Attached is a copy of the accomplishments for the past year with the work plan for this coming year. The General Assembly approved $55,000 for each Council of Governments for each year of the biennium. Your government is asked to release its share (based on population) to the Council of Governments. A copy of the region's list of population and funds is attached as is a copy of Section 16.27 of House Bill 168, the 1999 ratified budget bill. . To this end you are asked to place on your next board agenda a resolution to release your share of the economic development monies from the State Budget Office to the Triangle J Council of Governments. You are reminded that just as with past years' economic development funds, money not released reverts to the general fund; it is not made available directly to local governments. The resolution to release funds is enclosed. When approved, please return the o ' in , signed, sealed and fully executed document to the Council of Governments at the earliest possible date. Retain a copy for your files. Should you wish a representative of the Council of Governments to attend the board meeting to provide additional information or respond to questions, please contact me at 558-9395. Your cooperation and continued support are gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. Sincerely, Charles Krautler, President Triangle J Council of Governments Enclosures CC: Manager and Delegate C? C`
