Cooperation: A Help in Providing Community Services

Abstract

If a community is unable to perform a needed public service by itself, it should explore the possibility of cooperating with other communities to provide that service. Small communities often do not have the money, personnel, or equipment to provide all needed public services on their own. Even if they can perform the function, they can often save considerable money and effort by cooperating with neighboring communities in providing some services. Cooperation can alleviate duplication, overlap, and fragmentation in the delivery of community services. It can lower costs to the individual communities in the process.
