In his report for the Urban Taskforce Australia, Professor Percy Allan recommends that local government adopt the Lakewood model of contracting in services. Lakewood was a sleepy California town threatened with being engulfed by urban sprawl — until they found a novel way of managing costs and improving services.<\/p>\n
Lakewood of the early 1950s was David fighting the Goliath of Long Beach, a city intent on gobbling up its unincorporated neighbour parcel by parcel. The legal turf battles were exhausting Lakewood\u2019s defenders, most of whom were transplants drawn to the promise of this sleepy village-turned-post-war boomtown. Then along came John Sanford Todd, a struggling attorney and proud Lakewood resident, who dreamed up a way to preserve his community\u2019s independence without it going broke: It would become a new kind of city, one that contracted out for police protection, trash collection, fire fighting – just about every service a city provides.<\/p>\n
That practice is commonplace in the USA today, but it was a revelation a half century ago. Todd\u2019s vision, dubbed \u201cthe Lakewood Plan,\u201d became a model of local government that informed incorporation drives throughout Southern California and beyond. Suburbia took shape in a rash of \u201ccontract cities,\u201d including the neighbouring Dairy Valley (now Cerritos), La Puente, Bellflower, Duarte, Irwindale, Norwalk and Santa Fe Springs, which sprang up in such rapid succession that some observers began proclaiming the end of big cities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There may even be opportunities to extend this model to metropolitan or state level, where states contract in and share the costs of centralized services provided by specialist corporations. This could apply to areas as diverse as road transport, police services and payroll functions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
