Hartford, seen from the MetLife blimp, is now at the center of a
sprawling 38-town region encompassing nearly 1 million people. (Patrick
Raycraft / The Hartford Courant / June 19,
2013)
Editorial
7:21 p.m. EDT, June 30, 2014
If there were no such thing as history, Greater Hartford probably would be one municipality. There might be villages or boroughs here and there, but there'd be one chief executive and one legislative body.
That of course did not happen; the region evolved from fervently local Congregational parishes into a quiltwork of small cities and towns. For a long time these independent home-ruled municipalities weren't inclined to work together in many meaningful ways. But in recent years, that has begun to change.
The ancient Puritan sense of localism has been tempered by the Yankee sense of thrift. The towns in Greater Hartford have begun to gain economies of scale by expanding the geographical base on which some governmental services are performed — in other words, to act more like a region.

The opportunity for better regional coordination takes a step forward today as Connecticut continues to reduce the number of planning regions from 15 to nine, with a goal of eight. As of today, the Capitol Region Council of Governments will expand to 38 towns with nearly 1 million people, a not-insignificant region.
The next steps will be key in how the region progresses in the 21st century.
Quiet Progress
The region has always had a certain level of regional activity, such as the Metropolitan District Commission, the regional sewer and water authority. CRCOG has quietly made a lot of progress in sensibly increasing regional coordination over the past decade or more. Projects completed or in the works include regional police communication, online building permits, purchasing, regional animal shelters, electronic document management and connecting towns to the statewide broadband Nutmeg Network, among others.
This is progress. Having every town perform every service is a luxury we can no longer afford. Plus, does anyone really care where their tax bill, garbage truck or rideshare van comes from, as long as it gets there?
Why look for more regional efficiency? Please. Town budgets are strained. Last week CNBC ranked Connecticut 46th in its "Top States For Business" survey. In the subcategories, Connecticut does well in education (fifth) and quality of life (14th), but very poorly in cost of doing business (47th). Part of the reason we are a high-cost state for business is taxes, and the highest share of taxes paid by businesses in the state — just over a third — is property taxes. Regional efficiency could lower that burden, and thus increase competitiveness.
Balance
Should we buck history and do away with towns? No, in a word. People like their towns, and they provide opportunities for civic involvement that larger cities often can't. The key is to deliver services at the level where it is most efficient. The goal should be to keep what we like about towns but make the region work better.
CRCOG should continue its push for shared or regional services, where it makes sense. Consider public safety. Greater Hartford's Homeland Security District has 41 towns with 56 separate fire departments. Does that make sense? Or transportation. Rail, bus and bike corridors rarely stop at town lines; working together could mean a better network. If the region had been planning the CTfastrak busway, it probably wouldn't have taken 16 years. Letting CRCOG manage regional transportation could free the state Department of Transportation to focus on the big stuff.
Though it may be a stretch, CRCOG ought to open a discussion of regional property tax sharing, as is done in Minneapolis and a handful of other regions. The point there is to remove the incentive for towns to compete with each other for taxpaying businesses. Hartford shouldn't be competing with Windsor or Rocky Hill, Greater Hartford should be competing with Phoenix, Charlotte and other metro regions.
We're not there yet; if we were, the proposed Hartford baseball stadium would be a regional project.

Merge Connecticut's Towns Into Eight Cities
By BARRY ZITSER The
Hartford Courant
7:08 p.m. EDT,
March 26, 2014
Take the cities of Jacksonville,
Fla.; Nashville, Tenn.; Suffolk Va.; Anchorage, Alaska; Indianapolis,
Ind.; Augusta, Ga; Louisville, Ky.; and Butte, Mont., and stitch them
together. What do you get?
Connecticut.
If you combine the population and area of these cities, you have
approximately the same population and area of Connecticut, except in
eight rather than 169 municipalities. I suggest that eight
municipalities would be vastly more efficient and less expensive than
169 towns.
Connecticut never had a history of strong county government. In the
late 1950s, at a time when the role of regional governments in other
states was beginning to increase, Connecticut abolished the remaining
limited functions of its eight county governments. Given the
extraordinary changes in the economy since the 1950s, as well as the
substantial increase in state and local services, it is time to revisit
the wisdom of having 169 relatively small cities and towns vs. perhaps
eight larger municipal entities.
