Engineering and Public Works 2025 Annual Report

NEW FACES, SEASONAL STAFF, AND INTERNS

ENGINEERING INTERNSHIPS The Engineering Department hosted three interns for the summer of 2025: Ella Lysne in the Water Resources Division and Jack Rademacher and Bodhi Perera in the Engineering Division.

Ella Lysne

Jack Rademacher

Bodhi Perera

Ella, Jack, and Bodhi were responsible for supporting staff in the Engineering Department and completing projects throughout the community, including collecting the City’s annual traffic counts, collecting data in response to traffic safety issues, inspecting stormwater management systems, updating the City’s GIS database, and inspecting public improvement projects. These summer interns played a crucial role in expanding the department’s public outreach initiatives by creating a Shakopee Trivia game for the City’s Rhythm on the Rails booth. The game was used to educate the public about the new Adopt-a-Drain program. Ella, Jack, and Bodhi were a great addition to our team and helped us accomplish so many initiatives and projects in such a short amount of time. The City wishes them well in their future career endeavors.
