SUMMARY
The Arizona Economic Planning and Development ( EPAD) Board is an advisory
board to the Governor on economic planning and development matters. The
Board is provided s t a f f support by and primarily communicates t o the Governor
through the Office of Economic Planning and Development ( OEPAD).
According to s t a t e law passed i n 1972, t h e Governor s h a l l appoint an advisory
board on economic planning and development c o n s i s t i n g of a t l e a s t 14 and
no more than 20 members, with a t l e a s t one member from each county. Beyond
t h i s , the law does not specify terms of membership, t h e i n t e n t , d u t i e s or
powers of the EPAD Board. However, the Governor and the Executive Director
of OEPAD have s t a t e d t h e i r o b j e c t i v e s f o r the EPAD Board t o include a c t i v e
c i t i z e n involvement on policy- making and u t i l i z a t i o n of the Board as a vehicle
f o r county involvement i n s t a t e government.
The forerunner o f the EPAD Board was the Arizona Development Board which
was created i n 1954. The Arizona Development Board consisted of 14 members,
one from each county, whose r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s included: 1) a t t r a c t i n g t o u r i s t s ,
new r e s i d e n t s and new commercial i n d u s t r i e s t o Arizona, and 2 ) exploring
and p u b l i c i z i n g Arizona's f a c i l i t i e s , resources and p o t e n t i a l i n order t o
a t t r a c t new c a p i t a l and industry. The Arizona Development Board was replaced
by the EPAD Board i n 1968 while the Board's major d u t i e s were vested i n
the newly formed Department of Economic Planning and Development, l a t e r
e s t a b l i s h e d a s OEPAD.
The EPAD Board is e n t i r e l y funded through the S t a t e General Fund a p p r o p r i a t i o n
f o r OEPAD administration.
Our review o f t h e EPAD Board revealed the Board has had only s u p e r f i c i a l
involvement in s i g n i f i c a n t decisions and l e g i s l a t i o n involving economic
planning and development. A s of June 26, 1979, the EPAD Board has been
non- operational for ten months and has met only twice in t h e p a s t 18 months.
Therefore, the Board's purpose, which is t o a c t i v e l y involve c i t i z e n s i n
policy- making and provide advice t o the Governor, has not been f u l f i l l e d .

It is recommended t h a t :
1. The present r o l e , involvement, lack of a t t e n d a n c e , e f f e c t i v e n e s s
and r e s u l t i n g low a c t i v i t y l e v e l of the Economic Planning and
Development Board do not j u s t i f y its continuance beyond July 1 ,
1980. I f it is continued, a defined r o l e f o r s i g n i f i c a n t policy-making
involvement, improved attendance and e f f e c t i v e n e s s should
be obtained by g u b e r n a t o r i a l and OEPAD Executive D i r e c t o r a c t i o n .
( page 23)
2. If continued beyond July 1, 1980, the EPAD Board should i n s t i t u t e
regular communication with at l e a s t the 27 other e n t i t i e s t h a t
perform s i m i l a r functions and coordinate t h e i r e f f o r t s t o avoid
duplication. ( page 27)
3. If continued beyond July 1, 1980, t h e Governor should appoint
EPAD Board members with the i n t e r e s t and a b i l i t y to attend meetings;
Board meetings should be of such magnitude to j u s t i f y member attendance
and the Board should adopt by- laws governing attendance. ( page 33)
4. If continued beyond July 1 , 1980, the EPAD Board and OEPAD should
adopt such methods for publicly announcing Board meetings and
a c t i o n s so c i t i z e n s have the opportunity to express t h e i r concern
on economic planning and development i s s u e s . ( page 40)
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Economic Planning and Development Board is an advisory board to
the Governor on economic planning and development matters. The Board is
provided s t a f f support by and primarily communicates to the Governor through
the Off i c e of Economic Planning and Development ( OEPAD) .
The forerunner of the Economic Planning and Development Board was the Arizona
Development Board which was created i n 1954. The Arizona Development Board
consisted of 14 members, one from each county, s e l e c t e d by the Governor
with the advice and consent of the Senate t o serve five- year terms. Its
purpose included: 1) a t t r a c t i n g t o u r i s t s , new r e s i d e n t s and new commercial
i n d u s t r i e s to Arizona, and 2) exploring and p u b l i c i z i n g Arizona's f a c i l i t i e s ,
resources and p o t e n t i a l i n order to a t t r a c t new c a p i t a l and industry to
t h e S t a t e . The Arizona Development Board's d u t i e s and a u t h o r i t y included
the employment of a s s i s t a n t s , the issuance of reasonable c o n t r a c t s , u t i l i z a t i o n
of communication media, adoption of r u l e s and r e g u l a t i o n s deemed necessary
and the acceptance of g i f t s to the s t a t e .
I n 1968 the Arizona Development Board was replaced by the Economic Planning
and Development Board while the major d u t i e s of the former Board were vested
i n the newly formed Department of Economic Planning and Development. A s
a r e s u l t , the d u t i e s and a u t h o r i t y of the EPAD Board were reduced to appointing
the Department of Economic Planning and Development Director with the consent
of the Governor and providing advice t o t h e D i r e c t o r and the Governor.
The membership of the EPAD Board was increased to 19 members. The f i v e
a d d i t i o n a l members were t o r e p r e s e n t the S t a t e as a whole as opposed to
being county r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s . L e g i s l a t i o n i n 1972, ARS 41- 502, e s t a b l i s h e d
the present form of the EPAD Board. According to ARS 41- 502*, the
Governor s h a l l appoint an advisory board on economic planning and development
c o n s i s t i n g of a t l e a s t 14 and no more than 20members, with at
l e a s t one member from each county. Beyond t h i s , . the law does not specify
terms of membership, the i n t e n t , d u t i e s or powers of the EPAD Board. However,
Governors of Arizona and the Executive Director of OEPAD have s t a t e d t h a t
t h e i r o b j e c t i v e s f o r t h e EPAD Board include a c t i v e c i t i z e n involvement i n

SUNSET FACTORS
I n accordance with ARS 41- 2351 through 41- 2374, nine f a c t o r s were considered
to determine, i n p a r t , whether the Arizona Economic Planning and Development
Board should be continued or terminated.
These f a c t o r s a r e :
1. Objective and purpose i n e s t a b l i s h i n g the Board,
2. The degree t o which the Board has been a b l e t o respond to the needs
of the public and t h e e f f i c i e n c y with which it h a s o p e r a t e d ,
3. The extent t o which the Board has operated within the public i n t e r e s t ,

a r e c o n s i s t e n t with the l e g i s l a t i v e mandate,
5. The extent to which the Board has encouraged input from the public
before promulgating its r u l e s and r e g u l a t i o n s and the extent t o which
it has informed the public as t o its a c t i o n s and t h e i r expected impact
on t h e p u b l i c ,

