online survey of ACOG member communities have helped the Association
develop a prioritized list of federal and state legislative issues of
concern to local governments in the region. Annually, the Board
prepares documents describing its legislative and regulatory concerns
to present to Oklahoma State Legislators and Oklahoma's Congressional
Delegation. ACOG member entities that responded to the survey
included: Arcadia, Bethany, Calumet, Canadian County, Crescent,
Edmond, El Reno, Guthrie, Luther, Midwest City, Mustang, Nichols
Hills, Nicoma Park, Norman, Noble, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County,
Spencer, The Village, Tuttle and Yukon. Following are the top federal

has applied to the U.S. Economic Development Administration for
consideration to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS) for the four-county ACOG region. CEDS are designed to
bring together public and private sectors in the creation of an
economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The CEDS should analyze the regional economy and serve
as a guide for establishing regional goals and objectives, developing
and implementing a regional plan of action, and identifying
investment priorities and funding sources. A region must have a
current CEDS in order to apply for investment assistance under EDA's
Public Works or Economic Adjustment Assistance Programs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>If awarded a CEDS planning grant from EDA, ACOG would
issue a Request for Proposals from qualified consultants to develop
the actual plan. The planning grant is expected to be around $150,000
with an approximate 50 percent cash and in-kind match, and can take
up to two years to complete. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The other 10 councils of government in the State of
Oklahoma serve as Economic Development Districts (EDD) for their
regions and have conducted CEDS and other economic development
strategies for their member communities. Preparation of a CEDS is a
preliminary step for ACOG to seek designation as an EDD. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the greater metropolitan area have updated a regional map that
highlights the best route choices for motorists when inclement winter
weather strikes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The map showcases the roadways that individual
communities consider their highest priorities during snow and ice
storms. The management of roadways may include the spreading of
abrasives (sanding), anti-icing applications (salt and chemicals) and
snow removal and clearance (plowing). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'>Organized by ACOG and focusing on the Oklahoma City Area
Regional Transportation Study (OCARTS) area, the snow route
identification process involved the interaction of multiple municipal
entities and agencies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The impetus for the map and process came from a regional
desire to improve public safety and avoid accidents. The map is not
absolute. It does not reflect potential shortcomings in
mechanization, manpower, remediation supplies or time. For example,
snowfall can occur so rapidly, that roadway treatment and clearance
may not be able to counter it at an equitable rate. As such, the
routes on the map indicate the roadways that municipalities
realistically intend to first direct resources. It does not guarantee
that the streets will be clear. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>City and county leaders encourage motorists to observe
winter driving rules and to only drive on snow and ice covered roads
when necessary. The snow routes presented are the best routes to take
if and when drivers are out in a severe winter weather event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

nation's people is coming soon. Though the Census takes place every

every person living in the United States, including all 50 states,
Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa. This includes
people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, both citizens and

leaders appointed by the highest-elected official to develop and
implement a locally-based outreach and awareness campaign for the
2010 Census. This team's primary focus is to promote the 2010 Census
in a particular community and to ensure that every resident in that
area is counted. Community leaders are most qualified to understand
the best way to reach all populations that reside in their area. The
team is also best suited to mobilize community resources. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

billion annually of government funding for critical services. Census
data is used to allocate government funding and guides where to build
roads, schools, job training centers and more. An incomplete count
could mean a community does not receive its fair share of funding.
The data process generates thousands of jobs across the country and
ultimately determines how many seats each state will have in Congress

The West Norman Link is Norman's first new city route in more than 16
years. The route provides access to northwest Norman, specifically 36th
Avenue Northwest, Tecumseh Road and 24th Avenue Northwest. Featured
stops include Norman Regional HealthPlex, Embassy Suites Hotel and
Conference Center, University Northpark, Brookhaven Village and many
residential areas along 36th Avenue Northwest. The West Norman Link
"links" to the Main Street route, as it is the first CART
route not to originate on the OU campus. The concept is in an effort to
make new bus routes more frequent and efficient for convenience and
ease. For more information, visit: <a
