Policy Committee and Technical Advisory Committee
The development of the Maxwell AFB JLUS was guided by two committees,
comprising community leaders, Maxwell AFB personnel, federal and state
agencies, resource agencies, local governments, and other stakeholders. The
two committees were the Policy Committee (PC) and the Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC).
JLUS Policy Committee (PC). The PC consisted of elected officials from
participating jurisdictions, Maxwell AFB and Gunter Annex leadership, and
representatives from other interested and affected agencies. The PC was
responsible for the direction of the JLUS, preparation and approval of the
study design, approval of policy recommendations, and approval of draft
and final JLUS documents.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC was responsible for
identifying and studying technical issues, providing feedback on report
development, and assisting in the development and evaluation of
implementation strategies and tools. Membership included area planners,
military base planners, business and development community
representatives, and other subject matter experts as needed to assist in the
development and evaluation of implementation strategies and tools. Items
discussed by the TAC were brought before the PC for consideration and
action.
Public Outreach Materials
JLUS Fact Sheet / Compatibility Factors
Brochure. At the beginning of the JLUS
process, a Fact Sheet (JLUS Update #1) was
developed describing the JLUS program,
objectives, methods for public input, and
proposed the Maxwell AFB JLUS Study Area.
This Fact Sheet was made available at the
meetings for review by interested members
of the public and on the project website.
Strategy Tools Brochure. JLUS strategies
incorporate a variety of actions that local
governments, military installations, agencies,
and other stakeholders can take to promote compatible land use planning.
This brochure provided an overview of strategy types that can be applied to
address study area compatibility issues.
Public Workshops
A series of public workshops were held throughout the development of the
JLUS. These workshops provided an opportunity for the exchange of
information with the greater community, assisted in identifying issues to be
addressed, and provided an opportunity for input on proposed strategies.
Each workshop included a traditional presentation and a facilitated exercise
providing a “hands on,” interactive opportunity for the public to participate
in the JLUS development.
