CITY-COUNTY LOCAL GOVERNMENT COOPERATAIVE SERVICES STUDY GROUP
City Logo In December of 2010, the Clallam County Commissioners and the City of Port Angeles City Council agreed to establish a Local Government Cooperative Services Study Group that was assigned the task of exploring ways that the City and County could cooperate in the provision of certain governmental services.

This Group was made up of one County Commissioner and the County Administrator representing Clallam County and the Mayor and City Manager representing the City of Port Angeles.

County Logo The Study Group was charged with looking for areas within both the County and City operations that might be more efficient and cost effective if performed in a cooperative manner. Both Clallam County and the City of Port Angeles are experiencing budgetary challenges and it is our position that additional cooperative approaches will provide both short-term and long-term cost savings for local taxpayers.

COOPERATIVE SERVICES STUDY GROUP FINAL REPORT
Note: You must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed to view this file.

In completing this report and recommendation the members of the Study Group hope that this is merely the start rather than the completion of the process of assessing areas of cooperation between the County and the City. There are likely a number of other areas that will be feasible to consider in the future and we request that a clear message be sent to all of our staff that cooperation with each other is a requirement not just something that we want to passively consider.

In these tough economic times we have to look for ways to support each other while keeping in mind that we are both responsible to the taxpayers for getting the best possible return on their investment in their local governments.
