Right now, the Ohio Commission on Local Government Reform and Collaboration is developing recommendations on ways to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local government operations to achieve cost savings to taxpayers and to facilitate economic development.
The work of the commission focuses on three areas:
- Identification of options for encouraging and incentivizing local government to collaborate
- Identification of local tax structure changes which would encourage collaboration or improve service effectiveness
- Identification of current/alternative service delivery models
The commission actively encourages government officials, residents and others to share recommendations and best practices—either in writing or by participating in their meetings/public hearings. The next such event takes place February 26 at Malone University in Canton.
