The Concord City Council voted to withdraw its COG <br />membership effective July 1, 2010. <br />During the work session, the Board learned that the COG is creating a Blue <br />Ribbon Committee to determine ways in which the organization can function <br />more efficiently and more regionally. It was also noted that the County would <br />like to have at least one seat on this Committee in order to specially address <br />the County's concerns. Further, action was taken to revisit this topic during <br />the Board's December work session. <br />However, if the Board chooses to remain a member of the COG for FY 09/10, <br />a budget amendment is needed to move the funds out of contingency; <br />therefore, a budget amendment was prepared for consideration. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to adopt budget amendment. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />F-3 Page 131 of 627 <br />
