H.R. No. 789

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Many proud residents of Mansfield are visiting
	Austin on March 4, 2015, to celebrate the distinctive attributes
	and achievements of their community during Mansfield Day at the
	State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located in the Cross Timber country of North Central
	Texas, south of Arlington, the settlement was first established by
	pioneers in the 1840s; in the late 1850s, R. S. Man and Julian Feild
	built a gristmill in the area, at the crossroads that later became
	the center of the town, which was named for the two men; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Feild soon added a general store across the
	street from the mill and became the town's postmaster in 1860;
	during the Civil War, the Man and Feild gristmill supplied meal and
	flour to fighting soldiers, and it later did the same for those at
	United States Army outposts and Indian reservations in Texas and
	New Mexico; though incorporated in 1909, the town remained a
	farming community until the suburban expansion of the Dallas/Fort
	Worth area brought many new residents; and
	WHEREAS, Today, the city's more than 60,000 residents can
	enjoy 240 acres of parks and a quality of life reflected in the
	town's inclusion on Money magazine's 2012 list of the top places to
	live in the United States; and
	WHEREAS, Mansfield will be led in 2015 by the members of its
	city council, including Mayor David Cook and Mayor Pro Tempore
	Larry Broseh, as well as Brent Newsom, Stephen Lindsey, Darryl
	Haynes, Cory Hoffman, and Wendy Burgess; also committed to the
	town's well-being are members of the Mansfield Area Chamber of
	Commerce, including its executive committee, Rob Schulz, Bry Acker,
	Joanie Pace, Grant Hall, David Harris, Kevin Allee, Leigh Ann
	Tipping, and Dan Phillips, its other directors, Monty Goddard,
	Angel Biasatti, Michelle Canton, Jenny Conrad, Mike Leasor, Omar
	Pineda, Karen Tecklenburg, Katie Watson, Brendan Kelly, Louis J.
	Stefanos, and Jim Milligan, and its ex officio directors, Tom
	Blanton, Clayton Chandler, Dr. Jim Vaszauskas, and Scott Welmaker;
	and
	WHEREAS, This charming town is an outstanding place in which
	to live, work, and raise a family, and its citizens may indeed take
	great pride in their heritage and ongoing achievements; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 4, 2015, as Mansfield Day at the
	State Capitol and extend to members of the visiting delegation
	sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable event.
