The DLS Technical Assistance Section provides consultant-type services to cities and towns on municipal operations, government structure and matters of financial management. TA conducts financial management reviews, regionalization studies, charter analyses and provides email responses to questions on day-to-day fiscal issues. Published reports, best practices, financial calculators and inter-municipal agreement drafting guides are among the resources posted to the financial management assistance area of our website. New information is continually added to keep local officials up-to-date on ways to improve financial operations in their community.
