Municipal Services
If you're a municipality of 400 or 400,000 I can help!
Time to hire a new Clerk, Treasurer or Administrator?
People leave positions now more than they ever have. If you lack an HR department, don't know where to post and publish your job openings and want to get qualified applicants...let the Guru handle it for you.
Interim Staffing
Are you in need of temporary staffing?Need a Clerk, Treasurer or Administrator for a limited amount of time until you hire a permanent one? I teach Public Budgeting, was a Clerk for 17 years and stepped in to help out in 7 municipalities over my career. I can get you through to the other side: Let's do this...together.
Grant Writing
I have successfully written grants to state agencies and private foundations alike. With over 20 successful grants written, I can make sure you get the funding you need whether it's for AEDs, new vehicles, or meeting federal funding requirements. Let the Guru show you the money!
Minute Taking
Do you have a backlog of minutes? Need someone to step in for a few meetings and alleviate the work load? With over 20 years of minute taking experience, I can help and am an expert. Consider it done!
Mentorship and Career Counseling
New staff members, especially those new to government, typically don't have a network of support set up on day 1. I can help. With my network of municipal staff colleagues across the country (literally from Maine to Alaska!) I can mentor new employees and set them up with folks around them to network with.
Public Records Training
I was a Records Custodian for 17 years, and am well versed in records retention laws in Wisconsin, and across the country. If your Board/Council, Department Heads or Employees need a refresher or a crash course in Records Training, I'm your guy.
Technology Upgrades
Let the Guru do the dirty work for you!
Website and Digital Tool Vendor Vetting and Selection
Let your staff focus on their important work and let me vet vendors and their products for you. With my experience, I know the questions to ask and can get the right price to fit in your budget. Residents, visitors and elected officials expect to have a solid digital footprint. Let's get yours into the 21st century!
Website/Digital Tool Audit
Can folks reach what they need in 3 clicks or less? Do all your links and pages work? Do you have a search function and does it work? Is everything functioning properly? I'll evaluate your user experience, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and offer suggestions on where to change the layout. Sometimes an experienced set of eyes is exactly what you need.
The Government Guru: Experience. Education. Excellence.
