Bill > J01478

This resolution honors Martha Sauerbrey upon her retirement after 20 years of dedicated service to the Tioga County Legislature. The resolution highlights her lifelong commitment to Tioga County, beginning with her work for New York State Senator Tom Libous, where she served as his "eyes and ears" for the county. She then spent 15 years at the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce, supporting local citizens and businesses. Her public service continued as she was elected to represent Tioga County's 2nd district for 20 years, including serving as chairwoman for 12 of those years, during which she managed daily operations and implemented initiatives such as keeping taxes low, supporting veterans, developing a new radio system for first responders, and fostering county development. Beyond her official role, Sauerbrey co-founded Tioga Women Lead and the Institute for Advancement, chaired a Shared Services Program, redeveloped the Anti-Drug Coalition, and participated in the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, among other board and council involvements. The resolution acknowledges her resilience through challenges like floods and the pandemic, her recognition as a "Movers and Shakers" honoree, and her loyal, distinguished service that earned her the admiration of her colleagues and constituents. It concludes by wishing her well in her retirement plans to travel and spend time with family, while noting her intention to remain involved in the community she calls home.
