Board issues several proclamations honoring line workers, firefighters and telecommunicators; volunteer lauded
Summary
Commissioners approved proclamations declaring Line Worker Appreciation Day (April 18), Mitchell County Firefighter Appreciation Day (May 3), Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 13–19), and Child Abuse Awareness Month (April). The board also publicly thanked a volunteer distribution manager for storm relief work.
At its April 7 meeting the Mitchell County Board of Commissioners adopted multiple proclamations recognizing emergency and recovery workers and community volunteers.
County staff read a proclamation declaring April 18, 2025 as Line Worker Appreciation Day and the board approved it by motion. The board similarly approved a resolution declaring May 3, 2025 as Mitchell County Firefighter Appreciation Day and proclaimed the week of April 13–19 as Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. The county also declared April as Child Abuse Awareness Month. Commissioners paused to present a formal letter of appreciation and a photo for 'Kate,' the distribution manager at Bowman Middle School, and thanked volunteers who supported the county after the storm.
Why it matters: these proclamations publicly acknowledge the role of first responders, telecommunicators and volunteers in the county's ongoing recovery from recent storms, and the recognitions were approved by unanimous voice vote.
