What services has the private sector typically provided to cities under a public-private partnership?
Municipalities have been employing public-private partnerships for decades to deliver many services to their citizens, including water, wastewater, solid waste collection and disposal, snow removal, street maintenance and many other public works functions. Some communities also outsource office functions such as copying and printing or plan and permit review. Delivering complete “city hall” functions is simply an extension of a highly successful and thoroughly proven service delivery model.
