RESOLUTION NO. 7134
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA COMMENDING JENS J. SOLEM FOR HIS
SERVICES TO THE CITY.
WHEREAS, how can adequate thanks and gratitude be
extended to a person who has given over a quarter of a century of
dedicated service to the City and residents of Azusa? and
WHEREAS, JENS J. SOLEM has done this since July 2, 1954,
when he was appointed to the Planning Commission; he served on that
body until April 12, 1966 when he was elected to the City Council,
on which he served both as Councilman and as an appointed Mayor,
until March 2, 1976, when he was directly elected to serve as
Mayor, which office he held to April 20, 1982, and
WHEREAS, when the heat of political fires has cooled,
what remains in lasting tribute, are the many accomplishments
wrought by him, always with the end being to better the condition
of the residents and to improve the functioning of City Government,
and
WHEREAS, mortality makes all men brothers, some, however,
are more acutely aware of that fact than others, and by so striving
to help their fellow man, make of their own lives a truly enriched
time on this earth; even though, at times it can appear to be an
endless, thankless task. An appropriate comparison can be made
to those vacuous, self-centered persons who live out a barren
existence hearing, seeing and understanding only themselves;
these live and die unloved and unmourned.
NOW, THEREFORE., BE IT RESOLVED; that the City Council
of the City of Azusa commends JENS J. SOLEM, for providing the
City and its residents so many years of dedicated service and
further wishes him a full and bountiful life in the future.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 21st day of June, 1982.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was
duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at a regular
meeting thereof, held on the 21st day of June, 1982, by the
following vote of the Council:
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS
Decker, Hart, Latta, Moses
