|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Texas Senate District 29 Environmental Advisory |

|
WHEREAS, The Texas Senate District 29 Environmental Advisory |
|
Committee is chaired by Karl Rimkus, the environmental compliance |
|
program manager for the City of El Paso's Environmental Services |
|
Department; and |
|
WHEREAS, Inspired by the work of Dr. Bill Hargrove and Josiah |
|
Heyman, researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso, the |
|
committee organized the symposium with the goal of encouraging |
|
students to pursue careers related to water management; the |

|
industry, academic, and public administration professionals; and |
|
WHEREAS, El Paso has been a national and international |

received widespread public support; and |

|
are top issues in the southwestern area of the United States, and |

Symposium receive special recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
