A
A
As
mentioned
or
I
should
say,
let
me
repeat
this
now
on
record
that
this
hearing
was
probably
pretty
straightforward.
So
we'll
go
straight
to
questions
with
my
Council
colleagues.
A
This
way
I
can
eliminate
my
own
from
my
list
and
hopefully
make
the
best
use
of
time
as
we
go.
If
they're.
If
you
have
any
opening
remarks,
counselor
Worrell,
you
have
the
floor.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
The
Piano.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
to
the
city
council.
It's
much
needed
repairs
and
a
lot
of
old
buildings,
so
I'm
just
excited
that
is
happening,
especially
in
some
of
the
schools
in
my
district,
but
you
know
the
Jeremiah
Anderson.
A
B
Then
okay
yep
just
excited
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
these
much
needed
repairs
to
these
old
buildings.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
Looking
forward
to
the
conversation.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
want
to
thank
all
the
panelists
for
being
with
us
today,
for,
as
my
Council
colleague,
councilor
Ralph
stated,
these
very
important
updates
and
upgrades
to
these
schools
as
a
city-wide,
City
councilor
I'm
excited
whenever
we're
upgrading
any
of
our
schools,
especially
as
a
student
who
went
to
some
of
these
schools
and
I
go
back
and
like
they're
still
in
the
same
condition
when
I
graduated,
and
so
we
got
a
lot
of
work.
We
got
to
do
so.
C
I
appreciate
this
and
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
what
we
have
in
the
pipeline.
We
obviously
know
with
covid
that
it's
really
important
that
we
are
paying
a
special
attention
to
our
HVAC
systems
in
our
schools.
So
I'm
I'm
excited
to
hear
from
you
all
about
that,
and
you
know
to
think
about
how
these
updates
and
these
upgrades
align
with
the
vision
that
the
mayor
has
set
forward
with
like
a
green
New
Deal
for
our
school.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
and
I.
Look
forward
to
questions.
A
D
It's
great
to
see
you
Kayla
I,
haven't
seen
you
since
you're
you're
a
great
award
from
youth
connect.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do
for
us
for
our
city
and
for
all
the
other
panelists
who
are
here.
I.
Think
I've
told
the
story
before
that
my
kindergarten
class
picture
from
the
Murphy
School
in
the
Library
St
was
in
1974
and
the
yellow
bookshelves
are
still
there.
So
we
definitely
need
improvements,
not
obviously
just
in
the
book
shelving,
but
also
when
I
was
at
the
Henderson
lower.
D
My
windows
were
nailed,
shut
right
and
I
would
clean
out
the
you
know:
HVAC,
sometimes
myself,
looking
for
someone's
favorite
pencil,
maybe
but
finding
a
lot
more
when
you
open
up
the
top
of
the
boiler,
the
heating
system.
So
just
happy
that
we're
here
and
like
the
chair
said
this
should
be
pretty
straightforward.
I
think
we're
all
on
board
making
sure
that
the
city
and
the
school
department
is
able
to
make
the
much
needed
repairs
to
our
schools
for
our
students.
They
deserve
it
and
our
parents
and
teachers.
A
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
Murphy
without
any
further
delay,
I'd
like
to
go
to
your
presentation
feel
free
to
introduce
yourselves
all
over
again.
As
you
know,
people
are
at
home,
listening
and
getting
acclimated
with
people
in
their
positions.
E
E
The
msba
is
the
state
Authority
that
oversees
public
construction
projects
throughout
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
mspa
is
a
reimbursement
agency
and
it
works
with
cities
and
towns
throughout
Massachusetts
to
create
affordable,
sustainable
and
energy.
Efficient
schools.
It's
funded
through
one
penny
of
the
Massachusetts
sales
tax.
E
The
estimated
cost
of
a
potential
project
has
to
be
over
250
thousand
dollars.
The
school
must
not
be
overcrowded
and
the
building
must
be
used
for
educational
purposes
to
support
buildings
like
the
bowling
building
or
the
Campbell
Resource
Center
are
not
eligible
for
projects
within
the
mspa
accelerator
repair
program.
