City infrastructure such as buildings, playing fields, and roadway improvements benefit the community significantly, but the responsibility to fund the improvements seems to always fall on the shoulders of the city agency only. However, through strategic thinking and innovative win-win partnerships with stakeholders who benefit from these infrastructure improvements, agencies have the opportunity and ability to partner and obtain outside financial contributions towards these improvements. “Real world” experience examples of such financial partnership opportunities were identified, negotiated and implemented on a street resurfacing project, street widening project, cross walk improvements, soccer field synthetic turf and field fencing replacement project, and improvements to an iconic building at the end of beach pier will be shared. The audience will be able to benefit form the lessons learned perspective in the identification of opportunities for partnership, partnership outreach, negotiations, and implementation process. Attendees will be able to learn how to engage and maintain the communication with the partnership agencies throughout the process to ensure a successful relationship and outcome.