SUNSET FACTORS
SUNSET FACTOR: OBJECTIVE AND PURPOSE
I N ESTABLISHING THE BOARD
According to ARS 41- 502*, the purpose of the Economic Planning and Development
Board is to provide advice t o the Governor:
" The governor s h a l l appoint an advisory economic planning
and development board which s h a l l be composed of at
l e a s t fourteen and no more than twenty members who s h a l l
serve without compensation. A t l e a s t one member s h a l l
be a bona f i d e r e s i d e n t of each county of t h i s s t a t e . "
( Emphasis added)
I n a 1977 a r t i c l e appearing i n the July/ August/ September i s s u e of Directions,**
the purpose of the Economic Planning and Development Board was described
as:
I f . . . a s s i s t ( i n g ) t h e Governor and Executive Director ( o f
OEPAD) i n shaping r e l e v a n t p o l i c i e s f o r the s t a t e .
The Board provides guidance on budgets, work programs
and p r o j e c t s . The Executive Director welcomes the a c t i v e
involvement of the Advisory Board i n the policy- making
process .... It is the philosophy of the Executive Director
t h a t e f f e c t i v e and r e a l i s t i c p o l i c i e s i n the a r e a of
economic planning and development demand meaningful
c i t i z e n i n p u t , and the Advisory Board provides a s t a t e -
wide mechanism for t h i s public contact." ( Emphasis
added)
The Governor of Arizona i n a speech t o the Board on August 15, 1975, explained
h i s i n t e n t for its operation. The Board minutes s t a t e d :
" Board members, the Governor s a i d , a r e t o see t o it every community has
input i n t o s t a t e government, a s w e l l as t o t h e Governor.
He s a i d h i s door was wide open t o them because they were the voices
of t h e i r communities. He wanted t h e i r ideas and wanted
them t o join the team f o r economic development ...." ( Emphasis

t h e o b j e c t i v e s of t h e Board t o be:
" Objectives o f the Board a r e t o advise the Governor

SUNSET FACTOR: THE DEGREE TO WHICH
THE BOARD HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND
TO THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC AND THE
EFFICIENCY WITH WHICH IT HAS OPERATED
The Board has been l i m i t e d i n its e f f o r t s t o respond t o the needs of the
public by its s u p e r f i c i a l involvement i n s i g n i f i c a n t policy- making decisions
and l e g i s l a t i o n involving economic planning and development. ( For a discussion 4
of t h i s i s s u e , see page 10. )
I n a d d i t i o n , the low attendance by a m a j o r i t y o f Board members and the absence
of any meetings i n t h e t e n months from August 20, 1978 t o June 26, 1979, 4
have a l s o impaired the Board's a b i l i t y t o respond to the needs of the public.
( For a discussion of these i s s u e s , s e e pages 20 and 28. )
However, the Board d i d , i n September of 1977, notably respond t o public
need by organizing s t a t e e f f o r t s t o address the problems created by the
decline i n the p r i c e o f copper and r e s u l t i n g mine- related l a y o f f s . F u r t h e r ,
t h e Board has supported the c r e a t i o n of a naval s t o r e s p l a n t near Winslow
and a s s i s t e d i n n e g o t i a t i o n s regarding t h e p l a n t with the Department of
Agriculture.
The Board appears t o be e f f i c i e n t i n its o p e r a t i o n s s i n c e its expenditures
a r e almost e n t i r e l y f o r per diem and reimbursement of t r a v e l expenses of
Board members and OEPAD s t a f f attending Board meetings.
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO
WHICH THE BOARD HAS OPERATED
WITHIN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
The Board appears t o have taken no a c t i o n s t h a t were i n c o n s i s t e n t with the
public i n t e r e s t . However, the absence of a c t i v i t y on t h e Board's p a r t ,
p a r t i c u l a r l y since August 1978, makes it d i f f i c u l t t o conclude t h a t the
Board is operating i n the public i n t e r e s t .
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO
WHICH RULES AND REGULATIONS
PROMULGATED BY THE BOARD ARE
CONSISTENT WITH LEGISLATIVE
MANDATE
The Economic Planning and Development Board has not promulgated any r u l e s
and r e g u l a t i o n s . Based upon a review of l e g i s l a t i o n ( ARS 41 - 502), it appears
the Board is not required to promulgate r u l e s and r e g u l a t i o n s .
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO
WHICH THE BOARD HAS ENCOURAGED
INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC BEFORE
PROMULGATING ITS RULES AND
REGULATIONS AND THE EXTENT
TO WHICH IT HAS INFORMED THE
PUBLIC AS TO ITS ACTIONS AND
THEIR EXPECTED IMPACT ON THE
PUBLIC
Efforts to encourage public p a r t i c i p a t i o n and t o inform the public of its
a c t i o n s and t h e i r expected impact have s i n c e 1976 been declining t o an inadequate
l e v e l . ( For a discussion of t h i s i s s u e , s e e page 34)
The Board is not required t o promulgate r u l e s and r e g u l a t i o n s . Therefore,
t h i s a s p e c t o f t h e s u n s e t f a c t o r is not a p p l i c a b l e t o t h e Board.
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO WHICH
THE BOARD HAS BEEN ABLE TO INVESTIGATE
AND RESOLVE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE
WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION
T h i s s u n s e t f a c t o r is not a p p l i c a b l e t o the Board. L e g i s l a t i v e mandate
does not i n d i c a t e t h a t the i n v e s t i g a t i o n and r e s o l u t i o n of complaints a r e
within the j u r i s d i c t i o n o f the Economic Planning and Development Board.
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO WHICH
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR ANY OTHER
APPLICABLE AGENCY OF STATE
GOVERNMENT HAS THE AUTHORITY
TO PROSECUTE ACTIONS UNDER
ENABLING LEGISLATION
The enabling l e g i s l a t i o n concerning the Economic Planning and Development
Board does not define any a c t i o n s f o r prosecution by t h e Attorney General
or any o t h e r a p p l i c a b l e agency.
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO WHICH
THE BOARD HAS ADDRESSED DEFICIENCIES
I N ITS ENABLING STATUTES WHICH
PREVENT IT FROM FULFILLING ITS
STATUTORY MANDATE
The Board has n o t proposed or suggested any changes i n its enabling s t a t u t e .
SUNSET FACTOR: THE EXTENT TO WHICH
CHANGES ARE NECESSARY I N THE LAWS OF
THE BOARD TO ADEQUATELY COMPLY WITH
THE FACTORS LISTED I N THIS SUBSECTION
No changes a r e needed in the s t a t u t e regarding the Board to adequately comply
with t h e f a c t o r s of t h i s subsection.
FINDING I
THE ARIZONA ECONOMIC PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD HAS HAD ONLY SUPERFICIAL
INVOLVEMENT I N SIGNIFICANT DECISIONS AND LEGISLATION INVOLVING ECONOMIC
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. AS OF JUNE 26, 1979, THE BOARD HAS BEEN NON- OPERATIONAL
FOR TEN MONTHS AND HAS MET ONLY TWICE I N THE PAST 18 MONTHS. THEREFORE,
THE BOARD PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO ACTIVELY INVOLVE CITIZENS I N POLICY- MAKING
AND PROVIDE ADVICE TO THE GOVERNOR, HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED.
The Economic Planning and Development ( EPAD) Board is not f u l f i l l i n g its
s t a t e d i n t e n t t o a c t i v e l y involve c i t i z e n s i n policy- making and t o advise
the Governor on matters of economic planning and development. The
EPAD Board has considered an average of only four items per year i n t h e
past f i v e years t h a t r e s u l t e d i n its proposing a policy l e v e l recommendation.
This r e p r e s e n t s approximately 11 percent of the items discussed a t Board
meetings each year. Of the 251 p i e c e s o f economic planning and development
l e g i s l a t i o n introduced i n the past f i v e years, the EPAD Board has made recommenda-t
i o n s for or a g a i n s t only two of them. Of the 64 pieces of l e g i s l a t i o n
forwarded t o t h e Governor for a p p r o v a l d u r i n g the same period, the EPAD Board
has not made recommendations f o r o r a g a i n s t any of them. Two notable
attempts to r e g u l a r l y include Board members i n s i g n i f i c a n t decision- making
processes have not been implemented. Meeting frequency h a s d e c l i n e d u n t i l
the Board, as of June 26, 1979, has not met f o r ten months and has met only
twice i n the past 18 months.
L e g i s l a t i v e , Gubernatorial And
Managerial I n t e n t Regarding
Board Operations
P u b l i c a t i o n s , speeches and statements by Governors of Arizona and the Office of
Economic Planning and Development ( OEPAD) o f f i c i a l s have repeatedly s t a t e d
the i n t e n t f o r a c t i v e policy- making involvement by the Economic Planning
and Development Board.
The enabling l e g i s l a t i o n ( ARS 41- 502) contains a b r i e f statement of EPAD
Board d u t i e s :
" The Governor s h a l l appoint an advisory economic planning
and development board...."
The Governor, at the first meeting of h i s newly appointed Board on August 15,
1975, s t a t e d h i s i n t e n t regarding its operations:
" Board members, the Governor s a i d , a r e to see to it
every community has input i n t o s t a t e government, a s