E
E
E
E
E
Next
steps,
the
public
facilities
Department
in
Boston
Public
Schools,
would
like
to
request
the
council
appropriate
one
million
five
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
support
the
Zion
costs
associated
with
the
2022
accelerator
repair
projects
at
Five,
Boston
Public
Schools,
upon
appropriation
of
this
money.
The
msba
will
then
assign
an
owner's
project
manager
in
architect
to
design
the
scope
of
work
to
repair.
These
five
schools
design
will
start
in
the
winter
of
2023
throughout
the
summer,
in
construction
will
likely
be
the
summer
of
2024.
E
for
appropriation
votes.
The
mspa
two
votes
of
the
city
council
are
required
and
we
request
that
the
first
vote
happened.
This
Wednesday
in
the
second
vote,
two
weeks
later
after
December
14th
council
meeting
with
that,
if
there
are
any
questions,
we'd
gladly
answer
them
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
Sorry,
Mr
McLaughlin
I
I'd
like
to
go
to
my
console
colleagues.
First
for
your
questions,
counselor
for
all
you
have
before.
B
When
we're
replacing
the
roofs
of
these
buildings
are,
we
are
these
green
roofs
or
like
reflective
roofs,
I'm,
just
thinking
of
how
we're
taking
into
consideration
dealing
with
the
climate
when
we're,
when
we're
doing
some
of
these
repairs.
E
Yeah
we
work
with
the
design
team
to
bring
forward
the
most
fiscally
responsible
solution,
while
keeping
in
mind
the
environmental
impact
of
all
these
projects.
So,
yes,
that
is
definitely
something
that
we
keep
in
mind
when,
when
designing
the
solution
to
a
roof
that
needs
replacement.
B
Awesome
and
then
with
the
boiler
work
I
know
that
this
program
is
only
designed
to
work
for
with
the
boiler
inside
of
the
boiler
room,
but
is
there
any
complementary
work
you
know
to
upgrade
pipes
throughout
the
building?
If
you
know
to
to
kind
of
complement
the
work
that's
going
on
in
the
in
the
Boiler
Room.
E
So
if
there
is,
there
would
be
outside
of
the
of
this
collaborative
effort
with
the
mspa
right.
The
msba
limits
the
work
to
the
boiler
itself,
because
once
we
get
into
the
HVAC
systems,
the
projects
usually
expand
in,
obviously,
the
the
dollar
amount
and
value
of
the
of
the
projects
will
go
up
once
we
start
incorporating
HVAC
systems
into
a
any
school
project,
guys.
B
G
H
Only
the
only
thing
I
want
to
add
is
that
we
do
work
very
closely
with
PFD
on
any
additional
work
with
our
facilities
team
and
making
sure
that
we
add
and
requests
on
the
same
school.
If
there's
a
need
to
do
additional
work
or
whatever.
So
we
are
in
a
constant
communication
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
fixing
this
piece
of
the
building
right,
what
what
benefits
we
have
in
making
sure
that
we
stand
and
do
and
repair
all
across
the
building.
H
C
Castle,
where
I
was
doing
some
work,
because
I
actually
started
asking
the
questions
putting
in
work,
he
was
putting
in
work.
I
just
want
to
continue
along
that
line
of
questions,
particularly
around
the
HVAC
systems
in
our
school.
So
we're
replacing
these
boilers-
and
we
know
like
it's
just
about
the
boiler-
it's
not
about
the
other
work,
but
you
I
think
Superintendent
depina's
at
the
right
titles.
C
It's
that
you,
you
stated
led
me
to
believe
that
we
in
the
schools,
where
we
are
updating
the
boiler,
then
there
are
no
other
HVAC
problems
because
we
wouldn't
be
updating
the
boiler.
If
we
knew
about
sending
HVAC
issues,
is
that.
G
Not
quite
so,
let
me
just
be
a
little
better.
So
when
we're
replacing
boilers
and
if
we
need
to
make
additional
players
to
say
piping,
then
we
would
like
figure
out
if
that's
a
need.
We'd
cost
that
out
we'd.
Do
that
working
complement
of
this
ARP
project.
