                       Friday, September 27, 2019

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that 
I recognize the distinguished career of John R. Flint, City Manager of 
my hometown of Weston, Florida.
   Mr. Flint is one of Broward County's long-serving public servants. 
Appointed as the City of Weston's first City Manager in July 1997, Mr. 
Flint is the Chief Executive Officer of the nation's premier municipal 
corporation. Incorporated in 1996 by an overwhelming percentage of its 
voters, Weston quickly gained international attention for being one of 
the country's largest master-planned communities and for the 
progressive form of contractual municipal management which Mr. Flint 
has instituted. He currently oversees services to the City's 67,000 
residents, over an area of 27 square miles.
   Mr. Flint has served in local government management capacities in 
the cities of Hollywood and Cooper City where he was responsible for 
the design, construction and management of municipal infrastructure. He 
has received both gubernatorial and legislative appointments furthering 
his community service.
   John is a consummate professional whom I am proud to call my friend. 
I wish him well on his retirement and thank him for the thoughtful and 
committed work he has done to enrich and safeguard the residents of 
Weston.
