Agenda Packets and Approved Meeting Minutes

Additional Information

The General Forum serves as the Centre Region COG's governing body. Each January, the General Forum shall conduct an organizational meeting to select Officers and designate regular meeting dates. The General Forum is responsible for considering and implementing the programs and functions agreed upon by the participating municipalities.

Each municipality appoints one elected official to each of the COG Committees for which their community is a participating member of – Executive, Finance, Public Safety, Parks Capital, and Land Use, Sustainability, & Infrastructure Committee (LUSI).

The COG also administers these current Special and Ad Hoc Committees:

Parks and Recreation Governance Special Committee
Parks and Library Ad Hoc Committee

Committee recommendations are presented in the form of a motion that provides a starting point for the General Forum’s discussions. If the issue is particularly “politically” charged, the Committee may refer the issue to the individual municipal Boards/Councils for comment. The Committee considers municipal responses in preparing its recommendation.

The mission of the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority is to serve Centre Region residents of all ages throughout the year with a variety of recreation opportunities and access to facilities to enrich their lives through participation in programs, facility use, provision of leadership resources and technical assistance, and serving the participating municipalities' residents and groups.
