2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 34:3116 — Coordination and cooperation

§3116.  Coordination and cooperation

A.  It is the policy of this chapter that the authority development program be pursued so that there is full coordination and cooperation between agencies and groups that have complementing or overlapping interests and the authority.  It is not the policy of this chapter that the authority development program be pursued independently and with a view toward narrow, short-term interests.  

B.  The board of commissioners shall take affirmative steps to fully coordinate all aspects of the authority development program with the Louisiana Advisory Commission on Coastal and Marine Resources (Act No. 35 of 1971) or its successor group, which is charged with the development of a coastal zone management plan for the state.  

C.  The board of commissioners shall take affirmative steps to insure that the authority development program is coordinated into the planning programs of other modes of transportation, to include rail, road, waterway, air and pipeline, so that there is a long-term and orderly pursuit of transportation services in the coastal zone which are interrelated and coordinated so as to achieve the most efficient and economical transportation program that is feasible and that will be least destructive of other values in the state.  

D.  The board of commissioners shall insure that the appropriate federal agencies which are required by federal law to plan or regulate transportation facilities or programs are consulted regularly and are fully involved in the authority development program where appropriate.
