Description

Shall the City of Edina be authorized to impose a one-half of one percent (0.5%) sales and use tax for up to 19 years for $21.6 million in improvements at Braemar Park and Arena and associated bonding costs? By voting “yes” on this question you are voting to increase the sales tax in Edina to pay for new trails for walking, hiking, biking and winter use, a new playground, Courtney Field infrastructure improvements including upgraded lighting, spectator safety and seating, pickleball courts and platform tennis, natural resource stewardship and invasive species control, infrastructure repairs and accessibility improvements at Braemar Arena, as described in the adopted Braemar Park Master Plan. If one or both of the questions are approved by a majority of voters, the City of Edina is only authorized to impose a single one-half of one percent (0.5%) sales and use tax increase for a maximum of 19 years or until enough sales tax revenue has been raised to pay for the costs of one or both projects.
