Part II. Questions Concerning Individual Institutions 0f The Government of Our Voivodeship
Question 7: What is the role of associations of communes and counties as well as metropolitan associations?
7.1 Communes, counties and cities of our Voivodeship may be associated with each other and with communes, counties and cities of other Voivodeships in associations and self-governing associations in order to exchange experiences, perform public tasks more effectively and implement joint ventures. These associations may include local government units of the same as well as different levels. Our Voivodeship particularly supports metropolitan associations involving a city and local government units located in its vicinity. On the other hand, it is forbidden to establish an association to which the county and some communes located within the county belong.
7.2 An association of communes, counties or a metropolitan association shall be established by a resolution of the councils of at least two local government units. Such a resolution must also lay down the by-laws of the association.
7.3 Accession to an existing association requires the consent of the board and the council of the local government unit planning to join and the consent of the association issued in the procedure laid down in the bylaws of that association.
7.4 Where an association is to take over the tasks of a commune, county or a city, the consent of residents in a Local Electronic Referendum or a Local Referendum is necessary for the formation of an association, or for the accession of a commune, county or city to an existing association.
