    Collaboration

    “101 Definitions of Collaboration”
    • Collaboration means working

    across boundaries and in multi-
    organizational arrangements to
    solve problems that cannot be
    solved – or easily solved – by
    single organizations or
    jurisdictions.

    3

    SES Survey Results: 304 Members
    • 304 out of 305 use collaboration as a leadership and

    management strategy
    • Why? [in order of importance]

    • Explicit mandates
    • Implicit mandates (culture/values)
    • Improve outcomes
    • Improve problem-solving processes
    • Build better relationships and credibility

    4

    Three Types of Collaboration Most Often
    Mentioned in Literature

    (From a review of over 200 articles)

    Interorganizational

    Group of
    Individuals

    Public
    Participation

    5

    Example: Interorganizational
    • Metropolitan Alliance of Community Centers (MACC)
    • Coalition of 13 human service organizations in Minneapolis-St. Paul
    • Competitors collaborated for funding
    • Shared resources in finance, human resources, technology

    6 (Source: www.e-parc.org and www.maxwell.syr.edu/parc/eparc)

    [http://www.e-parc.org/](http://www.e-parc.org/)

    Example: Group of Individuals
    (also includes workplace team)

    • Young Professionals Network for the Arts
    • Purpose: Develop the next generation of civic arts leaders
    • Bring together volunteer oriented young professionals to build arts

    above ground and below ground infrastructure in central Florida.

    7 (Source: www.e-parc.org and www.maxwell.syr.edu/parc/eparc)

    [http://www.e-parc.org/](http://www.e-parc.org/)

    Example: Public Participation
    • Collaborative budgeting in Menlo

    Park, California (“Your City/Your
    Decision”)

    • Phase One: Survey
    • Phase Two: Community Workshops
    • Findings: Community preference for

    combined approach of cost
    reductions, taxes, and fee increases
    (not reduction or service
    elimination).

    Collaborative Public Management:
    What is it?

    Collaborative public management
    is a concept that describes the

    process of facilitating and operating
    in multiorganizational arrangements

    to solve problems that cannot be
    solved or easily solved by single

    organizations.

    9 Agranoff and McGuire

    Networks

    10

    • Can be formal or informal
    • Public goods or services planned,

    designed, produced and delivered
    • Public, private, non-profit

    Structures of interdependence, involving
    multiple nodes – agencies and

    organizations – with multiple linkages

    #3 Why the Growth of Collaborative Public
    Management?

    • Most public challenges are larger than one organization
    • New approaches to addressing public issues
    • Doing more with less
    • Technology is flattening hierarchy
    • Changing views of leadership and management
    • Greater role for public

    11

    #4 Major Challenges

    • All networks/collaborations are not created equal
    • Motivation to collaborate varies
    • Collaboration not always wise
    • Trent toward short-term “couplings”
    • Calls for new management and leadership strategies and skills
    • Paradox: Collaboration can yield conflict

    12

    The Complexity of
    Organizational Networks

    13

    • Networks are interorganizational
    and interpersonal

    • Multiple members
    • Members bring both disparate and

    common missions
    • Each network organization has a

    different organization culture
    • Each network organization has a

    different method of operation

    The Complexity of Organizational Networks

    • Network organizations usually have different stakeholder groups and
    different funders

    • Network members have different degrees of power
    • Often multiple issues
    • Multiple forums for decision-making
    • Variety of governance structures available to networks
    • Conflict within network and the public

    14

    #5 Paradox

    • Those who work in networks must work both with autonomy and
    interdependence.

    • Members and networks have both common and diverse goals
    • Members work with both a smaller number and a greater variety of

    groups
    • Members need to be both participative and authoritative

    15

    #6 Some Factors Affecting the Success of
    Collaborations

    • Context
    • Purpose and Mission
    • Member Selection and Capacity Building
    • Motivation and Commitment of the

    Collaborators
    • Structure and Governance
    • Power

    16

    • Accountability
    • Communication
    • Perceived Legitimacy
    • Trust
    • Information Technology
    • Personal Attributes of Collaborators
    • Other?

    #8 The Leadership Challenge

    • More than 90% of global executives surveyed by the Center for Creative
    Leadership said collaboration is vital for leadership success.

    • But less than half of those same executives said the leaders in their
    organizations were actually good at it.

    17

    #9 The Leadership Challenge

    18

    “Leading when you are not in charge”

    The Leadership Challenge

    19

    Solutions often transcend the position of any single participant

    Salamon (2005) “…[S]hifts the emphasis from management skills and the
    control of large bureaucratic organizations to enablement skills, the skills

    required to engage partners arrayed horizontally in networks, to bring
    multiple stakeholders together for a common end in a situation of

    interdependence.”

    #10 Skills Needed to Collaborate Across
    Boundaries

    • Facilitation
    • Collaborative problem solving
    • Conflict management
    • Negotiation
    • Individual Attributes
    • Strategy/Vision
    • Substantive/Technical Skills

    20

    When Not to Collaborate

    • When there are no common goals and benefits
    • When support structures are weak
    • When there are people problems that cannot be overcome
    • When there are process problems

    21

    Example: Public Participation
    • Collaborative budgeting in Menlo

    Park, California (“Your City/Your
    Decision”)

    • Phase One: Survey
    • Phase Two: Community Workshops
    • Findings: Community preference for

    combined approach of cost
    reductions, taxes, and fee increases
    (not reduction or service

    Collaborative Public Management:
    What is it?

    Collaborative public management
    is a concept that describes the

    process of facilitating and operating
    in multiorganizational arrangements

    to solve problems that cannot be
    solved or easily solved by single

    organizations.

    9 Agranoff and McGuire

    Networks

    10

    • Can be formal or informal
    • Public goods or services planned,

    designed, produced and delivered
    • Public, private, non-profit

    Structures of interdependence, involving
    multiple nodes – agencies and

    organizations – with multiple linkages

    #3 Why the Growth of Collaborative Public
    Management?

