Source limit: The minutes confirm the consent agenda passed by a 5-0 total in one block vote; they do not record an individual roll call, so each member's position on any single item is not separately named. The FY2025 audit was a presentation received with no vote, and the Municipal Campus update was a discussion with no vote, so neither is a council decision. Dollar amounts and full terms for the consent items are in the agenda packet, not restated in the minutes.
Why it may matter: These June 16, 2026 actions include how election judges are appointed for the 2026 state primary and general election, a change to an apartment planned unit development, a park restoration contract, and police equipment. The FY2025 audit gave residents an independent review of city finances. Residents can read the minutes to see exactly what the council adopted.

On June 2, 2026 the Mendota Heights City Council approved the schematic design for the Police Station and City Hall Municipal Campus Building Project and authorized proceeding with design development. The council did this by adopting Resolution No. 2026-37. Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt the resolution and Councilor Paper seconded. The minutes record the vote as 4 ayes and 1 nay, and name Councilor Maczko as the nay. Design development is the phase that turns the schematic design into more detailed plans. At the meeting, ICS presented a project budget estimate of $33,100,000 and said the cost to move from schematic design through detailed design would be about $400,000. Residents spoke both for and against holding a referendum on the project, and a resident provided a petition to the City Clerk.

Outcome: Adopted 4-1. The council adopted Resolution No. 2026-37 approving the schematic design for the Police Station and City Hall Municipal Campus Building Project and authorizing proceeding with the design development phase. Councilor Mazzitello moved, Councilor Paper seconded, and the minutes record Ayes: 4, Nays: 1 (Maczko). Source: June 2, 2026 City Council minutes (Meeting minutes, mendotaheightsmn.gov AgendaCenter, accessed 2026-07-07), signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk. The minutes name the sole nay but do not list a separate roll call of each aye by name.
What the source confirms
Source mh-min-0602: June 2, 2026 City Council minutes (mendotaheightsmn.gov AgendaCenter, Meeting minutes, accessed 2026-07-07). Confirms that Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt Resolution No. 2026-37 approving the schematic design for the Police Station and City Hall Municipal Campus Building Project and authorizing proceeding with design development, that Councilor Paper seconded, and that the recorded vote was Ayes: 4, Nays: 1 (Maczko). Also confirms that ICS presented a $33,100,000 budget estimate, that ICS stated the cost from schematic design through detailed design would be about $400,000, that $4,000,000 of state bonding was allocated for pre-design and design, that a resident provided a petition to the City Clerk, and that the council took no vote on holding a referendum. Source mh-campus-page: City of Mendota Heights Municipal Campus Building Project page (mendotaheightsmn.gov/550, Official city page, accessed 2026-06-29). Describes the same June 2, 2026 action as authorizing ICS to advance the project from schematic design to design development, and describes design development as further refining the details of the project.
Source limit: The minutes record the vote total as 4 ayes and 1 nay and name Councilor Maczko as the nay. They do not list a separate roll call naming each aye, so no aye vote is attributed to any individual member here. The adopted motion approves Resolution No. 2026-37 and authorizes proceeding with design development; the motion text recorded in the minutes does not name ICS, although the city project page describes the action as authorizing ICS to advance the project. The dollar figures are estimates presented by ICS and city staff at the meeting, not final or approved costs. The petition signature counts stated during public comment are residents' own statements; the minutes record that a petition was provided to the City Clerk but do not state a verified signature count. The minutes do not record a vote on whether to hold a referendum.
Why it may matter: The municipal campus project would build a new Police Department and City Hall. Advancing from schematic design to design development moves the project toward more detailed plans and cost estimates. Residents following city facilities and city spending may want to track the next design and funding decisions.

On June 2, 2026 the Mendota Heights City Council reviewed a Planned Unit Development amendment concept plan for 750 North Plaza Drive, an application by Indigo Signs. The city lists the item as Planning Case No. 2025-08. The Community Development Manager told the council it was being asked to review the concept plan and provide advisory comments and recommendations to the applicant. The minutes record no motion and no vote on this item. Council members discussed that the city has electronic message sign standards in some zoning districts but not in the Planned Unit Development district, and that a formal review would let the council place regulations and conditions on how a sign operates. The Mayor asked the applicant to take the Planning Commission's guidance into account when making a formal application.

