Chairwoman Ladner shared Council Member Sniff's thoughts on
Commissioner Beck:
"La Quinta has lost a thoughtful, compassionate, articulate
and passionate man. A Champion of worthy causes. A friend
to and protector of our children. A loving father and
husband. When Martin saw darkness, he sought to illuminate
it. When Martin saw a problem he sought to solve it. When
Martin saw a need, he sought to fill it. In many ways
Martin Beck was a special man. Unique. Endowed with those
qualities that set him above the ordinary and will make him
truly unforgettable. Martin's legacy to us is one of
love. Love of Country, love of community, love of friends
and love of family."
Chairwoman Ladner requested a moment of silence in honor of
Commissioner Martin Beck who passed away September 25, 1990.
