National Gun Violence Awareness Month: Project 2020

Mendota Heights officers wear commemorative patches each year in the month of June, in honor of National Gun Violence Awareness Month. It's part of an initiative to bring attention to this public safety issue, and equip officers with the means to keep their Department-issued firearms safely stored at home. Now, there's a new way you can help support this effort!

Firefighter Recruits Graduate

Three firefighter recruits, hired by the City in August 2024, have now graduated from the Department's fire academy training program. Next up, they will complete required field training before they are sworn in as members of the Mendota Heights Fire Department in August.

Pictured at Front, L to R: Firefighter Recruits Pete Johnson, Joe Fabiano and Brandon Rebhan.

Congratulations and thank you for your commitment!

Park System Master Plan Draft Available for Public Comment

Early in 2024, the City began work on a 15-year park system master plan. Now, after 16 months of research and community engagement, a final draft of the 2040 Park System Master Plan is available for the community to review.
