process of reviewing their information to make a determination on this mtter. He said he had
received assurances that this asphalt plant is temporary and should be out a the area by November

RESOLUTION FOR SOCIAL SERVICES WORKERS WEEK: MOTION from Chairman Stewart to approve the
following resolution:
The men and women who work for North Carolina's 100 county Departments of Social Services are
helping their fellow Tar Heels become all they are meant to be. Their tireless efforts on behalf of
others have helped citizens from many walks of life --the poor, the elderly, the young and the
disabled.
North Carolina is fortunate to have county social service workers who care about the people
they serve. Every day they are making a tremendous difference in thousands of lives.
The goals of these professionals are to provide the financial assistance needed for people to
maintain an adequate standard of living; provide for the protection of children, older adults and
the disabled; provide opportunities for personal self-support; and operate social services programs
efficiently. They are not only striving to make people's lives better, they are also playing a
major role in making the system of services better.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners ,joins JAMES G. MARTIN, Governor of
the State of North Carolina, in proclaiming April 22 through April 28, 1990, as "Appreciation Week
for County Department of Social Services Workers," and urges citizens to commend these professionals
and recognize the N. C. Social Services Association and the N. C. State Chapter of the National
Eligibility Workers Association for their efforts.
