A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA BESTOWING THE TITLES OF
"CITY CLERK EMERITUS"AND "POET LAUREATE"
OF THE CITY OF AZUSA TO
ADOLPH A. SOLIS
Whereas, our planetary orb circumnavigates the fiery sun, hurtling through the infinite void at a
velocity of 24,000 miles per hour, and
Whereas, this inexorable absquatulation engenders the diurnal passage of the seasons in an endless
cycle of decline and renewal, and
Whereas, the Great Almighty has given us our beloved native son, Adolph Solis, to make this
journey seventy times around the solar system, and
Whereas, he has devoted virtually all his adult life to arduous and selfless service to his community
and his country, and
Whereas, for the last quarter century Adolph Solis has served honorably as Azusa's City Clerk, a
veritable Rock of Gibraltar of unyielding integrity amidst the shifting gusts of political
agitation, and
Whereas, he touched the lives and hearts of innumerable petitioners who found their way to his
subterranean office in search of advice and assistance to navigate the troubled waters of
their lives and fortunes, and
Whereas, his wry wit, his austere poetry, his wise counsel and his shining example have
immeasurably enriched the public life of this City, and
Whereas, the vicissitudes of planetary travel have caused him to pause in his benevolent labors on
behalf of the people and community of his hometown,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: that
henceforth, Adolph Solis shall continue on his journey carrying the honorific title of "City Clerk
Emeritus" and
FURTHER DECLARES: that Adolph Solis shall further carry the title, honor and responsibility
of "Poet Laureate" for the City of Azusa and that in so doing, the City Council recognizes, celebrates
and draws inspiration from this man of frail flesh and indomitable spirit.
