Who Advises the Council? Sources of Advice in Smalltown Governments

Keith Snavely and Alvin D. Sokolow

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 03, issue 2

Abstract: Smalltown governments must grapple with some of the same issues that perplex larger governments, yet cannot afford the high-priced consultants and professionals big cities call on. To make their decisions, small towns have devised an informal process that uses local talent not officially represented on the governing board. That process can work. Based on case studies of eight nonmetro town governments in California and Illinois.
