Over the years, intergovernmental coordination has involved such as activities as working with neighboring communities on projects of mutual interest, participating in intergovernmental forums and programs, and assessing the potential impact of projects on adjacent communities. Some of the primary intergovernmental coordination tools currently used by the city of Augusta include those outlined below. These and other tools will be considered in developing the Community Agenda. Service Delivery Strategy – In 1999, Augusta-Richmond County, Hephzibah and Blythe developed a Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) in compliance with the Georgia Service Delivery Strategy Law (House Bill 489 – 1997). The adopted SDS includes a summary of service delivery agreements among the three local governments, copies of applicable agreements and contracts, and maps of applicable service delivery areas. The SDS is designed to promote effectiveness, cost efficiency, and funding equity in the delivery of essential public services. The SDS also includes an Agreement to Resolve Land Use Classification Disputes. The agreement spells out an intergovernmental review process for proposed zoning or land use map changes affecting property within 1,000 feet of a common boundary. In March 2004, the three local governments reviewed the original SDS and determined that it continued to accurately reflect the preferred arrangements for providing local services throughout Richmond County. The SDS will be reviewed and updated as necessary in 2008.
