WHEREAS, After 33 years of distinguished service with the |
|
|
City of Gatesville, Luis Lobo retired from his position as |
|
|
assistant city manager in December 2014, and the conclusion of his |
|
|
outstanding career provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on the |

contributions of this esteemed professional; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Lobo graduated from Laredo Martin High School in |
|
|
1971 and went on to attend Sul Ross State University; he worked as |

an intern for the City of Alpine before returning to Sul Ross to |
|
|
pursue a master's degree in public administration; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hired by the City of Gatesville as a grant writer in |
|
|
1981 and subsequently promoted to assistant city manager, Mr. Lobo |
|
|
helped to secure funds for a number of municipal projects, many of |
|
|
them relating to water and wastewater; the development of the |
|
|
city's water infrastructure, in which he played such a vital role, |
|
|
has been crucial to the growth that Gatesville has experienced over |
|
|
the past several decades; Mr. Lobo was also instrumental in |
|
|
bringing to fruition a range of other projects, as well as in |
|
|
balancing the city budget; during his time with the City of |

|
|
members, and hundreds of city employees, and he also served as |
|
|
interim city manager on two separate occasions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In retirement, Mr. Lobo looks forward to spending |
|
|
more time with his wife, Dolores, and hopes to write a book about |
|
|
the city, in addition to doing some teaching; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Luis Lobo's dedication to his work and his |
|
|
commitment to excellence have greatly benefited the citizens of |
|
|
Gatesville, and he may reflect with pride on his many achievements |
|
|
as he embarks on the next exciting chapter of his life; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|

wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