But
if
there's
an
HVAC
system
issue,
we'd
have
to
really
assess
it.
We
have
a
regular
maintenance
schedules
that
we
do
with
HVAC
systems
and
we
modify
them
and
upgrade
them
and
repair
them
as
we
need
to
so.
G
Overall
brand
new
HVAC
systems
go
into
buildings
where
there
is
new
construction.
So,
regardless,
if
there's
a,
if
there's
a
new
construction
building,
we
will
have
a
new
HVAC
system
installed
in
it
as
well
and
right
now,
what
we
do
as
far
as
the
HVAC
is
maintaining
the
systems
that
we
have
now
making
Necessary
repairs
that
we
have
now
make
sure
they're
all
functioning,
both
in
the
springtime
summer,
as
well
as
we'll
be
covering
it
over
here.
Around
now,.
C
C
H
You
haven't,
this
is
excellent,
first
start
because
it
does
help
us
with
funding
that
we
could
use
to
do
bigger
projects,
but
I
am
you're
going
to
hear
me
say
this
quite
often
is
that
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
finalize
in
the
facilities
condition
assessment
which,
as
a
completion
time
of
spring
of
2023
and
a
lot
of
these
questions,
we
will
be
able
to
answer
with
much
more
confidence
and
specificity
in
terms
of
where
we're.
G
C
A
C
End,
okay,
I-
and
we
asked
this
because
during
our
budget
hearings
and
as
new
city
councilors,
one
of
the
and
especially
during
the
pandemic,
we
heard
a
lot
from
parents
and
from
schools
and
students
about
HVAC
systems
in
our
schools,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
highlight
that
as
an
issue
that
we
hear
about
that,
a
lot
of
our
schools
need
need,
updated,
updated
systems,
and
so
I
also
just
want
to
highlight.
C
I
was
at
a
school
last
week,
binka
and
they
their
their
rooms,
were
so
they
were
too
warm
in
in
some
of
the
classrooms
that
they
had
to
open
the
window
and-
and
even
that
was
insufficient,
so
they
were.
They
had
ordered
air
conditioners
to
help
to
cool
the
room
down
because
it
was
so
hot.
Is
there
not
any?
What
else
can
we
do?
Is
there
not
a
better
way
to
manage
a
system
when
we
have
individual
rooms
in
our
school
buildings
that
are
that?
C
Are
that
are
too
warm
for
our
students
like
it
seems
to
me
that
we're
that
we're
wasting
resources
when
you
have
to
openly
we're
heating
the
building,
we're
heating
the
rooms
and
they
have
to
open
the
window.
Don't
and
that's
not
enough,
then
we're
paying
more
electricity
because
we're
popping
ACS
into
the
window
so
are
there
I
mean
what
do
we?
What
do
we
do
in
these
situations?
Yeah
I.
G
Mean
so
I
would
equate
it
into
that
by
saying
we
came
off
of
covid,
knowing
that
we
had
to
balance
both
internal
air
coming
to
the
building
and
keeping
the
building
warm.
While
we
increase
air
circulation
within
the
buildings
itself
right,
so
that's
going
to
continue
to
be
there
in
the
process
because
covert
hasn't
gone
away
in
unforcing,
some
of
our
rooms
do
to
heat
up
more
than
others.
They
some
are
cold.
G
But
the
cases
where
we
can
make
adjustments,
then
those
are
the
other
mitigation
options
open
up,
Windows,
more
closer,
more
make
sure
we
direct
the
heat
into
the
spaces
as
much
as
possible
and
unfortunately,
that's
what
we
do,
even
if
you
think
of
your
home,
like
in
my
house,
for
example,
if
my
why
he
gets
too
hot
I
have
to
open
up
the
window
before
cuckoo
back
down.
So
it's
just
that
play
that
we
have
to
do
you
know,
day
to
day.
H
I
just
wanted
and
that
and
as
as
you're
talking
I'm
taking
a
note
because
I'm
going
back
to
the
facilities
who,
from
that
mistaken
I'm
watching
us
right
now
and
making
sure
that,
if
there's
complaints
like
this,
where
the
temperature
is
too
high,
one,
the
IQ
is
going
to
detect
that.
