CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council, Visioning Committee Members, and
Department Heads
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Visioning Update Workshop - May 29th
DATE: May 22, 2007
INTRODUCTION:
It has now been a year and half since the City Council adopted the recommendation of
the Visioning Steering Committee, which identified five goals and eleven strategies after
a process that had been facilitated by Anne Carroll, and involved input from many of the
City's residents.
It is important to periodically meet and review the goals, strategies and the supporting
tactics to make sure that they continue to accommodate the City's needs.
BACKGROUND:
The Visioning process started in the Spring of 2004. The results of the study were
adopted nearly a year and a halflater in November 2005. In addition to Anne Carroll,
involvement included seven graduate students from the Humphrey Institute at the
University of Minnesota, who worked with a fifteen member Steering Committee. The
process refined input from over 700 individuals through a series of "community
conversations", as they were termed by Ms. Carroll.
Overall, there were several major tasks involved with the Visioning Initiative:
. Stakeholders were identified
. Community input was gathered through a large number of community
conversations, surveys, and an open house.
. The Steering Committee identified community values and priorities
. Key issues were identified
. A draft Visioning Statement was prepared
. Five goals and eleven strategies to support the vision and mission were
recommended by the Steering Committee to the City Council.
. The City Council adopted the recommendations in November, 2005.
,
KEY ISSUES:
Several key issues were identified and defined by the Steering Committee. They
included:
. Small town feel
. Close, but not too close
. Shakopee's river roots and sense of history
. Social opportunities and challenges of growth
. Economic opportunities and challenges of growth
. Sports and recreation opportunities
MISSION, VISION STATEMENT, AND GOALS AND STRATEGIES:
Going from the longest term, most general direction of the City to the most focused day-
to-day aspect, the City has adopted the following:
Mission Statement (adopted February 2004):
"The mission of the City of Shako pee is to provide the opportunity to live, work,
and play in a community with a proud past, promising future, and small town
atmosphere within a metropolitan setting. The City will provide customer-
friendly, high-quality public services that are intended to meet the changing needs
of its residents and the community at large. "
Vision Statement (adopted summer 2005):
Twenty years from now Shakopee will be known and valued as a unique city...
Where a vital and historic downtown anchors an active riverfront district; and
where the Minnesota River serves as a beacon for residents and tourists.
Where distinct neighborhoods and business areas connect with each other
through greenways and trails to protected natural habitat, recreational
attractions, and other destinations; and where the arts deepen and enhance our
community.
Where active, healthy, individual and family lifestyles are supported
through varied recreational and educational opportunities; where we
demonstrate our commitment to youth; where both young and old enjoy
community gathering places; where neighbors of all backgrounds respect and
appreciate each other; and where diversity is celebrated.
Where homes meet residents' lifetime needs and are in neighborhoods that
are accessible and connected with one another; where housing developments and
public spaces reflect community needs; and where the city's unique historic
personality is thoughtfully balanced with easy access to urban conveniences.
Where we support high quality, life-long educational opportunities; where
employees receive living wages; and where both locally owned businesses and
corporate headquarters are welcomed and well-supported.
Where residents are invested in the community and provide input on local
issues; where open communication and community service are valued; and where
high standards reflect our vision and commitment to creating a sense of
community for generations to come.
Goals and Strate2ies (adopted November, 2005)
There were five Goals, and eleven Supporting Strategies that were subsequently adopted.
They are shown on Attachment "A".
Question for participants:
. Are the Mission and Vision Statements still applicable?
. Are there changes needed to the Goals and Strategies?
Two Year Strategy Statements, and Action Steps
Following up on the Visioning process, in January 2006 the City Council adopted 2 year
Strategy Statements (previously called "Goals", but changed here to reduce confusion).
These have been updated for the City Council roughly every other month since they were
adopted. They are shown on Attachment "B".
Note that the January, 2006, the Council incorporated seven of the eleven Visioning
Strategies into their two-year Strategy Statements. The Council chose not to include the
following Visioning priorities:
. Increase use of Parks and Recreation (#1)
. Enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health (#2)
. Improve individual financial health (#4)
. Ensure range of housing (#11)
Instead, the Council added three separate strategies to be pursued over the current two
year period:
. Develop "Clarify the Implementation Plan for the Visioning Initiative
Project" (#5)
. Deal With Tribal-Related Issues (#7)
. Prioritize Projects and Best Utilize Current Staff and Resources (#8)
A summary of the Visioning Goals and Strategies, and two Year Strategic Statements is
shown on Attachment "C".
I would like to spend time at the workshop going through each of these, to determine if
changes are needed to the two year strategies. These modifications would be especially
needed if the Workshop determines that the Visioning Goals and Strategies are to be
updated. The notes on Attachment "B" show that some ofthese have been attained.
