"IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW"

SECURITY MAIN CONCERN FOR OLD MARSHALL SCHOOL

Interesting debate last Thursday night. DONNA COPPOLA raised her concerns because of an earlier discussion with MICHEAL DONOVAN of ISD while strongly downplayed by DR. LATHAM who cited as an example a story about one time when they had went over to the schooland while there the ppolice came over noting a disturbance in the school. She did admit however that the fact that much of the copper ppipe has been removed. She stressed though that that is a commom problem with abandoned buildiings throughout the city and that the clocks on the walls are safe. I do wonder though how many of those other abandoned buildings have an abundance of security cameras and an elaborate alarm system?

The other question I have is about the $3.5 million the MSBA gave us to destroy it. Since there are no known immediate plans to demolish it what is happening right now with that money? Somebody is drawing interest and who? By the time demolition ever occurs, if it does, a tidy little sum could accrue. We already financed a BOND for $92 Million so. . .
