Shakopee, MN 55379
RE: Windermere Building Permit
Dear Mr. Lillehaug and Mr. Kerski,
D.R. Horton requests that the City of Shakopee allow the issuance of building permits within the
Windermere neighborhood. As required by our agreement with the City, building permits will not
be issued until all improvements have been completed including sidewalks and trails. At this time
with winter weather upon us, we will not be able to complete the sidewalks and trails within the
development. The concern about not completing sidewalks and pathways in this construction
season was discussed at the start of the project with City staff. At that time,staff wanted to wait
to see how the construction progressed before reviewing the requirement for sidewalks and
trails.
D.R. Horton is requesting that we be allowedto build on any lot within Windermere that does
not have sidewalk or trail in front of it and also be allowed to build on the Lots 2 – 8, Block 1
(Willow Lane). Since Horton is both the builder and the developer of the site, we will be able to
coordinate the sidewalk and trail installation without issues.
We request that the City grant this due to the size and complexity of the development. The
development of Windermere included a large undertaking of improvements that will allow for
the future development of the West Shakopee Study Area. These include the following:
24” trunk sanitary sewer that was between 20’ to 30’ deep that will provide
service to the land to the South and West of Windermere
D.R. Horton, Inc.-Minnesota

Lakeville, MN 55044

72” trunk storm sewer line that provides an outlet for the land to the South and
West of Windermere
Relocation and lowering of 1000’ of 8” gas main
Construction of the first portion of CSAH 16/ 17 th Avenue
Reconstruction of CSAH 15
Besides the out of the ordinary improvements for a development, we had to deal with numerous
large rain storm events and a colder than normal start to November.
Even with all of the extra work and difficult weather that we had to contend with, an immense
amount of work was completed this summer. This was accomplished by having a contractor that
committed multiple crews to the site that worked 12 hour days, 6 days a week. The contractor
efforts were aided by the hard work of our engineers,surveyors and the staff from the City of
Shakopee, Shakopee Public Utility Commission and Scott County. We believe through the
cooperation and effort of everyone involved in the project, everything that could be finished this
year was completed. It is based on this information that we request the City’s approval to allow
additional building permits in Windermere.
Thank you for your consideration and if you have any questions, please contact me at 952-985-
7823 or via e-mail at msuel@drhorton.com
Sincerely,
Mike Suel
Land Development Manager

Profile of the Government
The City of Shakopee was incorporated initially in 1857 and for the second time in 1870 and is located about 25 miles
southwest of Minneapolis. Bounded by the Minnesota River on the north, Shakopee is in the northern part of Scott
County and is the county seat. The City is one of the most rapidly growing communities of the state. The 2010 population
of the City was 37,076 as of the 2010 census and the land area covered is approximately 29.4 square miles. The 2018
estimated population is about 41,143. The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal property
located within its boundaries. It is also empowered by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which
occurs periodically.
Shakopee is organized in Minnesota under Plan A, which includes a City Administrator, but the City Council retains
most decision making authority such as policy setting, adopting ordinances and budget and staffing. The City Council
has four members who serve staggered terms of four years plus the Mayor who serves a two-year term. All council
positions are non-partisan, part-time and members are elected at large.
The City provides the normal municipal services such as police and fire protection, street and infrastructure
construction and maintenance, parks and recreation, planning and zoning. Also provided are sewer and storm
drainage utilities, and organized refuse collection and recycling. Electric and water utilities are operated by

Re: Draft Budget Workshop November 21, 2017
Background
Each year the City must prepare a budget and property tax levy for the following year. Staff has
been analyzing revenues, expenditure information and initiatives to prepare a draft budget and
levy for your consideration.
For the second consecutive year, staff is proposing a budget with no impact to residents absent
increases in their property valuation for which the city has no control. The draft budget
decreases our current city tax rate, lowering it from 38.521 percent to 37.120 percent. Even by
adding a dedicated Economic Development Authority (EDA) levy, the tax rate is still below the
prior year at an estimated 37.877 percent.
More importantly, we are focusing on right-sizing our organization in several key areas to fit our
growing city of over 41,000. From a public safety aspect, we are asking to add two police officers
to concentrate on keeping our streets safe, an assistant fire chief responsible for training our fire
forces, and a code compliance o.
Within our Department of Planning and Development, we are seeking to add a junior planner to
ensure our growth is properly mapped for the future and an economic development specialist
that will focus on business retention.
Our 2018 Budget should be the final one of a three-year transformative budget process, and will
w taxes, financial stability and a stable
tax rate. The foundation established by this process will keep those goals in play for the
foreseeable future absent a major recessionary period.
Upon City Administrator Reynolds arrival, he explained the need to retool our budget and
budget process over a three-year period in order:
1)to establish true fiscal transparency (which included defining our revenues), and
2)to ensure that our budgets accurately reflect how we spend tax dollars (including the
reduction of variances).
impact upon our financial future.
The last few years has been more than just a time of change in our budget process. During the
first two years of this budgetary transformation, we have had to address multiple challenges that
in and of themselves could be considered noteworthy. This included successfully inculcating the
Community Center debt bond payment, establishment of a franchise fee, realignment of our
liability insurance premiums and separation of our insurance from SPUC, creation of a fund to
pave the way for future self-insurance, and adjustment of internal service fund rent shortfalls.
Staff also reviewed with City Council this past spring the long-term financial position of the
Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water enterprise funds. This review was done to determine
appropriate cash balances for each respective fund and to ensure rates are maintained at a
satisfactory level to ensure long-term viability.
Through all this change and challenge we still had our bond rating upgraded a remarkable
achievement as well.
produced and the City Council approved a tax rate that
had 0% impact to residents at the average home value (absent home valuation increases).
2017 was our first year really tightening the budgets at the department level to offset the
previous philosophy of never coming before council to request adjustments. As Administrator
Reynolds stated last year, not wanting to come before council had the effect of encouraging a
padding of the budget at the departmental level. It is important that we budget as best we can
based upon actual revenue and expense estimates.
Again, as a reminder, staff does not have a crystal ball to fully determine what will be needed in
all cases. Snowfall greater than average is a perfect case in point. If we do miss a projection, we
bring that to council and explain the situation and then request a budget amendment. All of
which is publicly documented (again transparency). Council also needs to remember that if
something arises that is outside of this change in budgeting philosophy, it is not a failure on

We continue to have a lot to be thankful for. Our efforts renegotiating the Jackson Township
Orderly Annexation Agreement were successful which ensures we have land available for
growth. In addition, we have adjusted our community center revenue projections (in a positive
way!) based upon our initial 2017 numbers.

Our challenges compared to last year seem minimal. We do need to include the 2 installment

In this budget, we continue our efforts with transparency by breaking the EDA levy out of our
General Fund and establishing it as a stand-alone levy. We did the same last year with
abatements and the Capital Improvement Fund to make them easily identifiable and to ensure
greater transparency.
e have some stability in year three of
our budget change process.
Administrator Reynolds remains confident that at the end of it, we will be a better organization
with great transparency and greater fiscal controls. And in the end, we will continue to be one of
the lowest taxed communities in the metro area.

