In the Partnership's first phase we collected, analyzed and summarized benchmarking data that was identified and agreed to by all participants;held numerous conference calls to discuss the data and conduct follow-up data gathering;and facilitated a call among the four city managers to discuss the data, identify areas for further discussion, and confirm next steps. The next step is to facilitate in-person discussions among the service area managers from each partner city for each of the four areas.These discussions will enable deeper dialogue among fellow practitioners, leading to useful learning about successful techniques that each manager can incorporate into his/her work plan for organizational improvements going forward. Management Partners is well qualified to assist you and your managers in pursuing greater understanding of the benchmarking data, including reference to best practices.We have rich experience in comparative service delivery analysis, local government service sharing, and organizational improvement.We believe this effort is creating a true partnership among the four cities that can lead to substantive results among the managers who are directly involved in leading service delivery. Scope of Work Activity 1: Start Project Based on the work to date and your guidance following the review of data,Management Partners is gathering supplementary information to incorporate into the baseline data for analysis.These data will be used by the service area managers to spur discussions about service provision and best practices.We will also research national best practices in the four identified service areas to broaden the discussion and add to the ideas generated by the service area managers. Management Partners will take the lead in coordinating and scheduling the workshops,to be held in Wichita(fleet management and police)and Fort Worth(code enforcement and fire). Activity 2:Facilitate Workshops Management Partners will prepare background information in advance of each workshop.It is anticipated that the lead manager from each City will join her service area manager for each of the four planned workshops. Management Partners'team members will facilitate workshops with the service area managers and lead managers from each jurisdiction.The discussions will be centered around questions and comments arising from the benchmarking data, issues for further discussion that have been previously identified, and best practices in performing specific functions within that service area.Moreover, it is likely that each service area manager will particular matters of interest that can be pursued in informal discussions with colleagues from partner cities. Vendor Services Agreement—Exhibit A Page 12 of 16 Activity 3: Report Results Management Partners will summarize the results of the discussions and assist each service manager in developing a draft action plan for the ideas that seem appropriate to pursue for implementation in their city. We anticipate that some of the ideas will be immediately attractive for action while others may require further consideration with colleagues they work with. The draft action plans will be compiled and provided to each city manager. Management Partners will provide the city managers with an assessment of results in preparation for their conference call discussion of the results.
