It is an honor and joy to serve as your mayor! While these past (almost) 6 years have been a whirlwind of activity, there is so much more to do. Among other things, we must continue to provide effective and efficient public services and secure the future of our Mendota Heights Police Department and city functions for future generations.
Working in partnership with residents, city leadership and staff, I have dedicated myself to our city at a crucial time. Our vibrant community provides us with countless opportunities and when we work together, we do amazing things.
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.
