Agenda Text
The Board is requested to discuss and vote on any proposed Federal Legislative Goals and forward them to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for inclusion in its legislative process.
Every biennium, the NCACC solicits input and proposals from our counties concerning federal issues that impact North Carolina counties. To help ensure deliberation on federal goals, the process is designed to provide opportunities for input and discussion from counties on proposed federal goals.
Goal proposals should include contact information, goal language and background. Background information should address the need for the proposal and provide historical context if available or any other relevant information.
The NCACC Board of Directors will meet in October to review and approve a package of federal goals. The package of federal goals approved by the Board of Directors will go before the voting body at the Legislative Goals Conference in Raleigh to be held Nov. 14-15.
Typically, discussion items are presented at the Board’s work session, but the deadline to submit goals is Oct 4 which falls before the next work session. Staff will receive from the Board any potential federal items that members want to submit and will forward approved items and any background information to NCACC by the deadline.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Durham County Strategic Goal: High Preforming Organization.
Resource Persons: Deborah Craig-Ray, Chief Communications Officer
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board discuss and vote on potential Federal Legislative Goals and instruct staff to submit to NCACC by the October 4, 2024, deadline.
