Documenters report: Minneapolis park board prepares case for property tax increase

The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board voted to decommission the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park by December 31, citing discussions with Indigenous leaders about the site's cultural significance. The board will advocate for a higher property tax increase to cover 2027 budget costs, as the city's proposed rate would create a $3.3 million gap. A land swap near Theodore Wirth Park was approved to improve space for an Animal Humane Society redevelopment.
