  • Environmental Policy, Municipalities and Intergovernmental Cooperation in Brazil Estela Maria Souza Costa Neves
    Environmental policy, municipalities and intergovernmental cooperation in Brazil ESTELA MARIA SOUZA COSTA NEVES FFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL policies are indispensable for the sus- tainability of long-term development for meeting both domestic chal- E lenges and the so-called global issues. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of environmental governance in Brazil through the exploratory analysis of the relationship between municipalities and envi- ronmental policy strategies developed by the Federal Government, from the perspective of the Brazilian federative state. The central argument presented herein holds that in Brazil, for an impor- tant number of topics on the environmental agenda, the success of the initiatives promoted by the federal government depends to some extent on the adhesion of municipalities. Since 1988, endowed with the status of federated entities and enjoying unprecedented autonomy, municipalities can contribute to the failure of federal initiatives by not subscribing to said initiatives, especially these require the exercise of their exclusive powers and the allocation of their own resources. Nationwide public policies promoted by central governments require the involvement of local government actors either to tailor policy objectives and regulations to local specificities, harmonize conflicting priorities, or optimize the use of increasingly scarcer public resources. The structure of intergovern- mental relations is a crucial factor for the success of public policies implemented at central level, especially the promotion of the mutual and enriching adaptation of national and local perspectives (Villanueva, 2000, p.40). The importance of the participation of local governments, however, is not restricted to the host of benefits pointed out in the literature about the ad- vantages of localized state action - such as increased efficiency, less corruption, promotion of direct democracy practices, greater social control, transparency and greater capacity to meet local specificities and preferences.

  • Glossary of Terms Commonly Used in Municipal Finance
    Glossary of Terms Commonly Used in Municipal Finance Abatement: A complete or partial cancellation of a tax bill imposed by a governmental unit; applicable to tax levies and special assessments. Appropriation: An authorization granted by a legislative body to make expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. An appropriation is usually limited in amount and the time when it can be expended. Any amount that is appropriated may be encumbered. A warrant article appropriation is carried forward from year to year until spent for the designated purpose or transferred by town meeting vote to another account. Assessed Valuation: The value placed upon a particular property by the local Board of Assessors for the purpose of apportioning the town’s tax levy among individual property owners equitably and in accordance with the legal requirement that property be assessed at “full and fair cash value”, certified periodically by the Commonwealth’s Commissioner of Revenue (no less frequently than once every three years). Available Funds: Balances in the various fund types that represent non-recurring revenue sources. As a matter of sound practice, they are frequently appropriated to meet unforeseen expenses, for capital expenditures or other onetime costs. Examples of available funds include free cash, stabilization funds and overlay surplus. Audit: Work done by accountants in examining financial reports, reviewing compliance with applicable laws and regulations, reviewing effectiveness in achieving program results. A basic audit examines only the financial reports and legal compliance. An outside Certified Public Accountant (CPA) audit is directed primarily toward the expression of an opinion as to the fairness of the financial statements and submission of a management letter.

  • Municipality Defined
    MSU Local Government Center Handbook Highlight from the Montana Municipal Officials Handbook 1.102 Municipality Defined Authoritative sources define the American municipality as having four essential characteristics, each of which is considered in detail in sub-section 1.103 immediately below. To exist as a municipality in the United States the entity must have: 1. Law making authority authorized by the state; 2. Legal personality such that it can sue and be sued and hold and dispose of property; 3. A local court that enforces local law and 4. A defined territorial area. However, in Montana law, a municipality is defined simply as an entity that incorporates as a city or town (7-1-4121(9), MCA). Interestingly enough, this language sometimes causes confusion in as much as none of Montana’s 129 presently incorporated municipalities can produce a document that even resembles the “articles of incorporation” that would usually define the purpose, structure and officers of a private corporation. In Montana, a city or town is brought into existence as a public corporation either directly by an act of the state legislature or indirectly pursuant to law enacted by the state legislature. The first ten Montana communities to become incorporated municipalities were “incorporated” by an act of the Territorial Legislature during the period between 1864 (when Virginia City was incorporated) and 1885 (when Billings was incorporated). Later, communities that met the statutory criteria for incorporation and that wished to form a city or town government were brought into existence (i.e. became incorporated municipalities) by local elections that were conducted pursuant to the laws enacted by the Montana State Legislature.
