priorities established at the regional and community level.

integrate state and local resources and services; and
  (B) Engage private partners in problem solving.
  (f) Identify reforms that will advance the goals of reducing
duplication, the fragmentation of functions and costs to
communities.
  (g) Utilize principles developed by state agencies to improve
service delivery within available resources and in an innovative
fashion.
  (2) The Governor, in coordination with the Director of the
Oregon Department of Administrative Services, shall develop a
plan to align state economic and community development programs
with regional and community based development programs. The plan
must propose changes in state programs that promote regional and
community based problem solving as described in subsection (1) of
this section while preserving state program objectives and the
delivery of services by those programs.
  (3) The plan required under subsection (2) of this section is
not subject to the rulemaking requirements of ORS chapter 183,
