Some agenda items of interest:
–Three Resolutions Approving Three (3) Year Contract Extensions with Three Different Catering Companies (Chowgirls, Three Sons and Cosettas) for Catering Services to be Performed at Columbia Manor, Theodore Wirth Fireplace Room and Cowles Conservatory at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden through December 31, 2016

Also of interest and now available to the commissioners and the public are the monthly reports that Superintendent Miller has initiated for construction permits and for Planning Department projects. The availability of these reports is one of the important changes instituted by Superintendent Miller. They are normally in the agenda packet for the first regular meeting of the month.