Some of the benefits of municipal consolidation are obvious. Fewer
municipalities result in fewer department heads, such as police and fire
chiefs, town clerks and assessors, educational superintendents, social
services heads, etc. Eight municipalities would have more bargaining
power to secure less costly contractor services and construction, as
well as fewer and more uniform labor contracts.
Municipal and educational facilities could be more optimally located
to maximize resources and personnel. Detroit-like bankruptcies, or
inadequate services in financially distressed areas, could be minimized.
Worthwhile goals may be more achievable. For example, despite the
magnificent effort to create magnet schools, true desegregation in our
small urban centers remains largely illusory.
This does not mean that larger has no downside. Accountability and
personal contact might be lessened at the local level. However, modern
telecommunications has made government more accessible. Connecticut also
has hundreds, if not thousands, of villages, boroughs and neighborhoods
that have retained their identity despite having little or no
governmental authority, and there is no reason to believe that these
local interests will not continue. We can keep what we like about our
towns — the civic and community groups, events and activities — and
give up the heavy expense.
Smaller government units can be better justified when they have the
resources that can make them self-sustaining. When my grandparents came
to this country from Russia, U.S. factories, affordable housing and mass
transportation were often located in relatively small geographical
areas, such as Hartford or New
Haven, so it made sense to have a local government for these places.
But the world has changed, dramatically. Most factories are gone,
many people have moved to the suburbs, commuting patterns crisscross the
state's metropolitan regions. Though towns are seamlessly connected to
one another, they have different tax rates and compete with one another
for development. It wastes a lot of time, opportunity and energy when
our metro regions are in competition with other metros around the world.
There's a practical way to evolve to larger, more efficient municipal
governments in Connecticut. The state's 15 regional planning areas are
being consolidated to eight — that number again — and each will be a
council of governments, a deliberative body composed of the town's chief
elected officials. The largest of these, the Capitol Region Council of
Governments, has already begun providing some services on a regional
basis.
Continue the process, so that the region becomes the city and the
council of governments becomes in effect the new city council, with at
least one representative from each of the geographical areas of the
former towns, adjusted slightly to meet the constitutional
one-person-one-vote standard. The new municipalities could equalize the
property tax rate over a 10-year period, taking that factor out of the
equation for business location, hopefully resulting in businesses
locating where they can benefit the entire region.
This change might require an amendment to our state constitution.
Given the magnitude of these changes, the amendment process with a
statewide referendum would be appropriate. Connecticut Yankees can
certainly be trusted with the last word in determining what is in their
own best interests. There is nothing so sacrosanct about the form of
local governments that they should be exempt from a determination of
whether they most efficiently meet the needs of our citizens.

http://ctbythenumbers.info/2013/05/06/achieving-efficiency-in-human-services-delivery-proves-elusive-for-state/
Perhaps this is why they call it bureaucracy.
Even when the goal is more family-friendly, responsive and efficient
operations, it requires the following: a presentation to the
Governor’s Cabinet on Nonprofit Health and Human Services from the state
legislature’s Bi-Partisan Municipal Opportunities & Regional
Efficiencies (M.O.R.E.)
Regional Entities Sub-Committee Human Services Working Group. It
occurred, without fanfare, at the State Capitol on May 6, 2013.
The subject: a proposal now being considered by
the state legislature to do what many in the room described as implementing
a provision of law that generally dates back to the last century, circa
1992, that has been sitting on a shelf, as State Rep. Tim Bowles described
it, waiting for just the right convergence of administration and legislature
to take another crack at insisting on implementation. Bowles viewed
its original creation from the vantage point of the Office of Policy and
Management, where he worked during the Weicker administration.
The plan, updated for 2013: re-align the
“service boundaries” of a series of state agencies in order to make them
more easily navigable for families with troubled or challenged youth who
can, at times, find themselves dealing with as many as 16 agencies and
nonprofit organizations for necessary services,
requiring a nightmare of navigation through agency after agency.
The state agencies involved: the Department of Social
Services, Department of Developmental Services, Department of Children and
Families, Department of Mental Health and Addition Services would adjust
their geographic boundaries to create six service delivery areas that align
with the six Regional Education Service Centers boundaries – thus bringing
human services and education into geographic alignment, no easy task
according to those gathered to discuss the proposal.
The initiative is embodied in House
Bill 5267, approved by the Human Services Committee and now awaiting
House action. It’s stated goal: “to establish an integrated
human service delivery system to ease access for consumers and reduce
inefficiencies.”
