Council requests Left Field update after reports of six-month delay at Revere High School

Councilor Kelly asked the mayor to invite Brian Dakin of Left Field to provide an update on the construction of the new Revere High School and to explain reports of a six-month delay.

"I got a couple of calls from constituents that were a little confused about things that were stated in the meeting, particularly regarding a 6 month delay in the opening of the school," Councilor Kelly said, and urged that the contractor "come in and give us some concrete details regarding the delay and the reason for it so that there's not just speculation out there."

Councilor Novosowski added that the council should be kept informed of site issues after reporting that a contractor-related blocked drain at the site recently caused flooding that damaged nearby businesses. He asked that Mr. Dakin address that incident when he appears.

The council asked the mayor to add Mr. Dakin to the Feb. 9 agenda; councilors said being kept updated is appropriate because the council is the bonding authority for the project.
