A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA COMMENDING ARTHUR H. BROWN FOR HIS
YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY.
WHEREAS, San Francisco is noteworthy for three reasons: its
Golden Gate Bridge; the earthquake; as ARTHUR H. BROWN'S
birthplace. Since the bridge was a spectacular human
achievement, and the earthquake just as spectacular a
natural disaster, it is perhaps only fair that the third
event be placed in the middle, between the achievement
and the disaster. In this way all.judgments as to relative
status can begin from an impartial center, and
WHEREAS, since, at a tender age, he came to Southern California,
making Los Angeles his home, we must consider that to be
his home town, wherein he successfully completed all
aboriginal rites of passage to manhood in its dark, steamy
and tribal interior, and
WHEREAS, after various tentative attempts, he, realizing the
inexorable grip of destiny, ascended to accept employment
with the City of Azusa on September 1, 1957, and
WHEREAS, across the span of time, he has become widely known as a
living vade mecum of vegetation. If it.is green and grows
in the ground, ART knows all about -its care and feeding.
The lush beauty of all municipal flora is attributable to
ART in his capacity as Superintendent of Parks.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Azusa, thanks ARTHUR BROWN for the many years of service he has
provided the City and its residents, and further, commends him for
the outstanding manner marking all his activities on behalf of the
City, and finally, wishes him a long and satisfying retirement.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 19th day of July, 1982.