    • Most public challenges are larger than one organization
    • New approaches to addressing public issues
    • Doing more with less
    • Technology is flattening hierarchy
    • Changing views of leadership and management
    • Greater role for public

    11

    #4 Major Challenges

    • All networks/collaborations are not created equal
    • Motivation to collaborate varies
    • Collaboration not always wise
    • Trent toward short-term “couplings”
    • Calls for new management and leadership strategies and skills
    • Paradox: Collaboration can yield conflict

    12

    The Complexity of
    Organizational Networks

    13

    • Networks are interorganizational
    and interpersonal

    • Multiple members
    • Members bring both disparate and

    common missions
    • Each network organization has a

    different organization culture
    • Each network organization has a

    different method of operation

    The Complexity of Organizational Networks

    • Network organizations usually have different stakeholder groups and
    different funders

    • Network members have different degrees of power
    • Often multiple issues
    • Multiple forums for decision-making
    • Variety of governance structures available to networks
    • Conflict within network and the public

    14

    #5 Paradox

    • Those who work in networks must work both with autonomy and
    interdependence.

    • Members and networks have both common and diverse goals
    • Members work with both a smaller number and a greater variety of

    groups
    • Members need to be both participative and authoritative

    15

    #6 Some Factors Affecting the Success of
    Collaborations

    • Context
    • Purpose and Mission
    • Member Selection and Capacity Building
    • Motivation and Commitment of the

    Collaborators
    • Structure and Governance
    • Power

    16

    • Accountability
    • Communication
    • Perceived Legitimacy
    • Trust
    • Information Technology
    • Personal Attributes of Collaborators
    • Other?

    #8 The Leadership Challenge

    • More than 90% of global executives surveyed by the Center for Creative
    Leadership said collaboration is vital for leadership success.

    • But less than half of those same executives said the leaders in their
    organizations were actually good at it.

    17

    #9 The Leadership Challenge

    18

    “Leading when you are not in charge”

    The Leadership Challenge

    19

    Solutions often transcend the position of any single participant

    Salamon (2005) “…[S]hifts the emphasis from management skills and the
    control of large bureaucratic organizations to enablement skills, the skills

    required to engage partners arrayed horizontally in networks, to bring
    multiple stakeholders together for a common end in a situation of

    interdependence.”

    #10 Skills Needed to Collaborate Across
    Boundaries

    • Facilitation
    • Collaborative problem solving
    • Conflict management
    • Negotiation
    • Individual Attributes
    • Strategy/Vision
    • Substantive/Technical Skills

    20

    When Not to Collaborate

    • When there are no common goals and benefits
    • When support structures are weak
    • When there are people problems that cannot be overcome
    • When there are process problems

    Disasters and
    Intergovernmental Relations: Part III

    Fiscal Relationships –
    Federal, State, and Local Governments

    PADM 804 – IGR AND IGM

    Dr. Harry McGinnis

    State constitutions and statutes generally limit how much revenue cities and counties may raise through local taxes. Those limits are usually tied to the amount of assessed property value and the amount of debt that the local government has assumed.

    Property “tax revolts,” such as Proposition 13 in California in the 1980s which still requires a 2/3 vote of the state legislature for new taxes, have made it very difficult for state and local governments to raise taxes for even essential services like road and bridge repair.

    Because local governments are limited in how much tax revenue they may raise and how much they can borrow, most revenues are earmarked for public education, law enforcement, and a few other essential services. As a result, there may be little money to spend on emergency management and little flexibility to use money collected for other purposes.

    State transfers of revenues to local governments have not kept pace with the expanding responsibilities of local officials. The issue of “unfunded mandates,” meaning delegations or mandates of responsibility for programs or policies without transfers of money to finance the efforts. Local governments are being expected to provide many services, like building code enforcement, for which they lack financial resources and technical expertise.

    Similarly, small local government agencies, particularly volunteer fire departments, have complained about having to have training on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) when they have very limited time, other more pressing priorities, and few resources.

    Because of limited tax authority and transfers of money from state governments to local governments, as well as from the federal government to state and local governments, many governments at all levels are becoming more creative. New revenue sources frequently include:

    User fees – for those receiving a service.

    Impact fees – for developers and others who may increase the risk to public health or safety or increase the costs of services delivered by state or local governments.

    Dedicated, limited-term sales taxes such as 1-2 cent sales taxes earmarked for particular programs and for specified periods of time.

    The lease of excess or temporarily unused government facilities or land.

    The sale of excess or unneeded government property or services, such as surplus office equipment.

    A surtax on business and other licenses, permits, and approvals, such as approval of building permits (to mention only a few of the creative options).

    Trust funds – for specific purposes. For example, emergency management trust funds have been set up by a number of states with funding provided by fees on property owners, surcharges on insurance policies, taxes on local governments based on population, and/or other revenue sources to cover the costs of disasters that do not warrant a presidential disaster declaration and local emergency management budgets.

    As we learned in the earlier discussion of the intergovernmental system…

    There are fewer categorical grants to assist state and local governments, although FEMA and other agencies still provide technical assistance and some funding for training programs at the state level.

    The general revenue-sharing program that provided additional monies to support state and local services, offering local officials wide discretion in their use, ended in the late 1980s.

    Some federal programs (see Appendix A) are providing funding, training, and technical assistance to local responders who might become involved in a terrorist event involving nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological agents.

    The taxing authority of local governments has not been keeping up with the demands being placed on local officials and, even when authority has been expanded, it is very difficult to enact new local taxes; and state governments are transferring relatively little tax revenue to local governments to support essential public services, although there is greater pressure to provide more state financial support for public education.

    The taxing authority of local governments has not been keeping up with the demands being placed on local officials and, even when authority has been expanded, it is very difficult to enact new local taxes; and state governments are transferring relatively little tax revenue to local governments to support essential public services, although there is greater pressure to provide more state financial support for public education.

    The intergovernmental system is the context within which governments raise revenue, borrow, and spend to support policies and programs like emergency management.

    Emergency managers and emergency management agencies are often at a disadvantage in the budget process because much of the revenue raised is earmarked for particular purposes.

    The intergovernmental system and the federal and state budget processes are highly competitive, and emergency managers have to find influential friends in executive offices and on legislative committees, sell their programs to the public, and cultivate relationships with influential interest groups if they are to be successful.

