Approval is requested to submit the update of the Service Delivery Strategy for \n \n the Columbus Consolidated Government to the Georgia Department of Community \n \n Affairs.
Approval
Approved
Background
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires that a plan of
cooperation for certain services between municipalities and the county
government, be developed for every county. This is done to insure that there
is no overlapping or duplication of services between these governments. In
1998, this strategy was developed for Muscogee County, which at that time
included Bibb City. Since the last submission, the Town of Bibb City has
combined into the Columbus Consolidated Government, which is now the only
government in Muscogee County. With the submission of the update to the
community's comprehensive plan, we are now obligated to update certain pages of
this strategy where they make reference to Bibb City.
Analysis
Even though we are a consolidated government and have no other local
governments in the county, the Columbus Consolidated Government is still
required to file an update for this serviced delivery strategy.
Financial Considerations
There are no financial considerations or impacts from this action.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Legal Considerations
The submission of these updates will meet a DCA requirement that requires this
action when a new or updated comprehensive plan is submitted.
