Key business actions included the approval of the proposed 2027 tax levy and budget, which involved adjustments to police and fire department budget reductions. Additionally, the council approved the HRA/EDA tax levy, performed a first reading of an ordinance regarding electric franchise fees, and discussed the status of a purchase agreement with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.

The commission held a public hearing regarding a conditional use permit application for a short-term rental at 125 Oakwood Rd, resulting in a recommendation to the City Council for approval. Another public hearing regarding a variance application for 517 Hiawatha Ave was held, after which the commission opted to table the item for further evaluation. Additionally, the commission engaged in a discussion concerning regulatory tools for short-term rental policies, with plans to revisit this topic at a future meeting.
The council approved the consent agenda, which included an ownership, operations, and maintenance agreement for the Green Line Extension Light Rail Transit Project, amendments to a temporary easement agreement with Hopkins Public Schools, an amendment to the Summit Condominium Association Development Agreement, and liquor licenses for Nachos Mexican Grill LLC.
