How does the LCCMR decide what to recommend?
The LCCMR has a competitive, multi-step proposal and selection process. Each year a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued for selected funding priorities based upon an adopted 6-year strategic plan and ongoing information gathering activities, including expert-led issue seminars and visits to natural resource sites around the state. All proposals received in response to the RFP are reviewed, evaluated, and ranked by LCCMR members. A selection of high ranking proposals are chosen for further consideration and invited to present before the Commission. Ultimately, a subset of proposals is chosen to recommend to the legislature for funding based on consistency with funding priorities and total dollars available.