    Federal funding is available for certain emergency management and Homeland Security activities. Table 3.1 (see Appendix A) includes the major grants available to state and local jurisdictions. Most are categorical grants, meaning that they have to be spent on specific narrow purposes. Some are “pass throughs” and go directly to local governments and others are sent to the state with state officials determine where they will be spent.

    Disasters and
    Intergovernmental Relations:

    Part I

    Roles of the Major Intergovernmental Actors

    PADM 804 – IGR AND IGM
    Dr. Harry McGinnis

    • The U.S. national emergency management system
    involves local, state, and federal government agencies
    and an array of special districts, public and quasi-public
    authorities, and public-private organizations.

    • Special districts or “special purpose” governments, such
    as school districts and water districts, generally have
    their own taxing and policymaking authority and may
    have their own emergency plans and procedures for
    dealing with hazardous materials and other hazards.

    • Public authorities, such as baseball stadium and
    basketball arena authorities, may also have their own
    revenue-raising authority and staff and resources to
    respond to emergencies.

    • Public-private organizations are typically set up to fund
    community activities through a combination of public and
    private sources and often have their own public safety offices
    and emergency procedures or contract for such services from
    public or private agencies.

    • Public colleges and universities, public hospitals and
    mental health facilities, and other “independent”
    government agencies often have their own police forces, first
    aid facilities, emergency plans and procedures, and even
    emergency operations centers to handle disasters.

    • If a hazard or disaster extends beyond the U.S. border, the
    emergency management system might also involve local,
    regional, or central government agencies in Canada, Mexico,
    and/or other neighboring nations.

    • The U.S. national emergency management system also involves
    nongovernmental organizations, including nonprofit and for-
    profit organizations that may participate at the national, state, or
    local levels.

    • Private individuals may also become involved in the national
    emergency management system as disaster volunteers, contributors
    of financial and other resources, and supporters of policies and
    programs that help manage environmental risks, facilitate disaster
    operations, or support relief and recovery efforts.

    • Local governments are generally the “first responders” to natural
    and technological disasters and, for minor disasters, may be wholly
    responsible for protecting lives and property.

    • The current political climate does not encourage an
    expansion of federal responsibility for emergency
    management or other policy problems, although there
    has been a long history of federal assistance to state and
    local governments and a general expansion of federal
    responsibility for environmental and other programs.

    • The intergovernmental system has undergone radical
    change since the founding of the nation. At some points,
    the federal government has had little or no responsibility
    for reducing natural and technological hazards and at
    others it has been very active in addressing hazards.

    • A brief overview of intergovernmental relations illustrates the expansion and
    contraction of federal responsibilities (Wright, 1983, Chapter 3):

    • Initially, the federal system was viewed as a “layer cake” with federal and state
    responsibilities relatively clearly defined (essentially with the federal government
    having only those powers and responsibilities specifically mentioned in the
    Constitution and all other powers reserved to the states). This is generally
    referred to as “dual federalism” and was characteristic of the conflict phase of
    federalism, and it has not been the dominant view of the federal system since
    the early 1800s.

    • From the mid-1800s onward, the federal role expanded in a variety of policy areas,
    including transportation (principally road building) and education (including the
    Morrill Land Grant Act that provided federal support to state land-grant
    universities), to aid state and local governments.

    • By the 1930s, with President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the relationship
    between federal and state officials became much more cooperative and the
    sharing of responsibilities more closely resembled a “marble cake.” The period
    between 1930 and 1950 became known as the period of “cooperative
    federalism.”

    • During the period of “cooperative federalism,” the federal government
    developed hundreds of programs to address the problems of the Great Depression
    and World War II. The federal government provided grants-in-aid to help state
    governments, and later local governments, finance specific projects.

    • By World War II, the federal-state relationship became much more
    interrelated, and mechanisms for coordinating efforts, such as the Advisory
    Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, were instituted.

    • Because federal policies were implemented by federal, state, and local
    officials within interconnected bureaucracies, a pattern of “picket fence
    federalism” developed. Federal grants were given directly to state and local
    agencies or were sent to governor’s or mayor’s offices as “pass throughs,”
    without being subject to review or reallocation.

    • Elected state and local officials often resented their lack of control over the
    spending of moneys transferred from federal agencies to state agencies.
    Program priorities were set in Washington, rather than in state capitals and
    city halls.

    • Federal, state, and local bureaucracies in policy areas like transportation
    developed strong administrative and political connections. Personnel often
    moved from one level to another within the “fence pickets” using their
    professional connections.

    • State and local agencies increasingly were structured like their federal
    counterparts, officials tended to be given the same job titles, and administrators
    developed similar value systems, including orientations toward particular policies.
    • Transportation departments at all levels tended to be oriented toward road

    building, rather than rail or air transportation; and
    • environmental protection agencies tended to focus on standard-setting as a

    means of regulating public and private actions, rather than focusing on
    negotiated pollution reduction programs (although that is changing now).

    • As the federal government assumed more responsibility
    for programs to address urban problems, poverty, civil
    rights, and other issues under President Lyndon B.
    Johnson’s Great Society initiative, the relationships
    among federal, state, and local officials became even
    more complex.

    • The expansion of federal programs was a response to the
    failure or inability of state and local governments to
    address the social and economic problems of cities, a
    reflection of the greater resources available to federal
    officials, and a result of strong political pressure put on
    Congress and the president to act.

    • Civil rights groups, social activists, environmentalists, and others found the members
    of Congress and officials in the executive branch more supportive of their concerns
    than members of state legislatures and other state and local officials.

    • This period of “creative federalism” was characterized by the setting of national
    goals by the federal government and the use of federal categorical grants to
    encourage state and local governments, as well as the private and nonprofit sectors,
    to implement the federal goals.

    • During the 1970s, state and local officials complained that the federal government’s
    use of categorical grants had “blackmailed” them into pursuing federal goals at the
    expense of their constituents’ needs. State and local officials sought greater
    flexibility to target funds where they felt the most need.

