  1. Intergovernmental Cooperation Timothy W. Kelsey, Ph.D. Professor of Agricultural Economics Cooperative Extension

  2. Is this anything new?

  3. Agenda • What is Intergovernmental Cooperation? • Why consider doing this? • How to do it

  4. IntergovernmentalCooperation Is NOT… Consolidation

  5. The Ideal… • For services where it makes sense… • Provide services more effectively and cost efficiently than you can do alone • Provide higher quality services than you can do alone • Maintain local autonomy & decision-making

  6. Why Consider Doing This?

  7. You’re Already Involved with Your Neighbors Local Tax Dollars Collected, Lackawanna County

  8. Your residents are already ‘intergovernmentally connected”

  9. Why municipal officials need to work with school districts • Local Governments: • Planning authority that affects where people live, work, play, what services are needed • School Districts: • Educate the children living in the district

  10. Municipal Cost Index American City & County

  11. Year House Built 1999 to 2000 1990 to 1994 1970 to 1979 1950 to 1959 1939 or earlier Lackawanna County Pennsylvania average Source: City-data.com

  12. Lackawanna County Population U.S. Census

  13. Population drives… • Demands for servicesBut fixed costs for infrastructure? • Ability to get revenues • Ability to spread costs • Whether able to provide at low per-user cost

  14. Economies of Scale • There are cost savings for some services if have more users • Savings varies by service, quality provided, location, infrastructure needed

  15. Costs of government services vary dramatically

  16. Per Capita Spending on Gov’t Services in Lackawanna County <2,000 population (excludes Scranton) Data: DCED Audit Reports 2006 http://munstatspa.dced.state.pa.us/Reports.aspx

  18. How to do Intergovernmental Cooperation? • Build upon existing relationships & activities • Start small • Look for common interests and ‘problems’ • Don’t forget looking inside, too!

  19. Communication WITH OTHER Jurisdictions 2001 PSU land use effectiveness study

  20. Communication WITHIN the Municipality 2001 PSU land use effectiveness study

  21. How to do Intergovernmental Cooperation? • Build upon existing relationships & activities • Start small • Look for common interests and ‘problems’ • Don’t forget looking inside, too! • Engage the public!

  22. Engage the Public • Ask them - does it matter to them? Why? • How are they affected? • Do they care? You’ll likely find…most citizens don’t care about municipal boundaries – they care about the services they get, and the taxes they pay

  23. What Works? Examples • Informally lend equipment? • Purchase some supplies together? • Talk with officials from other local governments? • Are served by water or sewer authorities that cross municipal boundaries? • Share support for libraries or parks?