open t o them because they were the voices of t h e i r communities.
He wanted t h e i r ideas and wanted them t o join the team
for economic development ...."
The July/ August/ September 1977 i s s u e of D i r e c t i o n s , an informational p u b l i c a t i o n
of the Office of Economic Planning and Development, contained a d e s c r i p t i o n
of Board d u t i e s t o include:
"... a s s i s t ( i n g ) the Governor and Executive Director ( of
OEPAD) i n shaping r e l e v a n t p o l i c i e s f o r the s t a t e . The Board
provides guidance on budget, work program and p r o j e c t s .
The Executive Director welcomes the a c t i v e involvement
of the Advisory Board i n the policy- making p r o c e s s . . . . I t
is the philosophy of t h e Executive Director t h a t e f f e c t i v e
and r e a l i s t i c p o l i c i e s i n t h e a r e a of economic planning
and development demand meaningful c i t i z e n input and
the Advisory Board provides a statewide mechanism f o r t h i s
public c o n t a c t . " ( Emphasis added)
The Executive Director of OEPAD i n an October 27, 1978, statement noted:
The t f o b j e c t i v e s of the Board a r e t o advise the Governor
on matters of economic planning and development. The
Board is a county ' sounding board1 and allows small
county r e p r e s e n t a t i o n i n s t a t e government."
The apparent i n t e n t , t h e r e f o r e , of the EPAD Board is t o a c t i v e l y provide
policy- making advice t o the Governor of Arizona and the Executive Director
of the Office of Economic Planning and Development. However, our review
of the EPAD Board revealed t h a t a c t i v e policy- making involvement by the
Board has occurred only s u p e r f i c i a l l y .

a c t i v i t y , the Board d i d n o t make any p o l i c y - r e l a t e d recommendations during
f i s c a l year I 978- 79.
F i n a l l y , only one EPAD Board policy- related recommendation was implemented
during the two f i s c a l years 1977- 78 and 1978- 79.
L e g i s l a t i o n Reviewed And
Recommended By The EPAD
Board
I n September 1974 and March 1976, the EPAD Board e s t a b l i s h e d committees
on l e g i s l a t i v e matters. The purpose of these committees was t o review and
make recommendations on proposed s t a t e l e g i s l a t i o n . A t four Board meetings
from f i s c a l years 1974- 75 through 1978- 79, c u r r e n t l e g i s l a t i o n was discussed;
and at f i v e other meetings, areas of p o t e n t i a l l e g i s l a t i o n were discussed.
In two i n s t a n c e s r e s o l u t i o n s or recommendations were made. However,
compared to the number of l e g i s l a t i v e b i l l s introduced, passed and forwarded
t o the Governor f o r s i g n a t u r e o r veto regarding economic planning and development,
t h i s r e p r e s e n t s an i n s i g n i f i c a n t l e v e l of a c t i v i t y .
For f i s c a l years 1974- 75 through 1978- 79, Arizona L e g i s l a t o r s introduced

