2018 City of Shakopee Budget

53

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.
