COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK RESOLUTION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following resolu-
COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK
1987
North Carolina county government has served the citizens of the state since 1663 when the
County of Albemarle was authorized by King Charles II. Today there are 100 counties in North
Carolina providing services to more than six million people. As the population has increased and
service needs have undergone major changes, the role of county government has evolved to meet these
demands.
Counties are active partners in the governmental structure of this state and the nation. They
are responsible for a growing numer of services, including social services, health care, mental
health, libraries, veteran's services, tax assessment and collection, planning and zoning, parks and
recreation, water and sewer services, ambulance services, sheriff's departments, deed registration,
building inspection, and agricultural extension. They also provide funding for local schools.
County officials remain dedicated to providing as many of the needed services as possible,
without placing an undue burden on local taxpayers. Counties throughout the years have contributed
to North Carolina's tradition of good government. The elected and appointed officials in county
government take great pride in serving the citizens of this state and in being directly involved in
shaping the future of North Carolina.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners does hereby proclaim the week of
February 22 through February 27, 1987, as "County Government Week" in North Carolina, and urges
citizens across the state to learn more about county government's role in our lives and to be more
involved as county citizens.
