Services to New Cities
Starting up a new city can be a challenging and daunting task. Colin Baenziger & Associates can bring its expertise to bear providing a new city with the operational and financial expertise it needs so it becomes effective immediately.
Most important, the new city must find it's first permanent manager. Having assisted four cities in recruiting their first manager as well as having served as the first manager in a newly incorporated city, Colin Baenziger is in a unique position to help you find the right person.
Next the new council needs to establish its goals and objectives for the first six months and first year. CB&A can conduct strategic planning workshops to formalize these. CB&A can also conduct a session for the community to define what is its long-term vision for the community.
Still, the day-to-day cannot be ignored. A budget needs to be finalized and the creation of the new city leaves a void. The county no longer has jurisdiction over many matters within the city's boundaries and action needs to be taken to fill that void. Among other things, building codes, franchise agreements, utility taxes, cable television, traffic and pollution regulations need to be enacted. Additionally arrangements with the county need to be negotiated so services can continue until the new city can take them over. CB&A will work with the city's attorney to resolve these issues.
Internally, the new city will need an on-site professional manager to respond to residents and to oversee day-to-day operations and to perform the mundane tasks of applying for revenue sharing, establishing bank accounts, accounting for funds as they are spent, establishing temporary village offices and meeting space, acquire furniture, telephone service and other utilities; acquire office supplies and equipment such as a copier and computers; and to hire a core staff.
CB&A staff members have and will address all these needs in a way that provides the new city with a professional, polished operation immediately.