Budget Impact Issues
Wages and benefits
All three union contracts went into effect on January 1, 2017. All contracts negotiated three
percent cost of living adjustments for 2017, 2018 and 2019. The draft budget has been built with
a 3 percent increase in all wages. The General Fund impact of a 3 percent COLA is approximately
$411,000.
After initially budgeting for a 15 percent increase in health insurance rates. Actual renewal rates
came in at 29 percent. Staff took proactive steps to reduce this increase to something more
manageable by first requesting new proposals even though the city is still under contract with
our current provider. Unfortunately, with limited number of carriers in the market, the city did
not receive any new proposals.
The next action step in reducing the health insurance costs was reviewing plan options.
Administration began surveying and meeting with employees to better understand their needs
and what health care changes would be viable, knowing that the employee and employer share
of premiums would be increasing. As a result of these meetings and surveys, new Accountable
Care Organization (ACO) plans were approved by the City Council on November 7. ACO plans
limit in-network coverage to specific providers such as Park Nicollet and Ridgeview.
to about 19 percent. A 19 percent increase in health insurance amounts to approximately
been on a rollercoaster for the past several
years. Even though the city is experiencing a large increase for 2018,
only moderately increased from 2014 through 2017, with an average increase of 2.7 percent.
Administration undertook a class and compensation study earlier this year that was anticipated
to have a financial impact of approximately $100,000. The actual impact amounted to about
$35,000. The preliminary budget included $100,000 as a placeholder until actual results were
received. The draft budget reflects the actual costs.
No other benefit changes are anticipated or legislated for the upcoming year.
As mentioned earlier, six full-time staff positions are being requested for 2018 along with
additional part-time staffing. The Fire Department is requesting an assistant fire chief, the Police
Department is requesting two police officers and a code compliance officer, and lastly Planning
and Development is requesting a junior planner and an economic development specialist. The
economic development specialist will be funded 75 percent through the EDA and 25 percent
through the Planning and Development Department. Recreation is requesting an additional
$133,200 for part-time salaries related specifically to staffing needs at the community center
pool. Below is breakdown of the 2018 budget impact for new full-time position requests.
Internal Charges
Part of the budget process for 2017 was restoring internal service charges/rents that were
reduced by 20 percent in 2014. The restoration of rents is needed to ensure long-term
sustainability and replacement of city assets including equipment, park assets and city buildings.
Last year the Council directed staff to restore rent funding over a two-year span rather than
recovering all the rent charges in one year. The one caveat was that park assets would be
restored to 100 percent funding in 2017.
The impact to restore the second half of internal charges to the 2018 budget is approximately
$150,000. Total rent increases for 2018, which includes both the restoration of rent charges and
the replacement cost of equipment and facilities is approximately $265,700.
The community center and ice arena are being depreciated at 35% of the book value as of
December 31, 2016. The rationale behind the 35 percent was that the rent charge would be
sufficient to cover any facility needs that may occur in the next 10 to 20 years, but would lessen
the tax burden of current tax payers that are also paying the current debt service on the
facilities. When the debt service is fully retired, community center and ice arena rents would be
expected to increase to full funding.
Other Services & Charges
A few other line items in the 2018 budget outside of personnel and rent are requiring additional
funding for 2018. First, natural gas and electricity for the community center and ice arena are
being increased by $103,500. Cleaning services for the police department and public works
facilities is increasing by approximately $68,000. This increase is being offset by a reduction in
custodial staff. Overall this change is budget neutral, but there will be a shift in expenditures
fro
payments to LOGIS for various applications is increasing by about $19,000. This is mainly related
to the new permitting and accounts payable applications implemented in 2017. All other line
percent increase for 2018.
Revenues
Typically, governmental revenues such as grants, charges for service and fees & permits are
constant with not a lot of dramatic fluctuations from one year to the next. Obviously, the
economy is typically the biggest factor in revenue fluctuations. The City
been strong over the past couple years with the influx of commercial development. Those
strong permits are expected to continue with the recent housing developments beginning to
take shape. Building permits are anticipated to grow by 10 percent or $161,600 in 2018.
The community center and ice arena revenues for 2018 are expected to increase substantially.
Staff has worked diligently on estimating membership renewals for 2018 and are anticipating an
additional $300,000 in revenue compared to 2017. Overall, recreation is anticipating an
additional revenue of $430,000 in combined charges for services for 2018. These additional
revenues aid in offsetting increased operational costs.
Economic Development Authority
Part of the budget discussions last year involved the implementation of a dedicated EDA levy
18 would
be a maximum of approximately $768,500. The levy cap is a maximum levy, the EDA and City
Council can set the levy at any amount up to this cap.
The EDA levy should be considered a budget neutral change. In prior years, a transfer was made
from the General Fund to the EDA to cover EDA operational costs, façade loan funds, and other
development related activities. This EDA levy will eliminate that transfer from the General Fund,
The advantage of the EDA market value levy is that is applies to all taxable properties within the
city including properties that are currently part of a tax abatement or TIF plan. The EDA levy is
general
property tax. Staff is recommending an EDA levy of $350,000 for 2018.
Debt Service
The community center/ice arena tax abatement bonds had a substantial impact on the levy for
2017. Now that the debt service levy is in place, staff is anticipating
service payments to remain stable at approximately $2.2 million annually. In addition, due to
available fund balances in existing debt service funds and the structuring of the tax abatement
bonds, $870,000 of debt service levies will be canceled for 2018.
2018-2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The CIP is a five-year plan to provide and maintain public facilities. The 2018-2022 CIP is the first
year we have issued the CIP as a stand-alone document. This breakout once again assists in
becoming more transparent and acknowledges that the CIP is actually as much a planning
document as it is a budget document. Since the CIP is planning document and not an official
budget document, just the 2018 CIP projects have been brought forward into the 2018 budget
for official approval.
Levy Request & Impact
Back in September staff recommended a preliminary levy increase of 2.58 percent or $488,883
for the city levy and a preliminary EDA levy of $350,000. Since the adoption of the preliminary
levy, staff has been able to reduce the city levy by over $154,000. As part of that reduction, the
city levy has been reduced from 2.58 percent to 1.77 percent. A revised levy is presented below.
The city experienced 8 ½ percent growth in tax capacity for taxes payable 2018. This is on top of
eight percent growth from the previous year. New construction accounts for about $1.1 million
of additional tax capacity, which equates to about 25% of the growth in tax capacity.
In terms of levy dollars, the new construction tax capacity allows the city to increase the levy by
$488,883 or 2.58 percent without having a tax impact on existing properties, outside of changes
in valuation. For instance, if all values stayed the same from last year to this year, an average
value home of $243,100 would see an annual levy decrease of $30, given a city levy increase of
1.77 percent. The new EDA levy adds about $20 annually to the average value home tax liability,
reducing that decrease from $30 to $10. Again, that is absent any changes in valuation.
The breakdown and comparison of the proposed 2018 levy is as follows:

