10 <br /> Background and 2013-14 Adopted Timeline <br /> Every two years, in the months preceding a long session of the General Assembly, the North <br /> Carolina Association of County Commissioners engages in a process to determine the legislative <br /> goals it should seek in the best interest of the counties. The process is thorough, deliberative, <br /> and time intensive. It is designed to allow for input from as many county commissioners and <br /> other county officials as possible. By participation from so many of the <br /> organization's members, it is possible to reach agreement on goals that are important to all <br /> members of this diverse organization. <br /> The NCACC goals-setting process begins in July of each even-numbered year and consists of <br /> five stages. These stages are described in detail in this handbook. <br /> Below is the recommended timeline for the 2013-14 legislative goals process: <br /> Legislative Goals Process Timeline <br /> When Jjwhat <br /> September 17'b —]Submission of county goal proposals deadline <br /> September-October _]ISteering committees review goals <br /> November Legislative Goals Committee reviews steering committee recommendations, <br /> approves package of goals for Board of Directors <br /> 1December Board of Directors finalizes package to be presented to fun membership <br /> jJanuary 24-25,2013 IMembership adopts goals at Legislative Goals Conference <br /> 6 <br />
