THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4346) to request that the Department of Transportation name a portion of Ocean Boulevard in Surfside Beach from 17th Avenue North to Melody Lane, in honor of Terry Benjamin Cooper of Horry County, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME A PORTION OF OCEAN BOULEVARD IN SURFSIDE BEACH FROM 17TH AVENUE NORTH TO MELODY LANE, IN HONOR OF TERRY BENJAMIN COOPER OF HORRY COUNTY, AND INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ON OCEAN BOULEVARD CONTAINING THE WORDS "THE TERRY COOPER BOULEVARD", SO THAT AS THE PUBLIC PASSES THEY WILL REMEMBER THE EXEMPLARY SERVICE OF THIS MODEL SOUTH CAROLINIAN.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly are proud to recognize Terry Benjamin Cooper for his leadership and service, and request that the Department of Transportation name a portion of Ocean Boulevard in Surfside Beach in honor of him; and

Whereas, as the Chairman of the Horry County Council, Terry Cooper is a Republican and District 5 representative who was elected first in 1998 and reelected in 2002. He was appointed Vice Chairman in 2002 and assumed the duties of Chairman in early 2003; and

Whereas, as a member of the county council, Mr. Cooper helped develop legislation for the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and established the Citizens Advocating Road Safety Committee to study and recommend evacuation routes from the South Strand area to the Bucksport area; and

Whereas, Terry Cooper is an avid proponent for the development and funding of recreation activities and facilities for county residents as well as police, fire, and rescue services, and he has actively supported the development of the South Strand Government Complex, a county building housing frequently used offices to serve the South Beach residents; and

Whereas, as President of Cooper Communications, a public relations and advertising agency, and Cooper Publishing, Terry Cooper still finds time to be active in his community as a member of the Board of Directors of the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce, the Murrells Inlet Rotary Club, and the Belin United Methodist Church in Murrells Inlet. He also coaches in the Surfside Beach Recreation Department Baseball Program; and

Whereas, Terry Cooper is a devoted husband to his wife, Elizabeth, and a loving father to his children, Hannah and Ryan; and

Whereas, it is appropriate that the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name a portion of Ocean Boulevard in honor of such a model South Carolinian as Terry Cooper. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name a portion of Ocean Boulevard in Surfside Beach from 17th Avenue North to Melody Lane, in honor of Terry Benjamin Cooper of Horry County, and install appropriate markers or signs on Ocean Boulevard containing the words "The Terry Cooper Boulevard" so that as the public passes they will remember the exemplary service of this model South Carolinian.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
