WHEREAS, Captain Johnny Mynar retired from the McLennan |
|
|
County Sheriff's Office after 34 years of service on November 30, |
|
|
2008, drawing to a close an exemplary career in law enforcement; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Captain Mynar's notable tenure encompassed several |
|
|
different assignments with the sheriff's office; beginning as a |
|
|
jailer, he was soon promoted to the position of bailiff for the 54th |
|
|
District Court and worked for Judges Carl C. Anderson and Walter |
|
|
Smith; in 1982, he became the day shift supervisor, and while in |
|
|
that position, he earned the rank of sergeant when the sheriff's |
|
|
office instituted a rank structure for its uniformed personnel; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Promoted to lieutenant in 1989, he took on the |
|
|
responsibilities of being assistant jail administrator, and his |
|
|
outstanding performance in that capacity led to his appointment as |
|
|
jail administrator and his promotion to the rank of captain in 1998; |
|
|
these administrative positions enabled Captain Mynar to play an |
|
|
instrumental role in developing the McLennan County Jail Division |
|
|
and helping it to effectively adapt to the challenges presented by a |
|
|
growing county and an increasing inmate population; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This respected officer was a member of the American |
|
|
Jail Association, the Texas Jail Association, the Commission on |
|
|
Jail Standards, and the Texas Association of Counties, and his |
|
|
affiliation with those organizations allowed him to learn from and |
|
|
share valuable information with colleagues throughout Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An assured leader in a range of endeavors, Captain |
|
|
Mynar was a member of the school board for the West Independent |
|
|
School District for six years and is a former president and longtime |
|
|
member of the West Kiwanis; he currently serves as president of the |
|
|
Cottonwood Water Board and holds a seat on the board of the West |
|
|
Fair and Rodeo; he and his wife, Cheryl, reside in West, and Mr. |
|
|
Mynar is looking forward to spending more time on their farm during |
|
|
his retirement years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For more than three decades, Johnny Mynar |
|
|
distinguished himself in his efforts to serve and protect the |
|
|
citizens of McLennan County, and he may indeed reflect with pride on |
|
|
his outstanding record of achievement during his years in uniform; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Johnny Mynar on his retirement from |
|
|
the McLennan County Sheriff's Office and extend to him sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Captain Mynar as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
