Civic Committee
The Civic Committee works to promote communication and build community among all the residents of Minnetonka Beach. The committee holds meetings nearly monthly and plan a variety of creative social events for residents throughout the year. Annual resident $75.00 (or more which is optional) dues fund the event expenses. They oversee the Junior Civic Committee with City and community engagement initiatives. Civic also sells Minnetonka Beach merchandise at the City Hall lobby and at some events, and cover the printing expense of the annual Minnetonka Beach Resident Directory that City Staff produces in-house.
The community is truly appreciative and thankful for these volunteers and their hard work
