A Practical Guide to Intergovernmental Entities in Oregon

A Practical Guide to Intergovernmental Entities in Oregon: Creating and Managing an Intergovernmental Entity under ORS 190.010(5) 

The National Policy Consensus Center houses programs that work with government entities and their stakeholders to resolve public policy disputes or implement collaborative solutions to community problems. At times, government collaboration projects evolve into a more permanent arrangement that leads to formation of an intergovernmental entity. This guide addresses the most common questions the National Policy Consensus Center receives about forming intergovernmental entities. The guide provides general answers based on the center’s years of experience with collaborative groups, but it does not provide legal advice. It is meant as a tool for considering the use of an intergovernmental entity. You should consult a lawyer about any decision to actually form an intergovernmental entity.