As was noted during the meeting, the bill omits the
Department of Public Health from the list of participating agencies.
It also lays out a relatively aggressive time line for implementation –
especially weighed against two decades of delay – including a plan to be
submitted by 2014 that would include consolidation of office space,
relocation of staff, implementation of one-stop services for referrals to
services. The one-stop centers would be required at half of agency
office locations by December 2015, and the remainder by the following year.
All of which makes the stated expectation, in response to questioning by
dubious Cabinet members, that the plan implementation would move
slowly – taking as long as a decade – even more curious, and seemingly
inconsistent with the language of the bill.
The Office of Fiscal Analysis could not provide a
fiscal impact for the planned service coordination, which also includes
common information technology development. The Office of Legislative
Research report underscores the imperative for better coordination and
collaboration by describing the status quo: DCF has six regions
covering the state. DDA and DSS each have three regions covering the
northern, southern and western parts of the state, but DSS maintains either
a large regional office or a sub-office within the larger regions.
DMHAS has five service regions.
The Regional
Educational Services Centers (RESC), whose boundaries would be mirrored
by the other agencies, were created more than 30 years ago to “furnish
programs and services” to Connecticut’s public school districts.
RESC works with DCF, DMHAS, DMR, DPH, DSS, the Department of Corrections,
Department of Education and Board of Education & Services for the Blind
on statewide issues.
The M.O.R.E. Human Services Working Group proposals
also calls for “the establishment of pilot Regional Human Service
Coordination Councils consisting of elected officials, representatives from
DSS, DDS, DCF, DMHAS, DOC, ED, PH, Workforce Development Boards,
Non-Profits, and Family Advocacy groups to coordinate regional efforts and
continue studying and implementing more efficient service delivery.”
The Governor’s Cabinet
on Nonprofit Health and Human Services was established in September of
2011 to analyze existing public-private partnerships with respect to the
state’s health and human services delivery systems and to make
recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of those systems in regard to
client outcomes, cost-effectiveness, accountability and sustainability.

When scholar and author Xiangming Chen came to Trinity
College several years ago to found the school's Center for Urban and
Global Studies, he discovered that not much had been written about Hartford
and other mid-sized cities in New England.
He and graduate student Nick Bacon recruited a dozen writers, most but
not all academics (I contributed a chapter) and produced a book about
Hartford, referencing some other of New England's second-tier cities.
"Confronting Urban Legacy — Rediscovering Hartford and New England's
Forgotten Cities" (Lexington Books) is just out. If you would like to
become better versed about the place where you live, this would be a place
to start.
The book covers commerce, education, immigration and sprawl (bad!), among
other things. I'll focus on two recurring themes in the city's rise and
fall: its manufacturing base and its size.
Hartford was the first major inland settlement in the colonial U.S. and
comprised about 87 square miles including what today are the towns of West
Hartford, East
Hartford and Manchester. Trinity historian Andrew Walsh notes — in a
really first-rate chapter — that "just about every significant event
or trend in the nation's history has left its mark here."
Not least among them was the U.S. Industrial Revolution. Hartford became
an industrial powerhouse. Its factories, along with its banks and insurance
companies, made it one of richest cities on the continent in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. The city we see today, minus the unfortunate
highway incursions, "was largely built from 1870 to 1930 as a
manufacturing city where factory workers lived in tight-packed neighborhoods
within walking distance of their jobs."
In 1950, there were still 30,000 manufacturing jobs within the city
limits. But the rapid erosion of manufacturing jobs over the next 30 years
would spell doom. As the factories emptied, the surrounding neighborhoods
"slipped further and further into poverty," a problem the city had
to deal with largely by itself.
And yet, white-collar jobs increased, though most of those workers were
moving out of the city. So in the late 20th century, Walsh writes, Hartford
presented a double face to the world — an increasingly poor core city in a
fundamentally prosperous metropolitan region."
It's hard to know what might have prevented this; typewriter factories,
once a Hartford staple, were going to close whether they were in Hartford,
Boston or San Francisco.
For all of its remarkable achievement in the last two centuries, Hartford
missed a step that might have made a huge difference — it never had the
power to annex adjoining land. The colonial city of 87 square miles became a
city of 18 square miles as surrounding communities broke off and
incorporated as separate towns.
