 Records Management Policy Model 2 (for Ordinance, Order, or Resolution) - Texas State Library
As written, the model is designed for local governments, expected to be the great majority of those in the state, that contemplate having their records management programs administered on a part-time basis by officials who have other duties in addition to those of records management officers.
Governing bodies of small local governments may have the time to take an active and direct role in the development of such policies and procedures and, in effect, would serve as a body similar to the records management committee contemplated in this provision.
In larger governments, however, press of other business is usually such that the governing body will wish to delegate the task of assisting the records management officer in developing policies and procedures for the program and in overseeing aspects of its operation to a committee.

 Review of the Local Government Act - Green Party
It is good to see the purposes and principles proposed for this reform moving away from that and towards seeing local government as the way in which citizens collectively provide for those aspects of their social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing they can't provide individually.
In considering the legislation the Greens will be looking particularly for local government to be given the mandate, powers, funding mechanisms and encouragement to be a facilitator of local sustainable development because we believe that a sustainable economy must be driven from the bottom up.
Some parts of local government reform are already before the House - the Local Electoral Act was passed earlier this year, a bill on remuneration and the purpose of LATES is before our committee and a bill on funding powers is about to be introduced.

All existing local government acts were consolidated by the Local Government Extension Act, 1906 which applied the provisions of the Local Government (Shires) Act, 1905 to municipalities, and delegated to local authorities extensive powers in relation to works and services of a local character as well as a greater measure of financial independence.

The Local Government Act 1972 was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, that reformed local government in England and Wales, on April 1, 1974.
For example, the area that was to become the seven boroughs of the metropolitan county of West Midlands, Local Government was split between four administrative counties (Herefordshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire), and eight county boroughs (Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Solihull, Walsall, Warley, West Bromwich, and Wolverhampton).
Despite assurances that the Act was not attempting to amend historic loyalties, it nonetheless used the term county instead of administrative county and redefined the ceremonial counties used for purposes such as Lieutenancy to these.

 THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OMNIBUS ACT OF 2000
Each year local officials discover problems with the state statutes that affect counties, cities, special districts, and redevelopment agencies, as well as the laws on land use planning and development.
The Senate Local Government Committee responds by combining several of these minor topics into an annual "omnibus bill." For example, the Committee’s 1999 omnibus bill was SB 275 which contained 20 noncontroversial statutory changes, saving over $274,000 in legislative costs (Chapter 550, Statutes of 1999).
Local officials must return subdivision fees and deposits when they revert property to acreage but the law does not specify who is entitled to the money (Government Code §66499.19).
