Summary

The Operations Committee approved a resolution observing Constitution Day (Sept. 17) and Citizenship Day, and credited county attorneys for drafting the document. The committee approved a request to forward the resolution to the full Board of Commissioners for adoption.

The DeKalb County Operations Committee voted to approve a resolution observing Constitution Day on Sept. 17 and recognizing Citizenship Day. Commissioner Robert Patrick introduced the resolution and asked that it receive a committee “due pass” so it can be approved by the full Board of Commissioners and acknowledged on Sept. 17.

During the discussion, Commissioner Patrick credited county attorneys for drafting the resolution; Attorney Sandy Monroe (identified by staff during the meeting) and supervising attorney Suzanne Osborne were named as contributors. Commissioner Terry said the resolution gives the board an opportunity to state where it stands on matters of civic importance and suggested giving the item a more prominent placement on the full board agenda when adopted so the public can attend.

The committee approved the substitute/resolution by voice vote. The item will be forwarded to the full Board of Commissioners for final adoption and to permit recognition on Constitution Day.
