The Housing, Land Use and Transportation (HLT) Policy Committee is responsible for reviewing state and federal legislative proposals, state budget items, ballot measures, and regulatory proposals focused on housing, land use, transportation, and tribal and intergovernmental relations. Major areas of policy development and review include, transportation/infrastructure planning and funding, public works contract administration, general plan/planning procedures, growth strategies and regional government decision-making proposals, affordable housing policies, the California Environmental Quality Act, and federal and state transportation programs. Tribal and intergovernmental relations also fall under the purview of this committee, including policy development related to Indian Gaming, protection of tribal sacred sites, mitigation of off-reservation casino impacts, and other collaborative opportunities for government-to-government relations between counties and tribal governments.
