UPDATED SERVICE DELIVERY STRATEGY FOR

o A. Our Strategy continues to accurately reflect our preferred arrangements for providing local services throughout our
county and no changes in our Strategy are needed at this time; or
o B. Our Strategy has been revised to reflect our preferred arrangements for providing local services.
If Option A is selected, only this form, signed by the appropriate local government representatives must be provided to DCA.
If Option B is selected, this form, signed by the appropriate local government representatives, must be submitted to DCA along
with:
. an updated "Summary of Service Arrangements" form (page 2) for each local service that has been revised/updated;
· any supporting local agreements pertaining to each of these services that has been revised/updated; and
· an updated service area map depicting the agreed upon service area for each provider if there is more than one service
provider for each service that has been revised/updated within the county, and if the agreed upon service areas do not
coincide with local political boundaries.
2. Each of our governing bodies (County Commission and City Councils) that are a party to this strategy have adopted
resolutions agreeing to the Service Delivery arrangements identified in our strategy and have executed agreements for
implementation of our service delivery strategy (O.C.G.A. 36-70-21);

geographic boundaries of a service provider are reasonable and are not arbitrarily higher than the fees charged to customers
located within the geographic boundaries of the service provider (O.C.G.A. 36-70-24 (2));
5. Our service delivery strategy continues to ensure that the cost of any services the county government provides (including
those jointly funded by the county and one or more municipalities) primarily for the benefit of the unincorporated area ofthe
county are borne by the unincorporated area residents, individuals, and property owners who receive such service (O.C.G.A.

located in the county to resolve land use classification disputes when the county objects to the proposed land use of an area to
