The Hillman sisters—Maddie, Kayla, Paige—are triplets and all work for Parks and Recreation in aquatics and programming.

Family Ties City has history of employing families

Whether you are a young adult who is looking for their first job or a retiree looking for some supplemental income, the City of Shakopee offers many options. The city not only offers a competitive wage for our positions, but we also try to treat our employees like a family—and sometimes they actually are family. We often find that siblings of our seasonal employees apply for a similar position as their sibling because of the structure of the position or because the siblings share like interests. An example of this is the Sau- ers family: Ben Sauers started working for Parks and Rec in 2015 as an aquatic assistant, and he eventually received his lifeguard certificate and went on to be a SandVenture Assistant Manager. When Ben’s younger brother, Jack, turned 15, he also applied for an assistant position and followed in his brother’s footsteps. William (Bill) Folz and his son Mavryk and daughter Sam all work for the city. Bill is a Guest Services Coor- dinator for the Community Center, Mavryk works as a Recreation Assistant for some of the youth pro- grams and Samworks in guest services. Then there’s the Hillman sisters—Maddie, Kayla and Paige—who all work in aquatics and recreation programming. They followed in the footsteps of their older brothers, who are former lifeguards. It’s not just our seasonal or part-time employees that are often family. Meet the Frassels: Mike Frassel has been a full-time employee of the Public Works Department for 25 years. His daughter Megan started working as a Service Desk Attendant, Recreation Assistant and Birthday Party Host in 2018. In 2021, she became a Community Center Guest Services Coordinator and she now works mornings before attending school at Normandale. Throughout the city organization, there are approximately 30 current employees that are family—whether sibling, spouse, cousin, or child. It’s important that our employees have a sense of belonging and that they feel the city is committed to their professional growth and work-life balance. Our positions are flexible and we seek to provide an array of experiences to pique a variety of interests. Current job openings are listed on the city’s website at www.ShakopeeMN.gov/employment . If you are interested in becoming part of the City of Shakopee family, please check out the career openings and see if there is a position for you!

REGISTRATION DEADLINES Registration deadlines are established for each class to help ensure appropriate staffing, sup- plies and facilities to meet registration needs. Please refer to the programdescriptions for each program’s registration deadline. If no registra- tion deadline is listed, the deadline is seven days before the program begins. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I know I'm in? You can assume you are in the class you regis- tered for unless you receive a call to the contrary. We will call you only if: ■ The class you chose has reached its registration limit and you were placed on the waiting list. ■ Your second choice was processed. ■ Your registration form is incomplete. Can I transfer to another class? We will make every effort to accommodate your request to transfer to another class; however, that may not always be possible. There is a $10 service fee charged on all class transfers that must be paid at the time of request. We appreciate your understanding when we are not able to accommodate cancellations, transfers or registrations after the registration deadlines. Do programs have a waiting list? Due to facility space and staff limitations, many classes have registration limits. When classes have reached their maximum registration, a wait list will be started. If an opening becomes avail- able, it will be offered to the first/next person on the waiting list until the opening is filled.

Every effort will bemade to create additional class sessions, and you will be contacted if your regis- tration is able to be accommodated. Once the class begins, if we have been unable to accom- modate you, we will return any fee(s) paid. What is your refund policy? Registration fees for programs canceled by the Parks and Recreation Department receive a full refund. If you cancel your registration before the regis- tration deadline, we will refund your registration fee, minus a $10 processing fee. No refunds will be given if a cancellation is requested after the registration deadline. What happens if I miss a class? Make-ups for individual missed classes will not be accommodated. NON-RESIDENT FEE POLICY All participants living outside the city limits of Shakopee must pay a $10 non-resident fee for each program. This amount is per participant per class andmust be paid when registering. Non-resident fees are not applicable to one day events, field trips, youth associations or adult athletic leagues. Jackson and Louisville Township resident reg- istrations: The amount due will be listed based on your residency. The $10 will be paid by the township at the end of the year. If it is not cor- rect, please call our office at 952-233-9500. I have a Shakopee address. Why am I not considered a resident? Even though your mailing address is Shako- pee, you reside in a township or adjacent com- munity. Your tax dollars are not directed to the

municipality of Shakopee. School District bound- aries and city boundaries are not the same. Why does a non-resident have to pay more than a resident? Residents within city limits have a portion of their tax dollars support city services. Slightly higher fees for non-residents are intended to keep the financial aspect fair. INCLUSION POLICY & PROCESS The City of Shakopee is dedicated to providing: ■ Opportunities for everyone to be a valued customer and welcomed participant in programs, regardless of ability level. ■ Reasonable accommodations as needed. When registering for a program, please indicate the participant’s special need. Then, contact Carla Kress at 952-233-9516 three weeks prior to the start of the program to discuss strategies for inclusion and for staff to gather information about the participant. Youmay be asked to com- plete a confidential intake assessment in order for staff to gain appropriate information about the participant’s abilities. HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Financial aid for qualifying residents with finan- cial limitations is available. For more information please contact the department at 952-233-9505, Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Applications are valid fromSept. 1–Aug. 30.
