A meeting to form the Federation’s Natural Resources Task Force to deal with possible state consolidation of services and agencies is this Saturday.
That meeting will follow the Natural Resources Policy Committee meeting at about 2 p.m., this Saturday, June 13, in the Grand 1 Ballroom at the SeaTac Doubletree Hotel.
At issue is a proviso in the 2009-2011 state budget (Section 907 of HB 1244) that directs the governor to convene a work group to “identify consolidation opportunities to improve service delivery and reduce costs” in natural resources agencies. A report is due Sept. 1.
Policy Committee delegates and alternates from Natural Resources agencies (or one like Health that might have some ties to natural resources) are encouraged to attend.
The Natural Resources agencies include the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Ecology, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Recreation and Conservation Office.