As shown i n Table 3, the Governor had at least 64 economic planning and
development r e l a t e d b i l l s t o consider f o r s i g n a t u r e or veto for f i s c a l years
1974- 75 through 1978- 79. The EPAD Board, however, discussed only 11 l e g i s l a t i v e •
b i l l s and made recommendations on two of them during t h a t same period.
It is noteworthy t h a t n e i t h e r of the two b i l l s upon which the Board made
a recommendation were among the 64 b i l l s t h a t reached the Governor for
s i g n a t u r e or veto. F u r t h e r , the EPAD Board has not discussed any l e g i s l a t i v e •
b i l l s at any of its meetings since April 1977.
Based upon the above information, it appears t h a t the EPAD Board has f a i l e d t o
f u l f i l l its r o l e as a source of advice t o the Governor on economic planning
and development l e g i s l a t i v e i s s u e s .
Two Attempts To Involve
Board Members In Decision-
Making Are Not Successful
The EPAD Board has recommended its i n c l u s i o n i n the decision- making processes
for two s e p a r a t e a r e a s : 1) s e l e c t i o n o f Four Corners Regional Commission
( FCRC) p r o j e c t s and Economic Development Administration ( EDA) 304 p r o j e c t s ,
and 2) p u b l i c h e a r i n g s concerning growth s t r a t e g i e s f o r t h e S t a t e . Board
members' involvement i n the s e l e c t i o n o f Four Corners Regional Commission
and EDA 304 p r o j e c t s h a s n o t been implemented and a s o f June 30, 1979, the
growth s t r a t e g y hearings have not been held.
FCRC AND EDA 304 P r o j e c t s
A t its April 29, 1977 meeting, EPAD Board members were briefed on the Four
Corners Regional Commission ( FCRC) and the f a c t t h a t t h e r e was approximately
$ 7 million a v a i l a b l e for Arizona t o spend on FCRC and economic development
a c t i v i t i e s . According t o the Board minutes:
" The FCRC recommended P o l i c i e s and P r i o r i t i e s f a c t sheet
was d i s t r i b u t e d t o the Board members covering the a r e a s
of p r i o r i t i e s and a l l o c a t i o n s , p o l i c i e s , i n d u s t r i a l
development, intergovernmental planning coordination,
n a t u r a l resources, government s e r v i c e s , human s e r v i c e s ,
and t r a n s p o r t a t i o n . A discussion of t h i s was held.
( The Executive D i r e c t o r ) suggested t h a t the Board members
spend some time looking t h i s over, and t h a t a committee
from the Board be e s t a b l i s h e d to provide i n p u t . . . ( The
chairman) appointed a committee c o n s i s t i n g of ( f o u r
members). . . , " ( Emphasis added)
On October 7, 1977, the EPAD Board reviewed a l e t t e r from its Chairman to
the Governor concerning the FCRC and Economic Development Administration
304 grant a p p l i c a t i o n reviewing process. According to the Board minutes,
through t h i s process:
". . . Board members r e p r e s e n t i n g t h e v a r i o u s counties and - - --
a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e from the county r e q u e s t i n g t h e grant
should have input i n t o t h e d e c i s i o n making process ... It
was requested t h a t the record i n d i c a t e the Board's appro
of t h i s approach." ( Emphasis added)
In a l e t t e r from the Governor dated September 30, 1977, t o the Chairman
of the EPAD Board, the Governor endorsed and directed t h i s approach be implemented.
" I have long f e l t t h a t the OEPAD Advisory Board should
provide the Governor's Office with its review and recommen-dations
as to where and on which funding projects the
Four Corners Regional Commission and Economic Development
Administration 304 grant d o l l a r s should be allocated.
I, therefore, accept and recommend to... the Executive
Director of the Office of Economic Planning and Development,
t h a t your suggestions be implemented as soon as possible."
( Emphasis added)
According to the former Executive Director and s t a f f of OEPAD, implementation of
the SPAD Board recommendations was not f e a s i b l e due t o two successive changes i n
gubernatorial leadership.*
Growth Strategy Hearings
According to EPAD Board minutes, the Board was involved i n discussions regarding
public hearings for a S t a t e growth strategy and an economic development
planning process on a t least two occasions.
On April 29, 1977, it was announced a t the Board meeting that:
" The Governor has agreed to t o u r t h e s t a t e holding public
meetings encouraging c i t i z e n input as suggested a t the
breakfast meeting with Board members held i n February.
Following these hearings OEPAD w i l l d r a f t a statement
on Arizona Alternatives regarding economic development
planning process ... ( It was) suggested that the OEPAD
Advisory Board members a c t as coordinators and conduct
the meetings. ' I A motion passed unanimously approving
the proposed project.
* A few EPAD Board members have i n d i r e c t l y provided input on selected
304 projects.
A t the May 13, 1978 meeting, the hearings were again discussed as members
were:
" . . . briefed. . . on the upcoming growth policy meetings
which ( t h e ) Governor... has approved. A discussion of
the proposed hearings was held r e s u l t i n g i n an endorsement
by the Board members and a pledge to assist i n the preparation
for and conducting of meetings as they are held."
A s of June 30, 1979, p u b l i c h e a r i n g s on a S t a t e growth s t r a t e g y or planning
process have not been held.
Meeting Frequency And
Attendance Decline
The EPAD Board has, as of June 26, 1979, not met f o r t e n months and has
met only twice i n the past 18 months. Attendance by members has declined
u n t i l a majority of members have n o t a t t e n d e d f r e q u e n t l y enough to j u s t i f y
t h e i r membership.
Meeting frequency has declined from a high of f i v e meetings i n 1973, 1974 and
1976 f i s c a l years t o one meeting i n 1979. In a d d i t i o n , the numbers of members
attending l e s s t l a n 50 percent of the meetings has averaged between 40
to 50 percent of the t o t a l membership since f i s c a l year 1976.
This meeting frequency and attendance l e v e l is below standards set
by 23 other Arizona advisory councils and boards surveyed by t h e Office
of the Auditor General. ( For a detailed discussion of low attendance, see
page 28) A l l Arizona advisory councils and boards surveyed s e t quarterly
meetings as a minimum level of operation. I n addition, 61 ( 68 percent)
of the 89 economic planning and/ or development boards surveyed i n other
s t a t e s by the Office o f the Auditor General meet quarterly or more frequently.
In our opinion, the EPAD Board has demonstrated only s u p e r f i c i a l effectiveness
as a vehicle f o r s i g n i f i c a n t c i t i z e n involvement i n s t a t e government or a
a s a policy advisory group to the Governor. This is evidenced by the EPAD
Board's sporadic involvement, declining i n recent years, i n economic planning
and development policy decision- making; the f a i l u r e to address and advise
the Governor regarding l e g i s l a t i o n under h i s consideration; the i n a b i l i t y
to obtain a continuing role i n s e l e c t i o n o f regional projects for funding;
and the decline in member attendance and meeting frequency.
The l e g i s l a t i v e i n t e n t for an advisory board on state- wide economic planning a
and development and the managerial objectives for s i g n i f i c a n t c i t i z e n involvement
i n policy- making have not been met. Therefore, policy is made and implemented
and l e g i s l a t i o n is signed or vetoed without the advice of appointed county
and state- wide representatives.
Reasons For EPAD Board1 s Lack
Of Significant Involvement In
Policy- Makiq
The EPAD Board appears to have been only s u p e r f i c i a l l y involved i n policy
making because of the lack o f a defined role f o r t h e Board and declining member
a t tendance.
The newly appointed Executive Director of OEPAD s t a t e d on June 18, 1979,
that the underlying cause for low l e v e l s of EPAD Board a c t i v i t y was:
" No role, purpose o r o b j e c t i v e s had been established
f o r t h e EPAD Board."
The decline in attendance had also been i d e n t i f i e d by OEPAD s t a f f as a compounding
cause for lack of action by the Board in recent years.
According to a statement on June 11, 1979, by the Executive Director o f
OEPAD, the Board's emphasis, e f f o r t and membership should be changed t o
improve its effectiveness:
" Citizen boards w i l l have more impact, c r e a t e more member
i n t e r e s t and be more e f f e c t i v e i n t h e i r d e l i b e r a t i o n
by concentrating on local economic development, r a t h e r
than state- wide planning issues. Boards, such as the
EPAD one, should be more involved i n the selection of
l o c a l projects to be funded. The EPAD Board should be
responsive to the Legislature as well as to the Executive
branch.
It would be useful in the e f f e c t i v e administration o f
the Economic Planning and Development ( EPAD) Board to have
persons appointed who were i n t e r e s t e d in economic development
in t h e i r counties."
According to a comment by Mr. R. B. Caldwell from the Colorado Department
of Local Affairs, t h e e f f e c t i v e n e s s of advisory boards depends on two factors:
" Effectiveness of Advisory Board( s) ( i s ) d i r e c t l y related
to how the agency head or Governor permits them to p a r t i c i p a t e
and the q u a l i t y of ( t h e ) individuals selected....""
* Other Pertinent Information, on page41, contains a l i s t i n g of EPAD Board
members f o r the past five years and t h e i r respective occupations.
Advisory Boards On Economic
Planning And Development In
Other S t a t e s
A survey by the Office of the Auditor General i d e n t i f i e d t h a t as of May 31,
1979, 42 other s t a t e s had a t o t a l of 89 state- wide c i t i z e n advisory
boards* addressing economic planning and development areas. Nineteen s t a t e s
u t i l i z e d more than one state- wide board t o perform the functions performed
by the EPAD Board.
CONCLUSION
The Economic Planning and Development Board has had only s u p e r f i c i a l involvement •
i n policy- making and l e g i s l a t i o n a f f e c t i n g the economic planning and development
area. The Board has not had a defined r o l e or purpose. A s of June 26,
1979, it has not been o p e r a t i o n a l f o r ten months and has met only twice i n the
past 18 months. This s i t u a t i o n , together with low attendance by members,
has prevented the Board from a t t a i n i n g its intended purpose.

