Minnetonka DEI Commission meets to review progress on diversity initiatives

The Minnetonka City Council's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission gathered on June 9 to discuss ongoing projects and programs aimed at making city government and services more inclusive. The meeting included updates from commission members on their work and a staff report on current initiatives.

Meeting date: Jun 9, 2026
Published Jul 24, 2026

The DEI Commission held its meeting at the Community Center in the Minnehaha Room, located at 14600 Minnetonka Blvd. The agenda focused on three main items: a staff report summarizing current projects and programs, updates from commission members about their diversity and inclusion work, and general business items for discussion.

The commission reviewed and approved minutes from its May 5, 2026 meeting. Commission members shared updates on their activities and progress related to the city's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, though specific details about those updates were not documented in the meeting materials.

City staff presented a summary of ongoing projects and programs being undertaken by Minnetonka. This report was intended to keep commission members informed about the city's current work in this area.

The meeting provided an opportunity for the commission to coordinate efforts and discuss any new business that needed attention. The DEI Commission serves as an advisory body to help the city government examine its policies, programs, and practices through a lens of diversity and inclusion.
