Council Member Williams inquires about long-term investment plans for York College's main academic building, particularly addressing the foundation wall issues. CUNY COO Hector Batista provides a brief response:
- Batista acknowledges that addressing the larger problem is a priority for CUNY.
- He emphasizes that the current $30 million allocation is Phase One, focused on addressing the immediate problem.
- The implication is that addressing the larger issues, including the foundation wall, will be part of subsequent phases.
- Williams highlights the critical nature of the issue, noting that the foundation wall holds up the entire building.
- The exchange underscores the tension between addressing immediate needs and planning for long-term, comprehensive solutions.
- The brief nature of the response suggests that detailed long-term plans are not yet solidified or ready to be shared publicly.
