WHEREAS, Thomas Joseph Cosgrove was born on November 3, 1948, and moved to the City of Lincoln in the County of Placer in 1987, and ever since that time he remained dedicated to making Lincoln a better place to live by serving as a volunteer firefighter for many years prior to the city adopting a full-time fire department and by serving on the city council and other local organizations; and

WHEREAS, Tom Cosgrove was first elected to the City Council of the City of Lincoln in 1994, at which time the city had a population of 8,304 people and one traffic light at the intersection of State Highway Route 193 and State Highway Route 65. He served 18 years as a city council member and served as Mayor of the City of Lincoln in 1997, 2001, 2005, and 2010; and

WHEREAS, Tom Cosgrove played an instrumental role in the construction of the State Highway Route 65 Lincoln Highway, a $325,000,000 project in a rural county that was nearly impossible to build without support and a political champion, and in the case of this highway, that champion was Tom Cosgrove; and

WHEREAS, Dating back to 1998, when the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency Board was prioritizing what would be the next big project to take on, Tom Cosgrove got the City Council of the City of Lincoln to pledge $1,000,000 as matching money to get the project to the top of the list and, ultimately, that promise was primarily fulfilled with a creative in kind contribution of fill material for the Lincoln Boulevard Interchange from the wastewater treatment plant; and

WHEREAS, When it came to moving the State Highway Route 65 Lincoln Highway forward, Tom Cosgrove was always at the ready and attended virtually any meeting to further the progress of the project, whether it be technical meetings with rooms full of engineers, regulatory meetings with environmental specialists, meetings with potential funders like the California Transportation Commission, or meetings with the public to get input on the project. Whatever the need, Tom Cosgrove was always there; and

WHEREAS, Tom Cosgrove was also the face of the State Highway Route 65 Lincoln Highway with the community because of all the meetings he attended, and Tom Cosgrove had all the latest information to share, whether it be at a city council meeting, a chamber of commerce get-together, or when running into citizens on the street.

WHEREAS, Tom Cosgrove was also a regional leader, as exemplified by his service on the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Board of Directors from 2000 to 2012, including a term as chair in 2008.

WHEREAS, Tom Cosgrove also spearheaded the effort to modernize the SACOG Board of Directors composition to include every jurisdiction, no matter how large or small, at the table. The expansion to a 31-member board of directors continues to ensure that every city and county has a say in the regional issues that SACOG addresses; and
