Minnetonka board approves purchase of property adjacent to high school
Summary
The Minnetonka School Board approved acquisition of 18407 Delton Avenue for $365,000 plus up to $5,000 in cleanup costs; district plans to take possession April 30 and add roughly 20–22 parking spaces.
The Minnetonka School Board on Feb. 20 approved the district's purchase of 18407 Delton Avenue, a parcel adjacent to Minnetonka High School, for $365,000 plus up to $5,000 for site and home cleanup.
The purchase was presented by Paul Bourgeois, executive director of finance and operations, who told the board the district negotiated the price after the owner decided to sell. Bourgeois said the district expects to take possession on April 30 to give the owner time to relocate and then begin site clearing and work to add about 20 to 22 parking spaces.
The board conducted a voice vote after a motion and second; the chair called the motion passed. Board members moved directly from that agenda item into the study session.
No other formal conditions or contingencies were recorded in the meeting transcript. The district indicated the immediate objective is site cleanup and construction of additional parking to address limited on-site parking near the high school.
The board did not attach a timeline for construction beyond the possession date, nor did it identify specific funding sources for the purchase beyond the negotiated purchase price.
