WHEREAS, Roger Garza is concluding his tenure on the |
|
|
Pleasanton City Council in 2015, after nearly two decades of |
|
|
exemplary service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Even before joining the city council, Mr. Garza was |
|
|
an active member of his community and launched a successful |
|
|
campaign to redraw the district boundaries in Atascosa County; |
|
|
achieving this goal inspired him to become more involved in |
|
|
government, and he was subsequently elected to represent District 5 |
|
|
on the Pleasanton City Council; over the course of his 18 years in |
|
|
office, he has played a key role in a number of important |
|
|
initiatives, including cleanup efforts for the Atascosa River, the |
|
|
hiring of a firm to build a new fire station, and the planning, |
|
|
design, and approval of civic center construction; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of Atascosa County, Mr. Garza |
|
|
attended Jourdanton Elementary School and continued his education |
|
|
in the Pleasanton Independent School District; after graduating |
|
|
from high school, he went on to study photography, oil painting, and |
|
|
still-life portraiture at San Antonio College, and he later became |
|
|
part of Pleasanton High School's inaugural adult computer class; in |
|
|
October 1975, this dedicated entrepreneur opened his own business, |
|
|
Pleasanton Floral Photography and Tuxedos, which he still operates |
|
|
from its original location; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all of his endeavors, Mr. Garza enjoys the love |
|
|
and support of his wife, Ann, and he takes great pride in their five |
|
|
children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Roger Garza has proven himself a civic leader of |
|
|
great vision and ability, and he is indeed deserving of recognition |
|
|
for his tireless efforts to make the Pleasanton area an even better |
|
|
place to live and work; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|

Pleasanton City Council and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
