RCRC Board Members Attend Annual NACo Conference

The 2017 National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference concluded on Monday, with a number of members of the RCRC Board of Directors attending the four day series of meetings in Columbus, Ohio.  

Of important note were conversations in the Public Lands Committee, of which Mariposa County Supervisor Kevin Cann serves as Vice Chair.  Mono County Supervisor Stacy Corliss saw the adoption of her policy resolution on funding for Public Lands Infrastructure to address the needs of tourist-based infrastructure needs in National Forest/Parks lands.  Other important items that were discussed included funding for the Federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program and the upcoming “PILT Fly-In” in Washington, D.C. in early September.  The final action was the election of Douglas County Commissioner Mary Ann Borgeson of Nebraska to serve as NACo 2nd Vice President.  Commissioner Borgeson will serve with NACo 1St Vice President Greg Cox, a San Diego County supervisor.  Next year’s Annual Conference will be held in Nashville, Tennessee on July 13 – 16, 2018.
