Making government more efficient and cost-effective is the idea behind a new effort to change how county governments could operate in Ohio. But unlike last year's failed effort to limit union rights, two bills being pitched by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio don't address workers rights or compensation. Instead, they give counties more options to consolidate government functions, including reducing the number of elected offices.
COLUMBUS -- Counties urged lawmakers Wednesday to give them the same ability employed by universities and regional transit authorities to more cost-effectively upgrade outdated government buildings. The County Commissioners Association of Ohio has embraced a concept pushed by Lucas County that would allow them to sell their buildings to a private developer and then enter into a long-term lease for the space while the developer renovates and modernizes the building to county-set standards.
XENIA -- The county commissioners will hold a public work session Tuesday regarding the merger of Greene County Children Services with the county's jobs and family services agency. The executive director of Ohio Jobs and Family Services Directors' Association, Joel Potts, and representatives from the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and the Public Children Services Association of Ohio will be at the 10 a.m. work session to answer questions from the commissioners.
COLUMBUS -- Until they see more details, county officials aren't ready to embrace Ohio's plan to keep thousands of low-level, nonviolent criminal offenders out of state prisons and punish them via less costly methods. We are skeptical as to whether it'll work or if there is adequate money to support treatment programs and alternative sanctions," said Larry Long, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio.

DAYTON -- The call for changes in how Ohio's counties operate is gaining urgency as officials in cash-strapped cities and counties look for cost savings and fear cuts in state funding. Earlier this month, the County Commissioners' Association of Ohio said the state Legislature should allow counties to have a regional coroner and dog warden, and the group is studying the need for further consolidation across county lines.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders of Ohio's local governments say the substitute version of the state budget bill released Thursday (HB 153) cutting $8 billion, or 17 percent, from the budget continues shifting unfair and disproportionate cuts to local communities statewide. The proposed 50 percent reduction in the Local Government Fund, elimination of the estate tax on Jan. 1, 2013, and the phase out of the Tangible Personal Property tax and utility tax sharing until July 1, 2013, when the phase out would be suspended, impose unmanageable cuts on local governments. Community leaders say the original budget of Gov. John Kasich and Thursday's revision just shift the burden to local government entities to find new revenue sources or drastically cut local safety and hu...

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders of municipalities, townships, park districts and Ohio's 88 counties have formed the Local Government Fund Coalition (www.everyohioan.com) to help preserve vital services provided to every Ohioan. The Coalition is dedicated to informing legislators and Ohio residents about the impact of large-scale and disproportionate reductions in the Local Government Fund as the state addresses its large budget deficit. Taxpayers, the Coalition says, will face significant service reductions or will have to make up the difference with additional local taxes and fees.
