Intergovernmental Cooperation
Towns, Cities and Villages and their associated utilities and districts often provide services to a wider area and deal with issues that cross municipal boundaries. Especially in this era of tightening budgets, intergovernmental cooperation may be necessary or desired to maintain high quality services and solve complex problems.
Trilogy consultants have extensive experience working on intergovernmental cooperation issues, ranging from water and sewer service agreements to joint storm water utilities, funding plans for regional amenities, and municipal and service consolidation studies.
Our focus for intergovernmental issues is finding organizational and funding structures that are fair and equitable to all parties. While we are not mediators, we take the approach of viewing issues from all perspectives in order to determine the recommended course of action.
