Agenda Item # 1
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
01/08/2019
Agenda Report # 77
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: 2018 Service Delivery Strategy Renewal
INITIATED BY: Planning Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested to submit the update of the Service
Delivery Strategy for the Columbus Consolidated Government to the Georgia
Department of Community Affairs.
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: N/A
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.
Recommendations/Actions: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager
to submit the update of the Service Delivery Strategy for the Columbus
Consolidated Government.
A RESOLUTION
NO.
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TO SUBMIT TO THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY
AFFAIRS (DCA) THE SERVICE DELIVERY STRATEGY UPDATE.
WHEREAS, DCA requires that every county government complete a Service Delivery
Strategy; and,
WHEREAS, a Service Delivery Strategy was completed in 1998 and 2008 and
requires the update of certain strategies.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
That the City Manager is hereby authorized to submit such documentation as
needed to update the Columbus Consolidated Government? Service Delivery
Strategic Plan.
