Summary

The committee extended work on the Tilden House interior and accessibility phase and amended the extension to require an update at the November 30 meeting rather than an open FY27 extension.

Committee reviewed Tilden House progress — HVAC is nearly complete, floors have been ordered and accessibility work is in place — and initially moved to extend the project into FY27. Members expressed a preference for a nearer deadline to spur completion; one committee member proposed an amendment and the group approved extending the project to the November 30 meeting to allow staff to report progress.

The administrator said by August they will have a better timeline and can report whether a shorter extension is feasible; a member emphasized "people work by deadlines" and committee members agreed the November date gives a clearer finish line while preserving contractual protections until work is completed.
