As a key member <br />of the City's staff, your City Engineer must function like a full -time <br />staff member while also providing the right amount of services to meet <br />your needs. We must constantly tailor services to meet your current <br />needs but yet always be available to provide more when necessary. <br />Proven Extension of City Staff <br />We have dedicated Todd Blank as your City Engineer. Todd has over 23 <br />years of Municipal Engineering experience, is a Principal of SEH, has <br />provided effective City Engineering solutions for more than 15 years, <br />and is supported by a full- service team with successful Lino Lakes <br />experience. Todd will be assisted by Tony Kutzke. <br />We will review your needs together with you and determine ways to <br />reduce your engineering costs. This may include finding ways to <br />provide accessibility to you and the public while reducing standard City <br />Hall office hours, or finding ways to use tools like GIS to improve <br />operations. Todd will provide flexible City Hall office hours that allow <br />appropriate access while potentially reducing your engineering costs. <br />We will provide a level of service that efficiently fits your current needs <br />and creates more value for you. When not at City Hall, we are still <br />accessible to your staff and constituents. You can expect a prompt <br />response, sometimes within minutes, even if just to acknowledge <br />an issue and discuss solutions. If we are not at <br />City Hall, we can be there in less than 30 <br />minutes. <br />As a City Engineer, Todd has attended <br />regular Department Head meetings, <br />Community Development team meetings, <br />held regular City Hall office hours and even <br />served as acting Community Development <br />Director when there was a staff vacancy. This <br />experience allows us to get up to speed <br />quickly to provide more value for you. <br />Transition Plan <br />When a City makes a change in their <br />professional staff, one concern is the <br />transition to a new firm that may not be <br />familiar with the City or City staff.
