AIIP /"/1.771 RESOLUTION NO. 6953 A RESOLUTION honoring Pat McClain, executive director of government relations, for his service and contributions to the city of Everett. WHEREAS, Pat McClain has devoted the past 40 years to fostering a vibrant and successful community, including 22 years of service to the City of Everett under four different administrations; WHEREAS, Pat is always quick to share credit, but has played a crucial role in many important community endeavors throughout his time in Everett, both at the City and in previous roles at the Everett Chamber of Commerce and Everett Community College; WHEREAS, Pat's fingerprints can be seen in nearly every major Everett institution, from Boeing and the aerospace center to Naval Station Everett, from the University Center and Washington State University to transportation investments throughout the region, and finally, to our beloved AquaSox; WHEREAS, Pat's love of sports and sports metaphors is fitting, because he has often been called a coach — the one who assembles a team and rallies them around a common goal, and who mentors new players as they join the community; WHEREAS, Pat has been valued throughout his career for his integrity, his loyalty and his trustworthiness, all hallmarks of a true public servant; WHEREAS, Pat has earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues, community members, legislators, college presidents, and military commanders alike, and his ideas and enthusiasm will be greatly missed;
