  • Erie County Municipality Population Changes, 2000 to 2017
    Erie County Municipality Population Changes, 2000 to 2017 August, 2018 Erie County Department of Health 606 West 2nd Street Erie, PA 16507 Telephone: 814-451-6700 Website: ECDH This report was prepared by Jeff Quirk, Epidemiologist ([email protected]). The primary sources of data and information for this report are the Erie County Department of Health and the United States Census Bureau. Background: From 2000 to 2010, Erie County’s population remained level at around 280,000 residents. However, since 2010 the county’s population fell by over 6,000 residents, with losses occurring for the past five consecutive years (Figure 1). This report details the population changes that have taken place among the county’s 38 municipalities for the period 2000-2017. Figure 1 284,000 281,502 282,000 281,288 280,843 280,566 280,647 280,000 279,351 278,111 278,000 276,321 Population 276,000 274,541 274,000 272,000 2000 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Erie County’s 38 municipalities include 2 cities, 14 boroughs, and 22 townships. These municipalities vary greatly in total population and size (land area). In 2017, municipality populations ranged from a low of 209 residents in Elgin Borough to a high of 97,369 in the City of Erie, while land areas ranged from a low of 0.3 square miles in Wattsburg Borough to a high of 50.0 in Waterford Township. From an overall numbers perspective, 12 municipalities increased in population since 2000 (Table 1, Figure 2). Harborcreek Township experienced the largest gain with an increase of 2,225 residents.

  • Challenge of Defining a National Urban Strategy in the Context of Divergent Demographic Trends in Small and Large Canadian Cities
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Western Washington University The challenge of defining a national urban strategy in the context of divergent demographic trends in small and large Canadian cities Gilles Viaud, Department of Geography, CURA – Quality of life indicator researcher, Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, V2C 5N3. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Once forgotten as an object of research, a growing literature dealing with various aspects of small cities has emerged since the new millennium. The answer to the question “does size matter?” has so far received positive empirical support on both sides of the Atlantic. Using the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) three quality of life studies as backdrop, this paper offers further evidence that small Canadian cities are worth our attention. Since 1999, FCM has extrapolated results from its series of quality of life studies carried out on a sample of large and medium sized cities to monitor key changes in the quality of life of Canadian urban residents. Conclusions drawn from these studies have been used to define a common Canadian municipal agenda which identifies air pollution, public transportation, affordable housing, homelessness, social inclusion and integration, and community safety and security as some of Canada’s key urban policy priorities. Following the evolution of a number of key demographic indicators in larger and smaller Canadian cities between 1996 and 2006, this research questions whether the municipal agenda derived from FCM’s quality of life studies offers a fair and just reflection of the reality and of the public policy priorities of smaller urban municipalities.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Natural Resources Journal by an authorized editor of UNM Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. COUNTY REGULATION OF LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT In New Mexico, a county is "a body corporate and politic."' It should not be equated with a municipal corporation, being in the strictest sense distinguishable from such a corporation, but rather is more correctly termed a quasi-municipal corporation. It has only such powers as are expressly or impliedly given to it by constitutional or legislative provisions. 3 As originally adopted in 1911, the New Mexico Constitution was silent as to the powers of counties. In the ensuing years it has been amended to allow for the formation of two special types of counties constitutionally having powers at least as broad as those of municipalities. 4 However, only one specialized county has yet been authorized 4a-and no others appear likely in the near future-so that with this one exception all counties existing for the next few years are likely to remain dependent on legislative grants for their powers.5 By statute, all counties are empowered: First.

  • Municipal/County/Local Governmental Immunity and Tort Liability in All 50 States
    MATTHIESEN, WICKERT & LEHRER, S.C. Hartford, WI ❖ New Orleans, LA ❖ Orange County, CA ❖ Austin, TX ❖ Jacksonville, FL Phone: (800) 637-9176 [email protected] www.mwl-law.com MUNICIPAL/COUNTY/LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY AND TORT LIABILITY IN ALL 50 STATES “Governmental immunity” concerns itself with the various legal doctrines or statutes that provide municipalities, local government entities, and political subdivisions immunity from tort-based claims, as well as exceptions from and limitations to that immunity. Generally, a state government is immune from tort suits by individuals under the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Local governments, municipalities (cities), counties, towns, and other political subdivisions of the state, however, are immune from tort suits by virtue of governmental immunity. This is because the state grants them immunity, usually in the state’s Constitution. This chart deals with governmental immunity and liability of municipal, county, and local government in all 50 states. It should be noted that lawsuits against local governmental entities, their officers, and employees are frequently asserted under federal law, e.g., 42 U.S.C. § 1983, or other similar statutes. This chart deals only with the separate body of law governing claims against local governments. It does not cover federal claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) (28 U.S.C. § 2674) or claims of negligence against state governments, the latter of which is the subject of another chart that can be found HERE. The broader doctrine of sovereign immunity traces its common law origins to the notion that the king made the laws, and thus anything the king did was perforce legal.

  • Green Paper on Territorial Cohesion Input from Oppland County
    Green paper on Territorial Cohesion Input from Oppland County Municipality, Norway Introductory remarks Oppland County Municipality welcomes the initiative from the European Commission. It highlights some of the many challenges faced by European regions and marks a starting point for a more coherent and future-oriented regional policy. This new policy should ensure that European territorial diversity is turned into a competitive advantage and contributes to the sustainable development and prosperity of Europe as a whole. Even though regional policy is not a part of the EEA agreement, the development in the EU countries will have an impact on Norwegian regions, and we appreciate the possibility to give our comments on the content of the green paper. Short description of Oppland County Oppland County is located in Eastern Norway, covers an area of 25 192 km2 and has a population of 183 637. The population density is only 8 inhabitants per km2, while the average in Norway is 16. Oppland is the only county in Norway without coastline or border to another country. Oppland is a mountain region - only 5109 km2 of the total area are below 600 meters above sea level. Next to Switzerland, Norway is the most mountainous country in Europe. The Norwegian mountain regions are sparsely populated, and the population is decreasing. This trend has grave consequences for the economic development in these regions. There are great distances between rural areas and urban centres in Norway, and this fact creates many challenges for transport, communications and access to social services. EU’s role in promoting territorial cohesion For the future of Europe and the European Union it is important to promote economic growth and development in the new member states.
