[quote=Anonymous]In 2021 the board approved the Woodward construction contract at a non-prevailing wage. It was specifically mentioned in the memo as a cost savings. There is nothing illegal about not paying prevailing wage. But it does mean you can't qualify for the subsidy from the state. They had a choice - prevailing wage contract with higher costs that are offset by state aid or non-prevailing wage that costs less but you forego state aid. They appear to have thought that because they had bid and contracted parts of the project at PW (planning, demolition, site work), they could keep all the state aid even for the construction contract. So whoever ran the financing numbers for this was bad at their job. If you look at that board memo, the initials on it are Seth Adams, Eugenia Dawson, and Monifa McKnight.[/quote]
