MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 27, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Dankey had nothing to report. Seals noted the beginning of the school year is almost here and summer is unfortunately coming to a close, but that Leonard Skynard performed on Lake Minnetonka a few weeks ago, which was a lot of fun. Crosby recognized the passing of Senator John McCain and his service to the country. Printup encouraged everyone to drive careful with the students going back to school. Walsh commented the upgrades to Old Crystal Bay Road will be great and should be ready for the start of school.

The pictures from the visit have been posted on the Facebook site. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Rief reported Staff has been busy working on the 2019 budget and that it should be ready to be formally presented to the City Council in the next month or two.
