2026 Budget for the City of Shakopee

22

Organization Highlights FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES

The city counts full-time equivalent (FTE) employees because it shows both full-time and part-time employees based on the numbers of hours worked per week. The city budgeted for an increase of City FTEs from 179 in 2025 to 181.5 in 2026. This increase reflects the addition of a building inspector, recreation specialist and a part-time to full time administrative assistant. In 2024 the city changed from a paid on call firefighters to part-time fire fighters to meet the community demands and manage the department more effectively.