Items to note with the 2018 adjusted levy include:
The Capital Improvement Fund levy is reduced by $185,000 for 2018. The City will be
receiving additional Municipal State Aid (MSA) dollars in 2018 along with a small shift of
MSA dollars from maintenance to construction allows for the levy to be decreased in the
Capital Improvement Fund.
Abatement levies continued to be isolated. This practice was started in 2017. In prior
years, private development abatements have been included in the General Fund levy.
Isolating these abatements provides for increased transparency.
Scott County has provided staff with tax impact estimates for residential homestead properties.
Residential property values held virtually steady from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2016 for
taxes payable 2017. The value of an average market value home in Shakopee decreased slightly
from $229,700 to $229,100. Residential values are now increasing for taxes payable 2018. The
average valued home has risen from $229,100 to $243,100. In addition, approximately 80
properties experienced a 5 to 10 percent increase from January
1, 2016 to January 1, 2017. Taxes payable 2017 saw a shift in tax burden as the commercial
values rose and residential properties were stagnant. Taxes payable 2018 will see a slight shift in
tax burden as residential properties appreciate.
The chart below provides the average percentage change in value (as opposed to increase in
taxes) for residential properties from taxes payable 2017 to taxes payable 2018. These
percentage changes are strictly the averages within each value range. Individual properties
valuations can be more or less than the averages.
The chart below provides a comparison of the 2017 levy and the adjusted 2018 levy, including
the EDA levy, for three different valued homes including the average valued home of $243,100.
All of the increases are tied directly to those elements that are outside of the control of the city
namely increased property valuation. Absent that increase, city taxes would decrease on
average of $10 per average household.
Comparable Cities
omparable cities. Just like the City of
Shakopee, these levies are preliminary and final levies may be the same or less.
Lastly, it is always interesting to see the breakdown of a property tax statement and how tax
dollars are distributed. Below is chart, based on an average valued home for taxes payable in
2017 within the Shakopee School District. A good rule of thumb is that the city, county and
school typically account for about a third of the total tax bill. For homes within the Shakopee
CDA, Mosquito Control, Metro Transit, Met Council,
Watersheds, etc.
Summary
Attached is a draft budget that includes the General Fund, EDA Special Revenue Fund, Debt
Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Fund and Internal Service Funds.
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
Fund Structure
The financial matters of the City of Shakopee are arranged into groups called funds. Each fund is a
separate accounting activity. The funds are;
Governmental Funds using modified accrual accounting:
General Fund is the main operating fund and accounts for the usual activities of general government
(administration, finance, city clerk, and information technology), public safety (police, fire and
building inspection), public works (engineering, streets and fleet) and culture/recreation (park
maintenance, recreation and natural resources).
Special Revenue Funds are for resources received for specific purposes and include Revolving Loan,
Forfeitures and the Economic Development Authority.
Debt Service Funds are to account for money dedicated to paying the city’s bonded debt.
Capital Project Funds are to account for the larger construction projects in the city. Ongoing funds
are the Capital Improvement and Park Reserve Funds. Other funds exist for the life of the projects
financed by that fund.
Proprietary Funds using accrual accounting:
Enterprise Funds account for business-like activities of the city. There are three enterprise funds.
The City operates the Sewer and Storm Drainage Funds with the Shakopee Public Utility
Commission providing billing services for those two funds. The City also operates the Refuse Fund
which provide refuse and recycling carts to Shakopee residents.
Internal Service Funds account for providing goods or services to various city divisions. These are
the Building Fund for a majority of city and recreation services buildings, Capital Equipment Fund
for major pieces of mobile equipment, Park Asset Fund for replacement of park assets, Information
Technology Fund for certain hardware and software items, the Employee Benefit Fund for
compensated absences and Self Insurance Fund for liability and worker compensation insurance
coverage.
Major Funds
Major funds are the funds of the city that are larger in terms of assets, liabilities, revenues or
expenditures. The General Fund is always a major fund and the two enterprise funds, Sewer and Storm
Drainage are classed as major funds. Individual special revenue, debt service or capital projects funds
may be determined to be major funds for one or more years depending on the activity in that fund.
Budget Process
Scott County assessor sets property values during the previous year. The county sends valuation notices
early in the current year for the next year’s taxes. In May and June the local Board of Review and County
Board of Equalization meet to consider appeals of property values from owners. June through March –
Tax Court petitions must be filed to appeal previous year assessment.
The City’s, budget process starts in the spring for the following year. The Five Year Capital
Improvement Plan is prepared by departments and brought to the City Council in mid-July. This
document is approved by the City Council in September.
Public input meetings are held in May and June at places throughout the City. In July, departments
discuss big picture issues and new initiatives. Forecasts are prepared for compensation, revenues, utilities
and internal service fund allocations. These items are used to prepare the preliminary tax levy.
Management and City Council review the proposed budget and preliminary levy in late August and the
th
maximum tax levy is certified to the county auditor by September 30. In September and October,
departments finalize budgets and revise prior year budgets if necessary. In mid-November, tax payers
receive a notice of the proposed amount of property taxes they would be billed for in the following year.
Early in December a public meeting on the budget and tax levy is held and the final tax levy and budget
are adopted.
Budgets are legally adopted for all Funds through this budget document. The Economic Development
Authority is a legally separate entity but is blended in as a special revenue fund because the City Council
also serves as the Board for the EDA.
Budgets are legally adopted at the division level for the General Fund. Staff may shift budget amounts
within divisions but governing body action is needed to change division or fund totals. The current year
budget is amended with the following year’s budget approval and can also be amended at any point with
council action. General fund appropriations lapse at the year’s end.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The City of Shakopee has an important responsibility to its citizens to plan the adequate funding of
services desired by the public, including the provision and maintenance of public facilities, to manage
municipal finances and resources wisely, and to carefully account for public funds. The City strives to
ensure that it is capable of adequately funding and providing local government services needed by the
community. The City will maintain or improve its infrastructure on a systematic basis to maintain quality
neighborhoods. These policies provide the framework for fiscal management and guide the decision
making process. The policies operate independently of changing circumstances and conditions.
Objectives
1.To protect the Council's policy-making ability by ensuring that important decisions are not
controlled by financial problems or emergencies.
2.To enhance the Council's policy-making ability by providing accurate information on the cost of
various authority or service levels.
3.To assist sound management of the City government by providing accurate and timely
information on financial condition.
4.To provide sound principles to guide the important decisions of the Council and of management
which have significant fiscal impact.
5.To set forth operational principals which minimize the cost of local government, to the extent
consistent with services desired by the public, and which minimize financial risk.
6.To employ revenue policies and forecasting tools to prevent undue or unbalanced reliance on
certain revenues, especially property taxes, which distribute the cost of municipal services fairly,
and which provide adequate funds to operate desired programs.
7.To provide essential public facilities and prevent deterioration of the City's infrastructure
including its various facilities.
8.To protect and enhance the City's credit rating and prevent default on any municipal debts.
9.Ensure the legal use and protection of all City funds through a good system of financial and
accounting controls.
10.Manage risk through loss awareness, loss prevention, loss control and loss financing.
OPERATING BUDGET POLICY
The operating budget policies ensure that the City's annual operating expenditures are consistent with past
expenditures and respond to long-term objectives rather than short-term benefits. The policies allow the
City to maintain a stable level of service, expenditures and tax levies over time. These policies are most
critical to programs funded with property tax revenue because accommodating large fluctuations in this
revenue source can be difficult.
1.The City will adopt a balanced operating budget for the General Fund with current revenues equal
or greater than current expenditures. It is not the policy to finance ongoing operations with one-
time revenues or fund balance. One time revenues and fund balance will only be used for one-
time expenditures.
2.An objective analytical process will be used to forecast revenues.
3.Opportunities for other revenue sources will be explored to reduce property tax levels.
4.The City will avoid postponing expenditures and provide for the adequate maintenance,
replacement and improvement of the City’s physical assets in order to protect the capital
investment and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
5.To protect against unforeseen events, the City will budget a contingency and maintain fund
balances according to the City’s policies.
6.The City will apportion its administrative and general government costs to all its funds as
appropriate and practical.
7.The City staff will monitor revenues and expenditures to adhere to their budgeted amounts.
Monthly reports comparing budget with revenues and expenditures will be prepared. Line items
within a division may be over spent as long as the total division budget is not over spent.
8.Appropriations will be included in the operating budgets to keep internal service fund resources at
an appropriate level.
9.Appropriations lapse at year end.
FUND BALANCE/EQUITY POLICY
Fund balance is the difference between the assets and liabilities in a governmental fund. A governmental
fund generally involves tax support and the focus of accounting is the flow or control of money. The
General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds are governmental funds.
Fund equity is similar to fund balance but applies to enterprise and internal services fund and has a longer
