City Notices: Council Sessions, Tenant Protections, and Health Alerts for March 10

Official City Council and Commission Meetings

Today, Tuesday, March 10, 2026, the City of Minneapolis has scheduled several public meetings to address municipal business and local planning. Residents are invited to attend these sessions in person or monitor them through the city's official legislative information system.

• Business, Housing & Zoning Committee: This meeting will convene at 1:30 p.m. in Room 380 of City Hall. The committee is expected to review land use applications and housing policy developments.
• Heritage Preservation Commission: Scheduled for 4:30 p.m. in Room 350 of the Public Service Center (PSC), the commission will discuss the preservation of historic landmarks and district guidelines.

Housing Policy Update: Pre-Eviction Notice Extension

A significant update for Minneapolis renters and housing providers is currently unfolding. Following a 7-5 vote by the City Council last week, a new ordinance seeks to extend the mandatory pre-eviction notice period from 30 days to 60 days. This temporary measure is designed to support residents experiencing financial instability during the federal enforcement actions associated with Operation Metro Surge.

• If approved by Mayor Jacob Frey, the 60-day notification requirement for non-payment of rent will remain in effect until August 31, 2026.
• The ordinance aims to allow families additional time to secure rental assistance and avoid displacement.

Public Health Advisories and Recruitment

The Minneapolis Health Department has issued several active notices for the month of March, focusing on community health oversight and preventative care.

• Advisory Committee Recruitment: The Minneapolis Public Health Advisory Committee has opened a special recruiting cycle effective March 1. Community members are encouraged to apply by March 31 to help shape local responses to public health needs.
• Blood Pressure Monitoring Alert: Health officials have issued a local advisory urging residents to regularly monitor their blood pressure. This follows recent health data identifying hypertension as a leading risk factor in the Twin Cities metro area.

Election Notice: Township Voting

While municipal elections for the City of Minneapolis are not held today, residents in surrounding areas should be aware that Tuesday, March 10, is the official date for many township elections and annual meetings across Minnesota. Voters in participating jurisdictions are encouraged to check their local polling locations and meeting times.
