Authority Effectiveness Report
Edwards Aquifer authority, Texas
Tom Green County recognized that, in order to deliver on the promise of an unmatched quality of life for its residents, a diverse network of parks and recreational opportunities would be needed. To advance this strategy, while protecting the community’s cost-of-living, the County recognized that a strategic approach, with a diverse set of funding streams would be critical.
Our SmarterLocalGov team worked with the County to establish a vision for its parks and open space programming, develop strategies to advance the community toward its vision, and created action plans to move the strategies forward. The Plan was approved by Texas regulators, and has supported the County in accessing a wide range of state grant funds.
Village Dissolution Plan
LYONS, NEW YORK
The Village of Lyons, New York was challenged by a declining population and diminishing revenues to support the provision of local government services and facilities. Village residents considered the possibility of dissolving, and transitioning the responsibility of government to the Town of Lyons, but needed an analysis of dissolution impacts to support their decision.
The SmarterLocalGov team developed a full analysis of the financial and operational impacts of dissolution of the Village. Our team reviewed the financial trends associated with staffing, equipment, programming, infrastructure, and debt; and helped the community’s stakeholders understand the level of service impacts associated with transitioning to a Town-managed local government. Ultimately, residents voted to dissolve the Village, largely based upon the findings of our work.
