MAC Urges Counties To Fill Out MSU Extension Survey On State Mandates
As part of the charge of the State Commission on Mandates, the commission has asked MSUE to help develop actual costs to local units of government on state-mandated services for inclusion in the final report, due out by the end of the year. MSUE will be very shortly sending out a “Zoomerang” survey to all county administrators and other officials in the next few days. The Commission will expect cost estimates by the end of October, so it is critical that you respond to this simple cost survey in as quickly as possible. Click here to link to the survey.
MAC intends on using the commission report, complete with cost information as a top priority for legislative fixes for counties in the coming year and beyond if necessary. For this to be a success, we need to make sure we have an accurate depiction of what the costs are for mandates, particularly unfunded or underfunded ones.