    • President Richard Nixon initiated his “new federalism” policies as a reaction
    against the use of categorical grants, strict federal control over goal setting,
    the lack of flexibility in spending federal funds, and the emphasis on urban
    problems of the Great Society programs.

    • The State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 created “general
    revenue sharing” that provided federal funding to state and local
    governments with few restrictions on how the money should be spent.

    • General revenue sharing became an immensely popular program because it
    expanded the fiscal resources available to state and local governments and
    reduced the need for state and local officials to seek tax increases.

    • President Nixon also consolidated categorical grant programs into a few “block
    grants” that provided funding in specified policy areas with more flexibility for
    state and local targeting of spending.

    • During the 1980s, President Reagan initiated a second “new federalism” and
    recommended that the responsibilities of the federal and state governments be
    sorted out through a “swap” of programs and the elimination of many categorical
    grant programs.

    • The Reagan “new federalism” initiative was met with opposition from state
    governors concerned with the high cost of Medicaid and other programs for
    which their governments were expected to take responsibility, big city mayors
    concerned about the proposed elimination of programs to address inner city
    poverty and other social problems, and a major recession that reduced tax
    revenues at all levels.

    Despite the unsuccessful proposal to “swap” programs, the
    Reagan Administration cut funding and eliminated many of

    the programs designed to address urban poverty, removed the
    mechanisms for regional coordination of planning, and

    generally reduced the federal role in social, economic, and
    environmental policymaking.

    The evolution of the intergovernmental system has fundamentally
    been based on differing views on:

    Supporters of each
    intergovernmental

    arrangement
    hoping that their
    preferred system
    will best protect

    and advance their
    own interests.

    Narrow Social Or Economic Interests

    The federal government
    should be very active in

    addressing social and
    economic problems

    State and local governments
    should have primary

    responsibility for addressing
    such problems.

    The Roles Of The Federal And State
    Governments

    Supporters of a broader
    federal role are more

    confident that their policy
    preferences will fare better at

    that level

    Supporters of a leading role
    for state governments are
    more confident that their

    policy preferences will fare
    better among state officials

    and legislators.

    Public Policy Choices

    The least government possible
    to ensure low taxes and little
    interference with their own

    social and economic pursuits

    Others preferring an active or
    “positive” role for

    government in addressing
    society’s problems (i.e., the

    “positive state”).

    The Role Of Government In General

    • Differing views on the federal system of government and
    intergovernmental relations result in differing perceptions of the proper
    roles of agencies like FEMA in managing hazards and disasters.
    • For example, some Americans prefer a very active network of federal,

    state, and local emergency management agencies engaged in
    reducing risk and protecting life and property;

    • Very little government, even when there are natural and technological
    risks, and more self-reliance – essentially an orientation toward local
    self-reliance with little outside help;

    • Particular policy options, like voluntary rather than government-
    mandated measures to reduce the risk of flood damage or
    government-backed all-hazards insurance to help individuals following
    a disaster; and/or

    • More reliance on community-based programs, with less federal and
    state oversight (to mention but a few of the political perspectives
    present in the U.S.).

    • The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
    (SARA) of 1986, on October 17, 1986, required (in Title III)
    governors to establish state emergency response commissions,
    create local emergency planning districts, and appoint local
    emergency planning committees (LEPCs).

    • The LEPCs were charged with developing appropriate
    emergency response plans, including identification of facilities
    and transportation routes for extremely hazardous materials,
    on- and off-site response procedures, emergency notification
    procedures, methods for determining the occurrence of a
    release and the affected area, evacuation routes, training
    programs, etc.

    Federal law also creates intergovernmental mandates,
    requiring action at the federal, state, and local levels.

    • Under the “Community Right-to-Know” provisions, facilities are
    required to notify the LEPC, the state emergency response
    commission, and the local fire department if seriously hazardous
    materials are being used, stored, or transported and to specify what
    kind of chemicals or materials are involved (by chemical and
    common names), amounts (ranges), locations, manner of storage,
    etc.

    • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitors the
    inventories of chemicals, the reporting process, and any toxic
    chemical releases (EPA, n.d.).

    • The provisions of SARA Title III ensure that federal, state, and local
    officials are aware of the presence of significant amounts of
    hazardous materials, can monitor threats to public health and safety,
    and have appropriate response plans. The information is also
    available to the public so that the hazards can be understood.

    • When FEMA was created in 1979, the objective was to coordinate
    federal disaster programs by facilitating executive control. The

    Disasters and
    Intergovernmental Relations: Part III

    Fiscal Relationships –
    Federal, State, and Local Governments

    PADM 804 – IGR AND IGM

    Dr. Harry McGinnis

    State constitutions and statutes generally limit how much revenue cities and counties may raise through local taxes. Those limits are usually tied to the amount of assessed property value and the amount of debt that the local government has assumed.

    Property “tax revolts,” such as Proposition 13 in California in the 1980s which still requires a 2/3 vote of the state legislature for new taxes, have made it very difficult for state and local governments to raise taxes for even essential services like road and bridge repair.

    Because local governments are limited in how much tax revenue they may raise and how much they can borrow, most revenues are earmarked for public education, law enforcement, and a few other essential services. As a result, there may be little money to spend on emergency management and little flexibility to use money collected for other purposes.

    State transfers of revenues to local governments have not kept pace with the expanding responsibilities of local officials. The issue of “unfunded mandates,” meaning delegations or mandates of responsibility for programs or policies without transfers of money to finance the efforts. Local governments are being expected to provide many services, like building code enforcement, for which they lack financial resources and technical expertise.

    Similarly, small local government agencies, particularly volunteer fire departments, have complained about having to have training on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) when they have very limited time, other more pressing priorities, and few resources.

    Because of limited tax authority and transfers of money from state governments to local governments, as well as from the federal government to state and local governments, many governments at all levels are becoming more creative. New revenue sources frequently include:

    User fees – for those receiving a service.

    Impact fees – for developers and others who may increase the risk to public health or safety or increase the costs of services delivered by state or local governments.

    Dedicated, limited-term sales taxes such as 1-2 cent sales taxes earmarked for particular programs and for specified periods of time.

    The lease of excess or temporarily unused government facilities or land.

