2018 City of Shakopee Budget

73

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.
