In order to promote efficiency and coordination in the
overall planning by the various governmental entities having an interest within
the
geographical territory embraced within the planning authorization granted
to the county within this act, and to encourage the elimination of
duplication of effort in planning for such areas, the board of county
commissioners may initiate joint efforts with other governmental entities
including, but not limited to, cities, townships, fire districts, water
districts and wastewater districts and the planning commission, with the
approval of the board of county commissioners, is authorized to initiate
and jointly prepare, in whole or in part, any plans or programs developed
as a part of such joint or cooperative effort. Such plans or programs shall
be considered for recommendation by the planning commission and adoption by
the board of county commissioners in the same manner and with the same
requirements as specified elsewhere in this act for adoption of the
comprehensive plan.
The board of county commissioners shall approve any intergovernmental
agreement or other formal document that shall outline the extent of common
interest, the duration of the agreement, the role of the various parties
involved, the desired results of such joint or cooperative effort and any
other matter deemed pertinent by the parties involved. Such agreements may
be made by the county and one or more other governmental entities as may
choose to participate.
