Minnesota Local Government Roundtable

 
Local Government Roundtable (LGR) Advisory Committee

The LGR Advisory Committee includes 30 members with three co-chairs.  Ten members appointed from each of the three participating local government entities.   Each local government entity will select its ten members and designate an advisory committee co-chair from among the ten appointments.

Each co-chair will also serve as chair of one of the three policy sub-committees.  Policy sub-committee will have a balance of local government representation on each committee (3 County, 3 WD, 3 SWCD members plus the chair).  Roundtable members are ex-officio members of the advisory committee and any subcommittee.

Each of the groups will be assigned a policy question to explore and send back written recommendations to the LGR by January 15, 2011.  The three policy issues agreed upon for examination by the LGR are:

1.  Watershed and Basin Water Management. (SWCD Chair)
2.  Comprehensive Water Planning & Management -- structure and process. (WD Chair)
3.  State Funding Process for Local Water Plan Implementation.  (County Chair) 
LGR will review recommendations from each sub-committee and make a consensus recommendation to all three local units of governments for final action by February 15, 2011. 

In addition, the LGR will review Clean Water Council Recommendations for FY 2011-12 and comment where appropriate.
