The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is confronting a significant budget shortfall, potentially leading to 26 employee layoffs and service reductions. Mayor Jacob Frey's proposed budget offers less funding than the board's request, creating a $3.2 million gap. This funding difference could impact the operational capacity of recreation centers and park development projects. The Board of Estimate and Taxation will decide the final residential tax levy, influencing the park board's allocation. This year's budget proposal marks the largest funding gap in five years.
