The Commission’s technical assistance service, using institutional knowledge and established links with other agencies, answers hundreds of requests for information a year. Questions cover a wide range of topics, including land use law, budgeting, recent legislative actions, and court rulings. Some questions require staff research while others can be answered fairly quickly based on previous requests. This service saves local officials time and money while providing the information they need to govern effectively.
