Shouldn't
to

the
minutes.
Second,
all
in
favor
I
think
you've
noted
for
the
record.
The
August
17th
2017
meeting
minutes
for
the
city
of
Boston's
Public
Works
Department
are
hereby
approved
beginning
this
morning
with
the
public
facilities
department.
We
have
before
the
commissioners
two
votes.
The
votes
are
related
to
the
same
project
and
they're
being
presented
by
James

a
senior
project
manager

the
public
facilities
Department.
A
B
They
offer
access
to
a
college
preparatory
arts
and
academic
education
to
a
diverse
student
body
of
four
hundred
and
sixty
in
grades
nine
through
twelve
operating
with
the
Faculty

45
and
a
staff
of

programs
in
dance,
music,
theater
design
and
visual
communications

fashion
technology
supported
by
a
strong
academic
and
steam
program.
B
Perkins
Eastman's
original
scope
was
for
feasibility
and
schematic
design
surfaces
only
and
did
not
address
the
possibility
of
a
temporary
facility
or
swing
spaces.
Determination
of
that
need
had
not
been
made.
It
was
unknown
at
the
time
whether
the
project
would
be
a
renovation
addition,
new
construction
on
the
existing
or
a
new
site
at
their
June
28th
2017
board
meeting
the
MSBA
confirmed
the
decision
to
construct
a
new
facility
on
the
existing
site
and
invited
the
city
to
proceed
into
schematic
design.
B
Subsequently,
Perkins
Eastman
has
developed
feasibility
concepts
to
accommodate
the
Boston
Arts
Academy
at
the
Grove
and
Grover
Cleveland
School
in
fields
corner.
The
intent
is
for
the
BAA
to
occupy
the
space
from
September
2018
until
August
2021,
subject
to
today's
vote.
Perkins
Eastman
is
ready
to
proceed
with
the
development
of
design,
drawings
construction
documents
for
the
swing
space
to
minimize
construction
costs.
B

a

accommodated
at
the
Roland
Hays

Madison
Park,
and
the
