CSAC leaders, along with over 130 other California county officials, were in Washington, D.C. earlier this week for the National Association of Counties’ (NACo) Legislative Conference. The event is held on an annual basis and brings together over 2,000 elected and appointed officials from across the country to focus on key federal policy issues facing county government.
Representing CSAC on Capitol Hill was the full slate of elected officers, as well as several key members of the association’s staff.
Mariposa County will be the site of the 2020 NACo Western Interstate Region (WIR) Annual Conference, the WIR Board unanimously voted earlier this week. The conference, which attracts hundreds of county officials from throughout the West, will be held in May at Tenaya Lodge outside Yosemite National Park.
CSAC and the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) are partnering with Mariposa County on hosting and developing the conference in conjunction with the national association. Holding the conference in Mariposa County in 2020 has special meaning since Mariposa County Supervisor Kevin Cann will be President of WIR next year.
The Employee Relations policy area falls under the jurisdiction of the Government Finance and Operations (GFO) Policy Committee and is responsible for all issues related to public employment and retirement. Specific issues areas are pension benefits and pension system administration; labor relations; issues regarding county negotiations with employees; workers’ compensation; and other risk management issues facing public employers.
