City of Shakopee
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Kris Wilson
Assistant to the City Administrator
SUBJECT: New City Web site
DATE: July 28, 2005
The official launch of the new city web site will take place at the August 3 City Council
meeting. The new site reflects a significant amount of work by each city department and
consultant Brent Cory.
The new web site, which will continue to be at www.ci.shakopec.mn.us, has an improved
design and organization to allow users to more easily locate the information they are
seeking. At this point, the site includes contact information for the city, basic
information about each department, a calendar of upcoming meetings, agendas and
minutes for City Council meetings, and links to numerous other sites, such as Scott
County, Shakopee Public Schools and the Shakopee Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The site also contains numerous applications and forms from Building Inspections,
Planning & Zoning, Engineering and the City Clerk's office that can be printed out,
completed and mailed back to City Hall.
As with any website, this site will be continually updated and enhanced. One of the first
enhancements scheduled is the addition of a searchable city code. The site that will be
launched on August 3 contains each chapter of the city code in pdf format, but work is
underway to enter the city code in the format required by our custom search tool.
Agendas and minutes from various Boards and Commissions, more information on
natural resource protection, and additional pictures of places and events in the city will
also be added shortly.
