REGARDING THE
STATE ETHICS LONG FORM DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
WHEREAS, the North Carolina State Legislature has taken steps to ensure public confidence in
a variety of boards that oversee and operate with public funds, and it was with the best of intentions that a
State Ethics Long Form Disclosure Statement was created and required of members participating on
some boards; and
WHEREAS, the effect of this document is beginning to be felt and the Iredell County Board of
Commissioners respectfully requests a review of the document and the subsequent impact that has
resulted from its implementation; and
WHEREAS, Iredell County is grateful to the citizens who have volunteered their time and
expertise to sit on boards; and
WHEREAS, the volunteers have agreed to accept these positions that can demand significant
time and commitment; and
WHEREAS, volunteers are serving as representatives of state government, county government,
and of their communities, in operating and overseeing the mission and function of a variety of mandated
agencies and departments; and
WHEREAS, the welfare and operation of the boards appointed by the Iredell County Board of
Commissioners are now in jeopardy; and
WHEREAS, while ethics in state and local governments are important, the public access to this
private information is excessive and may impede the recruitment efforts for qualified local business
people to serve on the boards.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners
requests that state representatives who have been elected to represent Iredell County review the State
Ethics Long Form Disclosure Statement and the impact it is having on the functioning of local and state
governments.
This the 201" day of March 2007.
