SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 3
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize John Hrncir, who is retiring after three decades of
exceptional service with the City of Austin; and
WHEREAS, John Hrncir entered into service with the city in
1985, after having worked with the Lower Colorado River Authority;
he became the city's government relations officer in 1992; and
WHEREAS, During his tenure as government relations
officer, he has played a vital role in working with members of the
Texas Legislature to ensure that Austin's interests receive a
fair hearing; since 1992, more than 90 percent of the outcomes on

admired by his colleagues, and his presence with the City of
Austin will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend John Hrncir on his exceptional
service to the people of Austin as the city's government
relations officer and extend to him best wishes for continued
success in all his endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
