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
