Issues and Discussion
 Agency turnover
 Data sharing complexity
 Transaction costs*
 Power sharing*
“I don’t have enough time, so I was interested
in the topic professionally and personally, but I
need to link it to the work I do for the City.
Things need to be linked to
accomplishments—it has to be done within a
year. That way I can justify my time for the
City”
“It’s harder to set your priorities and then lay
them out on the table and have other agencies
come in and say, “Well, let’s change that for
you.”…It changes your work plan; it changes
your focus; it changes what people do on the
ground. There is a lot that goes into giving up
your autonomy.”

Networks as Bridge Building
With the teamwork approach we got a lot of synergy…It is more
difficult to work in an [collaborative] manner, with so many
different programs…It is not easy to build bridges, but once you
have built bridges it easy to travel them.
