Episode Details

North Plains, Oregon, is in chaos after a wave of resignations left city hall running on empty—no mayor, no department heads, and even the city attorney calling it an unprecedented crisis. Enter Ross Schultz, a retired city manager hired as interim boss for $125/hour, tasked with fixing the mess before September—or until they find a permanent replacement. He’s already planning to borrow staff from other cities and tackle the biggest problems head-on. But with city hall closed to the public, meetings postponed, and three years of financial audits overdue (blamed on pandemic and staffing shortages), residents are feeling the strain—and the clock is ticking.
