                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 25, 2015

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Patrick Sullivan, Rio 
Grande County's Road and Bridge Supervisor and the 2014 recipient of 
the Colorado Association of Road Supervisors and Engineers Supervisor 
of the Year Award.
  In addition to his 35 years with Rio Grande County, the glowing 
letters of recommendation he received from his community speak to Mr. 
Sullivan's dedication. In addition to his duties as Road and Bridge 
Supervisor, he also serves as assistant fire chief for the Monte Vista 
Fire Department. He received recommendations from the Colorado State 
Patrol and the SLV Hazardous Substance Board, who both emphasized his 
unflagging devotion to Rio Grande County.
  According to his coworkers, Mr. Sullivan goes above and beyond, and 
performs his duties with a commitment to excellence and dedication to 
his team. Their recommendations and the nomination speak to the mutual 
commitment he and his team has to public safety and their community. 
For Mr. Sullivan, his duties are more than a job; they are a way to 
serve and strengthen his community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Patrick Sullivan. He is not 
only a hard working civil servant but a dedicated husband and father. 
His contributions have and will continue to make Rio Grande County a 
great place to live for those who call it home.