And
then
we
have
an
entire
fac
team
that
will
go
on
side
of
league
b
and
make
sure
that
there
was
a
judgment
that
are
being
made.
But.
H
You
open
a
window
and
it's
still
too
hot,
then
we
will
definitely
have
someone
go
out
there
and
look
and
see
what
exactly
is
going
on.
What
is
the
issue
and,
as
we
know,
our
buildings
are
really
old,
so
like
managing
and
balancing
the
temperature
is
becoming
it's
becoming
a
bit
of
an
issue,
but
hair
is
like
this
is
when
I
get
excited,
because
that
means
that
we're
getting,
hopefully
we'll
get
it
approved
and
get
funding
towards
trying
to
address
some
of
these
issues
that
are
much
worse
for
that
matter.
H
I
know
we
have
a
bigger
plan
in
terms
of
long
term,
but
there's
some
need
that
we
need
to
do
issues
that
we
need
to
address
now
because
of
the
age
of
our
our
systems
and.
G
It's
we've.
We
during
covert,
we
try
to
set
it
I,
think
it
does.
That
comes
like
76
or
whatever
it
was,
and
then
as
we
needed
to
go
up
or
down
depending
on
the
Comfort
level
in
the
building.
But
we
try
to
at
the
very
minimum.
G
It
can't
be
colder
than
68
degrees
per
our
Collective
bargain
agreements
that
we
have
in
place,
but
we
try
to
make
sure
it's
warm
and
comfortable
72
and
then
we
crank
it
up
as
we
need
to
when
we
get
into
the
colder
months,
as
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
comfortable
with
the
air
circular
rehabilities.
So
it's
an
adjustment.
H
C
C
Thank
you
and
then
just
the
one
question
about
the
feasibility,
because
this
is
not
even
about
the
money
for
construction.
This
is
just
about
the
design
portion.
How
is
it
split?
Is
it
like
across
the
five
projects?
Is
it
split
evenly?
Is
it
one
like?
How
does
this
break
down?
Who
are,
who
are?
Who
are
we
Contracting
with?
Are
they
mbes
wbes
want
to
hear
more
about
like
the
actual
money
and
how
we're
using
it
and
who's,
getting
it
sure.
E
The
money,
the
1.5,
the
1
million
five
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars-
is
the
money
that
will
be
used.
So
we
have
to
show
mspa
that
we
have
this
money
in
hand.
They
do
their
own
procurement
for
the
OPM
and
Architects
and
they'll
randomly
assign
them
to
us.
So
we
don't
know
who
the
architect
or
the
OPM
will
be
as
of
yet
for
the
2022
Arps
that
will
come,
probably
maybe
late,
January
of
2023
and
we'll
we'll
then
we'll
begin
negotiations
with
the
OPM
and
architect
for
their
fees
associated
with
this
work.
E
So
the
life
of
the
mspa
project
is
two
Appropriations.
The
first
appropriation
is
to
bring
on
the
design
team,
they
design
the
project
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
this
body
with
the
total
project
cost
for
what
what
the
the
cost
is
for
the
roofs,
windows
and
boilers.
E
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that
thoughtful
presentation.
It
was
very
informative.
The
overview
was
just
wondering
why
the
orenberger
did
not
make
the
cut
sure.
E
So,
at
the
beginning
of
the
accelerator
repair
program
for
2022,
the
msba
opens
up
their
application
process,
and
this
year
they
received
so
many
applications
that
they
had
to
readjust
the
age
requirements
for
the
Building
Systems.
So
at
the
time
of
the
application,
the
age
requirement
for
the
orenberger
roof
was
25
years
old,
so
it
had
to
be
at
least
25
years
old.
Okay,
they
got
so
many
applications
this
year
that
they
readjusted
the
age.
So
the
minimum
age
is
30
years.
The
orenberger
roof
is
28
years
old.
E
E
Yes,
student
enrollment:
they
if
they
feel
that
if
a
student,
a
school
is
overcrowded,
it
speaks
to
bigger
issues
within
that
school
or
the
district.
That
would
result
in
a
larger
project.
