Cooperative boundary agreements can reduce some of the conflict regarding boundary issues, including annexation, that often arise between local governments. The Legislature has provided express enabling authority for these agreements.(96)  The communities involved in such an agreements undertake cooperative preparation of a plan for the areas concerned. The plan for changing or maintaining boundaries, and for controlling land use and services is sent to the Department of Administration. If the plan is approved, a contract binding the parties to it is put into effect.
