Post Office Box 20 • Danbury, North Carolina 27016 • Phone (336) 593-2448 • Fax (336) 593-2346

From the Chairman

Stokes County Board of Commissioners

On behalf of the County Board of Commissioners, I am proud to present the second annual report to

the citizens of Stokes County. The purpose of this publication is to provide information about many of the

programs and projects that your county government is involved with, or is required by state law to provide.

We also want to make you aware of some of the positive things that your hard earned tax dollars are

accomplishing. In addition to those programs required by the State, your Board of Commissioners estab-

lished some priority goals, or projects that we wanted to accomplish during our terms of office. Many of

these are currently being implemented and the benefits are now being recognized. Others require more time

and effort, and we are still working on them.

This report will include some detailed information about the county’s finances and shows where our

funds come from and what they are spent on. According to our "Comprehensive Annual Financial Report"

and our 2008 audit, Stokes County continues to improve its financial strength and our auditors gave us an

unqualified opinion. This means no financial irregularities were found during the annual audit. Your County

Commissioners and county staff try very hard to be good stewards with your tax dollars and provide needed

services to our citizens in the most effective and cost-wise manner possible.

The Board of Commissioners has every reason to be proud of our professional county department

heads and staff that provide services directly to the citizens of Stokes County. Included in this report are

some of the more significant accomplishments they and members of their staff completed during the past

year.

On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, and all members of the Stokes County Staff, it is

our honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Stokes County and to provide county services to all those who

need them.Respectfully,

J. Leon Inman, Chairman

Stokes County Board of County Commissioners

Highlights of County Services for 2008




Cooperative Extension1. Stokes County 4-H and FCSin partnership with the EatRight Network implemented aNutrition-in-a-box programfor 4th grade classes in StokesCounty, total of 3 schools andover 300 youth with nutritionstations. The five stationstaught about label reading forfat, sugar and salt consump-tion. Youth learned aboutproper portion sizes and healthy snack foods. 2. Worked with three operations to add value to meat goats by reducing input costand make goat operations profitable. The operations switched from a grain fed situ-ation to a more holistic system that included FAMACHA, rotational grazing, selffeeding of high protein cooked blocks and no grain. Non-labor savings from theseefforts were $3,885.00.3. Collaborated with Healthy Carolinians and the Stokes Reynolds Hospital to holda series of farmers’ markets to provide fresh locally grown produce to residents, hos-pital patients and hospital staff. Enhanced nutrition, increased profits for small lim-ited resource farmers and collaborative community efforts all contributed to makethis a huge success. Plans are being developed to continue this offering in 2009.4. A definitive gap exists between the generation of computer savvy individuals andindividuals who are not computer literate. Most farmers in Stokes County rely onnotebooks to keep farm records. Through collaboration with NC A&T and ForsythTechnical Community College, Stokes County Cooperative Extension provided theF.A.C.T (Farmers Adopting Computer Training) program to small, limited resourcefarmers and their families who desired computer literacy skills. 12 farmers complet-ed over 60 hours of hands-on computer training to assist them with records man-agement.

PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING PERMITSThe first step to most all projects is approval from the Health Department for sewage disposal. State lawrequires that before a building permit can be issued an authorization or improvements permit must be issuedfrom Environmental Health. Once you have the improvements permit or authorization you will bring a set ofplans into our office. We check the zoning classification and location of the property to assure compliance withthe zoning and subdivision guidelines and then review the plans. The applicant obtains an address from map-ping. Most plans are reviewed the same day. If everything is in order a permit is then issued. This takes about15 to 30 minutes according to the size of the home.