    The sale of excess or unneeded government property or services, such as surplus office equipment.

    A surtax on business and other licenses, permits, and approvals, such as approval of building permits (to mention only a few of the creative options).

    Trust funds – for specific purposes. For example, emergency management trust funds have been set up by a number of states with funding provided by fees on property owners, surcharges on insurance policies, taxes on local governments based on population, and/or other revenue sources to cover the costs of disasters that do not warrant a presidential disaster declaration and local emergency management budgets.

    As we learned in the earlier discussion of the intergovernmental system…

    There are fewer categorical grants to assist state and local governments, although FEMA and other agencies still provide technical assistance and some funding for training programs at the state level.

    The general revenue-sharing program that provided additional monies to support state and local services, offering local officials wide discretion in their use, ended in the late 1980s.

    Some federal programs (see Appendix A) are providing funding, training, and technical assistance to local responders who might become involved in a terrorist event involving nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological agents.

    The taxing authority of local governments has not been keeping up with the demands being placed on local officials and, even when authority has been expanded, it is very difficult to enact new local taxes; and state governments are transferring relatively little tax revenue to local governments to support essential public services, although there is greater pressure to provide more state financial support for public education.

    The intergovernmental system is the context within which governments raise revenue, borrow, and spend to support policies and programs like emergency management.

    Emergency managers and emergency management agencies are often at a disadvantage in the budget process because much of the revenue raised is earmarked for particular purposes.

    The intergovernmental system and the federal and state budget processes are highly competitive, and emergency managers have to find influential friends in executive offices and on legislative committees, sell their programs to the public, and cultivate relationships with influential interest groups if they are to be successful.

    Federal funding is available for certain emergency management and Homeland Security activities. Table 3.1 (see Appendix A) includes the major grants available to state and local jurisdictions. Most are categorical grants, meaning that they have to be spent on specific narrow purposes. Some are “pass throughs” and go directly to local governments and others are sent to the state with state officials determine where they will be spent.

    Disasters and
    Intergovernmental Relations:

    Part I

    Roles of the Major Intergovernmental Actors

    PADM 804 – IGR AND IGM
    Dr. Harry McGinnis

    • The U.S. national emergency management system
    involves local, state, and federal government agencies
    and an array of special districts, public and quasi-public
    authorities, and public-private organizations.

    • Special districts or “special purpose” governments, such
    as school districts and water districts, generally have
    their own taxing and policymaking authority and may
    have their own emergency plans and procedures for
    dealing with hazardous materials and other hazards.

    • Public authorities, such as baseball stadium and
    basketball arena authorities, may also have their own
    revenue-raising authority and staff and resources to
    respond to emergencies.

    • Public-private organizations are typically set up to fund
    community activities through a combination of public and
    private sources and often have their own public safety offices
    and emergency procedures or contract for such services from
    public or private agencies.

    • Public colleges and universities, public hospitals and
    mental health facilities, and other “independent”
    government agencies often have their own police forces, first
    aid facilities, emergency plans and procedures, and even
    emergency operations centers to handle disasters.

    • If a hazard or disaster extends beyond the U.S. border, the
    emergency management system might also involve local,
    regional, or central government agencies in Canada, Mexico,
    and/or other neighboring nations.

    • The U.S. national emergency management system also involves
    nongovernmental organizations, including nonprofit and for-
    profit organizations that may participate at the national, state, or
    local levels.

    • Private individuals may also become involved in the national
    emergency management system as disaster volunteers, contributors
    of financial and other resources, and supporters of policies and
    programs that help manage environmental risks, facilitate disaster
    operations, or support relief and recovery efforts.

    • Local governments are generally the “first responders” to natural
    and technological disasters and, for minor disasters, may be wholly
    responsible for protecting lives and property.

    • The current political climate does not encourage an
    expansion of federal responsibility for emergency
    management or other policy problems, although there
    has been a long history of federal assistance to state and
    local governments and a general expansion of federal
    responsibility for environmental and other programs.

    • The intergovernmental system has undergone radical
    change since the founding of the nation. At some points,
    the federal government has had little or no responsibility
    for reducing natural and technological hazards and at
    others it has been very active in addressing hazards.

    • A brief overview of intergovernmental relations illustrates the expansion and
    contraction of federal responsibilities (Wright, 1983, Chapter 3):

    • Initially, the federal system was viewed as a “layer cake” with federal and state
    responsibilities relatively clearly defined (essentially with the federal government
    having only those powers and responsibilities specifically mentioned in the
    Constitution and all other powers reserved to the states). This is generally
    referred to as “dual federalism” and was characteristic of the conflict phase of
    federalism, and it has not been the dominant view of the federal system since
    the early 1800s.

    • From the mid-1800s onward, the federal role expanded in a variety of policy areas,
    including transportation (principally road building) and education (including the
    Morrill Land Grant Act that provided federal support to state land-grant
    universities), to aid state and local governments.

    • By the 1930s, with President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the relationship
    between federal and state officials became much more cooperative and the
    sharing of responsibilities more closely resembled a “marble cake.” The period
    between 1930 and 1950 became known as the period of “cooperative
    federalism.”

    • During the period of “cooperative federalism,” the federal government
    developed hundreds of programs to address the problems of the Great Depression
    and World War II. The federal government provided grants-in-aid to help state
    governments, and later local governments, finance specific projects.

    • By World War II, the federal-state relationship became much more
    interrelated, and mechanisms for coordinating efforts, such as the Advisory
    Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, were instituted.

    • Because federal policies were implemented by federal, state, and local
    officials within interconnected bureaucracies, a pattern of “picket fence
    federalism” developed. Federal grants were given directly to state and local
    agencies or were sent to governor’s or mayor’s offices as “pass throughs,”
    without being subject to review or reallocation.

    • Elected state and local officials often resented their lack of control over the
    spending of moneys transferred from federal agencies to state agencies.
    Program priorities were set in Washington, rather than in state capitals and
    city halls.

    • Federal, state, and local bureaucracies in policy areas like transportation
    developed strong administrative and political connections. Personnel often
    moved from one level to another within the “fence pickets” using their
    professional connections.

