This letter requested two actions by the BOCC on behalf of the AGCCT: 1. Reconvene the Grant County Planned Growth Committee ("PGC"'). 2. Initiate an update to the Grant County Coordinated Water System Plan ("CWSP11). Development Services staff, Director Young and Deputy Director Anderson -Cook attended the AGCCT Meeting on February 29, 2024, and presented on both of these subjects. As part of this report, a draft copy of the Planned Growth Committee Bylaws and the Draft Request for Qualifications regarding the update to the county's Coordinated Water Systems Plan was given to AGCCT administrative staff to distribute to the AGCCT for review and comment. To date, the county has not received any comments and/or feedback on these draft documents and initiatives, which are action item requests from the AGCCT to the BOCC. Furthermore, the AGCCT has not met since the February meeting, to our knowledge, and both of these initiatives need to be addressed by the AGCCT. Development Services continues to move forward on the updating of the CWSP, of which the RFQ was finalized and published for bid proposals on June 4, 2024. This will require the Water Utility Coordinating Committee (WUCC)to be reconvened, which should be a function of the AGCCT, in order to participate in this process. Development Services staff will also be commencing its major Danny E. Stone Rob Jones Cindy Carter District 1 District 2 District 3 "TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS, SERVING TOGETHER WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES, WHILE FOSTERING A RESPECTFUL AND SUCCESSFUL WORK ENVIRONMENT." comprehensive plan update in January 2025 through December 2026, which encompasses the Countywide Planning Policies, UGAs, Annexations, Comprehensive Plan, and UDC amendments. The PGC must be reconvened so that AGCCT participation is provided for and received for this important initiative. The Grant County Board of County Commissioners is therefore requesting that the AGCCT reconvene both of these organizations by January 2025 so that Development Services can continue with these updates, on schedule. Both of these initiatives are supported by the BOCC, however, both organizations must consist of members from your organization, which must be facilitated by the AGCCT. We have included the PGC draft bylaws as a guiding document for your review. Sincerely, BOARD OF GRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS -La a.) st��- Cindy Carter, Chair Danny Stone,Vice-Chair Rob Jo es, ember
