Northern Management wrote the book on Municipal-Tribal partnerships, having implemented the first Municipal-Tribal merger in the U.S. In an era of severe funding cut-backs to Rural Alaska, communities can ill-afford to duplicate services at the local level. Communities that have successfully brought their City and Tribe together are translating that partnership into not only better Municipal-Tribal relations at home, but more funding for their community as a whole. We can assist your community with developing a more productive Municipal-Tribal partnership by providing the following services:
On-site presentations to illustrate different possible scenarios for Municipal-Tribal partnerships
Negotiation and Development of Municipal-Tribal Memorandum of Agreements
(MOAs')
Facilitation and implementation of municipal-tribal partnerships for joint community services (public safety, water & sewer/ youth programs, etc.) as well as joint capital projects (community centers, public safety facilities, road construction, etc.)
Facilitation and implementation of comprehensive Municipal-Tribal mergers consolidating all community services under one administrative roof
Budgeting services for Municipal-Tribal consolidated administrations
