LAC 56:III.129. Priority Value Points to "Needing and Deserving" Projects

A. After determining project priority value for each candidate project according to the base priority value table found in §125, each planning commission shall then consider the relative merits of each project requesting funding, including past and present measures to conserve and use wisely the locally available water resources. The relative needs of each project entity, including local unemployment rates, median family income and prospective economic benefits accruing from the project shall also be considered. Each planning commission may then add to the priority value score of four projects in the region: 1. 4.0 points for the most needing and deserving project; 2. 3.0 points for the second most needing and deserving project; 3. 2.0 points for the third most needing and deserving project; 4. 1.0 point for the fourth most needing and deserving project.
