228 HOME CARE WEEK PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, many of our elderly and disabled citizens prefer to maintain their independence and individuality by remaining in their own homes rather than moving to a medical or nursing facility; and WHEREAS, home is a place of comfort, a place which provides the loving support of family, f~iends and neighbors, a place which maintains the freedom and dignity of the individual regardless of their physical disabilities; and WHEREAS, home care allows our elderly and disabled citizens to receive the medical assistance and broad multi-disciplinary team health services they need in the home, thereby alleviating the need to abandon the comfort of their homes and communities; and WHEREAS, the services provided through home care serve our elderly and disabled citizens in the most compassionate and effective way possible while retaining the dignity and independence of the individual; NOW, THEREFORE, I, James Lentz, Chairman, Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners do hereby proclaim the week of November 29 through December 5, 1987 as HOME CARE WEEK IN CABARRUS COUNTY to coincide with the celebration of Home Care Week in North Carolina and National Home Care Week across the country; and FURTHERMORE, that our community expresses its support and appreciation of home care providers and commends all dedicated individuals who have devoted their careers to providing high quality home care services to its citizens. /s/ James Lentz James Lentz, Chairman Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners Mr. Charles D.

Commissioner Hamby presented a proposed resolution setting forth the intent of the Board to establish a Cabarrus Utilities Board. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Moss with Commissioners Hamby, Moss, and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Payne voting against, the Board adopted the following resolution as proposed by Commissioner Hamby. RESOLUTION It is becoming clear that the county is involved in water and sewer issues and projects throughout Cabarrus County. A greater amount of time and effort on the part of the county commissioners is being devoted to these important utility issues. The county has advisory boards to assist in a number of areas by study- ing specific issues and making recommendations to the commissioners for action. These boards, such as the boards assisting in zoning, parks and recreation, library issues, social services and mental health issues, have been very helpful in making recommendations to the county commissioners.
