RESOLUTION NO. "1 3- (; Õ CJ
COMMENDING MARTHA CLEVENGER
WHEREAS, Martha Clevenger has been named 1992 Saratoga citizen of
the Year by the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce, an honor she was
accorded for good and sufficient reasons which reflect her
commitment to the City of Saratoga, and
WHEREAS, Marty may be best known for serving on the Saratoga City
Council for a total of three full terms, longer than anyone else in
the history of the city, and obtaining more votes than any other
candidate in each election she entered, and serving two terms as
vice Mayor and two terms as Mayor, and
WHEREAS, while on the Council Marty also served as Saratoga's
representative on various regional boards, including the West
Valley Sanitation District, Santa Clara County Cities Association,
Housing and Community Development Council, Intergovernmental
council, and several committees of the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, and
WHEREAS, Marty engaged in many other activities on the Council,
including proposing the City's wildly successful volunteer program;
taking on the establishment of Village Parking District #3, a
daunting task which she helped accomplish by the improved
relationship with the business community she helped to establish;
and twelve years of working to ensure that concerns over Route 85
were addressed--the concerns of individuals, neighborhoods, and the
community at large regarding design, soundwall height and other
issues, and
WHEREAS, Marty also reached beyond the boundaries of Saratoga in
working with the Council to create the Japanese sister City
program, representing Saratoga on four trips to our sister city
and energetically involving herself both in Japanese visits here
and in the student exchange program, and
WHEREAS, she has done all this while maintaining her unmatched
popularity with Saratogans, the reasons for which are clear to
anyone who spends any time with Marty--that she has the ability to
make anyone feel comfortable, has an unusual empathy with staff
members and others with whom she has worked, and, most of all, has
a real concern for people.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that MARTHA CLEVENGER is hereby
commended and thanked most heartily for her public spirit and
willingness to give time, energy and creativity for the good of her
community and her fellow Saratogans.
The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted by the
Saratoga City Council at a meeting held on the 17th day of March,
1993, by the following vote:
