Resident renews call to name sheriff's office for Sheriff Frank Allen; board has not decided
Summary
Earl Daniels asked commissioners to vote to name the Northampton County sheriff's office in honor of Sheriff Frank Allen. Daniels said the proposal has been tabled since last October and urged the board to act; no board decision is recorded in the meeting transcript.
Earl Daniels addressed the commissioners during the public-comment period to renew his request that the county name the sheriff's office in honor of former Sheriff Frank Allen.
Daniels said he first brought the request in October of the prior year and that the board has left the item tabled. He supplied biographies and background material to commissioners and highlighted Allen's law-enforcement career, including Daniels's account that Allen worked to place sheriffs and deputies under a retirement system.
Daniels asked the board to vote on the request at the meeting and said he had provided copies of Allen's biography to commissioners. He concluded, “I respectfully request the board vote on making the sheriff's office naming it in honor of sheriff Frank Allen.”
The meeting transcript records Daniels's request and his characterization that the board had not yet made a decision; commissioners did not record a vote on the naming request during the meeting.
