Association of County Commissioners will be held on January 9-10, 1997 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center off of 1-40 in Research Triangle Park. The purpose of the conference is to bring together county officials from across the state to vote on pro- posed legislative goals for the 1997 and 1998 sessions of the General Assembly. A package of proposed goals will be mailed out to county officials about four weeks prior to the Conference, along with a copy of the revised voting procedures. Voting delegates will be selected by each county to vote on the goals. IMPORTANT: If you are not a voting delegate, you are still urged to attend the conference and participate in discussion. PRE-VOTING DISCUSSION PERIOD A two-hour non-voting discussion period has been set aside from 10:00 a.m. until noon on January 9. The intent of this session is to allow county officials, including new commissioners, to ask questions in an open, non-voting atmosphere. Those with specific questions or concerns should plan to arrive by 10:00 a.m. The actual voting conference, which begins after lunch, will also have time built in for discussion and questions, but new commissioners found this non-voting period extremely helpful two years ago.
