A Message From The Mayor

Dear Chanhassen Residents,


I wanted to provide you with a brief update on City Council business:
 
City Manager Search
After an extensive six-month process, we have selected our finalist, Laurie Hokkanen. We are currently in contract negotiations and plan to have an agreement ready for approval on February 18th. Laurie will join the City with extensive city management experience and knowledge of the Chanhassen area along with great enthusiasm to continue moving this city forward in a positive direction.
 
City Commissioners
At our February 22nd work session and the two subsequent meetings, City Council will begin interviewing for commission seats. We had 22 applicants for our Planning, Parks & Recreation, Senior, and Environmental Commissions. We look forward to making these appointments as our commissioners provide invaluable feedback and direction for City Council.
 
Strategic Planning
On February 19th and 20th, the City Council and senior leadership will undergo a two-day strategic planning session. This process will be comprehensive in nature and will utilize our most recent resident survey as well as the feedback we collect from residents throughout the year. The objective is to develop long-term goals that will help shape the strategic direction of our city. We will share the results of this planning process in the spring.
 
Communication
We work hard to stay connected to our residents. An important component of that communication is hearing from you. If you have a comment or question for City Council, please use the publiccomments@ci.chanhassen.mn.us email. Additionally, you can reach the City Council directly at council@ci.chanhassen.mn.us or contact me at eryan@ci.chanhassen.mn.us.
 
Thank you - stay warm!
Elise
