Enos MAYOR SHAUNNA O'CONNELL BUDGET DIRECTOR February 28, 2025 Council President Scott Martin Taunton Municipal Council 15 Summer Street Taunton, MA 02780 Dear Council President Martin, Members of the Taunton Municipal Council, and City Residents, I write to provide you with additional information following an article published by the Taunton Gazette regarding memorabilia items at the former Coyle Cassidy High School. Having had four of my family members attend Coyle Cassidy, I appreciate the importance of its history and the sentiment of people toward the school. Following the closure of Coyle Cassidy High School and Middle School in 2020, the Diocese of Fall River remained the owner and custodian of the property at 2 Hamilton Street for almost four years until the City of Taunton purchased it at the end of 2023 and subsequently transferred it to the Taunton Public Schools. During the time in which the school remained under the control of the Diocese, items of sentimental value to the students and families remained under their control and supervision. It is the City's understanding that some items were given away, damaged or otherwise removed from the property during that time period. It is impossible for the City to account for all of the items that remained behind when Coyle Cassidy closed. The Diocese claims, according to the Taunton Gazette article, that the City agreed to "display memorabilia throughout the building." No such language was included in the Purchase & Sale agreement, but knowing that the building at 2 Hamilton Street would likely be turned over to Taunton Public Schools to be utilized as a school building, we would expect that the students of the new school would want to have their own school items displayed. I share the disappointment of former Coyle Cassidy families that items of sentimental value were discarded. Multiple City and School Department staff involved made decisions that, in their professional opinions, would quickly result in a safe, clean environment. Although this is a unique situation, staff have learned important lessons that will help them better handle future situations. We hope this provides our community with a better understanding of the complexity of the situation. Unfortunately, articles published in newspapers don't necessarily include all of the correct information needed to fully understand a situation and context of conversations, particularly when multiple people and modes of communication are involved. Despite our hopes that a hometown newspaper would contribute to the elevation of civil discourse and be a vehicle for complete and accurate information, that is not always the case. Everyone on our City and School teams sincerely regret this situation. Our City staff will continue to work with School Department staff to ensure that our occupation and utilization of the property at 2 Hamilton Street will honor the memory of the exceptional school that preceded us.

Housing Production Plans are developed by cities and towns pursuant to regulations adopted by the State's Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. The regulations state that HPPs shall be adopted by a city's planning board and city council, following which the chief executive officer may submit the HPP to the state. Therefore, under the regulations the HPP will be approved by both the Planning Board and the City Council. We would recommend that, once the Planning Board has received all input from city departments, the Planning Board first vote to approve the HPP and then refer the draft that it has approved to the Municipal Council for action by the Council.

Please find attached a communication from the Superintendent of Schools for you review We would like to discuss this matter of March 11, 2025. Thank you for your Consideration Resp/ ; ; ,mitted, Patrick D. Dello Russo Jr. Chief Financial Officer City of Taunton  ~. TAUNTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO: School Committee FROM: John Cabral, Superintendent of Schools DATE: January 31 , 2025 RE: Massachusetts School Building Authority Statement of Interest (SOI) I would like to bring to your attention an important opportunity for our district to secure state funding for school facility upgrades. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) has reopened its Accelerated Repair Program (ARP), and we will be submitting a Statement of Interest (SOI) for 2 Hamilton Street under this program. This program is specifically designed to preserve and improve existing school facilities by funding essential energy-efficient and cost-saving upgrades, such as roof replacements, window and door replacements, HVAC system upgrades, and boiler replacements. Additionally, it includes funding for heat pump conversions to improve energy efficiency. Several of our schools have recently benefited from this program, resulting in substantial infrastructure improvements, increased energy efficiency, and long-term operational cost savings. • Edmund H. Bennett Elementary School • Harold H. Galligan Elementary School • Taunton Alternative High School • Joseph H. Martin Middle School This MSBA Accelerated Repair Program (ARP) provides an excellent opportunity to provide upgrades to existing buildings with financial