Summary
The committee voted to add a workforce optimization and comparative benchmarking study to the 2025 audit plan to compare Minneapolis staffing and service levels with peer cities and recommend organizational changes.
The Minneapolis City Audit Committee unanimously adopted an amendment Oct. 20 to add a workforce optimization and comparative benchmarking study to the 2025 risk-based integrated audit plan.
City Auditor Timmerman described the study as a cross-departmental review that will compare staffing levels, including sworn-officer minimums and department complements, against comparable cities to identify opportunities for efficiency and better alignment with service expectations. Timmerman said City Operations staff have agreed to participate.
Committee members said the study will provide useful context for budget and staffing decisions and voted to add the engagement to the plan. Chair Elliot Payne moved the motion to add the study; the motion was seconded and carried at the meeting.
