Last I50 Survey Conducted In 2004 2010 2004 2004 Based an the summary information, the study department are strikingly similar in the services they provide and the methods by which they provide them.

Foundational Policy Documents Foundational policy documents are those books, handbooks and manuals that allow the organization to exist and govern its operations, both from an administrative and operational perspective. Many sets of these documents can exist within a single agency and the comprehensiveness of the documents can be highly varied. In general, those organizations that function as governmental entities (county, municipal and special districts) tend to have a mare comprehensive set of policy documents than do predominantly volunteer agencies. This is not due to the volunteer agencies' lack of attention to the issue but rather state and federal rules that local government units must adhere to in this regard. ESCI reviewed the policy documents for each agency as outlined in the following figure. page 14 emeryenry scrnccs Con,uE np
