Mahtomedi Council to Consider Law Enforcement Contract, Garage Removal; Commissions Take Up Parks and Lakes
City Council — July 7
The Mahtomedi City Council met July 7, 2026, at City Hall. Minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes of the items below are not yet confirmed in the official record.
The Council was scheduled to consider several agreements, including an amendment to extend the Law Enforcement Services Agreement, a Contract for Criminal Prosecution Legal Services, and an agreement regarding the removal of a garage at 200 Warner Ave. S. The agenda also listed a resolution appointing Election Judges for the August 11 Primary and a service contract with Washington County for an organics drop-off.
A public hearing was also set for 7:00 p.m. that evening to consider vacating plat-dedicated drainage and utility easements at 641 and 645 Warner Ave. S. Interested persons were invited to comment in person or by email before the hearing.
Because minutes are not yet available, it is not possible to report how the Council voted on any of these items or whether the easement vacation was approved. Readers should watch for the official minutes to confirm any decisions.
Environmental Commission — July 13
The Environmental Commission met July 13, 2026. Minutes have not yet been published.
The agenda included approval of the June 8, 2026 meeting minutes, a discussion on the management of lakes and wetlands, and a presentation on water quality data for Lost Lake. The commission also planned to recognize an Eco-Hero and to review wetland buffer ordinance text and shoreland overlay district text.
Park Commission — July 15
The Park Commission met July 15, 2026. Minutes have not yet been published.
The agenda listed a discussion of a potential adoption of Wildwood Park by the Wildwood Lions, along with a Gosiwin Park discussion. Progress updates were also scheduled on a dog park, a boardwalk, and Streetcar Park.
What This Means for Residents
The Council agenda items touch on public safety contracting, a property condition at 200 Warner Ave. S., election staffing for the August 11 Primary, and an organics drop-off service with Washington County. The easement vacation hearing, if approved, would affect drainage and utility access at two Warner Avenue South addresses. The commission discussions on lakes, wetlands, and parks are advisory and do not by themselves change city policy.
