Update on 2030 Plan Progress and Disclosure Ordinance

The 2030 Plan is still under review in the Planning and Development Committee of the County Board but almost completed. As soon as dates for public review and comment are set, we will post those. Map changes necessitated by the population reduction will not be undertaken until public review is completed, so that any individual concern that can be resolved with a map change can be addressed. So, do not let the fact that this has gone on for so long discourage you. If you have an issue with the plan and the map please attend the public review and make yourself heard. It may seem like we are not making progress at times, but in the long view, some good things have been accomplished. Don't underestimate the power of public input. The next P&D meeting is January 21, 2010 at 8:30 am.

The ALAW Disclosure Ordinance is still awaiting an opinion from the States Attorney's office. But several candidates for County Board in the Feb 2. primary have voluntarily filed disclosure statements with ALAW. The view these and keep updated on the ALAW Disclosure ordinance go to the ALAW web site through the link on the right or https://sites.google.com/site/landagricultureandwater/
