Dated November 12, 2019, this Committee of the Whole agenda features a presentation by RW Management Group on the City of Superior’s Organizational and Staffing Study Final Report (dated November 6, 2019). The study was commissioned by the Mayor and City Council to examine efficiencies across departments (excluding police and fire) and to recommend structural, staffing, and technology changes that improve performance and transparency.

RW interviewed elected officials and staff (including Councilor Ludwig and the HR Director), reviewed budgets and operations, and produced findings such as adopting a citywide strategic plan, creating a professional City Administrator role, correcting misaligned titles (e.g., “Chief of Staff” to Executive Assistant), modernizing payroll/timekeeping, and reallocating legal duties. The report also outlines measurable fiscal impacts and urges careful fund balance use for capital and IT upgrades—key accountability themes for taxpayers. Follow-up actions include Council review, potential ordinances to establish an Administrator, software procurement, and staffing adjustments aligned with the recommendations.
