Now that Gov. Mark Dayton has signed the $975 million Minnesota Vikings stadium bill, it's the Minneapolis City Council's turn to get the ball. In April, seven of the 13 council members endorsed the stadium, and proponents hope that support will hold firm when the council again takes up the issue this month. But the bill -- signed Monday at a ceremony in the Capitol rotunda -- has changed since the council last saw it.
Minneapolis City Council members voted 7-6 in a decision to back the Vikings stadium funding plan, which is moving through the legislature. $675 million in city generated taxes will be retained through 2046 to fund the stadium.
Never mind the Legislature, Mayor R.T. Rybak may not be able to get his stadium proposal past Minneapolis' city council. Council members were underwhelmed by the mayor's presentation of a plan that would apply city sales tax money to a Vikings stadium once Minneapolis' convention center is paid off. A head count by the Downtown Journal finds Rybak lacks the votes to pass it right now.
Minneapolis' city council will vote this week on whether to approve the Vikings stadium plan that state lawmakers approved this month. Council member Gary Schiff says the vote will have a one vote margin. But whether it's for or against the stadium is not clear. Schiff says he'll vote against it. He wants to send the plan back to the Legislature to come up with a deal that's better for Minneapolis.
Seven of the thirteen council members say they would not support the plan to raise more than $300 million for a Vikings stadium unless it was approved by voters. Mayor R.T. Rybak says there won't be a referendum and he thinks some council members may still change their thinking.
The Ways and Means committee is set to meet Monday afternoon to discuss the city's share of the stadium measure Gov. Mark Dayton signed into law last week. The full council is expected to take a formal vote on the nearly $1 billion proposal on Friday.
With the Metrodome lease expiring at the end of the season, the Vikings have agreed to meet with Minneapolis officials to discuss building a stadium in the city. The Vikings, although willing to talk, remain dedicated to building in Ramsey County.
