INTRODUCTION
The success of Community COMPASS and the 2030
Plan and Implementation Framework rests on the collaboration between groups
and individuals across the public, private, and civic sectors in Hamilton
County. In a county with 49 local governments, alignment of public sector
decisions and intergovernmental collaboration will play a critical role in
implementation of Hamilton County’s 2030 Plan.
As this plan moves ahead into implementation, coordination across the entire
metropolitan area will be important to ensure success of various
initiatives, and to coordinate local and county efforts with those taking
place at the regional level. The intent of the Hamilton County Policy Plan
for Intergovernmental Collaboration is to provide this coordination and
assure appropriate alignment and consistency between local and regional
goals.
The following set of draft policies is based on recommended policies for
local governments developed in a five year process of discussion and
refinement by the Land Use Commission of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional
Council of Governments (OKI). The OKI planning process parallels the efforts
of Community COMPASS across an 8-county region. OKI established the Land Use
Commission (LUC), with representation from each county (including more than
30 representatives from Hamilton County), for the specific purpose of
producing a plan that will establish regional policies for land use, public
facilities, and services.
OKI’s process for creating a strategic regional policy plan is in response
to federal transportation legislation enacted in 1991 and 1998. The LUC’s
recommendations are intended to guide local and county jurisdictions in
ensuring that land use and transportation linkages are considered in all
planning processes. Through the LUC’s work, strategic issues, goals,
objectives, and draft policies have been identified for transportation,
public facilities and services, natural resources and open space, housing,
economic development, and land use. The scope of the LUC’s work includes
policies related to six of the twelve elements of Community COMPASS. The
policy plan does not include policies related to the Community COMPASS
elements of civic engagement and social capital, culture and recreation,
education, environmental and social justice, governance, and health and
human services.
The Policy Plan for Hamilton County will be revised as OKI finalizes and
approves its policy recommendations and as local governments and other
stakeholders in Hamilton County continue to review and improve the
recommended policies applicable to Hamilton County.

No foreign policy - no matter how ingenious - has any
chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the
hearts of none.
