August 27, 2026 Minneapolis City Council

The Minneapolis City Council convened on August 27, 2026, addressing a variety of community and administrative matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of multiple liquor and gambling license renewals, acceptance of a gift from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and authorization of contract amendments for vegetation management, lead service line replacements, bridge rehabilitation projects, and graffiti abatement services. The council also approved a contract amendment with Axon Enterprise for additional body-worn cameras, digital video storage, and related equipment, supported by a grant from Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department. Additionally, the council discussed amendments to the Capital Long Range Improvement Committee ordinance, maintaining it as a tier 2 body with revised membership, and emphasized the need for further engagement with the committee and council members before finalizing changes. Several ordinances were introduced, including those related to commercial leases and energy disclosure repeal. The meeting also featured resolutions recognizing community events and initiatives, but no direct votes on large-scale capital projects or new procurement contracts were recorded beyond those mentioned.
