When that person is discharged from service with an honorable <br />discharge they are granted citizenship. This resolution could prevent a new citizen from working with us. As you <br />well know we are a nation of immigrants and can all trace our lineage back to almost any nation in the world. For <br />a nation that professes to be a Christian nation did Christ not say love one another'??? <br />Lewis M. Williams <br />From: John Day <br />Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 2:42 PM <br />To: _Department Heads <br />Cc: _BOC <br />Subjac~ Resolution -English as the Official Language <br />Good afternoon, <br />The attached resolution, introduced by Commissioner Privette, will be discussed by the BOC at its regular <br />meeting January 22. Last night the Board asked for comments from department directors regarding how such a <br />policy would impact the operations of their departments. Please read item number 4 carefully - it states that all <br />programs, publications, documents, etc., will be in English only. The way I read it, no language other than English <br />will be spoken or written while conducting the county's business. <br />Please be brief and concise in your assessments, and include a list of any publications or documents used by <br />your departments that are in a language other than English. Please also indicate if you ever use the services of a <br />translator (staff member or contractor). <br />Forward this information to me by noon on Tuesday, January 16"'. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. <br />John <br />John Day <br />County Manager <br />Cabarrus County <br />PO Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br />Phone: 704-920-2895 <br />Fax: 704-920-2820 <br />1/16/2007 <br />`T <br />