term focus including fixed assets, accumulated depreciation and long term debt.
General Fund
:
This Fund Balance Policy applies to unrestricted fund balances comprised of committed,
assigned, unassigned amounts.
The City Council can assign fund balance by expressing its intent or the Finance Director
is hereby authorized to assign fund balance.
When more than one category of fund balance can be used to fund an expenditure, the highest
(most restrictive) level shall be used first.
The target level of unassigned fund balance is 40 to 45% of expenditures. This is to provide
working capital for cash flow, unexpected decline in revenue such as state aid unallotment and
unforeseen expenditures such as natural disasters.
Unassigned fund balance can be spent down by City Council action or appropriation or due to
emergency situations.
Replenishing fund balance when it falls below the target level shall be accomplished by inter-
fund transfers or budgeting for expenditures and other uses to be less than revenue and other
sources over a period not to exceed three years.
Annually the City Council will decide what to do with the General Fund unreserved fund balance
that exceeds 45% of expenditures and transfers out.
Special Revenue Funds
: These funds shall maintain sufficient fund balance to provide for working
capital.
Debt Service Funds:
These funds shall maintain sufficient fund balance to provide for the timely
payment of principal, interest and service charges.
Capital Project Funds
: There are no fund balance requirements for these funds.
Enterprise Funds
: These funds shall have sufficient equity and liquid assets to provide for three to five
months operating costs and to have at least as much as the amount of accumulated depreciation.
Internal Service Funds
: These funds shall have sufficient equity to smooth out the “peaks and valleys”
of major expenditures over the long term and to provide full funding for employee compensated absences
and other post-employment benefits.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE POLICY
The revenue policy is designed to ensure; 1) diversified and stable revenue sources, 2) adequate long-term
funding by using specific revenue sources to fund related programs and services, and 3) funding levels to
accommodate needed City services and programs equitably.
1.The City will provide long-term financial stability through sound short and long term financial
planning. The City will maintain a diversified and stable revenue system in order to avoid short-
term fluctuations in a single revenue source.
2.The City will conservatively estimate its annual revenues. All existing and potential revenue
sources will be re-examined annually.
3.The City will use one-time or special purpose revenue for capital expenditures or for expenditures
required by the revenue, and not to subsidize recurring personnel, operation and maintenance
costs.
4.The City will establish all fees and charges at a level related to the cost of providing the services,
or as adjusted for particular program goals. The City will review the full cost of activities
supported by fees and charges to identify the impact of inflation and other cost increases and will
review these fees and charges along with resulting net property tax costs with the Council at
budget time.
5.The City will seek a balanced tax base through support of a sound mix of residential, commercial,
and industrial development.
6.The City will set enterprise fund fees at a level that fully supports the total direct and indirect cost
of the activity (net of any grants or similar revenues), including depreciation of capital assets and
debt service, to maintain a positive cash flow and provide adequate working capital. Replacement
(or bonding for replacement) of enterprise infrastructure will be paid for from accumulated (or
annual) earnings of the particular fund.
7.The City will offset reduced revenues with reduced expenditures.
8.Department heads are responsible to monitor their respective budget and control spending so that
the budget is not exceeded. Expenditures over $25,000 will have prior council approval. Any
unauthorized expenditure or exceeding the budget may be a personal obligation of the person
incurring the obligation.
ACCOUNTING, AUDITING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICY
The accounting, auditing and financial reporting policy are designed to maintain a system of financial
monitoring, control and reporting for all operations and funds in order to provide effective means of
ensuring that overall City goals and objectives will be met and to assure the City’s residents and investors
that the City is well managed and fiscally sound.
1.The City will adhere to a policy of full and open public discourse of all financial activity. The
proposed budget will be prepared in a manner to maximize its understanding by citizens and
elected officials. Copies of financial documents will be made available to all interested parties.
Opportunities will be provided for full citizen participation prior to adopting the budget.
2.The City will maintain its accounting records and report on its financial condition and results of
operations in accordance with City, State and Federal law and regulations, and Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and standards established by the Governmental
Accounting Standard Board (GASB). Budgetary reporting will be in accordance with City and
State budget laws.
3.An independent firm of certified public accountants will annually perform a financial and
compliance audit of the City’s financial statements. Their opinions will be contained in the City’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
4.As an additional independent confirmation of the quality of the City’s financial reporting, the
City will annually seek to obtain the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The CAFR will be presented in a way
designed to communicate with citizens about the financial affairs of the City.
INVESTMENT POLICY
I. Scope
This policy applies to the investment portfolio under the authority and control of the Finance
Director/City Treasurer of the City of Shakopee. This policy shall be reviewed on an annual
basis. Any changes must be approved by the City Council.
II. General Objectives
The primary objectives, in priority order, on investment activities shall be:
1.Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be
undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
2.Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that
may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that
securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity).
Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist
largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the
portfolio also may be placed in local government investment pools, which offer same-day
liquidity for short-term funds.
3.Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints
and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and
liquidity objectives described above. Securities should not be sold prior to maturity with the
following exceptions:
a.A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize the loss of principal.
b.A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
c.Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
d.There is a definite economic benefit to be realized.
III. Standards of Care
1.Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person”
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers
acting in accordance with procedures and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations
from expectations and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this
policy.
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, for
investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be
derived.
2.Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program,
or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials
shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business.
3.Delegation of Authority
Authority and responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to
the Finance Director/Treasurer. The Finance Director shall be responsible for all transactions
undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate
officials. The use of an independent third party investment manager is authorized.
4.Investing fees
The General Fund shall be reimbursed from interest earnings for the cost of an investment
manager and safe keeping fees.
IV. Safekeeping and Custody
1.Authorized Financial Dealer and Institution
Security broker/dealers are selected by creditworthiness (minimum capital requirement
$10,000,000 and at least five years of operation). These may include “primary” dealers or
regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15C3-1
(uniform net capital rule).
All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for
investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate:
Audited financial statements
Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) certification
Proof of state registration
2.Internal Controls
The cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
a.Custodial safekeeping. Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate
collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for
custodial safekeeping. All trades where applicable will be executed by delivery vs. payment
(DVP). This ensures that securities are deposited with the custodian prior to the release of
funds.
b.Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. Subordinate staff members must
have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions.
Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on
the various staff position and their respective responsibilities.
c.Written confirmation of telephone transactions for investments. Due to the potential of error
and improprieties arising from telephone transactions, all telephone transaction should be
supported by written communications. Written communications may be via fax or Email.
V. Suitable and Authorized Investments
1.Investment Types
The following investments will be permitted by this policy and are those defined by state law
where applicable;
a.U.S. Government obligations, U.S. Government agency obligations, and U.S. Government
instrumentality obligations, which have a liquid market with a readily determinable market
value. This includes mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by any U.S.
Government agency.
b.Canadian government obligations (payable in local currency).
c.Certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at financial institutions, bankers’
acceptances, and commercial paper, rated A-1, P-1, F-1 or higher by at least two nationally
recognized rating agencies.
d.Investment-grade obligations of state and local governments and public authorities.
e.Repurchase agreements whose underlying purchased securities consist of the foregoing.
f.Money market mutual funds regulated by the Security and Exchange Commission and whose
portfolios consist only of dollar-denominated securities.
g.The purpose of an investment pool is to allow political subdivisions to pool available funds in
order to achieve a potentially higher yield. Authorized investment pools are the 4M Fund
administered by the League of Minnesota Cities and the “sweep” pool administered by the
investment custodian
h.Local government investment pools, either state-administered or through joint powers statutes
and other intergovernmental agreement legislation.
i.Investment in derivatives or high-risk mortgage-backed securities is not authorized.
2.Repurchase Agreements

