The organisational structure
The Municipality of Emmen has an administrative organisation that includes six departments, the executive administrative unit, and the fire brigade. The fire brigade is supervised by the chief fire officer, while each department has its own director. The City Clerk heads the executive administrative unit. These managers meet once a week in the management meeting to coordinate their activities. This meeting is headed by the City Clerk, who serves as a link between the administrative system and the political administration. As the highest-ranking manager, the City Clerk has final responsibility for the proper implementation of decisions made by the Municipal Executive (Mayor and Aldermen) and the Municipal Council. He is also responsible for policy coordination and for the efficient and effective conducting of business. To carry out his task, he has the Executive Administrative Unit at his disposal employing more than 65 persons. Every department employs between approximately 100 and 150 people. The Municipality of Emmen thus offers employment to about 1100 civil servants.
