2016 Journal of Local Government Shared Service Best Practices

Abstract

As a result of the 2015 Task Force on Unfunded Mandates and Government Consolidation, CGS assisted the Lieutenant Governor’s office in conducting a survey of best practices in shared services among Illinois local governments. Two surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2017, documenting examples of local collaboration and resource sharing underway in school districts, municipalities, townships, and special districts.
