Legislators want control over 34 Glenaida planning funds; ask to keep study funding under project code

The committee reviewed capital projects and turned a long discussion to the 34 Glenaida site, where the legislature previously authorized demolition. Members agreed to authorize funds for planning and a consultant RFP but debated where to place the $200,000 allocation so the legislature retains oversight of study scope and potential design outcomes. Several legislators asked that the money be assigned to a project code (e.g., a designated capital-project line for 34 Glenaida) or placed in the capital-reserve minor-renovations line so any drawdown would require legislative approval.
