that, council And if could just comment, do you know anything about the roof at Borden that you're dealing with?
2:09:28
Where are we with that?
2:09:30
What has been the city's response?
Jeanine Costley
2:09:33
So the building, it's a very old building and there's, you know, there's been some repairs that need to be done for a pretty long period of time.
2:09:42
We've been working with the Department of Homeless Services and the Department of Buildings regarding the repairs that are needed there.
2:09:50
The facilities department has come out, and they've done repairs over the years.
2:09:55
A lot of patchwork and a lot of fixing parts of the roof and the skylights at Borden, But it is a capital project, and we're working closely with our partners at DHS to ensure that it gets done.
2:10:08
It's right now, it's on a plan that it'll get done sometime between now and the February.
2:10:15
So we're working with them
Robert F. Holden
2:10:16
closely to whether that happens.
2:10:17
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
2:10:19
So if they say the end of this year
Jeanine Costley
2:10:21
We're hoping that at the end of this year, we'll be able to do as much as we can for the roof.
2:10:26
And so I would be happy to report back on that, and I'll be talking to DHS more about that.
2:10:32
But every year, we get new information, and so the information now is by the February that it'll be fixed.
