This Resolution, titled the "Clarence “Garret” Whitescarver Ceremonial Recognition Resolution of 2023," officially recognizes and expresses gratitude to Clarence “Garret” Whitescarver upon his retirement from the Government of the District of Columbia. It highlights his significant service as the Department of Buildings’ (DOB) Chief Building Official since 2017, a role in which he was responsible for reviewing plans and issuing permits for all non-federal construction on private property within the District, including new buildings, additions, demolitions, and garages. The resolution also acknowledges his prior career as a jet pilot in the United States Marine Corps and Air Force, his transition into the building industry after the 2008 housing crisis, and his subsequent rise through the ranks of the former Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) to his current leadership position. It emphasizes the respect and admiration he has earned from District government officials for his decade-plus of high-quality service to the residents of the District of Columbia.