" RECOMMENDATION
Consideration should be given t o the following recommendation:
- The present r o l e , involvement, lack of coordination with other
advisory groups, attendance, e f f e c t i v e n e s s and r e s u l t i n g a c t i v i t y
l e v e l o f t h e Economic Planning and Development Board do not j u s t i f y
its continuance beyond July 1, 1980.
- If the EPAD Board is continued, a defined r o l e f o r s i g n i f i c a n t policy-making
involvement, improved attendance and e f f e c t i v e n e s s should
be obtained by g u b e r n a t o r i a l and OEPAD Executive D i r e c t o r a c t i o n .
Appendix I V contains comparative c h a r t s of s t a t e s u t i l i z i n g c i t i z e n
boards i n the economic planning and development area.
FINDING I1
THERE ARE AT LEAST 27 OTHER BOARDS, COUNCILS AND COMMISSIONS I N ARIZONA THAT
APPEAR TO PERFORM FUNCTIONS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE ARIZONA ECONOMIC PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD.
According to the Arizona llSunsetll Law one of the f a c t o r s to be considered
when evaluating the need to continue an e n t i t y is the degree of duplication
of function with other e n t i t i e s . A s of June 30, 1979, there were a t l e a s t
27 other boards, councils and commissions i n Arizona t h a t appear to perform
functions similar to those of the EPAD Board and very l i t t l e e f f o r t has
been made by the EPAD Board to communicate or coordinate a c t i v i t i e s with
these other e n t i t i e s . A s a r e s u l t , a duplication o f function appears t o e x i s t
between the EPAD Board and the 27 other e n t i t i e s .
ARS 41- 2354 Arizona llSunsetll Law provides that t h e L e g i s l a t i v e Committee
of Reference w i l l hold a t l e a s t one public hearing regarding each agency
scheduled for termination and prepare a report of recommendations for continuation
or termination of the agency. One factor to be considered by the Committee
is duplication or c o n f l i c t of functions. ARS 41- 2354( F) s t a t e s , i n part:
" The report by the committee of reference s h a l l also
include an i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of any other agencies having
s i m i l a r , c o n f l i c t i n g or duplicate objectives, and an
explanation of the manner i n which the agency avoids
duplication or c o n f l i c t with other such agencies. ll
In a survey of Arizona c i t i z e n boards, councils and commissions, the Office
of the Auditor General i d e n t i f i e d a t l e a s t 27 groups whose functions appear
to be similar a t l e a s t in part to those of the EPAD Board. Table 4 lists
the 27 e n t i t i e s i d e n t i f i e d as having been established i n Arizona to perform
functions similar to those of the EPAD Board.

