Council tables Edgewood Pre‑K contract vote pending Board of Finance action
Summary
A proposed contract with QA and M to move the Edgewood Pre‑K Academy project from targeted alterations to a renovation-as-new plan was tabled at the council’s request until the Board of Finance meets and allocates necessary funds.
Councilors voted to table action on a proposed contract with QA and M for the Edgewood Pre‑K Academy renovation after members noted the Board of Finance had not yet taken up the required funding allocation. The Edgewood Building Committee recommended moving from targeted alterations to a renovation‑as‑new design; the Board of Education voted to forward that request to the Board of Finance and the city council for funding.
Because the Board of Finance had not met to act on the allocation, Council Member Jackie Olson moved — and the council seconded — a motion to table the contract until after the Board of Finance meeting scheduled Oct. 28. Councilors said they preferred to act after formal finance authorization rather than before funding was allocated.
No contract was executed at the joint meeting; staff and the board of education will return the item after the Board of Finance considers the funding request.
