2020 Annual Budget

Division: Category: General Government Mayor & Council

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, they 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.
