                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. DAVID A. TROTT

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2017

  Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in recognition of the lifetime 
of dedication and service of Clarence E. Goodlein of Wixom, Michigan.
  Serving his community well for 37 years, as Police Chief for five 
years and Police Chief and Director of Public Safety for ten, Mr. 
Goodlein dedicated his life to ensuring the City of Wixom continued to 
be a safe and desirable neighborhood for those of all ages.
  Mr. Goodlein built his career on a foundation of protecting others 
and his unwavering dedication to this principle and his community 
earned him the appointment of Wixom City Manager in 2015. Here he 
brought a unique combination of vibrant leadership and years of proven 
experience to inspire new direction to the city's government.
  As a proud graduate of Madonna University, the University of Detroit-
Mercy, Oakland University, and the FBI National Academy and Executive 
Leadership Programs, his wealth of knowledge built a sound future of 
success for our entire community.
  His outstanding leadership has not gone unnoticed. It helped model 
the Lower Peninsula Law Enforcement Risk Control Advisory Committee, 
which aids local law enforcement agencies throughout the State of 
Michigan.
  While his retirement from City Manager will leave a great void in 
City Hall, I have no doubt that Mr. Goodlein will continue to be a 
vibrant part of our community, continuing to serve each and every one 
of his neighbors for years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to Mr. 
Goodlein for his decades of service to our community, the City of 
Wixom, and the great State of Michigan, and wish him well in his 
retirement.