on Repurchase Agreements.
VI. Investment Parameters
Pooling of Funds

balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the
various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
1.Diversification
The aggregate investment portfolio shall be diversified by:
Limiting investments to avoid over concentration in securities from a specific issuer or
business sector (excluding securities back by the US government).
Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks.
Investing in securities with varying maturities.
Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as local
government investment pools (LGIPs), money market funds or repurchase agreements to
ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations.
All investments other than in direct obligations or agencies of the United States, secured by
collateral, or repurchase agreements, shall not exceed fifty percent of the aggregate
investment portfolio. Mortgage-backed securities shall not exceed thirty percent of the
aggregate investment portfolio, at time of purchase.
Investment in any one corporation for commercial paper, repurchase agreements or
certificates of deposit shall not exceed five percent of the aggregate investment portfolio.
2.Performance Standards
The Longer-Term Core funds shall be managed in accordance with the parameters specified
within this policy and shall be regularly evaluated against a benchmark. The benchmark will be a
blend of eighty percent of the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury index and twenty percent of
the Merrill Lynch Mortgage, GNMA, All 15 Year index. This benchmark shall, at a minimum,
be reviewed every year to ensure consistency with the City of Shakopee's investment policy and
risk tolerances.
3.Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Shakopee shall attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City of Shakopee
will not directly invest in securities maturing more than ten (10) years from the date of purchase.
Longer-term funds shall not be invested in securities exceeding 10 years in modified duration, at
time of purchase.

bond and/or collateral aggregating the required amount. The City will not accept mortgages as
collateral.

deposit funds on a regular basis. Interest earnings and market value adjustments will be credited to
the source of the invested monies based on the average cash balance.

fire hose and firefighter’s turn out gear or non-major software are not capitalized. Significant software
that the city uses is not purchased outright. Items purchased in lots where the individual items are less
than $10,000 are not capitalized. For infrastructure or buildings, repairs/additions of less than $20,000 or
not materially improving or extending the life of the assets are not capitalized.
Developer contributions of infrastructure items shall have 15% added to the estimated construction cost
for indirect costs.
CAPITAL EQUIPMENT POLICY
The purpose of the City's capital equipment program is to plan for the replacement of obsolete equipment
and the purchase of new items without needing significant changes in the tax levy.

and a life of 1 year or more as part of the City's ten-year capital equipment program.

expenditures.

cost.

Division:
Category:General Government
Description of Services:
As the elected policy-making body for the City of Shakopee, the mayor and City Council are here for you, the residents of
Shakopee. The mayor and City Council are regularly asked to make difficult decisions based on information and
recommendations provided to them by staff, as well as input from the community. The job is not always easy, but they are
public servants who accept the responsibility to do all they can to make Shakopee an even better place to live, work and
play.
The mayor and council are responsible for adopting ordinances, setting policy, adopting budgets and reviewing certain
projects, as well as providing oversight to the administration. They typically meet as a group on the first and third Tuesdays
of every month, but due to the nature of city business, may be called in for special meetings or workshops. In addition
to regular meetings as a council, they are assigned committees to serve on; this helps them maintain relationships with
community, regional, state-wide and national-level groups to ensure that Shakopee’s voice is heard.
The mayor and City Council members are elected for staggered four-year terms. The mayor serves as chief executive
officer of the city and chairman of the City Council. The mayor attends many events throughout the year as ambassador of
the city. The mayor is a voting member of the City Council but has no veto power.

Budget Impact:
The 2018 Mayor and City Council budget is similar to previous years with only minor changes. Part-time wages for the
transcribing of meeting minutes were moved to the city clerk’s budget, while designated miscellaneous funding was
removed to ensure our budgets are as accurate and transparent as possible.
The largest portion of the mayor and council budget are membership dues to various organizations. Membership provides
value to the city in terms of connection with other agencies and opportunity for collaboration. Among the organizations we
actively engage with are the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE), the League of Minnesota
Cities and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. Each relationship helps the mayor, City Council and city staff
improve efficiency, stay atop of issues at the state and federal level and ensure that Shakopee’s voice is heard on important
issues outside the city limits.

Amongthe primary objectives ofthe cityare to provide excellent customer service to you and to work as efficiently as
possible. The City Clerk
’s office is a major both objective, as it serves as a hub forinformation throughout the
city.
When you walk in the door at the city hall or call city hall’s general phone number, typically the person you see or speak to
first is from the city clerk’s office. Our customer service staff is the helpful person who greets you and gets you where you
need to go, but so much more is going on in the background. Our staff is also taking payments, scanning and filing
documents into our electronic repository and transcribing meeting minutes. In 2018, we are adding a half-time staff person
to help improve our customer service to you. This addition will help ensure consistency in the customer service you receive
when you come to city hall. We also plan to use lessons learned in customer service to help train our customer service staff
throughout the organization.

Budget Impact:
The Finance Department has been active the past two years implementing several initiatives to increase financial
transparency and solidify the financial position of city funds. In 2016, the City Council implemented franchise fees for gas
and electric utilities with revenues dedicated to capital improvement projects. For 2018, staff recommended a separate
Economic Development Authority levy dedicated to economic development activities. Previously, these funds were
supported by a transfer from the general fund. Now they have dedicated and transparent funding sources.
Another initiative to increase transparency is revamping the budget document. A stand-alone Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) was adopted by the City Council for the first time in 2017. The operating budget is also changing with the goal of
becoming a shorter and more understandable document for all users. For example, the budget document is no longer just
about numbers; it is now more about telling a story through key measures, narratives and other budget indicators.
In addition to implementing CIP software, the department implemented a paperless accounts payable system in 2017 with
the goal of increasing internal controls and reducing the number of days to process invoices. The 2018 budget includes
ongoing maintenance costs of $3,100.

An important responsibility ofthe Planning Division isto set the stage for the future development ofthe community.
Envision Shakopee is a year-longprocess usingcommunity’sinput through online surveys, workshops and
communitygatheringsto set the city’s prioritiesfor 2040. This includes evaluating transportation networksand future
infrastructurerequirements.The Envision Shakopee Comprehensive Planshould be completed by June 2018 and
submitted to the Metropolitan Council by December 2018.
The City of Shakopee is projected to grow to more than 56,000 residents by 2040, with much of that growth occurring in
the Jackson Township area. In 2017, the city adopted an orderly annexation agreement with the township that allows 250
acres each year to be annexed by the city and additional land at the property owner’s request. The township has been
divided up into six areas to allow for delivery of city services in a timely fashion.
The Planning Division also acts as the case managers for major development projects, providing a single point of contact
for major subdivisions and developments. This allows one person to stay with the project from conception until final
certificate of occupancy. The planners answer hundreds of questions each week on everything from setbacks to zoning,
from residents, realtors, lenders and builders.
In 2018, we will be adding another planner to help answer common planning and zoning questions and to expedite smaller
building permits for decks, additions and single-family homes. This should reduce turnaround times and allow our senior
planners to work on updating various parts of the land development code to make it easier to understand, including the
portions related to signs and landscaping.
We will also be going entirely paperless in 2018. All planning applications can be submitted online, including plats,
variances and concept plans. This will decrease processing times from 45 to 30 days, improving our overall customer
service.

Budget Impact:
With the opening of our new city hall, there are many new challenges and things to learn in facilities. Our facilities staff is
well trained and capable in the management of facilities, but as with every new building, new pieces of equipment operate
differently. In 2018, we will continue working through those challenges. In addition to learning the intricacies of the new
building, we have two other major projects for 2018. First, we are looking at options to automate our work order process,
so we can more efficiently resolve issues, track and report our progress. Second, we will evaluate options to more
effectively track work on each piece of equipment, so we can more quickly learn when a piece of equipment is nearing the
end of its useful life.
For 2018, we have reduced funding by one full-time employee and have contracted with an outside vendor to provide
cleaning services. Contracting for cleaning services saves us approximately $27,000 per year and allows our maintenance
team to focus on higher level maintenance issues that need to be resolved.

