White Bear Lake City Council 8/25/26

The City of White Bear Lake held a City Council meeting on August 25, 2026, which included a detailed community development biannual report focusing on building permits, code enforcement, zoning activities, and rental licensing. The council discussed a capital improvement project involving street reconstruction and storm sewer upgrades in a residential area near downtown, including assessments for benefiting property owners. The project is progressing on schedule with a contractor and utility crews actively working, and the council approved the assessment resolution, which allocates approximately 30% of project costs to property owners with the remainder funded by the city.
