Assistant Commissioner Alex Maldonado explains that the Department of Design and Construction oversees the budget and schedule for Borough-based jail projects, hence their details are not reflected in the capital commitment plan.

The Department of Design and Construction controls the budget and schedule for the Borough-based jail projects.
The capital commitment plan does not reflect the budget and timeline changes for these projects.
Council Member Adrienne E. Adams inquires about the lack of visible changes in the plan despite known project delays and cost increases.
Delays and cost hikes in the Borough-based jail projects are attributed to increased labor and steel prices.

The current capital commitment plan shows very minimal changes between fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 20 28.

2:38:44

Typically, this means little to no delays or cost increases for capital projects.

2:38:49

So can you explain why there are virtually no changes in the capital commitment plan?

2:38:57

When we know that the Borrow based jail's projects are delayed by over 2 years, and the administration has estimated substantial increases in costs due to the increased cost of labor and steel.

Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Alex Maldonado, and I'm the assistant commissioner for strategic initiatives, and I oversee the barrel based gel program on behalf of the department.

2:39:21

What I can tell you about the funding for the burrow based gel program.

2:39:25

The Department of Design And Construction controls the budget as well as the schedule for the burrow based gel ground.

2:39:32

So you would not see that.

2:39:34

You would have to ask them more clearly where the funding and how we we the schedule will progress
