Body
Information Contact: Commissioner Steve Bradshaw
Phone Number: 404-371-4749
PURPOSE:
To request the administration review and consider implementing regulations to allow public private partnerships as contemplated by O.C.G.A. Sections 36-91-110 through 36-110-119, which would provide a framework for the County to consider partnerships with private entities for the development of a wide range of project for public use, commonly known as “P3s”.
NEED/IMPACT:
Public Private Partnerships can provide benefits to local governments including a more cost-effective process for constructing infrastructure and delivering services that meet a public purpose or need, more flexible financing options for the County and fostering more innovative solutions for public needs by inviting creative input from private entities that are otherwise external to local government processes. DeKalb County has received unsolicited P3 proposals in the past and been unable to consider and act on said proposals as State law requires the adoption of a local rule, regulation or ordinance governing P3 agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
To adopt the attached resolution requesting the Administration to review and consider implementing regulations providing a framework for public private partnerships as contemplated by O.C.G.A. Sections36-91-110 through 36-110-119 and in accordance with Attachment A.
