German to English translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Government / Politics
German term or phrase: Behörden
This is not part of a translation assignment but rather a short note that I need to translate from German to English for my own use. I haven't translated any German in the past 20 years and would appreciate some help with two words in this phrase:

(the project) einige Probleme mit den *Ansessigen* und den *Behoehrden* hat.

My dictionaries and the web have not been any help here...
Many thanks in advance!