    • State and local agencies increasingly were structured like their federal
    counterparts, officials tended to be given the same job titles, and administrators
    developed similar value systems, including orientations toward particular policies.
    • Transportation departments at all levels tended to be oriented toward road

    building, rather than rail or air transportation; and
    • environmental protection agencies tended to focus on standard-setting as a

    means of regulating public and private actions, rather than focusing on
    negotiated pollution reduction programs (although that is changing now).

    • As the federal government assumed more responsibility
    for programs to address urban problems, poverty, civil
    rights, and other issues under President Lyndon B.
    Johnson’s Great Society initiative, the relationships
    among federal, state, and local officials became even
    more complex.

    • The expansion of federal programs was a response to the
    failure or inability of state and local governments to
    address the social and economic problems of cities, a
    reflection of the greater resources available to federal
    officials, and a result of strong political pressure put on
    Congress and the president to act.

    • Civil rights groups, social activists, environmentalists, and others found the members
    of Congress and officials in the executive branch more supportive of their concerns
    than members of state legislatures and other state and local officials.

    • This period of “creative federalism” was characterized by the setting of national
    goals by the federal government and the use of federal categorical grants to
    encourage state and local governments, as well as the private and nonprofit sectors,
    to implement the federal goals.

    • During the 1970s, state and local officials complained that the federal government’s
    use of categorical grants had “blackmailed” them into pursuing federal goals at the
    expense of their constituents’ needs. State and local officials sought greater
    flexibility to target funds where they felt the most need.

    • President Richard Nixon initiated his “new federalism” policies as a reaction
    against the use of categorical grants, strict federal control over goal setting,
    the lack of flexibility in spending federal funds, and the emphasis on urban
    problems of the Great Society programs.

    • The State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 created “general
    revenue sharing” that provided federal funding to state and local
    governments with few restrictions on how the money should be spent.

    • General revenue sharing became an immensely popular program because it
    expanded the fiscal resources available to state and local governments and
    reduced the need for state and local officials to seek tax increases.

    • President Nixon also consolidated categorical grant programs into a few “block
    grants” that provided funding in specified policy areas with more flexibility for
    state and local targeting of spending.

    • During the 1980s, President Reagan initiated a second “new federalism” and
    recommended that the responsibilities of the federal and state governments be
    sorted out through a “swap” of programs and the elimination of many categorical
    grant programs.

    • The Reagan “new federalism” initiative was met with opposition from state
    governors concerned with the high cost of Medicaid and other programs for
    which their governments were expected to take responsibility, big city mayors
    concerned about the proposed elimination of programs to address inner city
    poverty and other social problems, and a major recession that reduced tax
    revenues at all levels.

    Despite the unsuccessful proposal to “swap” programs, the
    Reagan Administration cut funding and eliminated many of

    the programs designed to address urban poverty, removed the
    mechanisms for regional coordination of planning, and

    generally reduced the federal role in social, economic, and
    environmental policymaking.

    The evolution of the intergovernmental system has fundamentally
    been based on differing views on:

    Supporters of each
    intergovernmental

    arrangement
    hoping that their
    preferred system
    will best protect

    and advance their
    own interests.

    Narrow Social Or Economic Interests

    The federal government
    should be very active in

    addressing social and
    economic problems

    State and local governments
    should have primary

    responsibility for addressing
    such problems.

    The Roles Of The Federal And State
    Governments

    Supporters of a broader
    federal role are more

    confident that their policy
    preferences will fare better at

    that level

    Supporters of a leading role
    for state governments are
    more confident that their

    policy preferences will fare
    better among state officials

    and legislators.

    Public Policy Choices

    The least government possible
    to ensure low taxes and little
    interference with their own

    social and economic pursuits

    Others preferring an active or
    “positive” role for

    government in addressing
    society’s problems (i.e., the

    “positive state”).

    The Role Of Government In General

    • Differing views on the federal system of government and
    intergovernmental relations result in differing perceptions of the proper
    roles of agencies like FEMA in managing hazards and disasters.
    • For example, some Americans prefer a very active network of federal,

    state, and local emergency management agencies engaged in
    reducing risk and protecting life and property;

    • Very little government, even when there are natural and technological
    risks, and more self-reliance – essentially an orientation toward local
    self-reliance with little outside help;

    • Particular policy options, like voluntary rather than government-
    mandated measures to reduce the risk of flood damage or
    government-backed all-hazards insurance to help individuals following
    a disaster; and/or

    • More reliance on community-based programs, with less federal and
    state oversight (to mention but a few of the political perspectives
    present in the U.S.).

    • The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
    (SARA) of 1986, on October 17, 1986, required (in Title III)
    governors to establish state emergency response commissions,
    create local emergency planning districts, and appoint local
    emergency planning committees (LEPCs).

    • The LEPCs were charged with developing appropriate
    emergency response plans, including identification of facilities
    and transportation routes for extremely hazardous materials,
    on- and off-site response procedures, emergency notification
    procedures, methods for determining the occurrence of a
    release and the affected area, evacuation routes, training
    programs, etc.

    Federal law also creates intergovernmental mandates,
    requiring action at the federal, state, and local levels.

    • Under the “Community Right-to-Know” provisions, facilities are
    required to notify the LEPC, the state emergency response
    commission, and the local fire department if seriously hazardous
    materials are being used, stored, or transported and to specify what
    kind of chemicals or materials are involved (by chemical and
    common names), amounts (ranges), locations, manner of storage,
    etc.

    • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitors the
    inventories of chemicals, the reporting process, and any toxic
    chemical releases (EPA, n.d.).

    • The provisions of SARA Title III ensure that federal, state, and local
    officials are aware of the presence of significant amounts of
    hazardous materials, can monitor threats to public health and safety,
    and have appropriate response plans. The information is also
    available to the public so that the hazards can be understood.

    • When FEMA was created in 1979, the objective was to coordinate
    federal disaster programs by facilitating executive control. The
    agency was comprised of a collection of dissimilar programs
    ranging from the National Flood Insurance Program to the National
    Fire Academy and including civil preparedness programs drawn
    from the Department of Defense (see Session No. 2).

