The bill, S. 1068, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Alfreda Walters Tindal for her over four decades of exemplary public service in Richland County. Ms. Tindal began her career in the Public Works Road Maintenance Department in 1980 and retired in 2025 as the Enhanced 9-1-1 address coordinator specialist. Throughout her career, she played a pivotal role in improving public safety and infrastructure by accurately naming roads and assigning addresses, which significantly enhanced emergency response operations. Notably, she led the naming of 218 previously unnamed dirt roads, particularly in the predominantly Black community of Lower Richland, and was instrumental in the implementation of the Enhanced 9-1-1 system in 1987.

The resolution highlights Ms. Tindal's groundbreaking achievements, including becoming the first Black female supervisor in the Public Works Department and the first Black female chairperson of the Richland County Grievance Board. Her contributions have been recognized through various honors, and she has left a lasting legacy through her policies and educational materials related to addressing and road naming. The resolution concludes with a commitment from the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Ms. Tindal and present her with a copy of the resolution.
