NCWRPC can assist in the development of intergovernmental agreements, including border cooperation agreements and planning. Intergovernmental agreements can be as simple as agreeing to hold joint meetings of planning committees, to share police and fire services, or as complex as sharing tax revenues and redefining communal borders. Two types of fundamental agreements are allowed at the s.66.023 -s.66.30 WI Stats. Other specialized agreements are possible under a large number of specific statutes. The agreement may change borders because of a WisDOA provision. The change is based on a detailed plan. The statutes allow for the integration of many other planning instruments. These agreements provide flexibility for annexation, zoning, revenue sharing and other inter-communal activities.
