SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 380
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Many proud members of the Texas Association of |
|
|
Counties are gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, in observance |
|
|
of County Government Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Formed in 1969, TAC represents all 254 of the |
|
|
state's counties; it coordinates and augments the efforts of |
|
|
county officials to deliver responsive government, and it |
|
|
promotes the interests of local government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through TAC, counties unite to better meet the |
|
|
challenges of contemporary society; the organization supports |
|
|
the endeavors of county officials and facilitates greater |
|
|
efficiency; it offers training and education, gathers |
|
|
information on issues and best practices, and provides a wide |
|
|
variety of services, from email and webhosting to a risk |
|
|
management pool, a health and employee benefits pool, and an |
|
|
unemployment compensation group account fund; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TAC communicates to the general public, making |
|
|
citizens aware of how their county government serves them; in |
|
|
turn, it shares the counties' perspective with the state leaders |
|
|
who can advance their ability to operate in the most effective |
|
|
manner; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The National Association of Counties has |
|
|
designated April 2023 as National County Government Month; the |
|
|
observance highlights the many responsibilities handled by |
|
|
counties, among them public safety and justice, emergency |
|
|
response, elections management, recordkeeping, health care for |
|
|
the indigent, and mental health care; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each day, county officials work diligently to |
|
|
improve quality of life for local residents, and by amplifying |
|
|
their contributions, the Texas Association of Counties helps to |
|
|
strengthen communities all across the state; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as County |
|
|
Government Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of |
|
|
the Texas Association of Counties sincere best wishes for a |
|
|
productive and enjoyable visit to Austin. |
