INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES. The Spokane Valley - Rathdrum Prairie (SVRP) aq uifer is the sole source of drinking water for over 400,000 residents in Spokane County, Washington, and Kootenai County, Idaho (Figure 1, located at back of document). Th e area includes the rapidly growing cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Liberty Lake , Washington, and Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls, Idaho. Recent and projected urban, suburban, industrial, and commercial growth has raised concerns about potential future impa cts on water availability and water quality in the SVRP aquifer, and Spokane and Little Spokane rivers. Water resource concerns include growing demands on ground water and declining ground water levels, low stream flow in reaches of the Spokane an d Little Spokane rivers, and water quality problems associated with changing land use activities. Water resource demands are increasing at a time when aquifer and river dynamics are not well understood. This understanding is essential in making proper management decisions concerning ground water and surface water approp riations in the SVRP area. Management of the SVRP aquifer is complicated because of the interstate, multi- jurisdictional responsibilities for the aquife r. The states of Washington and Idaho have primary responsibility for water allocation and water quality. However, local governments are increasingly being called up on to consider water supply and quality implications in land use planning. Aquife r management is also complicated by the interconnection between ground water and su rface water. Surface water flow rates and surface-water quality are influenced by ground water and vise versa. The purpose of this Memorandum of Understa nding is to establish the organizational framework to accomplish a scientifically defens ible hydrologic study of the SVRP aquifer. The study will provide the states with the da ta, the empirical models and the technical analysis they need to assist in water administration.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES. The Village of Consort and Special Areas Board exist as neighboring municipalities in East Central Alberta in a rural prairie landscape. Due to their shared borders, they have decided to provide for the long-term planning of rural lands between the two Municipalities. They also value the advantages of predetermining processes for land use and development where one Municipality’s border areas are affected by the other’s new developments. Therefore, both Municipalities have decided to develop an intermunicipal development plan (IDP) to provide a predetermined framework to make long-term land use planning decisions. IDPs are broad-based policy documents that strive for environmentally responsible development without significant unnecessary costs and unacceptable negative impacts on the Municipalities. This IDP will provide a platform to formalize the strong relationship between the Village and the Board. By doing so, it is hoped the potential for future disputes is minimized. However, if a future dispute does occur, the Plan also outlines a dispute resolution process agreed upon by both Municipalities. Land use planning decisions made by both Municipalities affect and influence one another. Prominent planning issues include conflicts between differing rural land uses and coordinating infrastructural improvements. Positive relationships will lead to sharing of resources, achieving economic development goals and more efficient municipal and community services. An IDP is arguably the most critical tool in initiating those advantages. The Municipalities believe this Plan will guide future growth and provide a forum for potential intermunicipal collaboration on a wide range of issues. To that extent, the Village and the Board intend to adhere to this Plan by achieving the following objectives:
a) To protect existing land uses to prevent encroachment.
b) To support reasonable and practical planning for future infrastructure needs.
c) To implement fair and consistent regulations for properties on the boundary.
d) To provide a framework of mutual cooperation and communication for the decision- making and resolution of planning and development matters.
e) To engage in boundary reciprocity measures to ensure the interests of both Municipalities are acknowledged and accounted for.
f) To ensure a transparent process and subsequent results for necessary stakeholders.
g) To develop this Plan to provide clarity and continuity for future governance of the Plan Area and the r...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES. 1.1 This memorandum of understanding has been agreed to define the roles of the Responsible Authority (RA) and the Duty to Co-operate (DTC) agencies. For the purposes of this agreement, the RA consists of: Sussex Police; Sussex Probation Area; Her Majesty’s Prison Service (Sussex and Kent area). Agencies with a statutory duty to cooperate are: Sussex Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), other NHS Trusts and Strategic Health Authorities; Sussex Youth Offending Teams; Sussex Jobcentre Plus; Sussex Local Housing Authorities; Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) which accommodate MAPPA offenders; Adult Social Care Services; Children’s and Young People Services; Electronic Monitoring (EM) Providers (links to Sussex MAPPA through the Sussex Criminal Justice Board).
1.2 Section 325 of the 2003 Criminal Justice Act gave the police, probation service and HM Prison Service the duty of forming a “Responsible Authority” (RA) to assess and manage the risks posed by “relevant” sexual and violent offenders and other offenders who are considered to present a risk of harm to the public.
1.3 Section 325 also requires that those duties are carried out in collaboration with other statutory agencies that in turn are given a Duty to Cooperate (DTC). These agencies are listed above.
1.4 Section 325 requires that a Memorandum of Understanding is put in place between the RA and DTC agencies which sets out the ways in which the RA and DTC are able to co-operate as part of Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA).
1.5 Systems and procedures for co-operating are based on the extract from the Criminal Justice Act (2003) - see appendix 1:
1.6 MAPPA are concerned with offenders who may pose a risk of serious harm to others. The responsible authorities in areas are required to: Establish arrangements for assessing and sharing information about sexual and violent offenders and other dangerous offenders Construct, share and coordinate management plans in order to reduce risk.
