Top Regional Legislative Priorities 2010

Goal 1: Support Regional Water Resource Planning

Seek explicit authorization for lead regional organizations to facilitate intergovernmental water resource planning within river basins as the state considers revisions to permitting and allocating water resources. Regional cooperation among local governments, water users, and other stakeholders is considered the most effective way to protect water supplies, maintain water quality and address drought and other problems. Regional Councils are in an ideal position to organize alliances among local governments and other water users.

Goal 2: Support for Rural Transportation Planning Organizations

Support state and federal legislation providing continued funding for rural transportation planning organizations (RPOs), enabling increased participation in transportation planning by local elected officials in the state’s non-urban areas.

Goal 3: Funding for Regional Planning Services

Restore state funding to enable regional councils to provide more assistance to distressed communities.

Goal 4: Aging and Long Term Care Needs for the Older Population

Seek legislative action to ensure adequate funding for services and planning activities for the Home and Community Care Block Grant Program.
