The LIWG developed a 37 draft resolution for Board consideration that outlines several proposed legislative goals for 38 inclusion in NCACC's 2015 -16 package. The LIWG's draft resolution is provided in Attachment 39 2. The Board will likely want to discuss the draft resolution and possibly add to, delete from, 40 and /or revise the language of the proposed goals included in the draft. 41 42 In an effort to assist the Board in considering possible goals to forward to NCACC, a copy of 43 Orange County's 2014 Resolution Regarding Legislative Matters (Statewide Matters) is 44 provided for reference purposes at Attachment 3. This Resolution was approved by the Board 45 on April 15, 2014 for the 2014 General Assembly Session. 46 47 A copy of NCACC's 2013 -14 Legislative Goals document is also provided for reference in 48 Attachment 4. These documents may provide some insight on potential goals to propose to 49 NCACC for 2015 -16. 50
