Forms of “Government Organization” shape the quality and character of a community’s economy and environment. A government structure provides communities with legal and financial mechanisms to construct and maintain infrastructure and manage public services. Local government organizations take many forms and include special districts, cities, counties, and regional organizations.
EPS’s services often are required as a part of Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) proceedings (in California) or negotiations between existing entities involved in reorganizations or common purpose efforts. These proceedings and efforts include the formation of new government entities including municipal incorporation, annexations, special district formations, and joint exercise of powers organizations. As a part of its work, EPS typically prepares detailed pro forma budget forecasts for the new jurisdiction, documentation of alternative organizational options, and estimates of impacts upon existing entities.
