Mission Statement
The City of Lakeville provides the foundation for healthy neighborhoods and successful businesses by investing in comprehensive planning, high-quality and efficient services, citizen participation, and effective partnerships.
Envision Lakeville
In 2013 the Lakeville City Council initiated a citywide visioning process called Envision Lakeville (PDF). The purpose of the visioning process was to bring people together to share opinions and ideas about what they "envision" for the future of Lakeville. The process included input from residential, commercial, and industrial property owners as well as governmental and non-governmental organizations and a task force of community members appointed by the City Council.
For more information, visit the Envision Lakeville webpage.
2021 Legislative Priorities
As the 2021 Minnesota State Legislature gets underway, there will be many legislative initiatives and bills considered. The adoption of legislative priorities is intended to portray the City's positions on a variety of issues and to communicate to our residents, legislators, county and state officials, lobbying organizations and other interested parties Lakeville’s position on a variety of significant legislative topics. The document has been reformatted and the legislative priorities updated to focus on the most important issues facing the City that have the greatest chance of receiving attention during the legislative year. These issues include:- Economic Development & Revitalization
- State Mandates on Local Authority
- County Road 50/Interstate 35 Interchange Capacity
- Absentee Voting
- Storage of Railroad Cars Within Urban Residential Areas
Review the complete report of the City of Lakeville's 2021 Legislative Priorities (PDF) as adopted at the January 19, 2021 City Council meeting. If you have any questions regarding the legislative priorities, contact the City of Lakeville Administration Department at 952-985-4403.
