LOC Policy Committees Begin Legislative Priority Development Process
This month, LOC policy committees begin convening to develop the League’s 2027-28 legislative priorities and provide policy guidance. These meetings are open to all members and the general public. Members with specific policy ideas for committees to consider are encouraged to reach out to the appropriate staff contact.
The policy committees give advice and make recommendations to the LOC Board of Directors as part of the board’s policy development process. Composed of city officials, the committees are charged with analyzing policy and technical issues and recommending positions and strategies for the League. In addition, LOC staff rely on the input and expertise of committee members as they advocate for city interests in the legislature and with state and federal agencies.
Policy committees will also support updates to the Oregon Municipal Policy (OMP) this year during meetings scheduled in late spring/early summer. Member cities will have the opportunity to engage on updates to the OMP through the President’s Regional Meetings and a forthcoming survey.
LOC members can learn more about policy committees and view their respective meeting schedules at this link.
