                         RECOGNIZING KATHY LUND

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TOM McCLINTOCK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 15, 2010

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service 
of Kathy Lund of Rocklin, California.
  Since her first election to the city council in 1985, Kathy has 
provided invaluable contributions to the city. She worked to develop a 
strong fiscal position for the city: formulating a General Plan for 
Rocklin and assuring that it was followed while also establishing and 
protecting an emergency fund and setting aside funds to meet the city's 
future retirement and health-benefit obligations. Kathy also provided 
much-needed support for numerous school and education initiatives, 
including Safe Routes to School improvements throughout Rocklin, the 
development of joint facilities for the Rocklin Unified School District 
and the construction of the Sierra College interchange. Her passion for 
serving her community was further displayed through her work to ensure 
the safety and well-being of its people. She was instrumental in the 
creation of the Anti-Gang Task Force, for the development of a city-
wide park system, the creation of the six-city Placer County 
Transportation Agency and for working to guarantee the continuation of 
essential ambulatory service for Rocklin residents.
  Madam Speaker, I can offer no better commendation to Kathy than that 
which the people of Rocklin have already conferred upon her by 
continuously reelecting her over the last 25 years to serve on the city 
council and to six terms as mayor. At a time when cities across our 
country find themselves struggling financially and desperate to find 
capable and honorable officials, Kathy Lund has been a sterling example 
of all that ought to be meant by the designation ``public servant.'' I 
am proud today to congratulate Kathy on her numerous accomplishments 
and to thank her for a quarter century of commitment, dedication and 
service to the people of Rocklin.
