SUBJECT: G.O. Bond Oversight Committee Motion
The purpose of this Letter to the Commission ("LT C") is to advise the Mayor and Commission of
a motion made during the December 14, 2023 G.O. Bond Oversight Committee meeting.
Motion - Regarding Delays in G.0. Bond Funded Projects
The G.O. Bond Oversight Committee made a motion to express their concerns regarding
the delays in several G .0 . Bond projects, particularly but not exclusively, Fire Station No.
1, that have undergone thorough vetting and have received extensive public input over
years. The purpose of this motion is to emphasize the urgency of moving forward with
these projects promised to residents, and to highlight the potentially wasteful financial
consequences including possible loss of grant funding, cost escalations, and expended
staff time associated with unreasonable delays.
