CITY OF OLIVIA | Staffing Study Proposal CONTENTS OF THE PROP OSAL ■ Description of the Firm ■ Timeline ■ Approach to the Process ■ List of Organizational Study Clients ■ Service Team ■ Fee ■ Scope of Work Summary ■ Process Details ■ References DESCRIPTION OF THE F IRM Proudly based in Minnesota, David Drown Associates (DDA) is a full-service consulting firm with more than 20 years’ experience providing more than 450 government clients with a full range of fiscal and economic development services, compensation and classification services, executive searches, strategic planning facilitation and organizational studies. We know local government well, and we work hard to keep our services equipped to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients. DDA Human Resources, Inc. (DDA HR) currently employs eleven individuals serving cities, counties, and special districts throughout Minnesota. All our management consultants came to DDA HR from successful careers in city or county government. This practical experience sets us apart and helps us deliver a sound, comprehensive product that is feasible to implement. Because we are a smaller firm with low overhead, we are nimble, efficient, and reasonably priced. We invest time in building relationships within the communities we work so we can deliver services that reflect the community. We know and understand the complexities of local government. APPROACH TO THE PROC ESS Our approach for this analysis will be to determine the most appropriate staffing structure for providing city services in the Administration Department. We will comprehensively assess department structure with a focus on relationships within, interview elected officials and Administration employees, review financial information, and develop recommendations and implementation strategies to assure a cost effective, customer-oriented service delivery system. Communication with the City is a high priority. In addition to meeting with stakeholders on site, regular updates via phone or email will be provided to the City at every stage of the process.
