Background and 2013 -14 Adopted Timeline <br />Every two years, in the months preceding a long session of the General Assembly, the North <br />Carolina Association of County Commissioners engages in a process to determine the legislative <br />goals it should seek in the best interest of the counties. The process is thorough, deliberative, <br />and time intensive. It is designed to allow for input from as many county commissioners and <br />other county officials as possible. By maximizing participation from so many of the <br />organization's members, it is possible to reach agreement on goals that are important to all <br />members of this diverse organization. <br />The NCACC goals- setting process begins in July of each even - numbered year and consists of <br />five stages. These stages are described in detail in this handbook. <br />Below is the recommended timeline for the 2013 -14 legislative goals process: <br />Legislative Goals Process Timeline <br />IWhen <br />What <br />September 17"' <br />Submission of county goal proposals deadline <br />September - October <br />Steering committees review goals <br />November <br />Legislative Goals Committee reviews steering committee recommendations, <br />approves package of goals for Board of Directors <br />December <br />Board of Directors finalizes package to be presented to full membership <br />January 24 -25, 2013 <br />Membership adopts goals at Legislative Goals Conference <br />6 <br />Attachment number 4 <br />G -3 Page 241 <br />
