Session 1771 December 20, 1999 BOARDS AND COMMISSION REPORTS: Mr. Wagner, liaison to the Plan Commission, said the single item discussed at the last meeting dealt with resubdividing the North & South plat for some slight modification - no great change. It was approved unanimously by the Plan Commission. Mr. Munkel, liaison to the Library Board, said that the Board met on December 8. They discussed the Library's feeling that they are not getting enough coverage in CityScape. They also voted on a bid for an infrastructure upgrade which has to do with recabling the library for up to forty computers. The bid went to Wellington Environmental. Ms. Colquitt, liaison to CALOP, said they met on December 15 and held five interviews. They continued their discussion and plans for the Academy Awards that is scheduled for January.
