Chaska Administration Department
The City Administrator's Office is committed to providing exceptional services that enhance the quality of life for our citizens. Currently, Dave Pokorney serves as Chaska's City Administrator with Matt Podhradsky Chaska's Assistant City Administrator and Margo Steffel in the position of Deputy City Clerk/Administative Secretary.
The City of Chaska Operates under the Council-Manager form of government, created through a home-rule charter. In 1975 the City abandoned the home rule charter, becoming a statutory city maintaining the city manager form of government. Under this structure, the City Administrator is the chief executive officer of the city and is responsible for the overall management of city operations.
Functions of the City Manager include:
Implement policy decisions and legislative actions as directed by the City Council
Make recommendations to the City Council on the business of the city and policy considerations
Oversee the operations of the city, delivery of services, and determine performance
Assure that the laws, ordinances, and resolutions are enforced within the city
Appoint upon the basis of merit and fitness and remove all other appointive officers except the City Attorney, all heads of departments, and all subordinate officers and employees
Prepare the cit budget and oversee financial operations
