many 
accomplishments; his legacy will serve as a shining example and 
constant reminder of what it means to be a public servant. I am proud 
to call Frank a fellow community member, American and friend. It has 
been an honor to work with him for the betterment of our community and 
I salute his service to the City of Norco.
