Two Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board officers announced their resignation Friday. The announcement follows criticism over racial inequity on the board from black community members last spring.
Board President Liz Wielinski and Vice President Scott Vreeland will step down at a board meeting next Wednesday, but said they plan to maintain their board seats, according to letters the pair sent out on Friday.
While Vreeland didn’t state a reason for his resignation in the letter, Wielinkski cited health concerns.
