Mare Island Naval Shipyard was placed on the "Fast Track" toward military base closure as of October 1993. All ship projects will end by April 1995. The base will close in April 1996. This paper discussesthe cooperative efforts of the Federal, state and local authorities, and the shipyard, to quickly turn over the yard for effective civilian reuse; andthe shipyard effort to train and utilize the existing workforce as a major element in the environmental remediation effort—to both prepare the facility for reuse and to prepare the workforce for reemployment.

Every mass movement can be traced through the particular conditions under which the migrant self is formed and transformed. This introduction outlines the struggle of black Americans once slavery was outlawed by asking a key question: were they subjects or citizens? Though federal laws gave the now former slaves all the rights of citizens, state and local authorities allowed and enforced segregationist policies. These, in conjunction with various economic pressures, culminated in the African American Great Migration of 1910-1970. Brown, who positions herself as a third-generation descendent of a black Kentucky population that took part in this migration, claims that the collective memory of Appalachian blacks that undertook this stepwise migration deserves more attention.

Fiscal Equalization System

AbstractIn Germany there exists a political consensus that the economic and fiscal burden of the German reunification should be shared by all three jurisdictional levels of the federal system. According to existing law the burden sharing between the state and local authorities has to be confined to the excess burden which follows from the financing of the German Unity Fund as well as the integration of the eastern German states into the fiscal equalisation system. Thereby, state and local authorities are in conflict with each other regarding an appropriate economic estimation of the excess burden to be caused by the fiscal equalization system. Against this background the paper explains and illustrates the economic concept of burden in terms of opportunity costs. Taking North Rhine-Westphalia as a case study the quantity of the excess burden is empirically estimated for the time period 1995 - 2009 by applying a multivariate data analysis.

Although energy has become a key political issue in recent decades, a comprehensive national policy is lacking, and state and local governments are playing increasingly important and diverse roles. This essay reviews what we know about intergovernmental relations in energy policy, including overlaps between national, state, and local authorities; the character of intergovernmental interactions; and interstate variations. In sum, this essay illustrates why intergovernmental issues in energy policies are an interesting and important area of inquiry, reviews current scholarship in key areas, and suggests possible future avenues for research on this topic.

Theoretical Foundations

The purpose of the research is to deepen the theoretical foundations of financial stability as a factor in shaping the fiscal space of local budgets and substantiate the methodological tools for assessing the financial stability of local budgets of Ukraine in the medium and long term. Methods. The following research methods were used in analysing the problem: induction, deduction, system approach, statistical analysis, logical generalization, graphical method. Results. Fiscal extension gives the opportunities to local authorities to obtain and use extra budget resources for achieving the goal taking into account the restrictions caused by the necessity to maintain the financial sustainability in mid- and long-term periods. A methodological toolkit for assessing the financial sustainability of local budgets in mid- and long-term periods is proposed. The complex of arguments for the appropriate applying of the estimation of financial sustainability of local budgets in the national practice using the methodology of the European Commission in the mid-term period is given. It is substantiated that the development of strategic directions for ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of local budgets in Ukraine should take place with the use of foresight. It is substantiated that the fiscal space provides opportunities for local governments to obtain and use extra budgetary resources to achieve a certain goal, taking into account the constraints due to the need to maintain financial stability in the medium- and long-term periods.  Methodical tools for assessing the financial stability of local budgets in the medium- and long-term periods are proposed.  A set of arguments on the expediency of applying the methodology of the European Commission in the medium-term period in the native practice of calculating the financial stability of local budgets is presented.  It is substantiated that the development of strategic directions to ensure long-term financial stability of local budgets of Ukraine should take place using foresight. Practical meaning. The practical significance of the obtained results is in the possibility of using methodological tools to assess the effectiveness of local budget sustainability management by state and local authorities in developing and making management decisions to regulate the level of financial stability of local budgets. Prospects for further research. The formation of theoretical foundations of financial stability as a factor in the formation of the fiscal space of local budgets and substantiation of methodological tools for their assessment in the medium and long term periods confirms the need for further scientific substantiation of strategic directions of long-term financial stability of local budgets in Ukraine under the condition of decentralization.

