The NYS Commission on Local Government Efficiency & Competitiveness is looking at them. Residents are talking about them. Elected officials need to start implementing them.
Initiatives designed to streamline government and make the delivery of services less costly to the taxpayers.
In Nassau County, the Commission's initiatives include:
- Water System Infrastructure: Analyzing possible consolidation of all water districts and private water companies in the county
- Parks/Road Maintenance: Exploring options for efficient maintenance of parks and roads
- Consolidation of Sanitation Districts: Examining whether existing sanitation services could be provided by three town-run sanitation districts rather than multiple independent sanitation districts
- Library District Consolidation: Exploring creation of a countywide public library district to replace the current decentralized system and achieve greater efficiencies, while enhancing or maintaining current service levels
- Sharing/Consolidation of School District Back Office Functions: Studying options for school districts to share and consolidate administrative functions, including non-public school transportation, maintenance, bonding, insurance services, printing/graphics and other functions
- Sewer System Infrastructure Consolidation: Exploring consolidation of county’s remaining sewer collection and services and infrastructure
- Special District Restructuring: Seeking to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of commissioner-run special districts
- Fire District Collaboration: Proposing that the Long Island Regional Planning Board explore governance of fire districts regionally in Nassau and Suffolk Counties
