This Municipality Resource Library is a set of educational resources designed specifically for municipalities.

Municipalities asked and we answered.

In 2021, our office surveyed over 100 municipalities. The purpose was to learn what educational resources the Ombudsman’s office can provide to address areas of interest and how to best deliver this information.

This growing list provides information about administrative fairness, the Ombudsman’s role and the office’s working relationship with municipalities. Each resource focuses on specific topics of interest to municipal administrators and their staff. Our guides are not meant to be prescriptive, but instead suggest considerations to assist in the development of fair and reasonable policies.