The anti-crisis management of rural municipalities is an organized special management, based on a set of specific management decisions taken by the governing bodies of institutions and organizations, state and local authorities in the context of resource constraints and increased risk. Monitoring the results of the crisis management of rural municipalities is aimed at tracking its condition and financial performance. The purpose of the crisis management of rural municipalities is to restore their livelihoods and the withdrawal from the crisis of enterprises, institutions, organizations that provide services to the rural population. The nature of changes in the crisis management process was assessed taking into account: the full coverage of the areas of project and event management, the pace of change, the degree of achievement of goals, and the growth of economic indicators. The study developed the basic provisions for improving the information system of crisis management of rural municipalities. The information support system includes: a list of indicators for assessing the course of crisis management, requirements for a data bank. The structure of the information system and the network model of the possibility of creating an agricultural cluster based on rural municipalities are proposed. The proposed information system serves and interconnects, in the mode of interaction, local authorities, scientific and educational unit, functional departmental systems: tax, statistical, environmental protection, rural infrastructure and others. It makes it possible to create a cluster of rural municipalities in a less costly and more coordinated way. The main idea of evaluating and adjusting crisis management is to comprehensively examine the interrelationships of the parameters of the tariff, tax, investment and subsidy policies, taking into account the transformations in the management system of rural municipalities.

A variety of circumstances contribute to an increasingly large number of minors who leave family, home, and country to seek asylum on foreign soil. They present special challenges to state and local authorities, to relevant non-governmental agencies, and to the international community. This paper considers the planning needs for these minors for whom asylum is denied and for whom return to country of origin needs to be arranged. The paper highlights the need for a social service perspective, such as provided by International Social Service, to be included in the planning process.

Practical Implications

In the context of the reform of decentralization in Ukraine, which envisages a set of changes, the main purpose of which is the transfer of significant powers and budgets from State bodies to local self-government bodies, the issue of providing high-quality public services to local self-government bodies is extremely important. To do this, you need to first of all not only create the constitutional and legal foundations for improving the quality of public services provided by local authorities, but also expand their number. Methodology. During the writing of the paper, the following research methods were used: the search for available methodological and scientific literature, comparison, clarification of causal relationships, systematization, analysis of documentation and results of researchers' work on the problem of the conducted research and expert evaluation. Results. These processes require not only the renewal or improvement of the elements of the management system that do not function properly, but also a radical transformation of the mechanisms of the state, in particular legal and organizational and functional, ensuring the processes of regulation of decentralization, which is an important factor in achieving the effectiveness of public administration. Practical implications. This issue becomes even more relevant not only from the rosbalanciousness of the system of regulation of procedural elements in the relations of state and local authorities with citizens, but also because of the lack of a slender, clear and understood ideology of such relations, built on the principles of equality, openness and the rule of law. The solution to this problem is especially important in the context of the formation of civil society – it is the quality of administrative services and the qualification of their provision that is evidence of the attitude of the entire mechanism of state power to the person, the degree of respect for his rights and freedoms. Value/originality. The paper proposes to adopt a code "On public services" in order to improve public relations in the provision of public services by subjects of public administration, analyzed legal and regulatory acts on the basis of which local authorities provide public services, as well as legislative acts that define standards for the provision of public services.

Hospitals long ago shed their role as alms houses for the poor. What vestiges remain of the early American hospital are the tax-exempt, nonprofit hospital form and a general perception that hospitals, as charitable institutions, owe a duty to their communities. The appropriateness of the nonprofit hospital tax exemption has long been debated, and many theories have been advanced to justify the tax exemption of nonprofit hospitals. In a growing number of jurisdictions, however, state and local authorities have gone beyond the theoretical debate and are challenging the tax exemption of their nonprofit hospitals. For various reasons, efforts are afoot to capture greater community benefit from nonprofit hospitals.At the heart of such challenges is the debate over the nature and extent of the duty charitable institutions owe to their communities. A demand is growing for nonprofit hospitals to earn their tax exemptions by benefiting their communities in concrete ways. Some have been stripped of their tax-exempt status by local authorities or pressured to make payments in lieu of taxes. A number of states have recently implemented initiatives in an attempt to make hospitals more accountable for their community benefits. Many hospitals are responding to this heightened scrutiny in a proactive way, by voluntarily documenting community benefits. A number of nonprofit hospitals and hospital associations are cooperating with—or even sponsoring—state legislation in this area.
