CITY OF SHAKO PEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Springsted Budget Prioritization Discussion
DATE: July 31,2008
Comment:
Introduction:
At the August 6th meeting, there will be a presentation regarding the Budget Prioritization
Study which was performed by Springsted, Inc.
Background:
Because of an expected budget shortfall in FY09, the City contracted with Springsted,
Inc., to help determine what budget priorities there should be for next year, and future
budget years. On June 16th, 2008, Springsted conducted a workshop in which the City
Council and Department Heads used a wireless voting system which registered the
relative importance of sixty-nine City services which had been identified by staff as
possibilities for reduction or elimination. Springsted also provided an opportunity for
those present to vote on possible increases in the levels of those services.
Dale Johnson-Raney ofSpringsted will be in attendance to review the results of the
survey. A summary of the results is attached.
As noted in the report, there are numerous places where the elected officials and staff
differed on services in terms of relative importance. Those deviations will need to be
discussed in more detail.
It should be noted that regardless of how the FY09 budget discussions go, the intent of
the Springsted study is to establish long term service priorities that should be a guide not
just for the upcoming budget year, but for years in the future.
Relationship to Visioning:
This affects all six Goals that are identified in the Visioning Process.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the Council review the report and discuss.
Action Required:
Council should hear the report and provide direction.

. Introduction 2
. 1. Introduction
.
. Springsted was hired by the City of Shakopee to help management staff and
City Council perform a budget prioritization process as a means of addressing
. projected future budget shortfalls. City staff identified 69 services to be
examined for potential reduction/elimination and/or improvement.
. This report summarizes and analyzes the results of the session designed by
. Springsted, in partnership with the City staff, to address the City's budget
prioritization needs.

.
. Methodology 3
. 2. Methodology
. The process began with the completion of a form by City staff on each service
. that was a candidate for reduction or elimination (See Appendix n. The form
included a description of the service, the impact of service reduction/
. elimination, the source of revenue for the service, and any alternate means of
service delivery.
. This form was completed for each of the 69 services identified as candidates for
. reduction/elimination. The forms were then distributed to all Council members
and the City management staff for review prior to the session at which the
. services would be discussed.
. On the evening of June 16, 2008, Springsted attended a meeting of the City
. Council, and used its wireless voting system to gauge Council and staff's
opinions regarding potential service reductions/eliminations/improvements.
. Five City Council and nine members of City management used Springsted's
wireless voting system to express their agreement or disagreement with the
. following three statements:
1. This service should be reduced.
. 2. This service should be eliminated.
3. This service should be improved.
. Each service element was displayed in turn, and meeting attendees indicated
. their level of agreement with each statement for each service. Level of
agreement was expressed on a five-point scale, as follows:
. 1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
. 3. No opinion .
. 4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
. At the end of each round of voting, the voting averages were displayed and
. briefly discussed, at which point the group went through the services again,
indicating their agreement with the next statement.

. Statement One: "This service should be reduced"
.
City Council Preferences:

. These are service areas where a sizeable majority of City Council agreed with
the idea of service reductions. It seems likely that proposals for the reduction
. of service levels in these areas would find support from Council.

. Tier 3: Mixed support for reductions:
. These were service elements where the City Council was split in their support
for reductions. The top of this list shows service components for which two

remainder of the list shows service components for which Council is either
. split 3-2, or is split exactly down the middle.
. Proposed service level reductions for items on this list might find support
from Council. Such proposals would likely require more explanation and

. Differences of Opinion:
. The following tables show services where staff and Council had differing
opinions regarding the potential for service reductions. The entries are color-
. coded according to the following scheme:
. Entries in red are Tier 1, where support for reductions was high.
. . Entries in green are Tier 2, where support for reductions was low.
. Entries in blue are Tier 3, where support for reductions was mixed.
.
. The table below shows elements where support for reductions was mixed
from one party (and thus appear in blue), while support from the other party
. was high or low (and thus appear in red or green). Elements on this list will
require further discussion to determine whether one group (most likely the
. group with a mixed opinion) will commit to moving the service component to
Tier I or Tier 2.

. The table below shows elements where support for elimination was mixed
. from one party (and thus appear in blue), while support from the other party
was high or low (and thus appear in red or green).
. Elements on this list will require further discussion to determine whether one

the service component to Tier 1 or Tier 2.

. Implementing the Recommended Salary Plan 27
. 4. Recommended Next Steps
. The Springsted Team would recommend the City do the following in terms of
. next steps.
. Obtain City management staff consensus: Staff should discuss service areas
where their opinion is split. Where consensus can be reached, move those
. service elements to Tier 1 or Tier 2. Where no consensus can be reached,
elements will remain in Tier 3.
.
Obtain Council consensus: Council members should examine and discuss areas
. where their opinions are split, and should move items to Tier 1 or Tier 2 as
. appropriate.
. Council-Staff reconciliation: After the services have been placed in their
agreed upon tiers, Council and staff should discuss areas of disagreement. It
. will be important to preface this conversation with a review of the service to
ensure everyone fully understands the service being discussed where
. discussions lead to consensus, services can be moved into the appropriate tier of
the "Council-Staff Combined Priorities" list.
. Budget Development: City staff can use the "Council-Staff Combined
. Priorities" list to identify areas where service reductions or eliminations and,
consequently, budget savings are possible. Tier 1 services would likely be the
. first candidates for reductions, and Tier 3 services would be reduced as required
. to balance the budget. Tier 2 services would be the last to be considered for
reductions.

