What: a Council resolution asking Public Works to assess the condition of the city-owned Oldham School, including mold remediation, HVAC, plumbing and electrical.
Where it stands: approved by the Council on 2026-10-20 on the motion of Rick Lawson. Councilors said they favor community uses over housing; the Mayor's position was described only by Lawson.
Next: Public Works assessment, to be considered together with an earlier independent report presented in 2025.
Lawson proposed $300,000 for mold remediation at the Oldham School in the budget and then moved $250,000 from traffic signals; the motion was withdrawn and a funding ordinance or resolution is expected at the next meeting.
