Introduction
Assistant City Administrator Kris Wilson has accepted a Director position with the
City of Bloomington. Her last day will be Wednesday, December 9th.
Background
Administrator Wilson began working for the City of Shakopee on April 25 of
2005. She was initially hired to serve in the dual capacity of Economic
Development Coordinator and Assistant to the City Administrator. As part of her
duties she quickly picked up the role of website coordinator and oversight of city
telecommunications functions. In June of 2006, she was promoted to Assistant City
Administrator after displaying a thirst for knowledge and incredible initiative,
and ultimately phased out of economic development and focused on personnel and
human resources. Administrator Wilson has many projects she can look back on
with pride in her tenure with the City. She was instrumental in the transition of city
personnel functions from Scott County to a full Human Resources Division. In
addition, she was the project manager for Fire Station #2 - a coordination and
negotiation challenge for anyone - and was able to produce the great structure that
serves to protect our citizens today .
Administrator Wilson currently serves in the role of the city's Human Resources
Director - which has included labor negotiations, comparable worth reporting and a
comprehensive review and update of all city personnel policies and procedures
- as well as having oversight responsibility for the Information Technology
Division, the Facility Maintenance Division and the City Clerk.
Administrator Wilson has many noteworthy accomplishments. She holds a Masters
Degree in Public Policy from Rutgers University. She received the Association of
Public Management Professionals of Minnesota's "Outstanding Assistant of the
Year" in 2011, and has graduated from the prestigious International City
Management Association's Leadership Program. She served admirably as
the Interim City Administrator from December of 2014 to June of 2015.
The City of Shakopee has been very fortunate to have her leadership,
drive, determination and skill, and we wish her the best as she begins a new chapter
in her career.