In 1950, as Jason Rojas and Lyle Wray observe, Hartford was comparable in
size to Nashville, Tenn., (22 square miles) and Raleigh, N.C., (11 square
miles). By 2000, Nashville was 69 square miles and Raleigh had grown to 473
square miles. Hartford's boundaries hadn't budged and now define the
smallest core city in any major metropolitan area in the country, Bacon
reports.
The New York architect and planner John Carrere, who authored Hartford's
1912 city plan, assumed Hartford would expand to include the new growth
outside its boundaries. A golden opportunity presented itself when the
Metropolitan District Commission was created in 1929. The legislature
granted the MDC a charter enabling it to perform planning and zoning
functions as well as providing water and sewer services.
But the planning part never took hold because of opposition from suburban
towns. No one counted on the intense localism, perhaps reflective of the
region's Puritan founders, in Connecticut towns.
So Greater Hartford, Rojas and Wray conclude, is a "combination of
its core city's extreme smallness and the anarchic subdivision of the rest
of the of the region into an absurdly large number of tiny, but politically
separate, municipalities."
Many urban problems are inherently regional. Greater Hartford is not
structured to deal with much of anything beyond water and sewer on a
regional basis. That's a problem. Rojas and Wray offer a bold yet sensible
solution, which I will discuss in a future column.

Regional
Action Councils
A Regional Substance Abuse Action Council
is a legislatively created public-private partnership comprised of
community leaders. Its purpose is to establish and implement a
strategic plan to develop and coordinate needed substance abuse
prevention and mental health promotion services in the subregion. The
members of the Regional Action Council serve as volunteers assisted by
professional staff. Members include representatives of major community
leadership constituencies: chief elected officials, chiefs of police,
superintendents of schools, major business and professional persons,
legislators, major substance abuse service providers, funders, minority
communities, religious organizations and the media.
Regional Action
Councils do not to provide direct prevention or treatment services to
clients. Thus, they will not dilute or compromise their service
development and coordinating role nor become competitive with existing
service providers for scarce service-related dollars. The services
they include provide:
-
Community
mobilization
- Grant
collaboration
- Substance
abuse awareness, education and prevention initiatives
- Media
advocacy
- Program
development
- Legislative
advocacy
- Leverage
funds for local initiatives
- Community
needs assessment through surveys, data collection and trainings
DMHAS
provides funding annually for core administrative support and
coordination of prevention initiatives. The Regional Action Council
generate additional resources to support services needed in the
subregion.
Legislative
Mandate
The management objectives of a Regional Action
Council (RAC):
-
To conduct a data driven needs and resource
assessment for the subregion to identify gaps in services along the
continuum of care (including community awareness, education, primary
prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare).
-
To develop a biannual report
that includes epidemiologic profiles of substance use/abuse, problem
gambling, and suicide, subregional priorities, and recommendations
for changes to the community environment and programs that fill
identified gaps and will reduce substance abuse by changing the
community environment and to submit such report
to DMHAS.
-
To conduct fund-raising activities to fill gaps
identified in the RACs report.
-
To conduct activities to implement the initiatives
identified in the report.
-
To conduct activities to promote visibility for the
Regional Action Council (but not to provide direct services).
-
To conduct at least four meetings per year.
-
To maintain RAC membership as described under
Section 17a-671 (b) of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Prevention
Core Functions
The prevention core functions listed below include the
strategic focus of DMHAS:
-
Support DMHAS
planning and development of community prevention services utilizing
school survey results, other local needs assessment data,
science-based technologies.
-
Support, develop
and implement strategies outlined in the Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ)
alcohol and tobacco initiatives using 25% of
DMHAS funding to support alcohol and 25% on tobacco prevention
activities.
-
Serve as a esource Center to local constituents.
-
Participate in Learning Communities and other forums
as requested by DMHAS.

Regions
Regional Council of Governments of Connecticut
The dissolution of county governments in 1960 created a vacuum of
power at the regional level, which created problems when it came to land
use and infrastructure planning. Because the power once reserved for
county governments was now in the hands of municipal administrations,
major land use, environmental, and infrastructure issues often pitted
one town against another, resulting in little or no progress.
Complicating this, the state constitution delegates a large portion of
the state's authority to the towns. That means a major multi-town
project could be completely derailed if only one of the affected towns
opposes the project, since the project would require each affected town
to issue its own permits for the portions within its territory. This has
often led to long and costly lawsuits between towns that support a
regional-scale project and those opposed.
