Woodbury City Council Meeting 5-13-26

The Woodbury City Council meeting held on May 13, 2026, included several procurement and planning discussions. Key procurement-related items included the approval of a liquor license for Mark's Cafe LLC, with background checks completed and no violations found. The council also approved a cooperative agreement with South Washington Watershed District for goldfish management. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the consideration and approval of the Cottage Grove Drive Master Plan, which involves development guidelines, stormwater management, and housing diversity, including innovative approaches to attainable housing with lot size and price caps discussed. The council approved the master plan despite some concerns about affordability safeguards. Additionally, the council discussed the upcoming issuance and sale of approximately $41.3 million in general obligation sales tax revenue bonds to finance the public safety campus expansion project, with a bond sale planned for June 24, 2026. The bonds are expected to maintain the city's AAA credit rating. The meeting also featured presentations on community survey results and public comments on topics such as backyard chickens and immigration-related resolutions, though these were not procurement-focused.
