USDA and our Department of the Environment meet informally at least annually and set priorities for the year. CDBG usually attends as well.

Regulatory agency staff provide insights on the severity of problems, the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the proposed solutions, and the timing of the permit process.

The group responds by letter to the community with comments regarding their proposed financial structure; their strategy selected to address the need (engineering design); and their proposed beneficiaries.
