TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR ARTHUR L. CUMMINGS, BEAUFORT COUNTY BUILDING CODES DIRECTOR, UPON HIS RETIREMENT, TO THANK HIM FOR THIRTY-THREE YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH FULFILLMENT AND SUCCESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, having served his county and State with excellence for thirty-three years, Arthur L. Cummings will soon be retiring from his post as Beaufort County Building Codes Director; and

Whereas, in preparation for his long career, Mr. Cummings was educated at Technical College of the Lowcountry, where he earned a degree in industrial technology; Denmark Technical College; the University of South Carolina; and Trinity School of the Bible in Indiana; and

Whereas, since 1978, he has served with distinction as the Beaufort County Building Codes Director. Governor Carroll Campbell appointed him in 1992 to a seat on the South Carolina Building Codes Council, which he has served as secretary; and

Whereas, Mr. Cummings, a certified building official for Beaufort County, obtained International Accreditation Service (IAS) Building Department Accreditation in 2010 for the Beaufort County Inspection and Code Enforcement Department. He rightly is proud that Beaufort County's building-inspection department was the first such in South Carolina to win this recognition; and

Whereas, he is also a certified flood plain manager, certified green professional, and licensed residential state building contractor; and

Whereas, a man honored and respected by his peers, he has served as president of the Coastal Code Enforcement Association and is a member of the Building Official Association of South Carolina Board of Directors. In addition, he served as chairman of the Code Interpretation Committee for the One and Family Dwelling Code Southern Building Code Congress; and

Whereas, besides his work with Beaufort County, Arthur L. Cummings has served as pastor of Bethel Deliverance Temple since 1985. He has been the proud husband of wife Rosa for forty-one years and is the proud father of Arthur, Jr., Jason, and Christine, as well as delighted grandfather of nine; and

Whereas, having made his mark, Mr. Cummings will be remembered with affection and gratitude by colleagues and legislative friends for years to come. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor Arthur L. Cummings, Beaufort County Building Codes Director, upon his retirement, thank him for thirty-three years of dedicated service, and wish him much fulfillment and success in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Arthur L. Cummings.
