R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, A notable career in public service is drawing to a
  close on January 30, 2009, with the retirement of Judy Womack as the
  Mesquite city secretary; and
         WHEREAS, Ms. Womack began her tenure with the City of
  Mesquite in 1984 as a secretary in the city's engineering division,
  where her ability and dedication were quickly recognized; she
  earned a promotion to administrative secretary five years later and
  became assistant city secretary in 1996; and
         WHEREAS, Effective February 1, 2003, Ms. Womack undertook the
  position of city secretary and has served admirably in that
  capacity for six years; skilled in administrative duties, she ably
  coordinated numerous city events such as elections, banquets, and
  Student Government Day; she also succeeded in increasing public
  access to municipal information by posting relevant documents on
  the city's website, and she worked jointly with the city council's
  information technology department to streamline city operations by
  making agenda packets available electronically to members and
  staff; and
         WHEREAS, This diligent Texan has supported her community in
  other ways as well, serving as co-chair of the United Way committee,
  volunteering consistently to help with Christmas in the Park, and
  assisting in the city's relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina;
  her remarkable record of service prompted Mayor John Monaco to
  proclaim January 20, 2009, as Judy Womack Day in the city of
  Mesquite; and
         WHEREAS, In all of her endeavors, Ms. Womack has enjoyed the
  love and support of her husband, Bobby, and their two children, Matt
  and Hillary; following her retirement, she looks forward to
  traveling and spending more time with her family; and
         WHEREAS, Judy Womack has earned the respect and admiration of
  council members and her other colleagues over the course of a
  quarter-century of service to the citizens of Mesquite, and she may
  indeed reflect with pride on a career well spent as she embarks on
  the next exciting chapter of her life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Judy Womack on the occasion of her
  retirement as Mesquite city secretary and extend to her sincere
  best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Womack as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