D
That
makes
sense
and
knowing
that
we're
going
through
the
full
assessment
of
the
schools-
and
you
know
the
green
New
Deal
and
we're
talking
with
different
neighborhoods
and
schools
about
swing,
schools
and
merging
schools
and
closing
schools.
I
assume
you
I
mean
these
schools
aren't
on
any
of
those
lists
yet,
but
once
money
is
assigned
knowing
that
it's
you
know
two
years
away
till
construction
if
it
ends
up
being
the
school.
D
What's
the
pro
that
gets
closed
or
merged
because
I
know
in
the
past,
like
we
did
the
outdoor
playgrounds
or
we
did,
you
know,
play
structures
and
then
a
school
closed,
and
you
wanted
to
like
take
the
play
structure
like.
Can
we
send
it
to
another
school
the
school's
closed?
Now?
Is
there
plans,
or
has
that
happened
yet
to
you
where
you've
invested
in
money
through
this
process,
this
funding
and
then
the
school
ended
up,
merging
or
closing
nothing.
E
Where
from
the
schools
on
the
list,
the
msba
does
have
a
a
claw
back
option
if
they
participate
in
a
school
and
a
future
project,
whether
a
school
closes
or
a
future
project
impacts
their
investment
to
a
roof
window,
a
boiler.
They
could
take
back
some
of
the
money
if
they
felt
that
it
would
that
it
was
if
it
impacted
their
investment
and.
D
E
So
this
is
a
collaborative
effort
with
the
Boston
Public
Schools
facilities
team
to
identify
schools
that
not
only
have
aging
systems
but
also
fall
within
the
requirements
of
the
ARP
program.
So
it's
it's
twofold
identity,
identifying
schools
that
need,
but
if
they
also
a
potential
candidates
that
meet
the
requirements
for
accelerator
repair
program,
so
it's
it's
District
level.
D
And
many
schools
need
lots
of
things,
not
just
say
a
roof.
I'm
thinking
is
it
ever
then
held
against
a
school
or
like
well,
you
just
got
a
new
roof.
I
know
now
for
accreditation.
Burke
I
may
need
a
library
like
those
lists
are
kept
separate
right.
There's
not
conversation
about.
Well,
you
already
got
this.
No,
you
make
sure
it's
Case
by
case.
H
H
D
Just
make
it
and
lastly,
it
was
brought
up
about
the
temperature
in
the
buildings.
I,
unfortunately
always
worked
at
schools
where
it's
central
control
did
every
room
was
the
same.
You
didn't
have
that
ability
to
adjust
in
your
classroom,
but
I
have
been
at
many
schools
since
elected,
and
many
of
them
already
got
new
windows,
but
then
the
thousands
of
AC
window
units
had
been
like
Windows
that
were
just
millions
of
dollars
spent
to
put
in,
and
then
they
were
cut
out
to
fit.
Ac
units
yeah,
like
I,
know
one
school.
D
G
It's
a
great
question:
I
think.
The
way
we
look
at
it
is
that
we
spent
about
to
the
two
to
about
seven
million
dollars
total
in
making
sure
that
every
window
in
every
school
was
operable
and
working,
and
we
thought
that
that
was
a
great
investment,
because
it
was
long
overdue.
So,
to
your
point
earlier
and
I
remember,
when
I
was
a
teacher,
I
couldn't
open
some
of
my
windows
when
I
was
a
teacher
as
well
and
being
able
to
do
that
now
and
increasing
the
airflow
in
the
building
was
just
equally
important.
G
We
also
found
just
giving
the
feedback
that
we
heard
from
the
community
and
our
stakeholders
around
no
AC
options
in
this
hotter
summer
months
and
spring
months.
We
found
it
equally
important
to
make
this
additional
investment
to
the
ACs
and
I
think
it's
complementary,
because
although
we
hold
off
one
window
per
classroom
to
get
that
air
in
there,
it's
a
good
trade-off
to
get
natural,
as
well
as
the
air
conditioner
in
City
Schools.
D
A
A
Thank
you,
Council
Murphy,
you
describe
the
work,
for
that
is
most
likely
to
be
done
as
a
result.
