Interagency Cooperation
In the space below write a description of how the various resources listed in the previous
pages could cooperatively work together to accomplish the goal of closing identified gaps in
servrces:
During committee meeting each agency has agreed to increase communicafion lines between
agencies. Therefore sharing resources and individual targeted grants so that duplication of
services is limited. Sharing of ideas and principles and information relating to exactly what
services can be provided by individual sharing in this process..
Kerr County Community Plan page 34
Long-Range Plan Development, Monitoring and Evaluation
The Ken County Community Planning Team works in conjunction with other planning
groups in the county to ensure a regular exchange of ideas. Individuals active in the planning
process generally serve on many of these committees and share mutual concerns.
The Ken County Community Planning Team strives to meet periodically to review the plan
and make necessazy additions and deletions. At least one formal meeting of the entire group
is held each fall, but agency and community representatives typically submit suggestions and
changes via telephone and a-mail throughout the year to the Community Planning
Coordinator.
Drafts and annual updates of the Community Plan are circulated by e-mail with requests for
comments, changes, etc. Wherever possible a-mail is used to reduce the need for meetings,
printing, postage, etc.
It is the intent of the Community Planning Group to improve outcomes for Kerr County
families struggling with problems described in the plan's focus areas. Efforts aze being made
by many Kerr County agencies and organizations to address problems with local funds as
well as grant funds from multiple state and federal sources. To the extent that these funds are
available, the Community Planning Team will continue to urge agencies to provide
programming that addresses the outlined focus areas.
