Incumbents will return to the helm for the city of Minnetonka. Terry Schneider will return as mayor of Minnetonka. Dick Allendorf will return to his At Large Seat A, and Patty Acomb will keep her At Large Seat B.
Three Minnetonka School Board members were elected. Out of four candidates, voters were asked to choose three. Pam Langseth, John Holcomb and Heidi Garcia will each take 4-year seats on the board. Langseth and Holcomb currently serve on the board.
Both of Hopkins Public Schools’ levy requests passed with comfortable margins.
A request to revoke the existing operating levy that is used for school programming and replace it with a newer one that brings in more money won by a solid 18.98 percentage point margin.
A capital projects levy, which will bring in about $1.75 million per year for 10 years, passed by a similar margin.
Residents around the Hopkins school district worried about a School Board takeover from candidates who wanted to let a portion of Edina leave the districts, but candidates opposed to the idea won handily.
Two of the winning candidates, Betsy Scheurer Anderson and Warren Goodroad, were incumbents. The third, Michael Doobie Kurus, is a former member of the Hopkins Legislative Action Coalition and several other district committees, as well as an active member of the Early Childhood Parent Advisory Council and the Eisenhower PTO.
