WHEREAS, William W. Martin has tendered his resignation
from the Board of Trustees of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
District to the Hon. Mayor of the City of St. Louis, and the Mayor
has reluctantly accepted Mr. Martin's resignation, and
WHEREAS, Mr Martin was the only original member still
serving on this Board, having served since the District was formed
in 1954; and
WHEREAS, this Board wishes to express its deep
appreciation to Mr. Martin for his services to the District and
the residents of the District as a member and as former Chairman
and Vice-Chairman of this Board.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE METROPOLITAN ST LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT:
The Board deeply regrets that the condition of Mr.
Martin's health precludes his continuing to serve on the Board.
He served throughout his tenure with the Board with
great devotion and attention to the problems of the District. The
distinction of his performance and the importance of his
contribution are accentuated by the fact that, as an original
Board member, his term encompassed the infancy of the District
with its extraordinary problems as a new concept without precedent
to follow. He was instrumental in the formulation of the
Districts policies, and, indeed, in bringing it from its origin to
a full-functioning, efficient operation. He was Chairman from
July, 1956 to July, 1957, but his outstanding qualities of
leadership were felt throughout his years on the Board, not alone
during his chairmanship.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this expression
of regret and of our hope for a speedy restoration of his health
be forwarded to Mr. Martin. The foregoing Resolution was adopted July 20, 1962.
