H.R. No. 1539

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Kimberley Rodgers, an information services
supervisor for the Friendswood Police Department, has received the
Five Star Spirit Award from the City of Friendswood for her
courageous and quick response to a crisis; and
WHEREAS, This prestigious honor recognizes city employees
who exemplify courtesy, competence, reliability, professionalism,
and enthusiasm; recipients of the award are nominated by colleagues
and members of the community and are honored quarterly at city
council meetings; and
WHEREAS, While dropping her daughter off at school, "KC"
Rodgers heard a girl cry out for help; Ms. Rodgers discovered that
the child's father had become unconscious in the driver's seat of
his vehicle, and Ms. Rodgers quickly dialed 911 while another woman
started CPR; Ms. Rodgers subsequently took over the CPR even as she
stayed on the phone with the emergency operator; the medics soon
arrived and were able to revive the man with the use of a
defibrillator; Ms. Rodgers remained at the scene to comfort his
family, and her calm presence was greatly appreciated; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Rodgers has worked at the Friendswood Police
Department since 1998 and has served in her present position since
2006; during her tenure with the department, she has provided
numerous callers with emergency CPR instructions, but until that
fateful day, she had never performed it herself; this outstanding
public servant previously worked at the Grimes County Sheriff's
Office and the Travis County Sheriff's Office, where she received a
Life Saving Award in 1997; and
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, KC Rodgers enjoys the love and
support of her husband of 14 years, David, and she is active in her
community as leader of their three daughters' Girl Scout troops;
and
WHEREAS, With remarkable composure, skill, and clear
thinking, KC Rodgers helped save the life of a fellow Texan, and
this award justly recognizes her swift and selfless act; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Kimberley Rodgers on her receipt of
a Five Star Spirit Award from the City of Friendswood, an honor that
she has richly earned; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Rodgers as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