In an effort to resolve these conflicts, the State of Connecticut
passed legislation in the 1980s establishing 15 regional councils, which
cluster towns with similar demographics into an administrative planning
region, instead of adhering to the old county structure. These regions
are:
Unlike county governments, the authority of regional councils is
limited to land use policymaking, infrastructure development, emergency
preparedness, and long-term planning for population and economic changes
for the communities within their respective jurisdiction. The regional
councils have no taxing authority; they are financed by funds from the
state and member towns.
Regional councils also have some limited law enforcement authority.
If approved by the regional council, member towns can put forth a
portion of their law enforcement resources to create regional task
forces to combat organized
crime and drug
trafficking. With assistance from the Connecticut
State Police and FBI,
several regions have established such task forces. The Northern
Connecticut Gang Task Force, Bridgeport Violent Crimes Task Force, and
New Haven Safe Streets Gang Task Force are such examples.[3]

Status Report
Analysis of the Boundaries of Logical Planning Regions
http://www.ct.gov/opm/cwp/view.asp?a=3019&q=532674
Introduction
Connecticut’s planning regions provide a geographic framework within which municipalities can jointly address common interests, and coordinate such interests with state plans and programs. State statutes authorize the secretary of the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) to designate or redesignate the boundaries of logical planning regions. The member municipalities of each planning region are authorized under state statutes to establish a formal governance structure.
Statutory Requirement
Section 16a-4c of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS), as amended by Section 249 of Public Act 13-247, requires OPM to conduct an analysis of the boundaries of logical planning regions by January 1, 2014, and at least every twenty years thereafter. A provision of the statute allows any two or more contiguous planning regions that agree to voluntarily consolidate and begin the process of forming a single council of governments to be exempt from OPM’s analysis, provided the secretary formally redesignates the consolidated region prior to January 1, 2014. OPM has conducted outreach to each regional planning organization (RPO) and consulted with all of the entities prescribed by statute.
Upon completion of OPM’s analysis, the secretary must notify the chief executive officer (CEO) of each municipality located in a planning region in which the boundaries are proposed for redesignation. Within thirty days of such notice, the CEO of the municipality may appeal the proposed redesignation by petitioning the secretary to attend a meeting of the legislative body, in order to provide an opportunity for the legislative body to inform the secretary of its objections. Every effort must be made to schedule such meetings within sixty days of the petition, but in no event shall any meeting take place later than two hundred ten days after the secretary’s original notice. Within sixty days after the meeting, the secretary shall notify the CEO of OPM’s determination concerning the proposed redesignation.
The boundaries of planning regions resulting from OPM’s analysis and subsequent municipal appeals process shall be effective January 1, 2015.

EDITORIAL
State's New Region Plan Echoes Former County Setup
Editorial The Hartford Courant
7:40 p.m. EDT, October 29, 2013
In the late 1950s, Connecticut did away with its eight counties, but created a regional planning framework with 15 planning regions. It turns out that eight may have been the magic number.
There's been a growing consensus in recent years that 15 planning regions were too many in a state the size of Connecticut. (California has 17.) New laws required the state's Office of Policy and Management to conduct an analysis of the boundaries of the planning regions toward the goal of creating more logical and efficient regions, to go into effect on Jan.1.
After considering such things as commuting patterns, census data, watersheds and commercial density, the agency released its status report on Oct. 1, and lo and behold, it recommends the state have eight planning regions.
It's actually too early to tell whether the new regions will come close to replicating the old counties. A provision of the law allows contiguous regions to consolidate voluntarily, and to be exempt from the OPM remapping. One such consolidation is complete and another is almost complete, bringing the number of regions down to 13. One or two more might be in the works.
In addition, all the regions will become regional councils of government. At present, some are, and some are not.
The planning regions are a footprint in which towns can jointly address common issues and interests. The regional planners have traditionally worked in such areas as land use, transportation and economic planning. Some regions have been more successful than others. The hope is that with fewer regions and more resources, which the state is providing, the regions will be able to ramp up such things as shared services and other forms of regional cooperation.
What this change does not do is create common service delivery areas for state agencies. At present there are hundreds of different service regions for different agencies and services. Officials feel that untangling these will take time, and want to start with more logical planning regions.
