# Lakeville City Council Meeting 9-21-26

The City of Lakeville held a City Council meeting on September 21, 2026, where several procurement and development-related topics were discussed. Key procurement-related discussions included the withdrawal of a consent agenda item related to a project, and the acceptance of a $31,500 donation from the Lakeville Public Safety Foundation to outfit and train a new Police Department honor guard unit. The council also reviewed and approved a preliminary and final plat development stage plan for a new Goodwill store, addressing community concerns about traffic and safety, with the applicant providing detailed traffic and operational data. Additionally, the council considered a resolution to acknowledge Lakeville as the proposed host city for Expo 2031 Minnesota USA, a major international horticulture exposition. The Expo representatives outlined plans for infrastructure, legacy development, and funding strategies involving public-private partnerships, with no immediate city financial commitments requested. The meeting also included discussion of commercial vehicle and parking ordinance updates aimed at addressing parking challenges and enforcement issues. The council approved the consent agenda minus two items and passed the Expo 2031 host city resolution, setting the stage for further public engagement and planning.
