Mayor - Mark Windschitl

Mark Windschitl was first elected to the position of Mayor by Special Election on January 19, 2010. 

Mark currently is a full-time Assistant Chief of Operations for the St. Louis Park Fire Department.  He was one of two Chiefs sent to an area southwest of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.  The area covered was about 80 miles long and 40 miles of that was devastated.  They provided fire services, handed out food and water, and rendered assistance to the only fire department operable after the hurricane. 

Last spring Mark was sent to Moorhead on two separate occasions during the floods, where he worked along side of the Moorhead Operations Chief in charge of sandbagging and monitoring operations. 

Mark is Chairperson of the SW Mutual Aid Joint Operations, which is a group of cites that work together regularly in major incidents.  This committee coordinates training, equipment purchases, and reviews ways in which their cites can work better together.   During the 35W bridge collapse, Mark was the Logistics Chief, and he was also in charge of the Strike Team that assisted with forest fires in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area known as Ham Lake.

Mark is very active in the Chaska community as well, having co-chaired two State Amateur Baseball Tournaments at Chaska Athletic Park, been a co-owner of a small local business, past employee of the Chaska Public Works Department, and retired from the Chaska Fire Department after 21 years of service.  He lives on Mallary Lane in Chaska and is the father of three children and a proud Grandpa of four grandchildren.  He can be contacted at Mwindschitl@chaskamn.com or at 612-237-4188.
