Summary

An unidentified council member told the city manager that OPM's Mr. Kane had promised a report on Coburn Hall within a week; four weeks later the report has not arrived and the member asked the manager to provide it to the council.

An unidentified council member told the city manager on the council floor that the Office of Property Managements Mr. Kane had said a report on Coburn Hall would be ready within a week, but four weeks have now passed without the promised document.

The council member said the delay is "a bit troubling" and warned that "the longer it waits, maybe the news isn't as good as we thought." The speaker asked the city manager, through the chair, to deliver the report to the council as soon as possible.

The exchange did not include additional details about the scope of the expected report, the reasons for the delay, or any specific findings about Coburn Hall. No formal motion or vote followed during the recorded segments. The transcript contains no response from the city manager or OPM in this excerpt, and no date was set for when the report would be provided.

Council members frequently request follow-up reports when outside offices or contractors are expected to deliver assessments; the record here shows a request and concern but not a formal direction or a decision to escalate the matter.
