The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) was created under enabling legislation in 1967. The District is governed by a Board of Directors composed of one member appointed by the City Councils of the 14 cities surrounding Lake Minnetonka. These cities include Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Minnetonka, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Victoria, Wayzata, and Woodland. In general, the Board reviews various license application requests, considers studies of lake issues, takes measures to control Eurasian Watermilfoil and other exotic species, and considers other related lake-management issues. License applications reviewed by the Board include Special Event Permit; Multiple Docks; District Mooring Areas; Deicing; Charter Boats; and Beer, Wine, and Liquor approvals for related charter boats.