Budget Impact:
It’s easy to say our goal is to keep people in Shakopee safe. While certainly true, our goal is also to exceed your
expectations and be known as the best police department in Minnesota. To do that, we must put together a budget that
provides the staffing, training and equipment necessary to reach these goals. This budget does just that.
Our department consistently trains well-beyond industry minimums. Couple that with our commitment to unparalleled
customer service and you can see why our department has been recognized with several state and national awards. Our
department has recently received multiple awards for innovation from both MADD and the Humphrey School of Public
Affairs.
While our population and calls for service continue to increase, our last five years have been the lowest crime rates in our
city’s history. To maintain that trend and keep up with growth, we are increasing our staff by three full-time positions,
which will help address several concerns you, our customers, shared in the most recent citizen survey.
Our first isa new, full-time code compliance officer. This will be a non-sworn position to help increase our efficiency and
compliance with citycode. The citizen surveyindicated a desire to see more compliance with code-related
issues. Thisposition will allow usto increase the number of complaints wecan address as well asallow for more
proactive activity.
The remaining two positions are sworn police officers to start in October 2018. Once trained, these positions will allow us
to have our street crimes unit year-round. This unit proactively addresses trends such as vandalisms and thefts. The unit
also focuses on our most frequent, repeat offenders and can assist in proactively addressing drug issues on the street. The
above-mentioned areas were raised in the citizen survey. These two officers will allow us to put the necessary resources in
place to proactively address your concerns.

Budget Impact:
The fire service industry is constantly evolving, and firefighters must stay up to date with the latest processes and standards
to be as safe as possible. The way we fight fires has changed because today’s materials have changed. We don’t see sofas
made from cotton batting and heavy wood anymore. We see modern couches made from petroleum-based poly fibers and
plastic, which burn hotter and faster than ever before. And when they burn, they give off carcinogens that can be inhaled
and/or absorbed through the skin unless properly protected.
Fighting fires isn’t what it used to be. Today, we respond to more than just fire calls. We respond to any and all hazards,
and it takes dedicated firefighters with the proper training to handle these calls. That’s why the Shakopee Fire Department
has always been a strong believer in continuing education for our personnel. Unfortunately, we consistently fall short of
our goals internally and by national standards. To correct the problem, the 2018 budget includes funds for a full-time
assistant fire chief. This position will develop training programs, schedule, supervise and administer a comprehensive fire
training program and tracking that meets national standards. The assistant fire chief will also be responsible for the
department in the absence of the fire chief and will assist the chief with preparing budgets and managing personnel.
The budget also includes the full-year salary and benefits for our administration captain, which restructured from the
former office assistant position mid-2017. This position has enabled us to maintain better records, provide faster more
effective customer service and maintain organization within the department.
The 2018 budget also provides funding to maintain our current level of services, such as firefighter training, vehicle and
equipment maintenance, emergency medical services, technical rescue, fire prevention education, plan reviews and
inspections – all of which are vitally important to our consistently high ratings in citizen surveys. In addition, we must
continually update our equipment to meet new parameters for replacement. For example, new requirements by the National
Fire Protection Association are making drastic changes to the new Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) that
firefighters use at every fire scene. We will work toward meeting these standards by replacing some aging SCBA’s yearly
and spreading the cost over several budget cycles.
The fire department continually seeks grants and donations to support our budget. In 2017, we received approximately
$40,000 for training reimbursement from the Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training and Education and a $10,000
donation from the Rahr Malting Corp. towards the purchase of new rescue tools to allow for faster rescue times. We seek
grants in an effort to preserve fiscal accountability.
Since 2012, the Shakopee Fire Department Relief Association has not required any monetary support from the city toward
the paid-on-call firefighter pension fund. We anticipate this to continue with the recent bylaw changes that were approved
by council in 2017.

Budget Impact:
The Building Inspection Division’s priority is to ensure that customers, whether homeowners or developers, receive a
project that meets industry standards and provides a safe environment to live, work or shop in. This includes inspecting
everything from a million-square-foot warehouse to a backyard deck. Inspections require a lot of time in the field, and like
the mailman, we deliver that service in heat, rain, sleet or snow.
With more than 3,300 permits in 2017, inspectors carried out more than 5,500 inspections. As construction and codes get
more complicated, the city has been looking at ways to give inspectors more time in the field and allow customers the
ability to apply for permits at any time.
This past year, we implemented ProjectDox and ePermits. These programs allow applicants to apply and pay for a permit
online and to submit drawings electronically 24 hours a day. In 2017, we created a new permit coordinator position, which
processed more than 1,700 ePermits and served as customers’ single point of contact for permit information. This software
also allows permit status and comments to be available in real time to applicants, reducing permit review times and
allowing applicants to make any necessary changes and resubmit for a faster turnaround.
In late 2017, the building inspectors also began inspecting landscaping on development projects. This is to make sure that
plant materials are properly placed and planted and that damaged or dead materials are replaced prior to the warranty
period.
In 2018, we will be implementing online inspections and electronic field inspections. This will allow inspectors to access
electronic drawings in the field along with notes and comments. City staff will be able to complete inspections in real time,
allowing more time in the field. We will also be implementing a completely paperless application system. Customers at the
city hall counter will be able to enter permits directly into our system.

Budget Impact:
If your patience survived a city’s reconstruction projects in your neighborhood, CONGRATULATIONS! Road and utility
construction projects equate to one big nuisance: roads closed, detours, access issues, noise, dust, periodic loss of water
service, etc. How more disrupting can we be to your everyday life for a summer?
Keeping the city’s infrastructure maintained to a sustainable level keeps a community viable. The Engineering Division
carries out the strategic infrastructure planning to do so from concept to design, from construction management to asset
management. Engineering staff are consistently challenged with being experts in a wide range of infrastructure
management and design, traffic safety, transportation planning, materials testing, project management, natural resources,
contract management, underground utilities, surveying, private development and the many different multi-jurisdictional
layers of laws, rules and regulations that the city must abide by.
Our department consistently seeks the continuing education to ensure we stay sharp in our expertise and all the latest and
greatest technologies. Thank you in advance for your patience in all that we do.
With a new building and recent staff changes, our division is looking forward to improving our system service and internal
systems in 2018. We anticipate this will be a year of improvements in how we do business internally and in our partnership
with other city departments, particularly the Department of Planning and Development.

expletive here)? Old mattress and garbage dumped on city property? Yep, most of these issues are addressed by the Streets
Maintenance Division.
The city has 11 crews assigned to the Streets Maintenance Division, Sewer and Surface Water Divisions that maintain the
156 miles of city streets and utilities. Thanks to strategic planning by the city, the condition of Shakopee’s streets is among
the top cities throughout the metro and state.
When it comes to snow and ice control events, it is “all hands-on deck.” In addition to the streets crews, the parks crews
and mechanics also jump in the equipment to plow more than 250 miles of streets, alleys, trails and sidewalks in addition to
the many city facility parking lots. Although it doesn’t snow like it did back in the day, stay tuned. We’re bound to get a
lunker snow storm every now and again.

