  15 own words, in "kind of a conservative Jewish home" in
  16 Sioux City, learned early from his mother that good
  17 deeds will be noticed, should not be bragged about,
  18 and will provide a barometer by which others may judge
  19 a person's accomplishments; and
  20  WHEREAS, Mr. Davis has since that time accrued an
  21 impressive list of accomplishments, including
  22 membership on the Des Moines Human Rights Commission
  1018 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 86th Day

  3  WHEREAS, during these years, Mr. Davis was building
  4 one of Des Moines' largest, most influential, and
  5 prestigious law firms, now known as the firm of Davis,
  6 Brown, Koehn, Shors & Roberts, P.C., but which has
  7 most often been described through the years as "the
  8 Davis firm"; and
  9  WHEREAS, Mr. Davis' passion for community-building
  10 was evidenced by his decision to run for mayor of Des
  11 Moines in 1995; and
  12  WHEREAS, Mr. Davis brought civility, elegance, and
  13 a hearty, baritone voice to the office of mayor; and
  14  WHEREAS, Mr. Davis' fellow mayors in the Golden
  15 Circle of Des Moines have expressed their respect for
  16 him; applauded his concern for and efforts to
  17 strengthen the relationship between Des Moines and the
  18 suburban communities; praised his negotiating skills,
  19 gentlemanly manner, integrity, and vision; and noted
  20 the improvements and tough decisions Mr. Davis made in
  21 his brief tenure in the mayor's office; and
  22  WHEREAS, after learning of the recurrence of a
  23 life-threatening illness in the summer of 1996, Mr.
  24 Davis planned to serve out his term, but with much
  25 regret announced on March 30, 1997, that the illness
  26 forced him to make his decision to resign as mayor;
  27 and
  28  WHEREAS, although his time as mayor has been
  29 limited in duration, Mr. Davis will be remembered for
  30 his vigorous efforts to improve education, to

  Page 3

  1 implement a helpful police presence in the community,
  2 and to establish responsible budgetary practices; NOW
  3 THEREFORE,
  4  BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the Senate

  6 his deep commitment to community service, and for the
  7 benefits he brought to the city of Des Moines and all
  8 the citizens of Iowa;
  86th Day TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1997 1019
  9  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Senate wishes
  10 Mayor Davis strength, courage, and its hope that the
  11 comfort and attention offered by his family and many
  12 friends will support and sustain him; and