That
includes
boilers,
roofs,
windows
and
doors.
Would
you
say
that
there
are
more
pressing
issues?
That's
not
on
the
list.
G
This
particular
phase,
yes,
but
we'll
know
more.
You
know,
as
as
we
get
the
the
design
estimates
in
from
the
designers
and
the
projects.
A
Certain
schools
have
had
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
put
into
them,
while
some
remain
and
I
think
to
counselor
Murphy's
Point.
What
to
basically
with
basic
repairs
like
still
a
need
and
I
understand
that
this
program
drives
a
scope
of
work.
But
how
does
it?
How
do
schools
get
prioritized
in
terms
of
who's?
First.
H
And
I'll
have
Dr
depina
go
into
this
as
well,
but
we
definitely
go
through
I
have
to
get
you
sick.
H
We
we
definitely
go
through
a
priority
lesson
and
work
with
all
of
our
partners
in
addressing
the
issues.
H
This
is
just
one
portion
of
the
work
that
we're
doing,
but
we
do
have
the
facilities
seen
that'll
work
on
a
constant
basis
in
other
initiative
across
the
district,
where
we're
asking
for
funding
on
a
regular
basis,
while
we're
doing
this
on
one
side,
you'll
be
hearing
about
us
on
the
other
end
of
things
where
we're
asking
for
funding
for
for
our
capital
projects,
we're
asking
for
to
increase
an
operation
operational
budgets
for
all
of
the
other
work
that
the
facilities
team
is
doing,
we're
increasing
in
terms
of
capacity
with
our
internal
team,
so
that
we
can
address
all
those
not
just
the
day-to-day
but
some
of
the
other
bigger
projects
within
the
district,
but
and
not
just
with
the
FCA.
H
In
terms
of
waiting
for
that,
as
we're
waiting
for
that,
we're
hoping
for
this
to
be
approval.
We're
still
moving
forward
with
projects
in
general
to
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
across
the
district.
We
do
know
that
there
are
some
buildings
that
are
beautiful,
how
they're
like
the
vaa
and
where
we're
hoping
that
we
could
do
that
across
the
district.
But
there
are
things
that
we
have
to
address
in
the
short
term
and
long
term
as
well
and
I
hope.
I'm
answering
the
question
that
you
just
asked.
A
To
that
point
last
budget
season
or
the
most
recent
you
mentioned,
that
there
was
some
sort
of
dashboard,
because
it
was
going
to
be
a
full
study
to
assess
all
of
the
schools
in
need
and
their
needs
and
that
you
would
actually
make
that
public.
H
Right
now,
in
the
renew
deal
for
BPS
that
website
there
is
the
internal
dashboard.
Is
there
right
now
that
people
could
go
in
and
look
at
it,
and
you
will
see
some
of
the
basic
work
that
we've
done
internally,
but
for
the
facilities
condition
assessment.
We
are
working
with
Bureau
Veritas,
which
is
the
vendor,
who
is
literally
going
into
every
single
one
of
our
buildings
and
go
in
classroom
by
classroom
system
by
system
and
doing
an
assessment.
G
H
It
will
be
complied
with
our
current
asset,
essential
system,
which
is
what
the
system
that
the
database
that
our
school
is
going
to
use
to
submit
complaining
so
submit
requests.
And
what
have
you
all
of
that
information
is
going
to
come
together
in
one
place
so
that
people
could
see
what
is
what
are
the
repairs
that
we're
doing?
What
are
some
of
the
complaints?
What
are
some
of
the
future
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
so
that
also
my
fingers
here
to
make
sure
that
this
is
completed.
A
Great,
when,
once
you
make
that
public
I
guess
as
a
parent
I'm,
not
a
BPS
parent,
but
what
a
BPS
parent
actually
be
able
to
compare
side
by
side
who's
getting
what
and
so
sort
of
a
timeline
as
to
where
you
are
in
construction
or
design
or
planning.
A
H
A
A
E
When
the
msba
assigns
the
OPM
and
architect
for
these
particular
projects
in
this
program
will
work
with
them
to
identify
who
they
are
using
as
their
subcontractors
and
then
the
one
thing
that
we
can
have
more
of
a
control
on.
