By: Bonnen of Galveston | H.R. No. 1539 |
|
||
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. |
