Liveblog: report on School Plant

The School Committee is taking the report of the School Plant out of order.
They've just decided not to send books stored at South High to the Historical Museum.

We've now got two items filed with Lieutenant Governor Murray was Mayor (!), one on veterans, one on firecode, and both were filed (which means they sit on it).

I take it the School Plant does not meet often?
Yup, here's one by Murray and Joe O'Brien, both of whom have been off the School Committee for at least two years (four?) on an energy audit, which would be a great idea, but is also being filed, as is "aggressively pursuing" energy savings, as is one on putting solar panels on the roof of the Tech School.

No idling zones around schools: filed.
Energy conservation options at the new North High: filed.

uh, okay, basically everything on this report is being filed, with the exception of the "innovation center" at the Tech School, which was approved 2-1, Mullaney voting nay.

The Mayor asks if the Green Hill Park Coalition and the City Manager has approved the item. Mr. Bogigian says this was "just a next step" before they go any further. Mr. Coghlin has said that he is dealing with each group separately, 'though the grant is due in June.
Building budget approved 2-1, Mullaney voting nay.
Mr. O'Connell assures us that every item was thoroughly considered before filing.