A s shown i n Table 4, excluding the s i x e n t i t i e s t h a t a r e provided s t a f f
support through OEPAD, eightentities had experienced some contact with the
EPAD Board while 13 e n t i t i e s had not experienced any contact with the EPAD
Board. The f a c t t h a t these 13 e n t i t i e s had not had any c o n t a c t w i t h the
EPAD Board seems somewhat incongruous i n l i g h t of the f a c t t h a t 1) 11
of these 13 e n t i t i e s had experienced contact with OEPAD and 2) OEPAD provides
the staff support t o the EPAD Board. Table 4 a l s o shows t h a t apparently
a l l of the EPAD Board functions a r e addressed by some o f t h e 27 i d e n t i f i e d
e n t i t i e s .
It should be noted t h a t o f f i c i a l s i n OEPAD have expressed r e s e r v a t i o n s regarding
the comparisons shown i n Table 4. I n a l e t t e r t o the O f f i c e o f t h e Auditor
General dated July 25, 1979,* the A s s i s t a n t t o the Executive Director of
OEPAD s t a t e d :
" The c h a r t ( Table 4) does not analyze the purpose, scope,
or q u a l i t y of the other groupsr e f f o r t s and, as a r e s u l t ,
may present a one- sided p i c t u r e o f t h e functions of
the groups involved. That p i c t u r e is one of extensive
d u p l i c a t i o n o f r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s and programs. However,
such a determination cannot be a c c u r a t e l y made simply
by comparing the formal functions and d u t i e s of each
group. The a c t u a l operations of the groups l i s t e d should
be analyzed f o r the purpose of g a i n i n g t h e information
mentioned above and, subsequently, a c l e a r comparison
developed.
The objection of OEPAD s t a f f notwithstanding, i n o u r o p i n i o n the information
i n Table 4, coupled with t h e c u r r e n t i n a c t i v i t y of the EPAD Board ( page 10)
demonstrates t h a t c i t i z e n input regarding economic planning and development
would not be eliminated or even s i g n i f i c a n t l y impaired i f the EPAD Board
were terminated.
* Appendix V I c o n t a i n s t h e f u l l text of t h i s l e t t e r .
CONCLUSION
A s of June 30, 1979, a t l e a s t 27 other boards, councils or commissions in
Arizona appear to perform functions similar to those of the EPAD Board. a
Since l i t t l e e f f o r t has been made by the EPAD Board to communicate or coordinate
a c t i v i t i e s with these e n t i t i e s , duplication of function appears to e x i s t .
RECOMMENDATION
If the EPAD Board is continued beyond July 1, 1980, consideration should
be given to the following:
- EPAD Board i n s t i t u t e regular communication with a t l e a s t the 27 other
e n t i t i e s that perform s i m i l a r functions t o coordinate t h e i r e f f o r t s
and avoid duplication.
FINDING I11
A MAJORITY OF THE ARIZONA ECONOMIC PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD APPOINTEES
HAVE NOT ATTENDED ENOUGH MEETINGS TO JUSTIFY THEIR MEMBERSHIP.
Since August 15, 1976, 12 of 21 appointees ( or 57 percent) of the Economic
Planning and Development Board have been absent for three or more consecutive
meetings. According to the by- laws and procedures of 23 other Arizona advisory
councils and boards, three consecutive member absences c o n s t i t u t e grounds
for: 1) a declaration t h a t the board or council membership is vacant, or
2 ) submission of Board member's resignation or 3) recommendation of dismissal.
In addition, 40 to 50 percent of the EPAD members have attended less than
half of the meetings during each of t h e p a s t t h r e e f i s c a l years. The lack
of attendance a t EPAD Board meetings prevents the EPAD Board from f u l f i l l i n g
its stated l e g i s l a t i v e i n t e n t , which is to provide for county representation
on a statewide economic planning and development board.
EPAD Board Members Do Not
Attend Meetings Regularlx
Membership attendance a t EPAD Board meetings has declined to the point where
half of the members attend l e s s than 50 percent of the Board meetings.
Table 5 summarizes membership attendance a t EPAD Board meetings for f i s c a l
years 1973- 74 through 1978- 79.

A s a consequence of the above demonstrated poor membership attendance at
EPAD Board meetings, t h e Board is f a i l i n g t o achieve its primary function
of providing r e p r e s e n t a t i o n f o r every Arizona county on a state- wide board.
ARS 41- 502 requires t h a t the Economic Planning and Development Board include
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from a l l 14 counties and s t a t e s i n p a r t :
'! The governor s h a l l appoint an advisory economic planning
and development board which s h a l l be composed of at
l e a s t fourteen and no more than twenty members who s h a l l
serve without compensation. A t l e a s t one member s h a l l be a
bona f i d e r e s i d e n t o f each county of t h i s s t a t e . " ( Emphasis
added)
Further, the former Executive Director o f t h e Office of Economic Planning
and Development and g u b e r n a t o r i a l l i a i s o n t o the Board described the functions d
of the Board to be a state- wide " sounding board" for economic planning and
development i s s u e s a s well a s a vehicle through which the counties have a
voice in s t a t e government.
However, EPAD Board member attendance a t Board meetings has d e t e r i o r a t e d
such t h a t 23 to 50 percent of Arizona's counties have been represented a t l e s s
than half of the EPAD Board meetings in each f i s c a l year since 1975- 76.

It should be noted t h a t Gila County has not had a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e a t t e n d

