A HEADS UP FOR THE MARCH 19, 2008 PARK BOARD MEETING
Some highlights:
5:00 P.M. REGULAR BOARD MEETING. The full Board will be approving the schematic design for East River Parkway and the 2008 golf rates.
The Board will also be voting to accept bids totaling $150,000 for fertilizers and another $150,000 for "plant protectants."
5:30 P.M. OPEN TIME. Because this is Sunshine Week, there will be at least one speaker honoring this annual national initiative.
6:00 P.M. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. There are three study/report items scheduled for a total allotted time of one hour and forty-five minutes; but cable viewers will not be privy to these discussions, because the Park Board is not televising them. For more information about what you will be missing if you are not able to attend the meeting, please refer to Liz's comments also on Park Watch under "Park Board Retreats From Transparency During Sunshine Week."
Only the Regular Board meeting will be broadcast live on cable channel 14 beginning at 5:00 P.M.
The complete agenda is usually available Monday or Tuesday on the Park Board's website www.minneapolisparks.org
