A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA COMMENDING RICHARD LARA
FOR HIS SERVICES TO THE CITY
WHEREAS, when seeking to encapsulate a description of
Richard Lara's philosophy of life, the Prince of Wales coat of arms
enscription, "ICH DIEN (I serve)", comes to mind; "Strong in Rule",
(the definition of his name) Richard Lara has pursued a fulgent way
in an all too often f.uliginous world. Unstained, projecting the
straight and comprehensive model of the ideal Man of Law, he has
fulfilled the multifarious aspects of his chosen profession: the
enforcement of formally moral, ethical and spiritual rules of conduct
as a person duly trained and sworn to so carry out; and
WHEREAS, this, Captain Lara has done since June 15, 1955,
when he entered into Citv em_plovment as a police officer. Another
quotation comes to mind when attempting to characterize Captain Lara:
"WHO DOTH PROTECT
HIS NEIGHBORS ALL
HATH HEARD IN TRUTH
GOD'S OWN SWEET CALL
AND O'ER EVIL CASTS A PALL", and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Azusa
unites in extending its commendation, gratitude and appreciation to
CAPTAIN RICHARD LARA
on the occasion of his well-earned retirement; further, it wishes him
the best of good fortune as he, "The Compleat Angler", in the future, has
greater freedom to excel in wreaking marine life havoc as he exhibits
his superior prowess in piscatorial pursuit and acquisition.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of April, 1986.
