(Requires RealOne Player Version 6.0 or later.)

The BCCP Citizens Advisory Committee (or CAC) serves the Coordinating Committee by providing review and oversight of implementation of the permit terms and conditions, by studying and making recommendations on issues of special concern to the Committee, and by providing a forum for public input.

The Citizens Advisory Committee is comprised of eleven representatives from the local community representing such diverse interests as the business community, landowners, recreational/user groups, conservation organizations, and representatives from the City of Austin’s Boards and Commissions. CAC members are appointed by the Coordinating Committee, and serve 2 year terms.

The Citizens Advisory Committee routinely meets on a quarterly basis, though any Committee Member may call for additional meetings. For information about the next scheduled Citizens Advisory Committee meeting, or to review the last meeting agenda, please contact BCCP Cordinating Committee Secretary William Conrad.

In addition to the Citizens Advisory Committee, a Scientific Advisory Committee also serves the Coordinating Committee by studying and making recommendations on issues of special concern to the Committee, especially with regard to the study and management of the species and habitats found in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.

For more information about the Citizens Advisory Committee, please contact Travis County staff.