    • FEMA, like other agencies for which the president appoints senior
    administrators, has reflected the interests and values of the
    president in office; hence the emphasis on defense and earthquakes
    during the Reagan-Bush Administrations and the broader natural
    disaster emphasis during the Clinton Administration.

    The focus on national goals or “results” under the
    Governmental Performance and Results Act of

    1993 has encouraged the development of
    “partnerships” with state and local governments,
    as well as with private and nonprofit organizations,

    to reduce hazards, expand local capabilities, and
    achieve the national goals to reduce suffering and

    economic losses and to improve program
    performance.

    The intergovernmental system is the context within which governments raise revenue, borrow, and spend to support policies and programs like emergency management.

    Emergency managers and emergency management agencies are often at a disadvantage in the budget process because much of the revenue raised is earmarked for particular purposes.

    The intergovernmental system and the federal and state budget processes are highly competitive, and emergency managers have to find influential friends in executive offices and on legislative committees, sell their programs to the public, and cultivate relationships with influential interest groups if they are to be successful.

    Federal funding is available for certain emergency management and Homeland Security activities. Table 3.1 (see Appendix A) includes the major grants available to state and local jurisdictions. Most are categorical grants, meaning that they have to be spent on specific narrow purposes. Some are “pass throughs” and go directly to local governments and others are sent to the state with state officials determine where they will be spent.

    Disasters and
    Intergovernmental Relations:

    Part I

    Roles of the Major Intergovernmental Actors

    PADM 804 – IGR AND IGM
    Dr. Harry McGinnis

    • The U.S. national emergency management system
    involves local, state, and federal government agencies
    and an array of special districts, public and quasi-public
    authorities, and public-private organizations.

    • Special districts or “special purpose” governments, such
    as school districts and water districts, generally have
    their own taxing and policymaking authority and may
    have their own emergency plans and procedures for
    dealing with hazardous materials and other hazards.

    • Public authorities, such as baseball stadium and
    basketball arena authorities, may also have their own
    revenue-raising authority and staff and resources to
    respond to emergencies.

    • Public-private organizations are typically set up to fund
    community activities through a combination of public and
    private sources and often have their own public safety offices
    and emergency procedures or contract for such services from
    public or private agencies.

    • Public colleges and universities, public hospitals and
    mental health facilities, and other “independent”
    government agencies often have their own police forces, first
    aid facilities, emergency plans and procedures, and even
    emergency operations centers to handle disasters.

    • If a hazard or disaster extends beyond the U.S. border, the
    emergency management system might also involve local,
    regional, or central government agencies in Canada, Mexico,
    and/or other neighboring nations.

    • The U.S. national emergency management system also involves
    nongovernmental organizations, including nonprofit and for-
    profit organizations that may participate at the national, state, or
    local levels.

    • Private individuals may also become involved in the national
    emergency management system as disaster volunteers, contributors
    of financial and other resources, and supporters of policies and
    programs that help manage environmental risks, facilitate disaster
    operations, or support relief and recovery efforts.

    • Local governments are generally the “first responders” to natural
    and technological disasters and, for minor disasters, may be wholly
    responsible for protecting lives and property.

    • The current political climate does not encourage an
    expansion of federal responsibility for emergency
    management or other policy problems, although there
    has been a long history of federal assistance to state and
    local governments and a general expansion of federal
    responsibility for environmental and other programs.

    • The intergovernmental system has undergone radical
    change since the founding of the nation. At some points,
    the federal government has had little or no responsibility
    for reducing natural and technological hazards and at
    others it has been very active in addressing hazards.

    • A brief overview of intergovernmental relations illustrates the expansion and
    contraction of federal responsibilities (Wright, 1983, Chapter 3):

    • Initially, the federal system was viewed as a “layer cake” with federal and state
    responsibilities relatively clearly defined (essentially with the federal government
    having only those powers and responsibilities specifically mentioned in the
    Constitution and all other powers reserved to the states). This is generally
    referred to as “dual federalism” and was characteristic of the conflict phase of
    federalism, and it has not been the dominant view of the federal system since
    the early 1800s.

    • From the mid-1800s onward, the federal role expanded in a variety of policy areas,
    including transportation (principally road building) and education (including the
    Morrill Land Grant Act that provided federal support to state land-grant
    universities), to aid state and local governments.

    • By the 1930s, with President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the relationship
    between federal and state officials became much more cooperative and the
    sharing of responsibilities more closely resembled a “marble cake.” The period
    between 1930 and 1950 became known as the period of “cooperative
    federalism.”

    • During the period of “cooperative federalism,” the federal government
    developed hundreds of programs to address the problems of the Great Depression
    and World War II. The federal government provided grants-in-aid to help state
    governments, and later local governments, finance specific projects.

    • By World War II, the federal-state relationship became much more
    interrelated, and mechanisms for coordinating efforts, such as the Advisory
    Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, were instituted.

    • Because federal policies were implemented by federal, state, and local
    officials within interconnected bureaucracies, a pattern of “picket fence
    federalism” developed. Federal grants were given directly to state and local
    agencies or were sent to governor’s or mayor’s offices as “pass throughs,”
    without being subject to review or reallocation.

    • Elected state and local officials often resented their lack of control over the
    spending of moneys transferred from federal agencies to state agencies.
    Program priorities were set in Washington, rather than in state capitals and
    city halls.

    • Federal, state, and local bureaucracies in policy areas like transportation
    developed strong administrative and political connections. Personnel often
    moved from one level to another within the “fence pickets” using their
    professional connections.

    • State and local agencies increasingly were structured like their federal
    counterparts, officials tended to be given the same job titles, and administrators
    developed similar value systems, including orientations toward particular policies.
    • Transportation departments at all levels tended to be oriented toward road

    building, rather than rail or air transportation; and
    • environmental protection agencies tended to focus on standard-setting as a

    means of regulating public and private actions, rather than focusing on
    negotiated pollution reduction programs (although that is changing now).

    • As the federal government assumed more responsibility
    for programs to address urban problems, poverty, civil
    rights, and other issues under President Lyndon B.
    Johnson’s Great Society initiative, the relationships
    among federal, state, and local officials became even
    more complex.