Other tactics have not been accomplished, either through budgetary or time constraints.
Especially for those which have not been adopted, are there tactics which are more
realistic and can be pursued instead?
Other Considerations:
The workshop will provide an opportunity to examine where Shakopee is going, both
long term and short term. For the purposes of our discussion at the workshop, it should
be noted that several changes have taken place in the year and a half since this process
was last examined on a comprehensive basis.
. F or more than 10 years following the opening of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge
and 169 By-pass, the City had been focused heavily on dealing with growth, and
searching for ways to control or perhaps slow it. During the past 12 to 18 months,
however, market forces have slowed development, which have allowed the City
to look anew at what the future of Shakopee might be. This would be in terms of
both where residential developments have been, may be in the future, and what
can be done for commercial/industrial development. This may become especially
important, as the slow down is likely cyclical, and the City should be poised to
address future growth even more effectively.
. The City has gone from a full time Economic Development staff member, to a
half time, and now has Economic Development services provided through a
consultant, with staff assistance. Shakopee's industrial park (Valley Green
Business Park) is at a point where most of the properties are developed, and now
may be the time to work with adjacent areas outside of the City for future
commercial/industrial land.
. One of the tasks which has been identified in the 2005 document is to continue to
oppose non-incremental fee to trust by the SMSC. Since the adoption of this
document, the City of Prior Lake has chosen not to contest Fee to Trust
applications, leaving Scott County and the City of Shakopee to deal with this
issue. Our attempts to sit and negotiate a mutual acceptable outcome have met
with no success. At the same time, the SMSC has continued to incrementally
acquire additional land in the City that will likely be the subject of future trust
applications.
. This year the City will be finishing a very aggressive parks development program,
including completion of Huber Park. While the new and redeveloped parks will
be on line for use, the resources expended to develop these, as well as the
slowdown of residential development, leaves a significantly reduced amount of
cash available for future park land acquisition and/or development. At the same
time, an update to the City's park plan will likely identify the need for additional
parks in the future which are not likely to be fully funded through park dedication.
Should this be something that the City looks to address through other sources of
funding?
Once the comprehensive park plan update is complete, the City Council has
directed that we undertake the cost of services/cost recovery study for parks and
recreation services. A part of this study will include renewed discussion on the
future of the Community Center. City Council should be thinking about what
format that it should take, including whether to conduct this work via a citizen
task force, at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board level, or directly by the
Council.
. MnDOT's plans for a "New Minnesota River Crossing" to replace TH 41's
current regional role place funding at 20 years or more in the future; however,
traffic volumes on the US 169 bridge are at capacity now during the morning peak
traffic period. How should the City (indeed the County) address growth within its
borders in the face of growing traffic congestion with no funding relief in site,
acknowledging that growth to the south and west of Shakopee will continue
unabated?
. The City's financial status is changing, at least short term. At the time that the
Visioning goals and strategies were put together, the effect of the BA TC lawsuit
was unclear. We have now resolved that. In addition, growth in tax base has
flattened as a result of the slowdown in the housing market. 2008 will have
budgetary considerations that have not been seen by the City in many years.
Should there be a modification in the action steps for the City's fiscal health?
ACTION REQUIRED:
The requested action is to reaffirm the Mission and Vision Statements, the Visioning
Goals and Objectives, and the Two-Year Strategic Statements.
I look forward to meeting with the City Council, department heads and staff, and
especially the members ofthe Steering Committee who have graciously agreed to meet
with us again to review their efforts from two years ago.
Thanks to each of you for being part of the update of the Shakopee Strategic Visioning
process. ,

Twenty years from now Shakopee will be known and valued as a unique city...
Where a vital and historic downtown anchors an active riverfront district; and where the Minnesota

Where distinct neighborhoods and business areas connect with each other through green ways and
trails to protected natural habitat, recreational attractions, and other destinations; and where the
arts deepen and enhance our community.
Where active, healthy, individual and family lifestyles are supported through varied recreational and
educational opportunities; where we demonstrate our commitment to youth; where both young
and old enjoy community gathering places; where neighbors of all backgrounds respect and
appreciate each other; and where diversity is celebrated.
Where homes meet residents' lifetime needs and are in neighborhoods that are accessible and
connected with one another; where housing developments and public spaces reflect community
needs; and where the city's unique historic personality is thoughtfully balanced with easy access
to urban conveniences.
Where we support high quality, life-long educational opportunities; where employees receive living
wages; and
Where both locally owned businesses and corporate headquarters are welcomed and well-supported.
Where residents are invested in the community and provide input on local issues; where open
