Minneapolis parks face a big funding crunch as the Park and Recreation Board seeks a 5.86% property tax hike to cover a $100M budget gap — but city staff are pushing for a smaller increase. Despite a clean audit for 2025 (their third straight), the board is eyeing new funding. Meanwhile, a groundbreaking 5-year tree research pact with the University of Minnesota kicks off, making Minneapolis the only cold-weather city in the study. The Operations and Environment committee also greenlit dedicated funding for youth employment programs, now running since 1986. And a major stormwater restoration project near Cedar Avenue is moving forward — part of a citywide effort to separate sewers and fight flooding.
