RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending Janie Broome, Joey Walker, Marilyn Waters, Helen Brantley, Serge
Strickland, and Billy Cochran for their outstanding service to Pierce County,
Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
the Board of Commissioners of Pierce County, Georgia, have undertaken the
restoration of the Pierce County Courthouse at Blackshear; and
WHEREAS,
the board determined that it was not feasible for the taxpayers to pay for a
fountain to be located on the courthouse grounds; and
WHEREAS,
a group of interested Pierce County citizens, namely Janie Broome, Joey Walker,
Marilyn Waters, Helen Brantley, Serge Strickland, and Billy Cochran, determined
that the restoration of the courthouse would not be complete without a fountain
on the courthouse grounds; and
WHEREAS,
this group of individuals on their own initiative proceeded with a project to
sell commemorative bricks to pay for said fountain; and
WHEREAS,
the sale of the commemorative bricks successfully funded the project;
and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of this
remarkable and distinguished group be recognized for their service to Pierce
County in obtaining funding for such an admirable and beneficial
project.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body recognize and commend Janie Broome, Joey Walker, Marilyn Waters, Helen
Brantley, Serge Strickland, and Billy Cochran for their dedication and unselfish
public service to the citizens of Pierce County.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit appropriate copies of this resolution to Janie Broome,
Joey Walker, Marilyn Waters, Helen Brantley, Serge Strickland, and Billy
Cochran.