A concept plan review is an early, advisory step and does not approve or deny anything.
What the source confirms
Source mh-min-0602: June 2, 2026 City Council minutes (mendotaheightsmn.gov AgendaCenter, Meeting minutes, accessed 2026-07-07). Confirms that the council took up the Planned Unit Development amendment concept plan review for 750 North Plaza Drive, an application of Indigo Signs (Planning Case No. 2025-08), that the Community Development Manager described the item as a request for advisory comments and recommendations to the applicant, and that no motion or vote was recorded. Confirms staff stated that electronic message sign regulations exist within different districts but that no such standards exist within the Planned Unit Development district, and that a formal review would allow the council to place regulations and conditions on the operation of the sign. Confirms the Mayor asked the applicant to take the Planning Commission's guidance into account in a formal application.
Source limit: No vote was taken, so no council position on the sign proposal is established and no individual member's view can be treated as a vote. Statements attributed to the property owner, including plans for a new tenant and an anticipated opening timeframe, are that person's own statements recorded in the minutes, not city findings. Council members' comments about sign lighting and shutoff times are their statements at the meeting, not a citation of the city code. The minutes do not record what a future formal application will contain or when it will be filed.
Why it may matter: Mendota Plaza is a commercial center near homes. Because the Planned Unit Development district has no electronic message sign standards, a formal application would be the point at which the council can set conditions on sign brightness, hours, and operation. Residents who want a say on that would follow the formal application rather than this concept review.

At its February 17, 2026 regular meeting, the Mendota Heights City Council approved Resolution 2026-16, transferring $10,000 in city funds to Independent School District 197 to support Community Food Support Operations. The transfer followed a February 17, 2026 work session at which city officials reported that households connected to the school district had been affected by ICE enforcement actions and needed food support. The City Attorney advised that transferring funds to a public corporation such as a school district is authorized under Minnesota Statutes section 471.85. The council discussed public-purpose requirements, guardrails, and how to ensure funds were used for the stated food-support need. Guardrails added to the resolution included written acceptance, lawful use, disbursement criteria, and notification to the city when funds were exhausted. The vote was 3 ayes, 1 nay, with Councilor Mazzitello recorded as voting no. Motion by Mayor Levine, second by Councilor Lorberbaum.
At a March 17, 2026 work session, the council discussed the Cities for Safe and Stable Communities Coalition as a separate follow-up item. Staff reported the coalition had shifted toward legislative advocacy after a drawdown of federal agents. Council consensus was not to join the coalition at that time. Staff would continue monitoring the coalition and related legislation. The March 17 item was a work session discussion only and was not a formal vote or resolution.

Source limit: The minutes confirm the council action, vote count, and recorded no vote. They do not confirm how funds were distributed by ISD 197 or whether the full $10,000 was spent. The minutes do not confirm individual council member positions beyond the recorded vote. The March 17 coalition discussion was a work session item only and does not represent a formal council vote or resolution. This item does not make any claim about the lawfulness or scope of federal enforcement activity.
Why it may matter: Households in the Mendota Heights area reported food-support needs following ICE enforcement activity. The council action transferred public funds to an existing public institution under state statutory authority allowing transfers to public corporations for public purposes. The 3-1 vote and the guardrails attached to the resolution reflect the council's deliberation about public-purpose limits and appropriate conditions for the transfer. Residents may want to know how the council evaluated those questions, who voted yes and no, and what conditions were attached.

How each member voted aye. The minutes give a vote total and name only the dissenting member on Resolution 2026-37, with no separate roll call of ayes by name. They do not establish final project cost, the outcome of state or federal funding requests, or whether a referendum will be held, and they record no vote on holding one. Dollar figures presented at the meeting are estimates from the construction manager and staff. Statements by residents and by the property owner during public comment are their own statements, not city findings.
