A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR HARRELL E. JONES OF JASPER COUNTY FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO JASPER COUNTY GOVERNMENT, AND TO WISH HIM ALL THE BEST UPON HIS RETIREMENT.
Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the House of Representatives honors those individuals who give of themselves in benefit of their local government, strengthening their own communities in making South Carolina a better place to work and live; and
Whereas, wearing many hats in his career with state and local government, Harrell E. Jones certainly deserves such recognition, as the work he has accomplished has proved invaluable to his community; and
Whereas, from 1990 until 2006, Mr. Jones faithfully served Jasper County as Director of Planning and Building Services, assuming a variety of functions. Working as the building official, he issued building permits to structurally sound edifices, and as director and secretary of the County Planning Commission, he reviewed commercial projects and residential and commercial subdivisions; and
Whereas, Jasper County officials, developers, and builders alike trust Mr. Jones, with his many years of experience, to be fair and honest in his review, as he was in the first group of South Carolina licensed building code officials, and has been licensed continually since then through the South Carolina Building Codes Council; and
Whereas, under Mr. Jones' tremendous leadership, the Jasper County Building Department earned a Class 4 rating on residential and commercial construction, surpassing all but seven other building departments in the state with that score; and
Whereas, in his role as director, he also functioned as Flood Plain administrator, Zoning administrator, and secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals; and he has been vice chairman of the Jasper County Transportation Committee since 1993; and
Whereas, putting his knowledge of building and HVAC design to work, Mr. Jones created a small architectural design enterprise in 1988 called "Lowcountry Regional Designs", which specializes in residential and light commercial custom designs; and
Whereas, a devoted husband and father, Mr. Jones shares a loving marriage with his wife, Alda Cameron Jones, and enjoys his two sons, Everett and Michael; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is proud to honor Mr. Harrell Jones for his tireless commitment to his career and community, and is certain that he will continue to make exceptional contributions in the years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor Harrell E. Jones of Jasper County for his outstanding contributions to Jasper County government, and to wish him all the best upon his retirement.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Harrell E. Jones.
