Committee approves Ledge Street playground funding; member sought assurance playground isn’t slated for school closure
Summary
Committee voted to fund the Ledge Street playground from miscellaneous revenue account 45999 after questions about whether the school near the field might be closed in future. School plant operations director said the school is not under consideration for closure.
The committee voted to recommend funding for Ledge Street playground equipment from miscellaneous revenue account 45999 after Alderman Tebow raised concerns about whether the nearby school could be closed and leave the new playground serving a decommissioned site. "We don't have anybody from BOE here... But are we certain that Ledge Street is not on any kind of closure list anytime soon?" Tebow asked.
Sean Smith, identified in the transcript as plant operations director, responded that Ledge Street has not been named for closure in the facility master planning work. "Ledge Street has never been named any of that," Smith said, and the committee carried the item by unanimous committee recommendation to advance the funding.
