What is the role of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) in developing the HCP?
The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is created to provide periodic input and critical review of the HCP as it is being prepared, and to evaluate the HCP once it is completed in draft form. The CAC is created in conformance with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code 83.015-83.016. The recommendations of the CAC are advisory only, but it will have an essential role as a forum for critical review of the HCP. As the District prepares the HCP with the help of a consultant team and other participants over the next two years, it will ask the CAC to provide feedback and advice at various times during the process.
