Welcome from the City Manager’s Office

Hello, I am Scott Erickson, the Ironwood City Manager.  I am delighted that you have chosen to visit us via the internet and encourage you to participate in our numerous community activities.  I was appointed City Manager of Ironwood in January 2006.  My family and I are pleased to be in the area and look forward to enjoying all of the amenities that the area has to offer, such as: skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, golfing, lake superior beaches, friendly neighbors and a great place to raise our children.

Under a Commission/Manager form of government, the City Manager serves at the discretion of the City Commission.  The City Manager is similar to the general manager in a business corporation and is responsible for the overall management and administration of the day-to-day operations of the City.  The City Manager provides professional leadership and direction in the administration of the policies and objectives established by the City Commission. 

The Manager, through staff, presents alternatives and pragmatic ideas, innovations, and solutions to the City Commission for consideration.  The Manager and staff keep the City Commission informed of the activities of all departments by providing weekly and annual reports.

Via the internet, we present you with the opportunity to access information about the City of Ironwood.  I hope this will be one more way of bringing government closer to you.

Remember the motto of the City of Ironwood, “Live Where You Play”.  We hope you can join us!
