The Minnetonka City Council is scheduled to hold a total of eleven study sessions in 2026. To maximize study session meetings, provide staff direction and focus on council priorities, council members ranked specific topics they expressed interest to review. At the Dec.15, 2025 and Dec. 22, 2025 study sessions the city council reviewed these rankings, discussed priorities and provided direction to staff.
