Loading...
Summary
The Economic Development Committee voted to recommend that it be designated by the Board of Supervisors to coordinate the county's legislative initiatives and objectives, with staff to discuss the matter with the board chair.
The Economic Development Committee voted to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that the committee serve as the county’s coordinating body for legislative initiatives and objectives. Mister Weakley moved the recommendation and described the practical benefits, saying many people working on legislative items already sit on the EDC.
Committee members said designating the EDC would allow early coordination in the summer prior to the General Assembly session and help align economic-development, paramedicine and other county priorities. The motion passed on a verbal vote; the chair said he would discuss the recommendation with the board chair and present it to the Board of Supervisors.
Next steps: staff will consult with the board chair about formal designation and the committee will provide a list of suggested priorities and timelines for legislative outreach.