Introduction 2
1. Introduction
■
Springsted was hired by the City of Shakopee to help management staff and
■ City Council perform a budget prioritization process as a means of addressing
■ projected future budget shortfalls. City staff identified 69 services to be
examined for potential reduction/elimination and/or improvement.
This report summarizes and analyzes the results of the session designed by
Springsted, in partnership with the City staff, to address the City's budget
prioritization needs.

Methodology 3
2. Methodology
The process began with the completion of a form by City staff on each service
■ that was a candidate for reduction or elimination (See Appendix 1). The form
included a description of the service, the impact of service reduction/
i elimination, the source of revenue for the service, and any alternate means of
service delivery.
This form was completed for each of the 69 services identified as candidates for
■ reduction/elimination. The forms were then distributed to all Council members
and the City management staff for review prior to the session at which the
services would be discussed.
On the evening of June 16, 2008, Springsted attended a meeting of the City
Council, and used its wireless voting system to gauge Council and staff's
opinions regarding potential service reductions/eliminations/improvements.
■ Five City Council and nine members of City management used Springsted's
wireless voting system to express their agreement or disagreement with the
■ following three statements:
1. This service should be reduced.
. 2. This service should be eliminated.
3. This service should be improved.
Each service element was displayed in turn, and meeting attendees indicated
their level of agreement with each statement for each service. Level of
agreement was expressed on a five-point scale, as follows:
1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. No opinion
. 4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
At the end of each round of voting, the voting averages were displayed and
■ briefly discussed, at which point the group went through the services again,
indicating their agreement with the next statement.

Findings and Recommendations 4
3. Findings
In the narrative below, the statements posed to the City Council and City staff
■ are listed followed by a summary and analysis of the responses given. A
summary of the responses is in Appendix A.
i Statement One: "This service should be reduced"
City Council Preferences:
Tier 1: Solid support for reduction
. These are service areas where a sizeable majority of City Council agreed with
the idea of service reductions. It seems likely that proposals for the reduction
of service levels in these areas would find support from Council.

against the idea of service reductions. Proposals to reduce service levels in
■ these areas would most likely be met with resistance from Council.

■ These were service elements where the City Council was split in their support
for reductions. The top of this list shows service components for which two
or more Council members had no opinion, while their peers were split. The
remainder of the list shows service components for which Council is either
split 3-2,or is split exactly down the middle.

opinions regarding the potential for service reductions. The entries are color-
coded according to the following scheme:
• Entries in red are Tier 1,where support for reductions was high.
t • Entries in green are Tier 2,where support for reductions was low.
• Entries in blue are Tier 3,where support for reductions was mixed.
The table below shows elements where support for reductions was mixed
from one party (and thus appear in blue), while support from the other party
was high or low (and thus appear in red or green). Elements on this list will
require further discussion to determine whether one group (most likely the
group with a mixed opinion) will commit to moving the service component to
Tier 1 or Tier 2.

Comparison of Council and Staff Preferences
Areas of Consensus:
The following table shows services where staff and Council shared similar
■ opinions regarding the potential for service improvement. The two groups
agree that a handful of services are not good candidates for improvement
■ (Tier 2). The major area of consensus between the two groups is for the large
number of service areas for which each group is of mixed opinion (Tier 3).
There were no areas where both groups agreed improvement was needed
(Tier 1).

Differences of Opinion:
The following tables show services where staff and Council had differing
■ opinions regarding the potential for service improvement. The entries are
color-coded according to the following scheme:
. • Entries in red are Tier 1,where support for reductions was high.
• Entries in green are Tier 2,where support for reductions was low.
• Entries in blue are Tier 3,where support for reductions was mixed.
The table below shows elements where support for elimination was mixed
from one party (and thus appear in blue), while support from the other party
was high or low(and thus appear in red or green). In each case, wherever one
■ group felt that a service area was a Tier 1 or Tier 2 candidate,the other group
had mixed opinions. There remains much work to be done to determine
■ whether service areas exist for which improvements are desired by both
groups.

■
■ Implementing the Recommended Salary Plan 27
4. Recommended Next Steps
a The Springsted Team would recommend the City do the following in terms of
. next steps.
■ Obtain City management staff consensus: Staff should discuss service areas
where their opinion is split. Where consensus can be reached, move those
i service elements to Tier 1 or Tier 2. Where no consensus can be reached,
elements will remain in Tier 3.
Obtain Council consensus: Council members should examine and discuss areas
where their opinions are split, and should move items to Tier 1 or Tier 2 as
appropriate.
■ Council-Staff reconciliation: After the services have been placed in their
agreed upon tiers, Council and staff should discuss areas of disagreement. It
. will be important to preface this conversation with a review of the service to
ensure everyone fully understands the service being discussed where
■ discussions lead to consensus, services can be moved into the appropriate tier of
the"Council-Staff Combined Priorities"list.
■ Budget Development: City staff can use the "Council-Staff Combined
Priorities" list to identify areas where service reductions or eliminations and,
consequently, budget savings are possible. Tier 1 services would likely be the
first candidates for reductions, and Tier 3 services would be reduced as required
to balance the budget. Tier 2 services would be the last to be considered for
reductions.