    • The expansion of federal programs was a response to the
    failure or inability of state and local governments to
    address the social and economic problems of cities, a
    reflection of the greater resources available to federal
    officials, and a result of strong political pressure put on
    Congress and the president to act.

    • Civil rights groups, social activists, environmentalists, and others found the members
    of Congress and officials in the executive branch more supportive of their concerns
    than members of state legislatures and other state and local officials.

    • This period of “creative federalism” was characterized by the setting of national
    goals by the federal government and the use of federal categorical grants to
    encourage state and local governments, as well as the private and nonprofit sectors,
    to implement the federal goals.

    • During the 1970s, state and local officials complained that the federal government’s
    use of categorical grants had “blackmailed” them into pursuing federal goals at the
    expense of their constituents’ needs. State and local officials sought greater
    flexibility to target funds where they felt the most need.

    • President Richard Nixon initiated his “new federalism” policies as a reaction
    against the use of categorical grants, strict federal control over goal setting,
    the lack of flexibility in spending federal funds, and the emphasis on urban
    problems of the Great Society programs.

    • The State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 created “general
    revenue sharing” that provided federal funding to state and local
    governments with few restrictions on how the money should be spent.

    • General revenue sharing became an immensely popular program because it
    expanded the fiscal resources available to state and local governments and
    reduced the need for state and local officials to seek tax increases.

    • President Nixon also consolidated categorical grant programs into a few “block
    grants” that provided funding in specified policy areas with more flexibility for
    state and local targeting of spending.

    • During the 1980s, President Reagan initiated a second “new federalism” and
    recommended that the responsibilities of the federal and state governments be
    sorted out through a “swap” of programs and the elimination of many categorical
    grant programs.

    • The Reagan “new federalism” initiative was met with opposition from state
    governors concerned with the high cost of Medicaid and other programs for
    which their governments were expected to take responsibility, big city mayors
    concerned about the proposed elimination of programs to address inner city
    poverty and other social problems, and a major recession that reduced tax
    revenues at all levels.

    Despite the unsuccessful proposal to “swap” programs, the
    Reagan Administration cut funding and eliminated many of

    the programs designed to address urban poverty, removed the
    mechanisms for regional coordination of planning, and

    generally reduced the federal role in social, economic, and
    environmental policymaking.

    The evolution of the intergovernmental system has fundamentally
    been based on differing views on:

    Supporters of each
    intergovernmental

    arrangement
    hoping that their
    preferred system
    will best protect

    and advance their
    own interests.

    Narrow Social Or Economic Interests

    The federal government
    should be very active in

    addressing social and
    economic problems

    State and local governments
    should have primary

    responsibility for addressing
    such problems.

    The Roles Of The Federal And State
    Governments

    Supporters of a broader
    federal role are more

    confident that their policy
    preferences will fare better at

    that level

    Supporters of a leading role
    for state governments are
    more confident that their

    policy preferences will fare
    better among state officials

    and legislators.

    Public Policy Choices

    The least government possible
    to ensure low taxes and little
    interference with their own

    social and economic pursuits

    Others preferring an active or
    “positive” role for

    government in addressing
    society’s problems (i.e., the

    “positive state”).

    The Role Of Government In General

    • Differing views on the federal system of government and
    intergovernmental relations result in differing perceptions of the proper
    roles of agencies like FEMA in managing hazards and disasters.
    • For example, some Americans prefer a very active network of federal,

    state, and local emergency management agencies engaged in
    reducing risk and protecting life and property;

    • Very little government, even when there are natural and technological
    risks, and more self-reliance – essentially an orientation toward local
    self-reliance with little outside help;

    • Particular policy options, like voluntary rather than government-
    mandated measures to reduce the risk of flood damage or
    government-backed all-hazards insurance to help individuals following
    a disaster; and/or

    • More reliance on community-based programs, with less federal and
    state oversight (to mention but a few of the political perspectives
    present in the U.S.).

    • The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
    (SARA) of 1986, on October 17, 1986, required (in Title III)
    governors to establish state emergency response commissions,
    create local emergency planning districts, and appoint local
    emergency planning committees (LEPCs).

    • The LEPCs were charged with developing appropriate
    emergency response plans, including identification of facilities
    and transportation routes for extremely hazardous materials,
    on- and off-site response procedures, emergency notification
    procedures, methods for determining the occurrence of a
    release and the affected area, evacuation routes, training
    programs, etc.

    Federal law also creates intergovernmental mandates,
    requiring action at the federal, state, and local levels.

    • Under the “Community Right-to-Know” provisions, facilities are
    required to notify the LEPC, the state emergency response
    commission, and the local fire department if seriously hazardous
    materials are being used, stored, or transported and to specify what
    kind of chemicals or materials are involved (by chemical and
    common names), amounts (ranges), locations, manner of storage,
    etc.

    • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitors the
    inventories of chemicals, the reporting process, and any toxic
    chemical releases (EPA, n.d.).

    • The provisions of SARA Title III ensure that federal, state, and local
    officials are aware of the presence of significant amounts of
    hazardous materials, can monitor threats to public health and safety,
    and have appropriate response plans. The information is also
    available to the public so that the hazards can be understood.

    • When FEMA was created in 1979, the objective was to coordinate
    federal disaster programs by facilitating executive control. The
    agency was comprised of a collection of dissimilar programs
    ranging from the National Flood Insurance Program to the National
    Fire Academy and including civil preparedness programs drawn
    from the Department of Defense (see Session No. 2).

    • FEMA, like other agencies for which the president appoints senior
    administrators, has reflected the interests and values of the
    president in office; hence the emphasis on defense and earthquakes
    during the Reagan-Bush Administrations and the broader natural
    disaster emphasis during the Clinton Administration.

    The focus on national goals or “results” under the
    Governmental Performance and Results Act of

    1993 has encouraged the development of
    “partnerships” with state and local governments,
    as well as with private and nonprofit organizations,

    to reduce hazards, expand local capabilities, and
    achieve the national goals to reduce suffering and

    economic losses and to improve program
    performance.
