Attached for public review and comment are three documents. 

1. DRAFT -  2016 BCAG Public Participation Plan.  As part of BCAG’s Overall Work Program review with our state and federal partners, it was recommended to update legislation references from SAFETEA-LU to MAP 21 or as appropriate.  In addition, this update to the PPP emphasizes greater use of current social internet media to engage and inform the public in BCAG’s planning and programming processes.

   
   

2. DRAFT - Policy for Government-to-Government Consultation with Federally Recognized Native American Tribal Governments.  This was another  recommendation at our annual Overall Work Program review meeting to develop a stand-alone document.
