Thompson, Executive Director Date: July 13, 2012 Subject: NCACC Solicitation of County Legislative Goals Proposals for 2013 -14 The time is here for us to begin our legislative goals development process for the 2013 -14 biennium. We are inviting counties to submit their legislative proposals to the Association. Our goals development process is open, inclusive and deliberative. It is designed to give all 100 counties a voice in developing our legislative agenda. This Association is the only organization in the state that truly represents all the citizens of North Carolina. For each biennial session of the General Assembly, counties submit legislative proposals, and commissioners from across the state review and recommend them to our members. Legislators know and appreciate that all 100 counties have the opportunity to be involved in our process. Receipt of your county's proposals is instrumental to our process. Attached is a form for submittal of 2013 -14 legislative goals proposals, a legislative goals handbook that delineates NCACC's legislative goals process, and a list of the progress made on the 2011 -12 legislative goals. Due to your efforts, many of our goals were achieved. Reviewing these issues may be helpful in contemplating new goals or revisiting ones that need further action. When submitting your goals, please keep in mind the following: • Complete the accompanying goal proposal form. • Goals may be submitted in any of the following formats: a resolution approved by the Board of Commissioners, a letter from the Chairman of the Board on behalf of the entire board, or by letter from an affiliate organization. • Proposed goals received on or before Sept. 17 will be referred to the appropriate steering committee for review and consideration. • Proposed goals received after Sept. 17 will be sent directly to the Legislative Goals Committee for review. As referenced above, this packet includes the 2012 NCACC Legislative Goals Handbook. This handbook contains information about the rules, procedures and guidelines for the legislative goals adoption process. Please note the following schedule for your planning purposes.
