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. -
Cles Scholars on the Move
INTERACTIVE NAVIGATION Editorial Dear Reader, It’s almost surreal that we are already in the third quarter of the year. With less than five months left of 2019, we certainly hope that you have had just as exciting, productive, informative and adventure-filled few months as the CLES-team has had. We are therefore glad to be able to let you in, in the second issue of CLES InPress, on the activities that went down here at CLES. As you will see, the CLES team has been travelling nationally and internationally, adding much value to our research. There have been many developments in the realm of cities, law, and environmental sustainability in the last few months. South Africa recently submitted its first Voluntary National Review (VNR) on its progress in the implementation of Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development. Significant progress has been made on the implementation “We are excited for of SDG 11 in making the first CLES and cities and human SALGA Annual National settlements inclusive, Postgraduate Student safe, resilient, and sustainable. However, Conference ” the VNR points out that fragmentation remains an issue of concern. The City of Cape Town has been in the news for a variety that they are made up of warm bodies who see to the of reasons, including fighting for a right to purchase effective functioning of duties extending beyond mere power from independent power producers (IPPs) rather service delivery. It is often underestimated how much than solely from Eskom, and the drafting of a beach goes into the day-to-day functioning of municipalities by-law for the protection of its coastline. -
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 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. -
The Case of the Amathole District Municipality
SUSTAINED POOR AUDIT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF THE AMATHOLE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY Jacobus S Wessels, Makhosandile H Kwaza and Edwin Ijeoma Sponsored by the European Union under the NSG's Public Service Training & Capacity Building Programme Disclaimer: 'This publication was produced with the financial support of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union' 1 SUSTAINED POOR AUDIT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF THE AMATHOLE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY Jacobus S Wessels1, Makhosandile H Kwaza2 and Edwin Ijeoma3 ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that reliable financial statements and credible reporting on the activities of government institutions are necessary for the continued improvement of their services to the public. Within the South African context, the Auditor-General of South Africa recently reported that only a few municipalities obtained clean audit reports. In fact, the drive towards clean municipal audit outcomes initiated by the South African government in 2009 evidently failed. Subsequently, this study set out to obtain a deepened understanding of why municipalities repeatedly fail to achieve clean audit outcomes. For this purpose, the Amathole District Municipality and its constituted local municipalities were selected as a case for this study. The reviewed material consisted of a rich collection of audit reports, annual reports, regulatory documents, and a wide variety of other official documents. In addition, the findings of a survey amongst municipal officials and councillors also informed this study. As a result, enduring and deep-rooted systemic leadership deficiencies, financial and performance management restraints, and ineffective and inefficient governance structures were revealed. -

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.
