The Norfolk City Council presented a resolution recognizing Bernard A. Pyszko for more than 41 years of service as the city's longtime attorney and leader of the Department of Law.
Speaker 1 read the resolution noting Pyszko’s nearly 29 years leading the Department of Law and his role in guiding the city through land-use disputes, litigation and other complex matters. Multiple council members offered personal reflections and thanks: one council member said Pyszko had “provided sound legal counsel to the mayors, city councils, city managers, and every department of the city,” while another said Pyszko “fought for openness and transparency” and had mentored generations of attorneys.
Bernard Pyszko (identified in the record when called forward) replied that it had been “an honor and a privilege” to serve and asked to include colleagues in a photograph. The council voted to adopt the resolution and attendees gathered for a ceremonial photo. The council also read an ordinance appointing Adam de Melita as city attorney during the same meeting.
