Partnerships & Privatization A success story! Housing: Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) Lodging: Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) Utilities: Utility Privatization Transitioning Soldiers: Dept of Labor & Veterans Affairs Survivor Assistance: TAPS, Gold Star Mothers Municipal Services: Monterey CA, Sierra Vista AZ Critical components of our vision for Installations 2020

Why Municipal Partnerships? Potential cost savings to government and partner Improved city services without increased tax burden Stability for government; not changing contractor every few years Leverage core competencies vice duplication of capabilities Excess capacity may exist in municipality Strengthens bonds between community and military installation “Strategic Value” for community “Success breeds success” Must be willing to engage head on and fight through every obstacle. The wins are worth the effort!

Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program Initial plan was City operating the on-post library as “branch” of city library system Army spent $392K per year for post library—to deliver substandard library support Initial cost to meet City standards $813K, annual operating costs $428K City library is exceptional; Post library is sub-standard. 80% of Fort personnel live in local community. This could have been the end of discussion as not economically viable to city to participate, but….

Could Army and City partner to provide library services? Use the city first class library and close on post library. Army provides $60K a year to city to support unique Army requirements. City library provides library services to city and Fort residents Result: $350K per year savings for Army and BETTER SERVICE for soldiers and families! Approved by Asst SECARMY JAN 2007 Partnership implemented MAR 07 First city/military partnership for library services in DoD!!! A New Idea! Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program

Lessons Learned Legislative authority is powerful Treat project development as a discussion between partners, not a “contract negotiation” Must understand rate structure to include salaries, overhead, benefits, and equipment in “pricing” services Bring contracting and lawyers in early as part of team; city and govt. Understand Service Contract Act implications Must dedicate staff/time to work partnership issues Municipality and Govt must have “advocate” spearheading issues, without “buy-in” it won’t happen Change will create resistance--- plan for it Must be Commander’s and Mayor/Manager’s priority!
