For the morning of Day Two, Sept. 19, the seating configuration changed from the previous day’s lecture hall style to small-group tables. Presentations were delivered rapid-fire in six different areas, specifically:
- Parks
- Residential Yard/Alleys
- Sewers
- Trash Containerization/Collections
- Public Housing
- Construction
The last topic, “Construction,” was prepared for by John Ulrich of the City of Boston Inspectional Services. Because of illness, however, Dr. Bobby Corrigan presented Ulrich’s Powerpoint.
Then, before the lunch break, attendees participated in a group question-and-answer session, with both event presenters and experts in the audience able to share insights and experiences. After lunch, attendees returned to the room to break out into small groups on one of the above six topics.
