The Oregon Constitution gives voters the right to adopt, amend and revise a charter. The City of Bend Charter of 1995 grants legal home rule authority to the City and sets the duties of the Council, Mayor and City Manager. The Charter was submitted to and approved by the voters of the City of Bend in May of 1995.
High level business models differ as a function of an analysis of the type of business an enterprise conducts. Once that inclusive integrated model is designed and initially sold to a business enterprise the investment in creating a system for that sector becomes the basic model to sell with some tailoring to other enterprises conducting similar business. Some rule of thumb says there are only about 8 different business enterprise models into which most all private sector businesses fall into. Beyond that pattern it is only necessary to tailor make specifics.
Government and governance all seem to fall into a basic Federal State and local models. Not surprising because they are all driven by a structure of rules called law. Consultants that re-design big corporate business intimate their analysis by first asking what the rules of the company are. Corporate rules systems vary but are usually driven by the their business sector.
So....where are the big buck consultants that want to sell their integrating package of software to the 3 levels of governance that are all basically doin business in the same way to restructure the rules of relationships upon which the efficiency of governance rest?
Are you kidding/
Kill the Golden Goose?
That is not a good business model.
Private gain at public expense is a much better one that keeps on milking the cow.
There is a lot of money to be made in reinventing the wheel for every car it fits.
That business model works at all levels. It is fenced model to the extent that each city, county, state would have to design its own Home Rule system at great expense and do not have the money or talent to do that.
Unless........
Some smart city or county or state with a lot of technical expertise does it first. Puts a patent lock on it and sells it to every other city or county as a governance package. The citizens of the creating City/County would not have to pay taxes anymore! They would be receiving dividends!

What is being sold to cities and counties is e-government but that does not really restructure government to serve its citizens. It only creates a better user interface to the old legacy back office.
What big business sells a Home Rule package system?

Home rule is the power of a local city or county to set up its own system of self-government without receiving a charter from the state. Home rule is allowed undersome state constitutions. The authority to act in local affairs is transferred from state law to a local charter, adopted and, as need be amended, by the voters through referendum. Home rule shifts much of the responsibility for local government from the state legislature to the local community. A county that adopts a home rule charter has the ability to amend its governmental organization and powers to suit its needs. A home rule charter is, in essence, a local constitution.
