  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Tom Brymer, who is 
retiring from his dual leadership roles as the Town Manager of Westlake 
and Superintendent of Westlake Academy.
  Mr. Brymer has devoted more than four decades of his life to public 
service. Before coming to Westlake in 2008, he held leadership roles in 
Gilmer, Lockhart, Bryan, and College Station, Texas, as well as Olathe, 
Kansas.
  As Superintendent of Westlake Academy, Mr. Brymer has had the unique 
opportunity to lead Texas' only municipally-owned, open-enrollment 
charter school. Under his leadership, the school's enrollment has more 
than doubled, and it has added four additional building to its campus. 
Mr. Brymer, in coordination with Westlake Academy's faculty and staff, 
developed a renowned educational program that has earned accolades for 
its role in helping students thrive and prepare for the future.
  During his tenure as Town Manager, Mr. Brymer has overseen 
significant improvements to Westlake's infrastructure and economic 
development. For his efforts, Mr. Brymer been the recipient of multiple 
awards including the Texas Municipal League's 2009 Municipal Excellence 
Award, the TEDC 2012 Community Economic Development Award, the ICMA 
2012 Community Sustainability Program Excellence Award, and the Site 
Selectors Guild 2017 Excellence in Economic Development Award, among 
many others.
  On behalf of the 26th District, I thank Mr. Brymer for his service to 
the Westlake community and wish him every success in his future 
endeavors.
