  she became the first woman to serve as Southlake's mayor after her
  election in 2015, and she was reelected in 2018; and
         WHEREAS, Throughout her service in public office, she has
  been noted for her focus on issues affecting young people, and she

  created the Mayor's Alliance for Unity and Culture to address issues
  of race and discrimination; and

  government more transparent and more responsive to the
  community, and she has actively participated in such community

  roundtable discussions; she has been a dedicated supporter of the
  city's first responders, and under her leadership, the police and
  fire departments have achieved the highest levels of
  accreditation; and
         WHEREAS, Mayor Hill has been active in a number of
  professional and civic organizations, including the Southlake
  Chamber of Commerce, the Metroport Cities Partnership, and the
