| Annexation battles often are the root cause of long-standing conflicts between municipalities. Some states, including Wisconsin, have sought to reduce the number of annexation battles by allowing the use of intergovernmental agreements addressing municipal boundary expansion and service delivery. This paper reviews Michigan's Conditional Land Transfer Act, Public Act 425 of 1984, including its unique land transfer and reversion provisions. Using a database of all agreements filed since the law's inception, this paper reviews the common provisions found in these agreements. The authors also analyze emerging policy issues and suggest amendments to further the initial policy objectives of Michigan's alternative to annexation. |

| Fire protection attempts to reduce the costs of fear, injury, death, uninsured property loss, and high fire insurance payments. Municipalities in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community have generally placed a high priority on providing fire protection with public revenues as one of the services to the residents. Local municipal officials face decisions on the allocation of financial resources. An expenditure for fire protection is a foregone opportunity for expenditure on parks for example. As growth occurs in a given area, local official must decide whether additional fire protection is needed, and if so, how should the protection be afforded? Should the local government unit start up their own department, purchase additional... |
