City-County Cooperation Award
City-County Cooperation Award
Working Together for a Better Community
The Texas Municipal League (TML) and the Texas Association of Counties (TAC) recognize the importance of interlocal cooperation. The City-County Cooperation Award program is designed to recognize Texas cities and counties that are working together to meet the challenges of local governments. Innovative problem-solving, excellence in management, increasing citizen participation, and reaching toward higher service levels are all examples of the ways cities and counties are working together.
This awards program seeks the best of these programs for public recognition. It is through the recognition of the best of the best that all Texas cities and counties can share and learn from these achievements. Local government in Texas is the best in the nation and deserves recognition!
The competition is designed to allow joint city-county projects to compete with other similar projects throughout the State of Texas. The awards program will focus on joint projects that encompass a wide variety of innovative, intergovernmental approaches to city and county government management.
Winners of the 2008 City-County Cooperation Awards will be recognized at: (1) the Texas Municipal League Annual Conference, which will be held October 28-31, 2008, in San Antonio; (2) the Texas Association of Counties Annual Conference, scheduled for August 27-29, 2008, in Austin; and (3) the Texas Association of Regional Councils Annual Conference (the Texas Conference on Regionalism), to be held October 1-3, 2008, in Corpus Christi.