on the EPAD Board since f i s c a l year 1973- 74; Apache County had two
representives since June 1976 whereas the other 11 Arizona counties
have had only one representative.
Causes For Excessive Absenteeism
The causes for excessive absenteeism by EPAD Board members a r e numerous.
However, a primary cause is t h e absence of EPAD Board by- laws, p a r t i c u l a r l y
those r e l a t i n g t o membership and attendance a t meetings.
A review of Arizona s t a t u t e s revealed t h a t EPAD Board members do not have
a l e g a l l y e s t a b l i s h e d length of appointment on the Board. I n s t e a d , Board
members serve u n t i l they a r e replaced by the Governor or resign. I n a d d i t i o n ,
the EPAD Board has n o t e s t a b l i s h e d any by- laws concerning meeting attendance
requirements for Board members. By f a i l i n g to e s t a b l i s h such by- laws, the
EPAD Board is d e f i c i e n t when c o n t r a s t e d with other Arizona a d v i s o r y c o u n c i l s . a
A survey of 23 Arizona a d v i s o r y c o u n c i l s * conducted by the Office of the
Auditor General revealed t h a t a l l had e s t a b l i s h e d by- laws or procedures
regarding terms of membership and had e s t a b l i s h e d standards f o r attendance
to the e f f e c t t h a t t h r e e consecutive meeting absences were unacceptable.
In the event of t h r e e consecutive meeting absences e i t h e r : 1) a membership
vacancy was declared, 2 ) the absent member was recommended f o r d i s m i s s a l ,
or 3) t h e absent member was required t o submit a r e s i g n a t i o n .
Had the EPAD Board adopted by- laws regarding member attendance at meetings
s i m i l a r t o those o f t h e o t h e r Arizona advisory and councils boards surveyed,
then a majority of the EPAD Board members appointed since August 15, 1975**, I
would not be on t h e Board. During the period from f i s c a l year 1975- 76 through
1978- 79, 12 o f t h e 21 members who have been appointed to the EPAD Board
have missed a t l e a s t t h r e e consecutive meetings.
* Appendix VII is a complete l i s t i n g o f t h e advisory councils and boards
surveyed.
** Governor Castro appointed an e n t i r e l y new Board membership t h a t met
for the first time on August 15, 1975.
It should be noted t h a t a review of EPAD Board minutes revealed that unresponsive
support from OEPAD s t a f f may have contributed to the absence of % PAD Board
by- laws. According t o EPAD Board minutes, the Board discussed adopting
by- laws on five occasions during its meetings for f i s c a l years 1976- 77 and
1977- 78. The EPAD Board on f i v e separate occasions from February 1977 to
May 1978 requested the OEPAD s t a f f assigned to the Board to e i t h e r provide
the Board with samples of by- laws used by other S t a t e advisory boards or
d r a f t sample by- laws for the Board. The OEPAD s t a f f performed neither
of the requested functions for the Board."
In addition to the absence of EPAD Board by- laws, other i d e n t i f i e d causes
for poor member attendance a t EPAD Board meetings include the following:
From the s t a f f of OEPAD:
- Absence of gubernatorial action to replace non- attending members, and
- Conflicts with members' business or personal commitments.
From members of the EPAD Board:
- Conflicts with members' business or personal commitments,
- Lack of i n t e r e s t or commitment by members, and
- I l l n e s s
Finally, a Board member, in a l e t t e r dated January 20, 1978 to the then Governor
of Arizona, s t a t e d another reason for not attending EPAD Board meetings:
" I n i t i a l l y ... I was enthused about my work on t h i s Board
and attended a l l functions. However... it became apparent
to me t h a t ( t h e ) Governor... was simply not u t i l i z i n g
t h e s e r v i c e s of the Board in a manner which would be
beneficial to the s t a t e nor worthwhile to the individual
members in terms of the time commitment required."
* In approximately June 1978, the OEPAD s t a f f provided the EPAD Board
members with a copy of by- laws used by local organizations.
CONCLUSION
Attendance by a majority o f the Economic Planning and Development Board
appointees has been substandard since 1975. This substandard attendance has 9
n u l l i f i e d the s t a t e d l e g i s l a t i v e i n t e n t for the Board to consist of representatives
from each county of the state.
RECOMMENDATION a
It is recommended t h a t , i f the Board is continued beyond July 1, 1980, consideration
be given to the following:
1. Board members be appointed with the i n t e r e s t and a b i l i t y to attend
meetings. a
2. A c t i v i t i e s o f the Board be of such magnitude to j u s t i f y member attendance.
3. EPAD Board members adopt by- laws approved by the Governor f o r t h e i r
operations. These by- laws should include procedures regarding excessive
member absenteeism and terms of appointment.
FINDING I V
SINCE 1976 EFFORTS TO OBTAIN PUBLIC PARTICIPATION I N ARIZONA ECONOMIC PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETINGS HAVE DECLINED TO AN INADEQUATE LEVEL AS HAVE
ATTEMPTS TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF BOARD MEETING DATES AND ACTIONS.
EPAD Board e f f o r t s t o o b t a i n p u b l i c p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n its meetings and t o
n o t i f y public of meeting dates and Board a c t i o n s have s t e a d i l y declined
since 1976. In the e a r l y 197OVs, the Board meetings, memberships and a c t i o n s
were announced i n regular p r e s s r e l e a s e s t o news media throughout the s t a t e
and i n Directions, a widely d i s t r i b u t e d p u b l i c a t i o n of the Office of Economic
Planning and Development. In a d d i t i o n , Board meeting l o c a t i o n s were r o t a t e d
throughout the s t a t e t o obtain l o c a l input. However, beginning i n f i s c a l
year 1976- 77, the number of EPAD Board press r e l e a s e s was reduced and eventually
stopped; the number of a r t i c l e s regarding the Board t h a t were published
i n D i r e c t i o n s d e c l i n e d , and Directions ceased p u b l i c a t i o n i n June, 1979; and
the number of Board meetings held i n r u r a l areas decreased. A s a r e s u l t ,
current EPAD Board e f f o r t s t o o b t a i n p u b l i c p a r t i c i p a t i o n and t o n o t i f y
the public of its a c t i o n s a r e inadequate.
A Decline In E f f o r t s
To Publicize EPAD Board
Meetings and Actions and
Encourage Public P a r t i c i p a t i o n
P r i o r t o 1976, the EPAD Board n o t i f i e d the public of Board meetings and a c t i o n s
and encouraged public p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n four ways: 1) p r e s s r e l e a s e s , 2)
a r t i c l e s i n Directions, the Office of Economic Planning and Development
n e w s l e t t e r , 3) r o t a t i n g EPAD Board meeting l o c a t i o n s throughout the S t a t e ,
and 4) posting of public n o t i c e s i n the C a p i t o l a r e a . Currently, the EPAD
Board u t i l i z e s the posting of public n o t i c e s i n the Capitol a r e a , as required
by law, as its only means of formal communication, and the percentage of
EPAD Board meetings held o u t s i d e of the metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson
a r e a s has declined sharply since f i s c a l year 1974- 75.
Press Releases
The issuance of press releases before and a f t e r EPAD Board meetings and
to announce Board member appointments and o f f i c e r s was a regular practice
u n t i l 1976. These releases t y p i c a l l y were sent to a l l Arizona daily papers,
radio and t e l e v i s i o n s t a t i o n s as well as weekly papers in the home towns
of Board members.
According to OEPAD s t a f f , i n 1976 d r a f t press releases on EPAD Board
a c t i v i t i e s were sent to the Governor's o f f i c e for consideration, approval
and release r a t h e r than d i r e c t release by OEPAD. However, beginning i n
1976, the Governor's o f f i c e ceased i s s u i n g t h e p r e s s r e l e a s e s . After several a
months, when these d r a f t releases were not u t i l i z e d , OEPAD s t a f f responsible
for public information were directed to cease preparation of the press releases.
Subsequently, the OEPAD public information s t a f f were not even informed
when an EPAD Board meeting was t o be held. According to OEPAD s t a f f , in
t h e p a s t 18 t o 24 months, no news a r t i c l e has been approved and released
by the Governor's o f f i c e regarding Board a c t i v i t i e s .
Articles Published
In Directions
A r t i c l e s concerning the a c t i v i t i e s of the EPAD Board used to frequently
appear in the OEPAD publication, Directions. This publication was d i s t r i b u t e d
to a l l s t a t e agency o f f i c i a l s with economic planning and development r e s p o n s i b i l i t i a
s t a t e l e g i s l a t o r s , c i t y and county government o f f i c i a l s , business community
leaders, planning agencies in other s t a t e s and individuals upon request.
The mailing list for Directions increased from approximately 600 i n 1971
t o over 3,000 i n 1979. Directions was published monthly from 1971 to 1976, a
bimonthly i n 1976 and quarterly* from 1977 to June 1979 when it ceased publication.
In f i s c a l year 1975- 76, eight a r t i c l e s on EPAD Board a c t i v i t i e s appeared
i n Directions; however, the number of such a r t i c l e s has s t e a d i l y declined
since then as shown i n Table 7. ( I

