Primary Function
Sets forth initiatives to have an LGA representative at each of the five county commissioner/supervisor and other monthly meetings. Develops Focus/Position Papers that represent the view of members across the two-state, five-county Lake area. Assists property owners by addressing problems of a lake-wide nature related to violations of county ordinances such as: zoning issues, noise problems, use of property, fire hazards, etc. Alerts LGA Board of any activity deemed to impact the well being of Lake Gaston residents. Facilitates voter education by holding “Meet the Candidate” Forums prior to primary and general elections, and encourages voter registration through informational articles in quarterly LGA Bulletins.
The Government Relations Committee is a non-partisan activity that focuses on monitoring and interacting with our local and, to some extent, state governments. Our common goal is to represent the interests of our membership on matters that affect the Lake Gaston area.
You can help by joining us at our monthly meetings or by volunteering a small amount of your time. For example, members can attend a local county Commissioner/Supervisors meeting and witness your government in action. It only takes an evening a month or less (we can switch off with other members) and can be very interesting.
