Service on a policy committee is voluntary and open to all county commissioners and county professional staff. Committees operate on a consensus basis, working towards legislative positions that represent broad support among counties. County staff may serve as technical support, but only commissioners may vote. The standing committees are individually tasked to develop and recommend an annual statewide legislative platform for counties based on each of the issue areas under their jurisdiction. Land use, environmental resources, property rights, solid waste, community development, and affordable housing.
Select committees are open to county commissioners and county professional staff.
Policy committees generally meet twice a year a meeting in the fall and a wrap-up meeting at the legislative conference in late November. During the Association s Annual Legislative Conference, the general membership approves the legislative program and priorities for the ensuing legislative session. Inc. All rights reserved.
