Staff Summary

                     NACo annually allows for members to submit policy resolutions and platform changes for consideration at the NACo Annual Conference. The NACo resolutions process provides members with the ability to participate in national policy decisions affecting county governments.

                     In 2023, staff worked with Members on the submission of three resolutions related railway safety, deflection initiative funding, and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).

                     In preparation for the conference this year, staff is working with Members to submit amended resolutions related to deflection initiative funding, and railway safety.

                     Staff will review the NACo Policy Resolution process, the draft policy resolutions, and look for Committee direction to proceed with submissions.
