RESOLUTION
Resolution
Whereas, the nation's 3,069 counties serve more than 300 million Americans by providing essential services to create healthy, safe, vibrant and economically resilient communities; and
Whereas, counties move America forward by providing health care, administration of justice, keeping communities safe, running elections, managing solid waste, keeping records and much more; and
Whereas, Guilford County and all counties take pride in their responsibility to protect and enhance the health, welfare and safety of its residents in efficient and responsible ways; and
Whereas, each year since 1991, the National Association of Counties has encouraged across the Country to actively promote their own programs and services to the public that they serve; and
Whereas, Guilford County plans to host community forums during the month of April to spotlight the ways in which Guilford makes safety and security a priority in our community, provide lunch and learn opportunities for employees, and promote awareness of the County's roles and resources. Information and a detailed calendar of events will be posted on the County's website: http://www.myguilford.com/.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Guilford County Board of Commissioners do hereby proclaim April 2016 as National County Government Month and encourage all county officials, employees, schools and residents to take this opportunity to participate in county government celebration activities.
In Witness Whereof, I hereunto set my hand and cause the corporate seal of the County of Guilford to be affixed, this the 7th day of April 2016.