support from the state rather than placing the full burden on the local community. After a temporary pause in 2023, and with an increased budget, the MSBA reopened the ARP. The program will accept SOis biennially, meaning districts will only have the opportunity to apply every two years. The total funding allocation for this cycle is $550 million, with $300 million dedicated to roof, window, and door projects and $250 million for heat pump conversion projects. The deadline for SOI submission is March 21, 2025. I want to stress, submitting an SOI is the first step in the MSBA's grant process and DOES NOT guarantee entry or require a financial commitment from the school department of City of Taunton inorder to be accepted into the capital pipeline. However, the submission of a SOI is a necessary prerequisite, should you wish to move forward . If our submission were to be approved, we would collaborate closely with the City and the MSBA to advance the project planning and funding process. Given that the ARP will only be offered every two years, the next opportunity to submit an SOI will not be until 2027. If we do not apply this year, we risk delaying upgrades and operational efficiencies for at least two years. I strongly encourage all members of the committee to support this submission, as it represents a unique oppottunity to invest in our school facilities while leveraging state resources. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.  9. He said it was a great opportunity for the City of Taunton and the Taunton Public Schools to participate in the Massachusetts School Building Authority Accelerated Repair Program. Mr. Cabral said that the program has been dormant for several years. He said the MSBA is reopening the program and they have a unique opportunity with the school committee's approval to submit a statement of interest on behalf of 2 Hamilton Street to perfonn energy efficient and cost saving upgrades that would be funded by the state at a 80/20 split so it would be 80 cents on every dollar that is spent. The MSBA will reimburse the City of Taunton which means the City of Taunton taxpayers or residents would be on the books for about 20 cents on every dollar spent. Mr. Cabral said that this is a program that the city and our schools have benefited greatly from, the opportunity allows for roof replacements, window and door replacements, HVAC system upgrades, boiler replacements and they are now including heat pump conversion programs to improve energy efficiency. Mr. Cabral said the only problem is that they are only going to run the program every two years so they need to take action tonight because the next window of opportunity will be in 2027. The schools who have benefited from this program are Bennett Elementary; they received new doors, windows and a new roof. The Taunton Alternative High school received new doors, windows and also a new roof. Martin Middle School has received new doors, windows and the roof that was not vegetative was replaced. Mr. Cabral commented that the school depaitment had benefited greatly from this program. Mr. Cabral said he would love to see the school committee authorize them to submit an SOI as the state is allocating $550 million for this cycle with $300 million being dedicated to roofs and windows and doors and about $250 million being dedicated to heat pump conversion projects in order to meet the deadline Mr. Cabral said that they needed to submit the SOI Statement oflnterest by March 21, 2025 and he stressed that this was the first step in the process and it does not guarantee entry into the program and that it also does not require any kind of financial commitment just to submit a SOI. Mr. Cabral stated they would not be costing the taxpayers or residents of the City of Taunton any money, they are just trying to get into the system. He also said that once they are in the system the MSBA will come and evaluate the building and make a recommendation whether or not it will be accepted into the pipeline and then they would begin conversations regarding funding with the city. Mr. Cabral said as someone that ha worked in Mrs. Moynihan 's assistant superintendent position and who has written many SOI's and as a superintendent who has overseen some of these SOI's he recommended that the school committee make a motion to authorize his administration to submit an SOI as part of the process. Mr. Vieira clarified that by submitting the SOI it did not commit them to anything other than being entertained as part of the building improvement process. Mr. Cabral stated that was correct; it was just an application. Mr. Loura asked if they had to be specific on how they would break down the funds if approved. Mr. Cabral responded not at the beginning stage of the process. Mr. Enos stated that you do need to state what you would like to apply for like windows, roofs and so on. Mr. Cabral told the committee once the SOT is complete he \Vould bring the completed SOT back to the committee for a final vote and then they have to have a vote to submit the SOI to the MSBA. Then he would work the mayor and the city council to get the city council approved authorization just to enter Taunton School Committee 5, 2025 17  GFWC Greater Taunton Woman's Club P.O.
