Consolidations & Shared Services Save Tax Dollars
In the current difficult economic times, business as usual no longer is effective. Citizens are demanding municipalities and counties to reduce costs without reducing services. Shared services and consolidations is one approach that has proven to be an effective method to achieve these seemingly contradictory goals.
Many municipalities have already benefited from consolidating fire, police, dispatch, inspections and health departments. Almost any function or department can be considered for a shared service analysis. Consolidations often occur between municipalities or with surrounding counties. There are also numerous opportunities to share services with school districts, special districts and the private sector.
If you are looking for opportunities to reduce costs without sacrificing services, why not investigate the shared service approach. While difficult and challenging, the payoff can be well worth the effort.
