IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Yi�fZ c E
Sara K. Haire, Chairman
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Mrs. Judy Clayton, Director of the Library, was present to
receive this special resolution.
SPECIAL COUNTY FLAG DESIGNED BY COUNTY EMPLOYEE: Chairman
Haire announced the presentation of a special county flag which was
designed by Mrs. Cathy Kopp, Board of Elections employee. Mrs.
Kopp was called upon at this time to tell of her design of this
flag. Mr. Mashburn said, in a way of explaining why the flag was
made, that a letter was received from the University of North
Carolina, who is preparing to celebrate their 200th anniversary.
A part of the celebration was requesting that each of the 100
counties in the state send their county flags. Iredell County does
not have a county flag, so a county employee who is artistic was
chosen to design a flag. Mrs. Kopp had designed flags previously
for the county, he said. This flag is not being presented as the
official county flag, but is merely a flag that depicts things
about Iredell County that would be appropriate for this ceremony
that the University is having. The staff is requesting the board's
permission to fly this flag at the University of North Carolina.
Mrs. Kopp explained the illustrations on the flag. The lake
and the sailboats depict the southern end of the county, and the
balloons depicting the rally in the northern end of the county.
There were a chicken, a cow, and cotton, depicting the agricultural
industry, along with dogwood blossoms, all centered around the
county seal.
Chairman Haire thanked Mr. Mashburn and Mrs. Kopp, and said
the student who carries the flag will be very proud. She thanked
Mrs. Kopp for her work on the flag which will be displayed in Kenan
Stadium on October 12, 1993.
SPECIAL AWARD FOR EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND THE EMPLOYMENT SECURITY OFFICE:
Chairman Haire recognized a representative from the State
Employment Security Commission, Mr. Lewis Locust, who came to give
special awards for the work accomplishments of both the Department
of Social Services in Iredell County and the Employment Security
Commission.
This is Iredell County's second award in the three years that
it has been presented. Over 60 counties participated in the food
stamp employment training program, Locust said. Nine of the
counties received awards this year.
Chairman Haire said she would like to thank the agencies and
offer congratulations, on behalf of the board, for their
outstanding work.
SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF DR. ROBERT LONG, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE

County Board of Commissioners and a former chairman of the board.
