The Administration & Enterprise Oversight Committee approved a nine-item consent agenda and moved several items for consideration at the full City Council.
The consent agenda included: a bid for Newton Avenue sanitary sewer reconstruction; a convention center dish machine and prep table replacement project; a contract with Ameri National Community Services LLC for loan portfolio management and loan development services; a contract with ABM Equipment LLC for refuse packer bodies and timber assemblies; master contracts establishing an executive recruitment services pool; master contracts for a 2026–2029 Public Works consulting pool; a contract amendment with Kimley Horn & Associates Inc. for Hennepin Ave South Street reconstruction design services; a contract amendment with Fairview Health Services for Reach Food Resource Navigator services; and an enterprise risk management ordinance.
