The South Central Minnesota Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) is comprised of staff members from the member agencies appointed by the ECB. The RAC members represent administrative, technical, or operational specialties from the member cities and counties in the region. Most often these are Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police or Fire or management employees.

The RAC is charged with establishing and recommending bylaws, policies, standard operating procedures, reviewing recommendations from other committees, providing technical recommendations, and developing an annual budget.
