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
Pending
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. The 2008 submission was the first that excluded Bibb City
as a separate government in Muscogee County. Since 2002, the Columbus
Consolidated Government is the only government in Muscogee County. With the
submission of the update to the community's comprehensive plan, we are now
obligated to update this strategy.
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

Recommendations/ Actions

Service Delivery Strategy for the Columbus Consolidated Government.