Posting Of Notices
ARS 38- 431.02 requires that public notices of EPAD Board meetings be posted
in l o c a t i o n s s p e c i f i e d in a statement f i l e d with the Secretary o f S t a t e
and s t a t e s in p a r t :
" The public bodies of the s t a t e s h a l l f i l e a statement

of t h e i r meetings w i l l be posted."
The EPAD Board has c o n s i s t a n t l y been in compliance with ARS 38- 431.02 regarding
the posting of public n o t i c e s o f t h e i r meetings.
Rotation O f EPAD
Board Meeting
Location Declines
According to the former Executive Director o f OEPAD i n a statement on October 27, a
1978, EPAD Board meeting locations are determined by the Board and the purpose
f o r r o t a t i n g EPAD Board meetings was:
rlLocation of EPAD Board meetings was rotated to obtain
local input on Board matters."
Prior to f i s c a l year 1975- 76 EPAD Board meetings were rotated t o d i f f e r e n t
geographic locations throughout the s t a t e . Since f i s c a l year 1975- 76 a majority
of EPAD Board meetings have been held i n the Phoenix or Tucson areas. For
example, during f i s c a l years 1972- 73 through 1974- 75, 62 percent of EPAD
Board meetings were held outside of Phoenix and Tucson. However, during
f i s c a l years 1975- 76 through 1978- 79 only 36 percent of EPAD Board meetings
were held outside of Phoenix and Tucson. Further, during f i s c a l years 1977-
78 and 1978- 79, 60 percent of EPAD Board meetings have been held in the
@
Phoenix metropolitan area.
Methods For Obtaining
Public Input
According to a publication, Techniques of Public Involvement from the Council
o f S t a t e Planning Agencies, an a f f i l i a t e of the National Governors' Association,
there are generally s i x objectives for a public involvement program.
1 Identify the public concerned or affected by the
policies to be formed.
2. Provide information t o the public.
3. Receive and document public comments, concerns,
and opinions.
4. Document, evaluate and use public input where possible.
5. Report r e s u l t s to the public.
6. Provide program budget and s t a f f i n g . "
In a framework for evaluation o f such public p a r t i c i p a t i o n , t h e Council
of S t a t e Planning Agencies suggested methods t h a t should be used to reach
these objectives:
1. Develop and use d i s t r i b u t i o n , mailing or contact lists of i n t e r e s t e d
and/ or affected groups, organizations, and o f f i c i a l s .
2. Talk with local c i t i z e n leaders and o f f i c i a l s .
3. Map and analyze t a r g e t groups needing to be involved.
4. Provide information to the public through t e l e v i s i o n , radio, d i r e c t
mail, newspapers and presentations at community workshops, briefings
and meetings.
5. Prepare documentation for use of p u b l i c i n p u t through written
reports or audio/ visual documentation of public meetings, surveys,
workshops and questionnaires.
6. Hold forums to obtain input, such as public meetings, workshops,
c i t i z e n committees, t a s k f o r c e s o r commissions.
7. Conduct surveys o r p o l l s t o obtain input.
8. Report r e s u l t s of c i t i z e n p a r t i c i p a t i o n to public through media
or d i r e c t mailings.
9. Develop a plan for c i t i z e n p a r t i c i p a t i o n including objectives,
methods, budget and s t a f f .
The Economic Planning and Development Board had, u n t i l 1976, u t i l i z e d five
of the nine methods to encourage public p a r t i c i p a t i o n by:
1. Distribution of Directions with Board related information to i n t e r e s t e d a
p a r t i e s .
2. Discussions with local o f f i c i a l s a t , before and a f t e r meetings
rotated to communities in the s t a t e .
3. Distribution of information to the media through press releases.
4. Meeting, on a rotated basis, throughout the s t a t e .
5. Reporting r e s u l t s of meetings in Directions.
Since 1976, such e f f o r t s t o obtain public p a r t i c i p a t i o n have declined to
mere compliance with the posting of notices for public meetings. A s s t a t e d
by Mr. Ernest Gellhorn, former Dean of the Arizona College of Law, regarding
notice to the public for t h e i r p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n administrative proceedings:
" That existing procedures conform to c o n s t i t u t i o n a l
minima is not a reason for agencies to f a i l t o explore
appropriate procedures for providing e f f e c t i v e notice
to the affected public and t h e i r representatives. "
CONCLUSION
Efforts to obtain public p a r t i c i p a t i o n in EPAD Board meetings has been declining
since 1976. Past practices of news r e l e a s e s , publication o f a newsletter,
and rotation of meeting locations have a l l declined or ceased. Compared
to standards for public p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n planning l i t e r a t u r e , t h i s decline
of e f f o r t has reached an inadequate l e v e l .
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended if the Economic Planning and Development Board is continued
beyondJuly 1, 1980, t h a t consideration be given to the following:
- The Board and OEPAD should adopt such methods for publicly announcing
Board meetings and actions so c i t i z e n s have an opportunity to
express t h e i r concerns regarding economic planning and development
issues.

Auditor General
State of Arizona
112 North Central, Suite 600
Phoenix, Arizona 85004
Dear M r . Norton:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft OEPAD Board
Sunset Audit. Several Board members have commented to me, and I
would like to share their concerns with you. I would also add that
although you listed a September 10th deadline for comments, the
Board will not be meeting until September 18th, and this will be a
discussion item. If you could allow us this leeway, we will give you
an answer in more detail right after the Board meeting.*
Several Board members have expressed concern over two aspects of
this report.
The past activities and lack of action by the Board are there for
the record. However, I believe your report should also comment
on the activities concerning the new Board. I am attaching a
copy of the minutes of our first meeting which shows how this
Board has vowed to be a strong policy Board and is adopting
attendance criteria so that members that do not attend will be
dropped from the Board. Governor Babbitt has formally con-curred
with this policy. In addition, I have attached a
prioritized list of activities the Board members identified at the
meeting on August 14, 1979.
2. It is stated, despite objections from the OEPAD staff, that there
are twenty- seven other boards and commissions doing economic
development. It is my considered opinion, as well as many other
members of the Board, that the OEPAD Board is crucial because
it is the only statewide board that focuses on overall economic
development policies. Most of the other boards and groups you
review are minor in the economic development and planning field
and have limited impact. I strongly urge your staff to do a

more qualitative review of these other boards' actual workings
and activities, and I believe you will see the necessity for a
function as designed in the statutes for the OEPAD Board.
The new Board of Directors has also agreed to an aggressive meeting
policy and would invite your staff to sit in our September 18th,
October loth, or any other subsequent Board meetings. I would ask
that your staff make mention of the policies and practices of the new
Board and that be a part of your report. Also, I would invite
another review of the OEPAD Board prior to July 1, 1980 to critique
current activities and to ensure the Board is on a productive course.
After the new Board has had an opportunity to comment as a body on
your draft report, we will send you further information.
Thank you very much, and we look forward to working with you in
the future.
Sincerely,
/
