N O R T H C A R O L I N A ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Sample Board Agenda Memo Item: Appointment of Legislative Liaison to the NCACC The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners is requesting that all 100 counties appoint one county commissioner as its Legislative Liaison. Each county's Legislative Liaison will serve as a conduit of information between the Association (via District 12 Director Pearl Burris-Floyd of Gaston County) and your Board of Commissioners. Responsibilities will include: • Ensuring other county commissioners are aware of legislative developments concerning issues of importance to counties • Placing items of statewide importance on county Board of Commissioners agendas to generate discussion and elevate public awareness • Providing a local voice that local media can rely upon for information on legislative issues • Setting up or making sure regular meetings with local legislators are taking place • Providing feedback to your county's Association District Director on what local legislators, fellow Board members, other officials and the general public are saying about bills and issues, and what issues are elevated in your county The NCACC will provide counties with regular agenda items and will provide Legislative Liaisons with talking points and educational materials that can be used to boost media and public awareness of legislation that impacts counties. The Legislative Liaisons initiative is one part of the NCACC's strategic goal to enhance the ability of county officials to represent counties and the NCACC on local and statewide issues. P.O.
