Board discusses asbestos policy and a wireless security pilot

May 19, 2025

Board members asked about asbestos abatement at sites where work occurred; staff said asbestos is addressed when work will disturb materials. Staff also described piloting a newer wireless monitoring/security system rather than structural 'hardening.'

The full story

Board members asked whether previously completed buildings had all asbestos removed.

"If it's intact and it's not gonna be disturbed ever, you leave it alone," Shaw said.
