\ r } 2 with their broad support, guide and strengthen NCACC representatives and staff as they converse with individual legislators and committees on legislative matters. NCACC began the process to develop its 2013-14 Legislative Goals Package in July 2012. As noted in Attachment 1, North Carolina counties have been asked to submit proposed legislative goals for consideration for inclusion in the package, with a submittal deadline of September 17, 2012. The County's Legislative Issues Work Group (LIWG), including Commissioners Barry Jacobs and Earl McKee, County Attorney John Roberts, and County Manager's Office staff, has recently met and developed a draft resolution for Board consideration that outlines several proposed legislative goals for inclusion in NCACC's 2013-14 package. The LIWG's draft resolution is provided at Attachment 2 (Pages 30-32). The Board will likely want to discuss the draft resolution and possibly add to, delete from, and/or revise the language of the proposed goals included in the draft. In an effort to assist the Board in considering possible goals to forward to NCACC, a copy of the Orange County's 2012 Resolution Regarding Legislative Matters (Statewide Matters) and the 2012 Areas of Support and Items of Interest documents are provided for reference purposes at Attachment 3. This Resolution and two other documents were approved by the Board on April 3, 2012 for the 2012 General Assembly Session. A copy of the NCACC's 2011-12 Legislative Goals document is also provided for reference at Attachment 4, and the Board's September 2, 2010 resolution providing input on those goals is provided at Attachment 5. These documents may also be worthy of review and may provide some insight on potential goals to propose to NCACC for 2013-14. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with considering and approving a resolution detailing Orange County's Recommendations Regarding Goals for Inclusion in the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' (NCACC) 2013-14 Legislative Goals Package. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1) Discuss potential goals for the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' (NCACC) 2013-14 Legislative Goals Package; 2) Discuss and consider the LIWG's draft Resolution Detailing Orange County's Recommendations Regarding Goals for Inclusion in the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' (NCACC) 2013-14 Legislative Goals Package(Attachment 2); 3) Add to, delete from, and/or revise the language of the proposed goals included in the draft resolution; 4) Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as presented or amended; and 5) Direct the Clerk to the Board to forward the approved resolution, the NCACC Legislative Goals Proposal Form, and any other related materials to NCACC by the September 17, 2012 deadline.
