  • Background Report on the Use and Impact of Food Assistance Programs on Indian Reservations
    Electronic Report from the Economic Research Service United States Department www.ers.usda.gov of Agriculture Background Report on the Contractor and Cooperator Use and Impact of Food Report No. 4 Assistance Programs on January 2005 Indian Reservations By Kenneth Finegold, Nancy Pindus, Laura Wherry, Sandi Nelson, Timothy Triplett, and Randy Capps, The Urban Institute ERS project representative: Victor Oliveira, [email protected], 202-694-5434 Abstract The report reviews existing data sources and prior research on six programs operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that provide food assistance to American Indians living on or near reservations. The purpose of the review is to help identify future research needs and opportunities to exploit administrative data systems and recurring national surveys. The programs covered are the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), the Food Stamp Program (FSP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Research topics of continuing importance include the impacts of reservation food assistance on health and nutrition, the characteristics that make nutrition education effective on reservations, the dynamics of program participation, and the contribution of tribal administration to program coordination. This report was prepared The Urban Institute under a cooperative assistance agreement with the Economic Research Service.

  • 49.8 Changes in Precincts. After Any Required Changes in Precinct
    1 METHOD OF CONDUCTING ELECTIONS, §49.8 49.8 Changes in precincts. After any required changes in precinct boundaries have been made following each federal decennial census, at the time established by or pursuant to section 49.7, the county board or city council shall make no further changes in precinct boundaries until after the next federal decennial census, except in the following circumstances: 1. When deemed necessary by the board of supervisors of any county because of a change in the location of the boundaries, dissolution or establishment of any civil township, the boundaries of precincts actually affected may be changed as necessary to conform to the new township boundaries. 2. When territory is annexed to a city the city council may attach all or any part of the annexed territory to any established precinct or precincts which are contiguous to the annexed territory, however this subsection shall not prohibit establishment of one or more new precincts in the annexed territory. 3. A city may have one special federal census taken each decade and the population figures obtained may be used to revise precinct boundaries in accordance with the requirements of sections 49.3 and 49.5. 4. If city population data certified by the United States bureau of the census following the federal decennial census is revised and the revision is certified by the United States bureau of the census, such revisions may be used to revise precinct and ward boundaries in accordance with the requirements of sections 49.3 and 49.5. The board of supervisors shall determine whether such revised population data affects the population equality of supervisor districts.

  • Ward Councillors and Community Leadership a Future Perspective Saffron James and Ed Cox
    Ward councillors and community leadership A future perspective Saffron James and Ed Cox An exploration of how the role of ward councillors in England is likely to develop over the next fi ve years. This has become a pressing issue for many councillors and councils in the context of current legislative and policy changes affecting local government. The research explores how the role of ward councillors is changing today and how it is likely to develop. It captures the views of current councillors, council offi cers and community organisations about the skills and support ward councillors need to adapt to a new role, and the short- and long-term obstacles to change. The aim of the report is to make a practical contribution to the debate about the future role of ward councillors. The report explores: n aspirations for the ‘ideal’ ward councillor role, including councillors’ involvement in community leadership and strategic decision making n short-term issues that present challenges for the development of new councillor roles, including the skills and support councillors will need to make the transition to new ways of working n the way local authorities, political parties and communities currently work with elected members, and the obstacles to improving these working relationships, many of which are dependent on changes to the culture of local authorities and local political groups.

  • A Review and Comparison of Georgia's Three Largest Consolidated Governments
    A REVIEW AND COMPARISON OF GEORGIA’S LARGEST CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENTS The term “consolidation” is generally used to mean the merger of two governments into one (usually a city and a county), also referred to as “full governmental consolidation.” In a full governmental consolidation, an entirely new countywide government is created, the existing city and county governments are abolished and all the services and departments of the former city and county are consolidated within that new government. Consolidation may also be used to describe a partial merging of services or departments, what is commonly referred to as “functional consolidation.” The 1983 Georgia Constitution authorizes the state legislature to provide for “the consolidation of the governmental and corporate powers and functions vested in municipalities with the governmental and corporate powers and functions vested in a county or counties in which such municipalities are located….” (Article 9, Section 3, Paragraph 2) Georgia currently has seven consolidated governments, more than any other state. This report examines the three largest consolidated governments in the state of Georgia: Columbus-Muscogee County, Athens-Clarke County, and Augusta-Richmond County. The forms of government, size of the governing bodies, election districts, manner of elections, issues that prompted the decision to consolidate, and subsequent issues and changes to the consolidated government are reviewed and analyzed below. Methodology The history, current data, information about policy issues, and opinions about consolidation expressed in this analysis of the three consolidated governments were gathered through interviews with current and former elected and appointed officials and staff in each of the three governments as well as individuals actively involved in the consolidation efforts; a review of the consolidation charter; and news stories and historical documents related to the consolidation process.
