Committee honors Sandy Kim for 49 years of service

The Richland County Natural Resources Committee adopted a resolution honoring Sandy Kim for 49 years of service to the county.

Speaker 5 outlined Kim’s career: six years in the sheriff's office beginning in 1967, returning to county service in 1982 with Extension, long involvement with the county fair as a volunteer officer, and service as a citizen board member of the fair. "The resolution just to honor her, 49 years service, not only as an employee, but a volunteer," Speaker 5 said.

Speaker 6 moved to approve the resolution and recalled knowing Kim when she started in 1967; Speaker 4 seconded. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote.

Committee members noted that a part-time support staff position tied to Kim's role was eliminated in the budget and that the county will not continue funding for that position. The resolution recognized Kim’s long service and the committee publicly thanked her at the meeting.

Next steps: none required; the resolution was adopted during the meeting.
