Excerpt from Evaluating Enabling Laws for Special Districts: A Case Study in Oklahoma State enabling laws for natural resource special districts prescribe the purposes for which districts may be created, outline their organizational framework, and authorize their financial and operating powers. An outline was developed for evaluating enabling laws for such districts with regard to democratic processes, legal powers, intergovernmental planning and cooperation, project feasibility analysis, flexibility, and reviewing agencies.

The proliferation of urban special-district governments by private means has far-reaching consequences for the public domain. The utility district is the most rapidly growing form of government in the United States today. There are almost one thousand of these units in Texas; nearly four hundred are in the greater Houston area alone. Utility districts have been the mechanism through which suburban development has occurred over the past three decades. Millions of people live within their jurisdiction, and virtually no one in the United States is unaffected by them, for their influence on the migration patterns from city to suburb has been enormous. Yet little is known about them, and even less has been written about their operations. This carefully documented study, which combines participant-observer research with statistical analyses and extensive interviewing, focuses on two water districts in Harris County to provide new understanding of how little governments function. Virginia Perrenod provides a well-reasoned theoretical explanation for the performance of special districts and draws provocative conclusions about their probable unwillingness to cooperate voluntarily to promote the welfare of the larger community. In a chapter that will be especially relevant for public officials at all levels, she proposes realistic measures to secure cooperation for the common good. This ground-breaking case study of special districts in one of America's largest and fastest-growing urban areas should stimulate further thought and research into the relationship between political structures and environmental and other public policies.

The subject of this bibliography is special districts and authorities created under State enabling legislation for the purpose of constructing or operating improvements, or of providing services to the inhabitants of an area. Thus, school districts and autonomous governmental corporations created by the federal government, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, are not included.

The principal purpose of this study is to seek ways of exploring the district as a solution to the metropolitan problem by evaluating then existing district legislation, not in relation to other solutions, but in relation to its own potential.

An analysis of the political consequences of special district governance in drinking water management that offers new insights into the influence of political structures on local policymaking. More than ever, Americans rely on independent special districts to provide public services. The special district—which can be as small as a low-budget mosquito abatement district or as vast as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey—has become the most common form of local governance in the United States. In Governing the Tap, Megan Mullin examines the consequences of specialization and the fragmentation of policymaking authority through the lens of local drinking-water policy. Directly comparing specific conservation, land use, and contracting policies enacted by different forms of local government, Mullin investigates the capacity of special districts to engage in responsive and collaborative decision making that promotes sustainable use of water resources. She concludes that the effect of specialization is conditional on the structure of institutions and the severity of the policy problem, with specialization offering the most benefit on policy problems that are least severe. Mullin presents a political theory of specialized governance that is relevant to any of the variety of functions special districts perform. Governing the Tap offers not only the first study of how the new decentralized politics of water is taking shape in American communities, but also new and important findings about the influence of institutional structures on local policymaking.