Snow Blowers. The city has nearly 400 pieces of equipment and vehicles in its inventory. It takes a lot of equipment to
support the many functions of the city. To some people’s surprise, only three mechanics at the city’s full-service garage
maintain this very diverse vehicle and equipment inventory, keeping a very high standard of maintenance.
In addition to thousands of maintenance and repair services throughout the year, the city’s garage runs a fuel dispensary
system that provides fuel to the city’s fleet, as well as Scott County, the Shakopee School District and Shakopee Public
Utilities vehicles. About 95,000 gallons of fuel is dispensed annually.
If you see a city vehicle that is dirty, we hope it is headed to the city’s car wash. The city has an automatic car wash, with a
count of almost 1,600 washes in 2017. In addition to the car wash, the city operates an automatic truck wash. After every
snow and ice-control event, the trucks head through the truck wash to wash off the salt and grime, helping to extend the
service life of the city’s trucks. We all know what salt does to our vehicles in Minnesota.

Budget Impact:
It takes a lot to maintain the facilities and grounds for one of the largest property owners in Shakopee – the city. How do
you maintain 662.4 acres of parks/open space land with 43 parks, 27 playgrounds, 93 sports fields and 194 acres to be
mowed. With great and efficient staff! The Parks Maintenance Division consists of nine full-time and 14 seasonal staff that
do it all.
In addition to the routine mowing, field preparation, park shelter maintenance, skating/hockey rink maintenance, snow
plowing of trails, etc., the park maintenance staff oversaw several projects in 2017, including the painting of Schleper
Stadium, replacement of playground equipment at Emerald Lane and Hiawatha parks, roof replacement and painting of the
gazebo on Levee Drive, construction of the Shakopee Fun For All, ADA-compliant playground in Lions Park and
reconstruction of the pedestrian trail at Muenchow Fields. Using our own equipment and crews, city staff also reconfigured
ball field #8 at Tahpah Park so it can support sanctioned tournaments, reconfigured ball field #1 in Muenchow Fields to
support its usage and constructed a new 120-foot-by-240-foot football/soccer playfield in Tahpah Park to mention a few.
Expect more of the same in 2018.
With such an expansive, heavy workload and with the goal of maintaining top-notch facilities to serve our residents’
sporting, recreation and active living events, it takes a dedicated, well-experienced crew. Next time you see parks crews
mowing the ball fields or plowing the snow off a trail, give them a wave.

Budget Impact:
Nature can be destroyed in a matter of seconds but can take years and decades to restore. A key initiative to avoid this
destruction was to create the Natural Resources Division. This division is tasked with implementing initiatives to preserve
and protect the city’s urban forest, wetlands, plantings in open spaces, buffers around water bodies, invasive plant
management and public education to develop natural resource/environmental outreach programs with conservation in mind.
The city’s tree stock is such a significant and valuable resource. Trees give us oxygen, absorb storm water and carbon
dioxide, store carbon, stabilize the soil, absorb pollutants, prevent flooding and soil erosion, provide shade from solar
radiation, reduce noise and wind speed, lower stress and blood pressure, increase property values and so much more.
Maintaining safe, healthy trees takes significant efforts, and the city is dedicated to these efforts. Shakopee has received the
“Tree City USA” designation for the past nine years for the city’s efforts and commitment to its urban forest management.
Contact the Public Works Department for information about purchasing a tree at our annual spring tree sale.
In 2018, the city is adding a new full-time water resources/environmental engineer to assist in a variety of environmental
projects, including natural resources. This position will continue to ensure we are good stewards of our community’s great
resources.

Budget Impact:
The Parks and Recreation Department is a major contributor to providing residents with a high quality of life. The
recreation and parks that we offer help lower health care costs, reduce stress, enhance social relationships and give
residents a sense of belonging and pride in the city they live in. In recent years, the city has made a major investment in the
construction of the Ice Arena and renovations to the Community Center. The 2018 budget reflects the changes needed to
ensure the facilities are successful and that the residents are well served with these great amenities.
The reaction to and support of the Community Center/Ice Arena is reflected in the 219-percent membership increase. We
project revenues to increase by 209 percent in 2018 over 2017. To continue to provide excellent customer service to our
growing members and users, we have increased staffing with three full-time positions. These positions include a
maintenance worker and two full-time lifeguards. Having new facilities also requires allocations for increased electric and
gas utilities, fitness equipment capital leases and a landscaping maintenance contract.
In 2017, our department was recognized by several local and state agencies with awards and other recognitions. The
Community Center and Ice Arena were featured in Rink Magazine, Athletic Business and Minnesota Recreation and Parks
Magazine. The Shakopee Fun For All Inclusive Playground was featured in the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Magazine
and given the Award of Excellence by the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association.
Our department is also successful thanks to the amazing partnerships and sponsorships that help us provide programs and
facilities to our residents. We received more than $2,000 and hundreds of prizes for our special events and programs. The
Shakopee School District and Shakopee Youth Baseball Association contributed $225,000 to Tahpah West ballfield. We
also secured another $150,000 in grants for park projects.

Budget Impact:
One of the most common things we’ve heard through the Envision Shakopee process is that people want to be able to live
and work in Shakopee. They want housing choices – to start out in an apartment, move to a townhouse as their family
grows and then to a single-family home. Currently only about 20 percent of Shakopee residents work and live in the
community. Thus, one of the largest issues to be faced is how to attract and train our workforce. As Shakopee continues to
grow and jobs become more technical and complex, training will be a critical element to retain and grow our companies.
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) is striving to attract higher paying jobs to the community to employ more of
our residents. Companies like EntrustData Card, Emerson and Seagate are some of our benchmarks. These companies offer
higher wage jobs and their products are also high value. Also, newer companies like Shutterfly have recently diversified
their business and are hiring more technical and higher paying positions.
More than 60 percent ofall job growth comes from existing companies.In 2018, the EDA is puttinga stronger emphasis
on businessretention and expansion. We want our Shakopee companiesto expand locally. We will be restrto
create a newposition to concentrate on a business retention and expansion program, while identifying companies that
would benefit from locatingin Shakopee near our key employers. This “clustering” of businesses is a proven strategyto
retain and expand companies.
A common thread through our Envision Shakopee feedback has been community interest in the revitalization of downtown.
In recent year, the City Council committed $2 million in public improvements that will reconnect the community to its
historic roots. The EDA is currently seeking proposals for two city-owned sites: the former city hall and a key location
along the Minnesota River. Proposals will be returned in 2018 and the EDA and City Council will be discussing plans
throughout 2018. Our goal is to make downtown a 24-hour area for residents, visitors and businesses.
The EDA has also heard from the community its desire for more diversity in restaurant selection and local establishments.
The EDA will be working on getting the Shakopee story out to entrepreneurs and small businesses throughout the year to
attract them to areas throughout the community.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
Debt Service Funds are established to account for the activity of servicing general
obligation debt, paid for by tax levy and special assessments. Any residual balances in
debt service funds are transferred to the Capital Improvement Fund. Debt Service
Prepayments from special assessments and the use of existing cash position have allowed
for reductions in previous and current year levies. Future budgets will require increased
debt service levies to meet future payment obligations.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS
Capital Project Funds are established to account for the construction of major capital
facilities. Projects resources are a combination of several revenue sources such as bond
proceeds, inter-fund transfers, intergovernmental revenue, grants, etc. These funds
provide the means for administrators to ensure that designated revenues are appropriately
utilized.
Park Reserve Fund (4020) is for park acquisition and improvements.
Capital Improvement Fund (4021) is for various infrastructure projects in the City.
Individual project sheets for both Park Reserve and Capital Improvement Funds are
included. These sheets provide a summary of each project, location, description, source
of funds and use of funds. They are located at the end of the budget book, under the tab
“Capital Improvement Programs”.

