As a relatively new kind of governmental organization, NCTCOG is charged with conducting regional Planning and
services under a wide variety of state and federal funding progmms. Sound management and administration is essentia
to the performance of NCTCOG's mission. Included in the agency's funding sources are the Department of Housing
and Urban Development, Publ ic Health Service, Department of Transportation, Texas Water Qual ity Board, Federal
Water Quality Administration, and the State of Texas (Office of the Governor) through general support grants, non-
metropolitan regional council funding and criminal justice planning
t.
With each funding program there have come different management requirements from each agency for accounting,
reporting and auditing. This lack of uniformity in federal and state funding agency requirements and the uncertainty
of continued funding resource support make regional council management and administration very complex and difficu
Budgeting has been a serious challenge to agency administrators--an excessive amount of time is spent in grant
administration, yet there are no well developed management tools available to assist Directors and executive boards
in determining the effectiveness of programs as they relate to eClch other, which will simultaneously meet accounting
and auditing requirements and directives.

The effective utilization of resources to solve urban and re~ ional problems and to plan effectivelY for the future requires a
comprehensive knowledge of the area. An agency such as NCTCOG, which was created to aid in the development of the
North Central Texas Region, is especially in need of general socio-economic and physical information on its member govern-
ments as wel! as specific data on current problems or programs which may affect the future. Planning agencies in this area
lack such a data base. Without it, we risk making the same mistakes, also based on inade.quate information, as other metro-
politan areas have made. It is NCTCOG's responsibility to act as a coordinating agency in the development of an areawide
information system whi Ie supporting its own programs.

Rapid urbanization within the regIOn IS degrading the nal'ura these resources
of paramount importance. The increase of population density demands region's
natural resources, both in providing for open space and for the natural resource consumptive demands. Ob-
stacles impeding the effedive management of these natural resources include: lack of adequate regional
planning, land use planning, water supply management planning, watershed management, manpower
development, regional solid waste planning and management, regional air quality planning, and regiona
conservation management program". Underlying trese ob!;tacles is an apparent basic conflict between the
values of conservation (environmental quality maintenance) on the one hand and the values of growth or
economic development on the other. Available resources include funds from federal grants and contrads