It's a meaningful first step, to be sure. Region efficiency provides an opportunity to bring down the cost of government and make the state more competitive. We don't necessarily need the old counties; we do need their modern equivalent.

 The
Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is a leading resource for key issues concerning
the use, regulation, and taxation of land. Providing high quality education and
research, the Institute strives to improve public dialogue and decisions about
land policy.

© Public Policy Research Institute, April
15, 2008
A growing number of land-use
issues transcend political and jurisdictional boundaries. These issues are most
effectively addressed at a regional scale, somewhere between local, state, and
national levels. During the past few years, people from many walks of life have
experimented with a variety of regional approaches to land-use issues. While
some of these initiatives augment existing government institutions, others are
more ad hoc in nature. Whether formal or ad hoc, regional initiatives involve
people with diverse interests and viewpoints in collaborative forums—public
spaces that would not otherwise exist to solve common problems. Although there
is no single model or approach to regional collaboration, several principles
have emerged to help people think and act regionally. These principles should be
adapted to the unique circumstances of each place or region.
Principle # 1 – Focus on a
Compelling Purpose or Interest (Catalyst)
Most people are unaccustomed to
working across boundaries. We tend to focus on the tasks immediately in front of
us, within our small sphere of influence. Anything beyond that is “someone
else’s responsibility.” Our social and political arrangements further
discourage working beyond our individual silos. Regional collaboration becomes
compelling when people recognize that they are more likely to achieve their
interests by working together than by acting independently. The objectives of
regional collaboration may include one or more of the following:
(1) building knowledge and
understanding;
(2) building community (or a sense
of place and regional identity);
(3) sharing resources;
(4) providing input and
advice;
(5) advocating for a particular
outcome;
(6) resolving disputes;
and/or
(7) governing.
Far from being mutually exclusive,
these different objectives reinforce one another, and suggest a natural
progression from knowledge- and community-building to advocacy and governance.
To begin a regional initiative, focus on things that people are predisposed to
do.
Principle # 2 – Organize around
Collaborative Leaders (Leadership)
Regional initiatives require a
certain type of leadership. In contrast to exercising authority by taking
unilateral action—a command-and-control model of leadership— regional
stewards readily cross jurisdictions, sectors, disciplines, and cultures to
forge alliances with diverse interests and viewpoints. They invite people to
take ownership of a shared vision and values, and they work hard to bridge
differences and nourish networks of relationships. To move in the desired
direction, regional stewards share power and mobilize people, ideas, and
resources. In the midst of this action, they provide integrity and credibility,
and advocate for the integrity of regional partnerships. They also show a high
tolerance for complexity, uncertainty, and change. They emphasize dialogue and
building relationships by respecting the diversity of ideas and viewpoints.
Respect builds trust, which in turn fosters communication, understanding, and
eventually agreement. In short, regional stewards practice “regional
leadership.”
Principle # 3 – Mobilize and
Engage the Right People (Representation)
To be effective, regional
initiatives must engage the right people and build a constituency for change. If
your objective is to advocate for a particular interest or outcome, that will
require a different group of people than if you are trying to resolve a
multi-party dispute or address a multi-jurisdictional issue. In the latter
cases, you should seek to be as inclusive as possible—engaging people who are
interested in and affected by the issue; those needed to implement any potential
recommendation (i.e., those with authority); and those who might undermine the
process or the outcome if not included. Think carefully about the roles and
responsibilities of existing jurisdictions and agencies, and keep in mind that
there may be people outside the region who need or want to be involved.
Principle # 4 –Define the Region
to Match People’s Interests (Regional
Fit)
How people define a region
naturally flows from their interests and concerns. Regions are most often
defined in one of two ways—one rooted in a sense of place, the other based on
a certain function or the “territory of the problem.” Natural ecological
boundaries—such as watersheds, ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and so on—can
help inform the appropriate definition of a region, but in the final analysis,
the region must engage the hearts and minds of people, and appeal to their
shared interests. The precise boundaries of a region are often less important
than clarifying the core area of interest. Boundaries can be soft and flexible,
adaptable to changing needs and interests. In sum, the region needs to be large
enough to capture the problem, and small enough to get traction.
Principle # 5 – Assemble the
Necessary Resources (Capacity)
To collaborate on a regional
scale, people need to be able to jump start the process, and also sustain it
over time. The capacity to initiate and sustain regional collaboration hinges on
four types of essential resources: leadership, a constituency for change,
organization, and technical information.
