A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO COMMENDING
JAMES F. THORPE FOR SERVICES TO HIS
COMMUNITY
WHEREAS, COUNCILMAN THORPE has, with characteristic
aptness, termed the period of his office (April, 1970 - March,
1974) as an era of "a little town with big -city problems"; and
WHEREAS, JAMES F. THORPE was always in the forefront
of those who met big -city problems with the incisiveness of a
mathematician, the insight and imagination of a political science
scholar, and the concern and compassion of a dedicated public
servant; and
WHEREAS, MAYOR THORPE'S representation of the City of
San Juan Capistrano before other public bodies and organizations
has brought esteem to our little city and focused attention upon
the caliber of our public officers; and
WHEREAS, JAMES F. THORPE'S eloquence and fair-minded
approach to all problems are indeed inspiring legacies for,
Councilmen to come; and
WHEREAS, COUNCILMAN THORPE has by his own volition,
chosen not to seek another term of office.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of San Juan Capistrano that this little city is pro-
foundly grateful for Councilman Thorpe's services to our commu-
nity; his enthusiasm and wise counsel will be sorely missed; his
concern and dedication will, however, remain to be emulated by
those of us who will serve in the future.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that JAMES F. THORPE be and is
hereby designated ex -officio councilman emeritus and relegated
to join the ranks of "one of the outstanding".
