Shared Environment • Reduced budgets & fiscal challenges • Manpower cuts; hiring freezes; realignments; furloughs? • Force structure changes and defense industry reductions • Innovative partnerships—sparked by new legislation • Need to make “Every Dollar Count,” provide quality services, allocate risk, share value This is NOT business as usual
Vision and Goals AF and Local Community Leadership is key! Bring AF leadership and resource support as Installation and Community leaders develop, prioritize and implement community partnership initiatives Practice the “Art of the Possible” Identify ways to get to “Yes” by identifying resource requirements: Time, Money, Manpower, Authority
Possible Stakeholders • Local, State & Federal Governments (City Managers, Emergency Management, and Public Works) • Regional Planning Organizations • Key Tenant Organizations • Economic Development Organizations • Educators and University Organizations • Non-Governmental Organizations • Conservation Organizations • Union Representatives • Utility Companies • Community Thought Leaders (e.g., Community Alliances, Chambers of Commerce) • Non-Profits • Private sector experts (as appropriate)
Potential Cross-Functional Initiatives • Chaplain Programs • Pharmacy • Data Center Training/Cable Maintenance • Expand bus system • Airport Operations and Maintenance • University training of critical need interns • Strategic Sourcing • Sharing of Security intelligence • Prisoner Detention • Shared use Firing Ranges • Cooperative Police Training • Many of the AF Services provided Airmen support programs: • Youth Programs • Lodging • Community Educational Center near front gate • Waste Management/Recycling • Snow removal • Cooperative Fire Training/Support
AF Community Partnership Process The AF Community Partnership Process is simple: • Provide a Partnership “Brokering Team” when Installation and Community Leaders commit to using the AF process • Schedule a series of 6 meetings that enable identifying potential partnership initiatives—this series of meetings helps identify potential initiatives that address mutual need and capacities • Once initiatives are “fleshed-out” in adequate detail, bring in experts to help define the way forward—this will help drive initiative priority • By the time of the Table Top Exercise, identify exactly what resources are required, when resources will be needed, and who programs The process is simple, but gaining efficiency requires hard work
Mr. Tim Lyon, Assistant City Manager, Midwest City, OK and Tinker AFB – P4 – Section 331 Partnership Projects June 12, 2013

Mr. Ivan Bolden, Chief, Army’s Privatization and Partnerships – Public-Public Partnering June 12, 2013
Multi-phased Public-Public Partnership (P3) Strategy • Phase I: ASA IE&E issues P3 endorsement • Phase II: ACSIM issues an EXORD to ACOMs/DRUs • Three categories of partnership proposals • Quick Win • Moderately complex • Complex • Phase III: ACSIM evaluates universe of P3s and drafts policy • Phase IV: ACSIM issues Army Policy concerning P3
Phase II: Delegation of Partnership Approval Authority • Quick Wins—Delegated to Garrison Commanders • No exchange of funds (barter only) • No conflicts with existing guidance, policy, regulations or laws • Moderately Complex—Delegated to ACOM/DRU HQ • No exchange of funds (barter only) • No conflicts with Army or DoD guidance, policy, regulations or laws • ACOM/DRU has lead to resolve conflicts • Complex---All approval authority initially remains at HQDA • Includes any exchange of funds • Conflicts with current Army or DoD guidance, policy, regulations or laws
Phase III: Evaluation of Partnerships • After 6 and 12 months, OACSIM review portfolio of P3s in concert with Secretariat, ACOMs, DRUs • Detect trends • Ascertain progress • Prepare joint service newsletter on P3 Best Practices • Consider future potential of regional partnerships that could be formed with other Services • Collaborate with other Services as needed to promote regionalization • Evaluate need for in-depth facilitated brainstorming sessions • Establish P3 Working Group to share progress with Defense Support organizations represented on a national basis
Phase IV: Issue Army Policy • Establish clear definitions • Establish metrics, progress reporting, and oversight process • Possible further delegation of approval authority • Possible addition of dollar threshold values applied to approval levels
Summary • To accelerate use of P3, will consider maximum delegation of approval authority, as appropriate, and balance with risk • We will maintain close ties with Air Force to share ideas and Lessons Learned • Continued Senior Army Leadership support is needed to ensure maximum advantage is obtained from new Sec 331 authority • If changes in guidance, policy, regulation or law are required, ARSTAF must be open and supportive
Ms. Rochelle Dornatt, Office of Representative Sam Farr – Section 331 Legislative Intent June 12, 2013
History of the “Monterey Model” • History of the “Monterey Model” • Initial Glitches (firefighters, federal unions) • Renewal of authority, permanently
Expanding the Concept to Other Bases • First, reticence to embrace the concept (within DOD and by base commanders) • Then, acceptance of the economic benefits • Finally, finding the right environment for passage (getting the politics right)
Congressional Intent Behind the Language • Economic dynamic • Achieving O&M efficiencies • Solidifying and enhancing the base-community relationship
Problems with Execution • Sole sourcing • Small business subcontract
Possible Solutions? • DOD clarification • NDAA report language • New legislation
