Budget Impact: In 2023 the clerk’s office expects to focus on improving the agenda management program to bring efficiency and accessibility to public meeting documents. Additionally, the clerks' office is continuing to improve internal operations and processes, with the hope that it continues to provide for a better experience for both our internal and external customers. Another primary focus in 2023 will be replacing election pollpads and adding a new tabulator. The pollpads will reach end of life prior to the 2024 election cycle, and due to the recent redistricting we have added three new polling locations, which will require the purchase of one new tabulator. In recent years, our elections staff have been able to provide a greater level of service in terms of customer service as we have continued to improve upon the In-Person Absentee Voting option for registered voters in Shakopee, as well as those in Jackson and Louisville Townships, here at City Hall. In 2022 staff added a new elections program to improve the onboarding, scheduling, and training of election judges. Staff will continue to evaluate the processes and spaces previously, used as well as evaluate new alternatives to continue to provide a high level of service into the future.
