As a veteran owned and operated organization, Arndt Municipal Support Inc. provides local government leaders the professional support they need to serve their community.
In our field, we as managers and our administration teams are often spread thin. Often times, some of the most foundational elements of our organization get neglected because we simply do not have the time it takes to overhaul the big projects that are vital for successful operations. That is why I am so grateful for the support of James Arndt. If you have not had the opportunity to work with James, you are missing out! He has helped the City of Berea to completely revamp our pay scale system including doing all the research and data compilation. He has also helped us to update all job descriptions and to make a 10-year financial forecast report. Mr. Arndt is professional, personable, energetic, and his skills are well-rounded. As a consultant he continues to learn and grow with market trends such as becoming a John Maxwell Leadership Team Member in an effort to help municipalities to promote teamwork and build strong leadership within the organization. James’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of local government is unmatched. I highly recommend partnering with him on any project big or small for your community; you will not be disappointed!
Really enjoyed the Mastermind Group. Please keep me posted on future opportunities to network and grow professionally. Finally, one of the best take-aways for me from the Mastermind book was the, “Thanks, I Noticed” concept. I intend to order myself some stationery saying, “Thanks I noticed” and make it easily available in my car, purse, office, and home so that I can shoot off a quick note to people whom I notice doing good things. Such a simple idea but one that can make a big difference. Loved it!
Thank you, Jim, for handling our strategic planning for the City of Greenville. Your company did an excellent job in engaging the public, city council, and our leadership team. Most importantly, everyone enjoyed the process and felt their voice mattered. We were able to establish three-year goals and the benchmarks to achieve those goals. Our city values have been better defined and everyone has a clear vision for the next three years. I have had numerous people tell me that it was so easy and productive. I am grateful that it was also affordable. We look forward to working with Arndt Municipal Support in the future.
I was recently fortunate enough to be involved in Jim’s delivery of the DISC Workshop along with several City team members. Jim was able to help us connect our individual DISC Assessment results to our daily interaction with others and our management approach. He is so engaging, relatable and overall easy to learn from. The whole exercise was stress-free, interactive and left us eager to invest more into our newfound tool!

Jim was one of the first mangers I met when I entered the profession. Over the years I’ve learned that Jim is a true servant leader whose positive energy allows him to build strong teams. Most important though is that Jim has great integrity and can be counted on to follow through on his commitments.
