                         Friday, June 10, 2016

  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Tim Caddell, a 
member of our local government who is retiring after 15 years of public 
relations work in Pinellas Park.
  Mr. Caddell joined the Pinellas Park staff in 2001. He initially 
served as Public Events Director, planning events such as the Harvest 
Moon Festival and Country in the Park. Towards the end of his first 
year, he took on the role of Public Information Officer cultivating and 
maintaining vital relationships with the local media outlets. 
Additionally, he led an important effort in Tallahassee lobbying on 
behalf of Pinellas Park when the city was in need of funds for drainage 
improvements at Park Boulevard.
  Finally, in 2008, he was promoted to Government Relations 
Administrator where he thrived. In this role, Mr. Caddell was 
responsible for establishing the Pinellas Park Performing Arts Center 
after the city had purchased the space. He recalls this event as one of 
the brightest moments in his career.
  In addition to his official role, Mr. Caddell demonstrated his 
commitment to Pinellas County through his service in various charitable 
organizations. He served as executive director for the group ``Girls 
Inc.'' which focuses on programs for girls that enrich their studies in 
a variety of academic and professional fields. He also served the St. 
Petersburg Police Department as a Private Investigator and was an 
assistant to the publisher for Pinellas Park News.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize and thank Tim Caddell for his 
dedication to Pinellas County throughout his career. He will be truly 
missed for his innovative ideas and strong work ethic. I ask that this 
body join me in thanking Mr. Caddell for the work he did for our 
community and in wishing him all the best in his next chapter of his 
life.
