25 Guiding Principles • The Association recognizes the importance of the state - county partnership and its unique role in providing services to all citizens. • The state should seek input from counties while developing rules and regulations that impact counties, particularly con- cerning property rights. • Local general purpose governments are the building blocks for solving regional problems; regional approaches should be based on the need to strengthen and support local gov- ernments. • Intergovernmental agreements should be used where appro- priate to attain efficient performance, as determined by local elected officials. • Encourage public - private partnerships when in the best in- terest of the citizens. • Reserve federal action for those areas where state and local governments are not adequate and where continuing nation- al involvement is necessary, e.g. national defense, provided resources are made available by the national government. • All local government institutions should be engaged in de- veloping and coordinating services to meet the needs of citizens. Counties will strive to maintain and enhance these partnerships. Goals GG -1: Oppose any shift of state transportation responsibili- ties to counties.