If
you
will
is
when
we,
when
these
bid
these
projects
and
bring
on
the
contractors,
we
can
make
sure
we
notify
and
make
sure
it's
available
to
all
contractors
that
we've
worked
with
in
the
past
MBE
wbe
contractors.
E
So
we
have
established
relationship
with
contractors
that
have
done
a
lot
of
work
for
us
various
City
projects,
so
we
can
notify
them
that
these
these
projects
are
going
out
to
bid
probably
spring
of
2024.
A
Thank
you
I
like
to
acknowledge
that
councilor
Braden
has
joined
us
and
I.
Guess
you,
you
keep
us
updated
in
terms
of
that,
I
mean
you
mentioned.
E
E
E
They
notify
us
once
that
we've
notified
them
that
we've
appropriated
the
money
to
bring
on
the
consultant
team
of
the
owners,
project,
manager
and
architect,
then
they'll
they'll
randomly
select
them
and
assign
them
to
to
the
city
of
Boston
or
City
of
Quincy.
So
we
don't
have
any
true
oversight
relative
to
the
procurement
of
these
of
the
consultant
team
for
just
the
accelerator
repair
program
projects,
but.
E
A
So
I'll
skip
that
I'll
Reserve,
my
remaining
questions,
that's
redundant
and
then
come
back.
I
only
have
like
a
couple
of
questions
left
counselor
Laurel
I
like
to
go
to
a
second
round.
If
you
have
any
questions,
if
not,
we
can
go
to
Just.
I
Chair
I'm,
sorry
I
had
another
meeting
in
the
double
double
double
header
here:
I'm,
going
to
review
the
the
tape
of
the
presentation
so
far,
one
question
I
had
was
with
regard
to
the
the
handout
on.
Well,
it's
maybe
not
in
your
do.
We
know
how
long
the
the
mspa
MS,
what
is
it
msba,
are
suspending
their
their
funding
like
do
we
is
it
a
timeline.
E
E
I
And
I'm
just
reading-
and
this
came
up-
and
this
is
Carrie's
Carrie
Griffin
memorandum
here-
about
the
ARP
program
requirements
and
the
school-
the
building
must
be
used
for
educational
purposes
and
I.
Think
one
thing
that
came
up
last
year
when
we
did
the
Harris
Mann
application
was
some
question
about
educational
purposes,
because
the
building
was
used
for
it's
called
as
a
co-location,
whether
it
be
a
bpsa
bcyf.
I
E
Particularly
it's
more
aligned
with
it
wouldn't
participate
in
projects
for
the
bowling
building
or
the
Campbell
resource
center,
but
it's
definitely
I'm
trying
to
think
of
some
of
the
schools
that
we
that
have
had
projects
that
also
have
co-located
community
centers.
F
E
G
I
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
mean
I,
guess
the
award
itself
visibility
study,
like
all
the
term,
is
interesting
right,
so
we
as
we
move
forward,
we
think
about
what's
feasible
and
giving
it
a
whole
new,
meaning,
I,
guess
just
making
it
uniform
across
the
board
and
ensuring
that
all
communities-
all
just
all
schools,
irrespective
of
where
the
location
is,
is
getting
the
same
type
of
facilities
and
and
I.
A
Think
that
you
know
this
team
here
is
constantly
trying
to
reassure
us
of
that,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
and
we've
I've
been
visiting
some
of
the
schools,
even
the
ones,
not
in
my
district
specifically,
and
you
guys
know
which
ones
I'm
I'm
visiting,
but
specifically
to
make
that
sort
of
my
own
I
guess
rubric
of
who
needs
what
right
and
what?
How
are
they
functioning
without
a
library
or
how
they're
functioning
without
a
gym
or
even
a
Mobility
access?
A
There
are
some
schools
with
those
issues
as
well,
so
would
like
to
continue
to
work
with
you
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
If
there
are
no
other
comments
or
questions
from
my
console
colleagues,
we
look
forward
to
more
I,
guess,
reporting
and
updates
on
this,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
