City Council - 07.13.26

The City Council of Minnetonka held a regular meeting on July 13, 2026, which included discussions on various city matters but limited procurement activity. Key procurement-related items included approval of consent agenda items such as an agreement related to Homes Within Reach and a resolution concerning the replacement of power poles along a 10-mile stretch with Excel Energy, which involved questions about undergrounding utility lines and project management. The council approved the replacement project despite some concerns about pole placement and utility line burial. Additionally, a new liquor license application for Rune Savories LLC was introduced, with the public hearing continued to a future date. The council also approved the vacation of an easement related to a property development project. No new bids or purchases were presented during the meeting. The meeting concluded with a closed session to discuss labor negotiation strategies.
