“Moved by Philip Ottaviani; seconded by Michael Cannon to Approve Second Reading That the City of Framingham hereby appropriates the amount of One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand ($125,000) Dollars for the purpose of paying feasibility study and schematic design costs related to a potential Accelerated Repair Project involving replacement of the roof at Brophy Elementary School located at 575 Pleasant Street and includes a building consisting of 66,000 square feet, plus over 2,000 square feet of modular space, and is situated on 28.13 acres of land with a playground, two baseball fields, a lacrosse field and a soccer field, and 80 vehicle-parking spaces, including the payment of all costs incidental or related thereto (the “Project”), which proposed repair project would materially extend the useful life of the school and preserve an asset that otherwise is capable of supporting the required educational program, and for which the City of Framingham has applied for a grant from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (the “MSBA”), said amount to be expended under the direction of Superintendent of Schools. To meet this appropriation, the Treasurer with the approval of the Mayor, is authorized to borrow said amount under M.G.L. Chapter 44, or any other enabling authority. The City of Framingham acknowledges that the MSBA’s grant program is a non-entitlement, discretionary program based on need, as determined by the MSBA, and if the MSBA’s Board of Directors votes to invite the City of Framingham to collaborate with the MSBA on this proposed repair project, any project costs the City of Framingham incurs in excess of any grant that may be approved by and received from the MSBA shall be the sole responsibility of the City of Framingham; and that, if invited to collaborate with the MSBA on the proposed repair project, the amount of borrowing authorized pursuant to this vote shall be reduced by any grant amount set forth in the Project Funding Agreement, or Feasibility Study Agreement if applicable, that may be executed between the City of Framingham and the MSBA. Further, that this order shall supersede a like amount of the appropriation and borrowing authorization loan order vote for this Project adopted by the City Council on June 27, 2023 as part of Loan Order #2023-042-002 (the “2023 Loan Order”) and any amounts already borrowed or encumbered under the 2023 Loan Order are hereby deemed to be borrowed and encumbered under this Loan Order.. Motion Passed: 10- 0 Voting For: Noval Alexander, Michael Cannon, George King, Janet Leombruno, Christine Long, Leora Mallach, Philip Ottaviani, Brandon Ward, John Stefanini, Mary Kate Feeney Voting Against: None.” (Motion: Ottaviani, second: Cannon)
