City Council Meeting - April 7, 2026

The City Council meeting of Eden Prairie on April 7, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The council accepted a significant anonymous donation of $50,000 to support an arts internship program at the Eden Prairie Art Center, as well as multiple smaller donations totaling $4,275 to parks and recreation programs.

The council also approved a resolution supporting a state grant application for a business expected to bring 450 jobs to the city. Additionally, the council reviewed and approved payment of claims and conducted a positive performance and salary review for the city manager.
