Conference of Urban Counties

December 22, 2004 by admin

Texas Conference of Urban Counties

The Texas Conference of Urban Counties (CUC) is a non-profit organization composed of 37 member counties representing nearly 80 percent of the population of Texas.

The CUC supports and coordinates communications among member counties, studies policies and programs of the state of Texas that affect urban counties, advocates county issues, primarily at the state level, and provides training and education programs appropriate for urban county officials. All services and activities are pursued for the benefit of the people of Texas.

Urban County Programs Include:

Intergovernmental Relations: The urban counties’ major program and priority is advocacy on county issues before state government, such as unfunded mandates, greater authority and flexibility for counties, and special projects including the coordination of the Texas Clean Air Working Group. The urban counties have successfully obtained significant new authority and resources for Texas counties in recent years.

Member Services: Provision of a limited number of services to member counties:
TechShare – Collaborative IT projects saving money and providing better IT solutions than members can get on their own.
Public Power Pool – The largest energy-purchasing coop in Texas.
Urban County Clips – Daily distribution of news articles on county government and county issues by e-mail.

Education: Production of a limited number of education programs specially tailored for urban counties, including our Biennial Policy Conference and monthly luncheon series during legislative sessions.

The CUC office is located at:
500 West 13th Street
Austin, 78701

For more information, contact Executive Director Donald Lee at 512-476-6174.