Budget Impact:
The City of Shakopee has 35 unique parks that are part of more than 600 acres of park and open space within the city. As
we grow, we continue to build out our amazing park system with park dedication fees received from developers, grants and
donations. Over the years our youth sports associations have contributed more than $400,000 to enhance our park system,
and again in 2017, the Shakopee Youth Baseball Association contributed $75,000 to complete the Tahpah West ballfield.
Our parks range from tot lots to large community parks. A large, unique and amazing opportunity that we have had is to
reclaim a retired quarry and turn it into a regional destination. Phase I of Quarry Lake Park was completed in 2017 laying
the ground work for the remaining park to be developed. The park is 111 acres, so developing it takes time. Phase II of the
park is currently planned for 2018, contingent on funding. Phase II will add 3 miles of trails for our residents to utilize
whether they are exercising or just enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
Other ways we can develop parks is to work with the developers one on one to build a park during the development
process. This is the goal of the park to be developed on Jennifer Lane. The developer is building this area out in phases and
has dedicated park land during the first phase. During the second phase, the developer will build a portion of the park with
the park dedication fees owed for that phase. We will work with the developer on the design and amenities desired by the
community.
The Park Reserve Fund changes each year as new developments come in and as parks get developed.

Budget Impact:
Strategic long-term planning results in a viable, sustainable infrastructure. The five-year capital improvement plan is the
workhorse for this planning. Under the plan, projects are developed, planned and initiated. Why is this important? Without
it, the city’s infrastructure would begin to fail beyond a point of no return, which could basically bankrupt a city.
In 2017, the city milled and overlaid 7.9 miles of streets, reconstructed 0.7 miles of utilities and streets, rehabilitated the
trail along a portion of Vierling Drive, partnered with Scott County to construct a new trail along County Highways 78 and
79 and reconstructed the downtown parking lot and adjacent alley. Expect more of the same in 2018 with a similar mill and
overlay project, the reconstruction of Shakopee Avenue west of County Highway 17, more downtown alley reconstruction
and other storm sewer, sanitary sewer and trail projects. The city has a well-rounded and skilled staff in place to deliver
many of these projects internally, while relying on outside consultants as needed.
If you see a roadway with potholes, you can call public works and may find that rehabbing that roadway is in our long-term
strategic plan. If not, we need to get it in there.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Enterprise Funds are maintained to account for the operation of the sanitary sewer,
storm drainage systems and refuse.
Since the operation of these systems is financed by user charges and are self-supporting,
they are accounted for in a manner similar to private business. The Storm Drainage Fund
was established by Ordinance 176 in 1985.
The intent of the City Council is to have a cash balance to at least equal accumulated
depreciation. This follows the City Auditor’s recommendation. Accumulated
depreciation is a reflection of historical costs of depreciable assets. Replacement cost is
expected to be two to two and one half times as much as historical costs. Cash balance is
also expected to have approximately 4 months of operating expenditures for cash flow
purposes. The City reviews fees annually to determine appropriate revenue levels.

Budget Impact:
Nothing is more unnoticed than what happens behind the scenes to keep the sewer flowing when you flush your toilet in
the morning.
The city’s sanitary sewer system consists of 127.2 miles of underground pipe. Most of the sewer system is gravity, flowing
downhill towards the Minnesota River where the city has a pumping station. The sewer is then pumped east toward the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Service’s (MCES) Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. northeast of the city. Of
Shakopee’s approximate $5 million sanitary sewer budget, $2.5 million goes directly to MCES for payment of the regional
treatment fees.
Pipes often become clogged with grease buildup and debris that shouldn’t have been flushed down the toilet. City crews
systematically clean the sewer conveyance system to minimize blockages and backups, and crews perform other general
inspections to ensure all is flowing clean and unrestricted. Additionally, the pumping station is monitored 24-7 by a
telemetry system that alarms city crews with any issues. In 2018, the city plans to improve its telemetry system to better
safeguard against potential blockages.
Remember: Help keep the sewer flowing; do not flush foreign substances/items down the toilet!

Budget Impact:
When it rains, water flows downhill. Sometimes too fast, sometimes not fast enough. Surface water can be challenging to
manage, especially with the many unfunded mandates of the Clean Water and Wetland Conservation Acts and the many
overlapping jurisdictional authorities from three different watershed districts within the city, Minnesota Board of Water
and Soils Resources, Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA), Scott County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The city obtains a permit through the MPCA’s National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System to discharge water
from the city into downstream water bodies (e.g., the Minnesota River). The permit requires the city to establish a
comprehensive storm water management program that includes education and outreach, public participation and
involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site runoff control, post-construction management,
and pollution prevention/good housekeeping.
In 2018, the city is adding a new full-time position to assist in storm water management. A water resources/environmental
engineer will spearhead and manage this sometimes daunting, yet very important work for the city. The position is
anticipated to be a cost savings for the city, since our Engineering team will have to rely less on outside consultants.

Fund:Equipment Internal Service Fund
Description of Services:
This fund finances the multi-year Equipment Plan. Financing to purchase equipment is provided by "rent"
payments from the operating departments at rates established annually by the Finance Department as part of
the budget process. Equipment for the Sewer and Storm Drainage enterprise funds is not included. The
Equipment Fund shall "own" and acquire larger pieces of equipment including but not limited to cars,
trucks, graders, loaders, tractors and larger mowers or items generally costing $20,000 or more.

# Vehicles added/replaced22291918
Vehicles and Machinery in Service136167166171
Establishment:
The Equipment Fund was established by Resolution #4077 in 1994.
Budget Impact:
With nearly 400 pieces of equipment and vehicles, it is important to have a well-planned vehicle
replacement program. For the larger, more expensive vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, police squads, fire engines,
etc.), the city charges city departments rent for the replacement of the vehicles. Yes, the city charges the city.
The home department/division for the vehicle contributes a rent amount to the Equipment Internal Service
Fund to ensure adequate funds are in place for the purchase of the vehicle at time of replacement.
Unlike most consumers who wish they had saved in advance, this is what the city does to avoid borrowing
money. Prudent planning with a smart strategic replacement plan ensures vehicles are replaced at the right
time. The Finance and Public Works Departments work closely with the city’s vehicle users to ensure we
meet all the city’s vehicle needs.
This year brings us to a sad moment when one of our old police squads, which was being used as a public
works staff car (the last of our old “Crown Vics”), was determined to be at the end of its useful life. We
decided it was time to sell the old goat. It will be replaced by another hand-me-down police Ford Interceptor,
retired from the police department.

Fund:Self Insurance Internal Service Fund

* City of Shakopee and Shakopee Public Utility Commission were in a combined pool for insurance.
Establishment:
The Self Insurance Fund was created in 2016 as a result of savings realized from increasing deductible
premiums for the property/casualty policy. General liability moved to the self insurance fund at the 7/1/16
renewal. Workers Compensation moved to the self insurance fund at the 1/1/17 renewal. In addition, a
2016 transfer of $75,000 from the General Fund surplus created an inital balance suitable for covering
annual deductible claims expenses. The goal of the fund is to establish an appropriate fund balance with the
ultimategoal of moving towards a self insurance program, thus realizing the benefit of reduced premiums.
Budget Impact:
The workers comp mod factor relates to the frequency and severity of an employer's workers compensation
claims over a three-year period, and it is used to calculate the premium. A mod factor of 1.00 is considered
average for an employer's particular industry; the lower the mod factor, the better.
The liability rating is calculated using a formula that looks at the city's expected liability claim losses
compared to the actual losses. Data is used over a three-year period, and it is used to calculate the premium.
A liability rating of 1.00 means the city's actual losses equal the expected losses for a city of similar size and
expenditures.
