                         TRIBUTE TO DON SANDOR

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Don Sandor 
ahead of his retirement as City Administrator of Pleasant Hill, Iowa, 
on June 30th, 2017.
  Don has spent 35 years in city administration. After administration 
jobs in Oskaloosa and other cities in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Iowa, 
Don came to Pleasant Hill in 2007. Even though he arrived at the start 
of a recession and in the midst of some controversy with previous 
projects, Don's stability and guidance helped him to eventually bring 
in more development and projects to grow the community. During his time 
as city administrator, the population of Pleasant Hill has grown by 20 
percent, and the taxable valuation of properties has increased by 93 
percent. Throughout the almost 10 years he has dedicated to his job, 
Don helped to ensure that Pleasant Hill is one of the places people 
look to for doing business, living, and raising their families.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Don on his retirement and his exemplary 
work as City Administrator. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating him on a 
successful career and in wishing him nothing but the best in his 
retirement.
