This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Toho Water Authority, along with reasons for its creation,
the issues that had to be resolved,
formation of the Authority, and the evolution from Authority Partnership to Regional
Partnerships. Presentation observations indicate the following: regional cooperation is possible when government officials can
recognize and acknowledge that resolution of a problem
cannot be accomplished alone;
competition between entities and/or parochial or go it alone
approaches to problems are inefficient use of limited resources
and will most likely delay a solution;
a willingness to develop a partnership and engage in
consensus decision-making can result in a productive
relationship and a regional solution;
compromise is an essential component in regional
cooperation; and, when governments focus on providing service and
engage in cooperative consensus building problem
solving with a willingness to compromise in the
best interest of serving their constituents, practical
and cost effective regional solutions will emerge
and be embraced.