Leadership comes in many forms.
Some leaders are catalysts, others may be visionaries, some are good at
motivating and empowering people, and some are conductors—assembling people
and resources into a well-orchestrated team. The team itself is the people who
are willing to speak up and work for change. It is important to find people who
will consider other perspectives and negotiate in good faith toward mutually
satisfying ways of addressing the issue at hand. It’s also essential to engage
people who have good organizational skills—the ability to manage mailing
lists, phone trees, planning materials, and budgets. Finally, most efforts to
resolve regional issues rely on mountains of varied technical information. To be
credible, it helps to gather and interpret this information as a group, through
joint fact finding or a similar process.
In some cases, these resources
must be developed from the ground up, from scratch.
But the more common experience is
to borrow or leverage the resources of existing groups already working in the
region. In fact, most regions already have the capacities for leadership,
change, organization, and technical information—these resources simply need to
be identified and better coordinated. The following diagnostic questions can
help assemble the necessary resources:
• What resources (people,
skills, information, funds) are needed/available to work
across boundaries?
• Where can we find additional
resources?
• Who can help identify sources
of funds and assistance?
• How can available resources be
used to stimulate more interest in the project?
Principle # 6 – Jointly
Determine Where You Want to Go and How You
Want to Get There (Strategy of
Action)
People facing a regional problem
or issue usually want to roll up their sleeves and get right to work. But it’s
well worth taking a little time up front to jointly articulate desired outcomes
and map out practical strategies to achieve those outcomes. Such a strategy of
action is built around a shared vision for change. People negotiate among their
desired outcomes until they have a package that everyone can agree on. Then they
negotiate options for how to make those outcomes happen.
Every regional enterprise is
unique, varying according to site-specific conditions, the nature of the issue,
and the needs and interests of the people affected by the issue.
Consequently, the most effective
strategies of action are homegrown—they are developed by and for the people
concerned about a particular region. Developing such a strategy is an important
step—it ensures that people are working toward a clearly stated and agreed
upon goal, and it spells out specific steps and tools for reaching that goal. A
well-drafted strategy also allows people to assess their progress against the
stated goals, adapt methods as needed, and document success.
Principle # 7 – Move from Vision
to Action (Implementation)
The objective at this point is to
strategically translate civic will into political will.
Participants can start by
understanding how the proposed regional action supplements other relevant
efforts. Then, they need to communicate their message to appropriate audiences,
making it relevant and compelling. They need to demonstrate to political leaders
and other decision-makers that the political capital to be gained is greater
than any political risk they may take in supporting the action. Outreach should
rely on multiple strategies to inform, educate, and mobilize people (such as
media, public events, publications, web sites). Participants should also think
carefully about linking their effort to established decision-making systems.
Seek access to power—rather than power itself—by building bridges,
coordinating actions, and doing things that would not otherwise get done.
Principle #8 – Learn as You Go
and Adapt as Needed (Evaluation)
Taking action should be followed
by evaluating what was accomplished. This “civiclearning” provides the
political momentum to follow-through on difficult problems. In some cases, there
may be a need to sustain regional collaboration. Participants should begin
by capturing, sharing, and celebrating their accomplishments, thereby
reinforcing a sense of regional identity. Then, it may be valuable to revise and
renew the mission, adapting to new information, opportunities, and problems.
Participants will also need to identify and develop the capacities to sustain
the regional initiative—people (both current and new members), resources
(money and information), and organizational structure.
Principle #9 – Sustain a
Regional Initiative (Governance)
After a region has come together,
crafted a vision, and taken action, it is often faced with the question of
whether there is a need to sustain the regional initiative. If the answer is
yes, a region may decide to maintain a simple network to facilitate
communication and exchange information. In other situations, it may make sense
to create a more formal partnership by negotiating some type of compact or
otherwise integrating regional efforts into existing institutions. Another
option is to create a new organization –either a new regional agency with
governing or regulatory power, or a non-government entity that can serve as a
convener and coordinator for future regional work. The more formal the governing
arrangement, the more likely a region must address questions about who should be
involved in the regional agency; what is the scope and purpose; and how will
decisions be made and disputes resolved. Given the variation in the objectives
of regional initiatives, it is not surprising that several different governance
models have emerged. The bottom line is that the governance structure must be
“homegrown,” it must designed to meet the needs and interests of people
within the region.
