Essential policy decisions will typically be made by elected officials in an area and a large part of the work of this Administration is to help communities learn what alternatives they have and then to help make sure that the decisions which are made can be translated into successful programs (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 266 DD-1 - 266 DD-6). |
