    Manhattan City Commissioners signed off Tuesday night on a change order that will add 500-thousand dollars to the total paid for construction of the new parking garage in Aggieville.

    A fire suppression system is mandated for buildings four stories or taller, according to Deputy City Manager Jason Hilgers.

    Hilgers told commissioners Tuesday night that it was an “unforced error” by city staff.

    But, commissioner Mark Hatesohl was critical of the late change

    The 450 spot garage is scheduled to open next spring, having cost more than 14 million dollars to build.
