Regional summit set for March 26
The following letter is going out this week from Butler County commissioners to every local elected official in the county. This is the kickoff of the regional summit Commissioner Gregory Jolivette is proposing.
As of this writing, the Web site listed isn’t running. What suggestions do you have on how local governments can share resources to save money?
Here is the text of the letter:
Subject: Regional Cooperation Among Local Government
The multiplicity of local government services creates an opportunity to look for mutual ways to eliminate duplication, improve efficiency, serve the public and reduce government costs. A discussion about reformation of local government is timely due to the condition of local and national economies. While the Federal Government economic stimulus package calls for additional spending, local governments will still be plagued with state budget reductions and apathy for changes in the local tax rates.
As result, it is mutually beneficial to engage in discussion about opportunity that might exist to find ways to share resources and save money as we “work better together”. In order to create a backdrop for a conversation to take place, we invite you to attend a Regional Summit to discuss these issues.
We are designating Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 6:30 PM a conference in the Butler County First Floor Conference Room to listen to and discuss the topic of “work better together”.
Prior to this date, we would like to hear from office holder, citizens, and relating to suggestions and comments for regional cooperation. You can forward suggestions and comments to www.butlercountyohio.org by clicking the ICON “work better together”. Once you access the “work better together” web page, please click the link and complete the “Survey on Regional Cooperation”. Finally, there is an e-mail link on the page to forward any comments or suggestions.
We sincerely appreciate and value your attendance and participation at the Summit Meeting on March 26, 2009. If you are interested in being a presenter during this meeting, please contact Timothy R. Williams, Butler County Administrator at 513-887-5647 or email at williamst@butlercountyohio.org. See you there.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO
