IGA Handbook
Planning for Growth: Intergovernmental Agreements in Colorado is a handbook designed for local government staff and officials who are considering cooperative planning and specifically, intergovernmental agreements (IGAs). Developing IGAs can be a difficult process. This handbook describes what they are and how they are used, frequently asked questions, steps and tips, and provides sample agreements.
The sample agreements summarized in the handbook, as well as additional samples, can be downloaded in full; see the links below.
