I
I Organizational Study for the City of
I Shakopee
Prepared for City of Shakopee
I
I 1.0 Background
In December 2008, the City of Shakopee accepted a proposal form Short
Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to provide consultant services for an
I Organizational Study of the City's Public Works Department, specifically the
operations/maintenance function.
The study began with a]oint meeting of the Director of Public Works/City
I Engineer and the Public Works Supervisor's. Following that meeting
interviews were conducted with the Director of Public Works, Maintenance
Superintendent, Supervisor, Street, Sanitary and Storm Sewer and
I Maintenance Supervisor, Parks and Grounds.
These interviews, along with a review of various City documents form the
basis for these insights, observations and recommendations set forth in this
I study. My fmdings are supported by information gathered during the course
of this study and my 33 years of employment with the City of Golden Valley
as the Public Works OperationslMaintenance Manager. Their cooperation
I and contribution in providing information is hereby acknowledged and
greatly appreciated.
2.0 Observations
I I commend the City of Shakopee and the Public Works Department for the
strides made over the past 5 plus years based off the study done in 2003.
I Even with the addition of five new employees over this time period the
workload and mandates have increased and exceeded the man hours
available to keep up with expectations. With the growth that Shakopee has
experienced and will continue to experience it is vital to make sure staff is
I identifYing and confronting any immediate concerns and planning for the
future.
I I found the operations side of the Public Works department to have a
Director that is dedicated, determined and committed to a proactive approach
of managing the department. The supervisor's as well are experienced and
dedicated in providing a high quality of service to the community. Internal
I communication appears to be adequate but steps should be taken to improve
on this very important aspect of everyday business. Consensus by all was that
I
Page 1
I
I
I
nothing is broke but steps could be taken to improve the immediate and
I future needs within the department
It was obviously to me that although operations were functioning reasonably
I well considerations should be given to looking into some changes. Some of
these changes I will regard to as "Priority" and some categorized as
"Consideration" and other as "Discussion Item". A team approach with input
from all levels of supervision will help ensure support and "buy in" at all
I levels.
3.0 Recommendations
I The following is a list of insights, observations and recommendations that
can be used by the department as a guide or tool to potentially enhance
Public Works Operations and Maintenance.
I I am of a strong opinion that first line supervision within the operations
sector of a municipality is extremely valuable and sometimes under valued.
Most municipal employees work regular hours defined by an eight hour day,
I five days a week (M-F). Police and Fire, if full time, are 24-7 employees but
work rotating schedules with enough staffto accomplish this. Maintenance
employees are scheduled to work 40 hours weeks and also be available for
I after hours work and certainly for emergency services, (snow, ice, wind, rain,
sewer backups, etc). Operation supervisors not only work regular hours (M-
F) but also must be prepared and available for the unexpected/emergencies
that arise 24-7. An organizational structure that addresses this level of
I responsibility and respects the need for sometime away will find an effective
supervisory team.
I 4.0 Priority
1. Consider the creation of a Utility Division (Sanitary, Storm Sewer etc).
Sewer cleaning, lift station maintenance, storm pond maintenance are
I crucial operations and need everyday attentions to ensure mandates of
cleaning and inspections are being achieved. Supervision and staffmg to
be determined by workload.
I 2. Add permanent crew leaders/working foreman positions. These positions
to be a hourly wage position but will lend support to the supervisor in
planning, daily supervision and supporting the department overall in
I everyday operations. This position becomes the known authority,
competent person in the department when the supervisor is absent. This
added layer of supervision will support management and will help to
increase efficiency, productivity and allow the supervisor additional time
I for documentation, assurance of quality control, manage inventories,
monitor safety, personnel, work zone etc.
3. Consider the conversion of department supervisor's to exempt
I employees. Based on their level of responsibility, the hours expected of
them to work to be effective and the time spent beyond normal working
hours typically supports a salaried employee. Salaries should be
I comparable to municipalities of equal size and staffing.
