Council signs off on revised plans and bond reimbursement intent for Minnetonka Community Center overhaul
Summary
Council approved revised plans and declared official intent to reimburse certain expenditures from bond proceeds for the Minnetonka Community Center project (Project No. 27210). The project includes HVAC and ADA upgrades, accessibility improvements and an estimated six‑month closure with an estimated rental revenue loss of about $40,000–$45,000.
City staff presented a two‑part action on the Minnetonka Community Center: authorization to prepare revised plans and specifications for a major renovation (Project No. 27210) and a resolution declaring the city’s intent to reimburse certain project expenditures from proceeds of general obligation bonds expected in 2027. Mr. Manchester described upgrades to dining rooms, meeting spaces, restrooms, HVAC and accessibility, and noted the facility’s original construction was in 1986.
Facilities staff estimated rental revenue loss during a projected six‑month closure would be approximately $40,000–$45,000, though some events may relocate to other city facilities. Council members asked staff to explore energy‑efficient strategies including geothermal and solar as the design advances. The council adopted the resolutions and directed staff to bring refined plans and budget details back to council.
