Mr. Santoro called the Facilities, Transportation & Security Subcommittee meeting to order and introduced the compilation of Facilities needs from the School Improvement Plan, items from the Capital Improvement Plan, and projects on the Public Buildings report submitted to City Council on February 24.

Mr. Santoro thanked Ms. Owens for compiling the facilities project list and Mayor Koch for funding and support for the many projects recently completed and currently underway.
Mr. Santoro said that the facilities project list will be shared with Public Buildings Commissioner Paul Hines to add additional information on work planned to be completed by the end of the summer. Once School Committee has this information, they can review and prioritize.
Mrs. Lebo requested annotation to the list for any security or safety issues.
Mrs. Hubley asked for follow up with Principal Steve Sylvia, as Squantum did not have any requested items that might need to be addressed in the short term.

Mr. Bregoli asked Mayor Koch if he is involved in prioritizing projects, Mayor Koch said he is involved for big picture items. Mr. Bregoli thanked the Mayor, the Public Buildings staff is very responsive to issues as they arise in the schools.
Mr. Andronico made a motion to adjourn the Facilities, Transportation & Security Subcommittee meeting at 6:55 pm. Mr. Santoro seconded the motion and on a voice vote, the ayes have it.
