HONORING CITY ADMINISTRATOR OF FULTON, MISSOURI, BILL JOHNSON
______
HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER
of missouri
in the house of representatives
Thursday, December 23, 2021
Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a man who has dedicated his life to public service and bring attention to the communities he has improved. After twenty-five years as the City Administrator of Fulton, Missouri, Bill Johnson is retiring.
Over the last 25 years, Mr. Johnson oversaw countless meaningful projects, including, but not limited to, construction of a new city hall building, police station, fire station, animal shelter, warehouse complex, recreation center, golf course, and an airport runway. The list of major accomplishments doesn't stop there. He was able to achieve upgrades for water and wastewater utilities, rebuilding of natural gas and electric delivery systems, improvements to the sanitary sewer system, and much more.
Mr. Johnson also promoted Fulton at the state, national and international level through his participation in organizations like the International City Management Association, Missouri Municipal League, and Missouri State Homeland Security Committee to name a few.
In 2014 Mr. Johnson was awarded the J.T. Bell Award for the ``City Manager of the Year'' for the State of Missouri. This award, given by his peers, is evidence of Mr. Johnson's value to the community and commitment to efficient, effective government.
It is not surprising that a man who has so passionately dedicated his adult life to public service started that service in the U.S. military. Mr. Johnson is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps where he received three Meritorious Masts and the Good Conduct Medal during his Service.
Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Mr. Johnson on his accomplishments as the City Administrator of Fulton and a well-deserved retirement. More importantly, please help me thank him and his family for their service to the city, the community, and our entire nation.
