Long has served as Director of the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services since March 1, 1964 and the mandated retirement date is December 31, 1983, and whereas the Board of Social Services will need additional time to select a replacement, it is requesting an extension be granted for Mrs. Long to remain as Director until the Board finds a replacement to assume the position is completed.