4. Three potential organizational structures should be considered if it is
deemed appropriate to take action on the above recommendations. (See
I
Organizational Study for the City of Shakopee Page 2
I
I
I
Attached Examples). It needs to be emphasized that if the Utility
I Division is created and a restructuring does take place that the process
assures the most effective structure is matched to the supervision. If crew
leaders or working foreman positions are created those promotions
I should go to the best qualified personnel regardless of length of service
and be based on their abilities and the potential they possess to develop
into the type of supervisor, crew leader, foreman to best serve the
department and community in the long tenn.
I 5. Focus on better ways of communication. Put a plan in place to monitor
how communicating is being done. Consider weekly staff meetings to
I include weekly work plans. Include an update from each division that
consists of current activities and the status of on going maintenance
activities and projects.
I 6. Develop a matrix of maintenance activities, or work plans on a quarterly
or seasonal basis that has reasonable schedule time frames yet have
projected completion dates. This will assist the superintendent and
supervisors in managing the entire work force and reinforces the need for
I cooperation of staffing and equipment needs in accomplishing priority
work.
7. Develop a consistent perfonnance evaluations system. At a minimum
I these evaluations should be done on an annual basis with follow up as
deemed necessary resulting from the evaluation. Consistency and
accuracy is vital to the success of perfonnance evaluations. A team
I consisting of the director, supervisors meet and set criteria for preparing
these evaluations and then have a review to assure everyone has prepared
with the same approach. These evaluations will assist in dealing with any
I personnel issues and will have been discussed and come at no surprise to
any level of supervision.
8. Establish a 24-7 after hour standby system. A minimum one employee
I with the responsibility to be available 24-7 to receive a call from police
and begin the process of dealing with the concern/condition.
Consideration should be given to a one supervisor and one maintenance
I employee system. This will help to assure a consistent/reliable response
2417/365. Develop and on call book that consists of emergency contact
infonnation, pertinent infonnation to assist in making decisions or
solving problems. Requires compensation and union contract
I amendment.
5.0 Considerations
I 1. Continue to enhance/develop policies/proceduresIBMP's to ensure there
is consistency where needed. These need to be well thought out so that
staff can provide the service and meet the expectations. These are
I extremely valuable if they are thought out and written well prior to
adoption.
2. IfIwhen restructuring takes place work at ways to develop and manage a
I flexible work schedule as deemed necessary. Some examples that work
well are spring street sweeping, ice rink maintenance, early starts during
snow and ice season etc.
I
Organizational Study for the City of Shakopee Page 3
I
I
I
3. Begin a cross training program that has a goal of getting as many
I employees as possible versed in maintenance activities in the other
divisions they are currently not specializing in. Some examples would
be; understanding major maintenance activities within each division,
I understand emergency maintenance in each division, be able to operate
as many pieces of critical equipment as possible, lift stations operations,
ability to clean a trunk sewer line etc.
I 4. If a forester position is added in the future, consider this position to be
placed in the Public Works department or include job description duties
to work with the Public Works department. This position could add
I value to the department in many different areas such as; assist with snow
and ice control, other different winter maintenance activities, summer
related storm management, streetscape projects and management, etc.
I 5. Strong encouragement and support for continuing education
opportunities. Encourage current supervisors to attend the North
Hennepin program and affiliate with appropriate associations and peers.
I Superintendent should be considered for the leadership academy and
encouraged to attend MPW A events as well as develop a network with
peers.
I 6. Continue to utilize small committees where in place already and organize
additional to assist in evaluating equipment needs/replacements, safety
concerns, policies, procedures, etc. These committee (s) should meet as
I often as deemed necessary.
6.0 Discussion
1. Consider developing team building opportunities
I 2. Staff/supervisor's weekly availability list for weekend/holiday after
hours call outs. Coincides with standby system.
3. In house maintenance activities/projects "vs" contracting some
I activities/projects. To maintain an acceptable level of service in all
aspects of operations regular and mandated maintenance activities need
to be given fIrst priority. If time allows selected projects that fIt staff
I expertise should be given consideration and where not, these should be
look into as contract projects.
