A mayor who listens.
Serving as your mayor has been an honor. It’s been nearly six busy years, and there’s still plenty of work to do, like keeping city services running well and making sure our police department and city operations are on solid footing for years to come.
I’ve been proud to work with residents, city staff, and the council along the way. When this community pulls together, we get a lot done.
Thank you for your trust.
The Municipal Campus: why we’re building, and what it costs
The Police Department and City Hall face real deficiencies in space, safety, and security. Here’s how the Council reached its decision, and what it means for residents.
78%
Renovation ruled out
Renovating would cost about 78% of new construction, above the 60–70% threshold where municipal guidance favors building new.
5-0
Unanimous Council Vote
In December 2025, the Council voted unanimously for a new building. After more community input, the project was scaled back to “new building, future ready.”
$4M
State grant secured
One of the only Minnesota cities to receive this funding. Pausing or stopping the project would forfeit it. An additional $800K in federal funding is pending.
~$1/day
For a median-value home
The anticipated cost over 20 years, a conservative estimate that’s expected to come down as financing is finalized.
Meet Stephanie
Rooted in Mendota Heights for 34 years
Stephanie grew up just across the river in St. Paul. Her first visit to Mendota Heights was a sleepover at a friend’s house when she was 10, in the same home she and her husband Jimmy would later buy to raise their family.
Their three children are proud Two Rivers (formerly Henry Sibley) graduates, and the family has been part of Mendota Heights athletics and Parks & Recreation programs for years.
