  5. Adapting to New Fiscal Environment $1.4 B Reduction in FY 12 $2.2B Reduction since FY10 IMCOM is successfully reducing in cost and size while continuing to support Soldiers and Families

  6. Partnerships & Privatization • A success story! • Housing: Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) • Lodging: Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) • Utilities: Utility Privatization • Transitioning Soldiers: Dept of Labor & Veterans Affairs • Survivor Assistance: TAPS, Gold Star Mothers • Municipal Services: Monterey CA, Sierra Vista AZ • Critical components of our vision for Installations 2020

  7. Why Municipal Partnerships? • Potential cost savings to government and partner • Improved city services without increased tax burden • Stability for government; not changing contractor every few years • Leverage core competencies vice duplication of capabilities • Excess capacity may exist in municipality • Strengthens bonds between community and military installation • “Strategic Value” for community • “Success breeds success” Must be willing to engage head on and fight through every obstacle. The wins are worth the effort!

  8. Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program • Initial plan was City operating the on-post library as “branch” of city library system • Army spent $392K per year for post library—to deliver substandard library support • Initial cost to meet City standards $813K, annual operating costs $428K • City library is exceptional; Post library is sub-standard. • 80% of Fort personnel live in local community. • This could have been the end of discussion as not economically viable to city to participate, but….

  9. Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program A New Idea! • Could Army and City partner to provide library services? • Use the city first class library and close on post library. • Army provides $60K a year to city to support unique Army requirements. • City library provides library services to city and Fort residents • Result: $350K per year savings for Army and BETTER SERVICE for soldiers and families! • Approved by Asst SECARMY JAN 2007 • Partnership implemented MAR 07 • First city/military partnership for library services in DoD!!!

  10. Lessons Learned • Legislative authority is powerful • Treat project development as a discussion between partners, not a “contract negotiation” • Must understand rate structure to include salaries, overhead, benefits, and equipment in “pricing” services • Bring contracting and lawyers in early as part of team; city and govt. • Understand Service Contract Act implications • Must dedicate staff/time to work partnership issues • Municipality and Govt must have “advocate” spearheading issues, without “buy-in” it won’t happen • Change will create resistance--- plan for it • Must be Commander’s and Mayor/Manager’s priority!
