O National Association of Counties MEMORANDUM TO: Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee State Association Executive Directors Other interested parties FROM: Diane S. Shea, associate legislative director Environment, Energy and Land Use DATE: July 27, 1998 RE: Monthly Legislative & Regulatory Briefing COMMITTEE BUSINESS It was great to see so many of you at the NACo Annual Conference in Portland last week; I hope you found the meetings informative and interesting. The Steering Committee reaffirmed two Interim Resolutions from the Legislative Conference last March (making them permanent), and revised and consolidated the ozone and particulate matter resolution into a single resolution. The new and revised resolutions will be included in the 1998-99 edition of American County Platform, scheduled to be printed this fall. NACo's -new President appointed a new chair of our Steering Co=.ittee County Clerk Ron Houseman from Taney County, Missouri. Ron has served as vice-chair of the Steering Committee for many years. I know that you join me in welcoming him as the new chair of the Steering Committee. The new list of Steering Committee members will be mailed as soon as it is finalized next month. If you plan to remain on the Committee, please make sure that your state association of counties/commissioners sent to NACo's Legislative Department a nomination form for you. They were due at NACo by the end of last month, but additions will be accepted. Congress has approximately six weeks of legislative time remaining before the scheduled end of the session in early October, not including a recess next month. Not much action is expected on any environmental or energy bills other than the budget appropriations 440FirstStreet. /Wbills, which are attracting "riders" on related non-budget issues.
