The Committee on Culture, Youth, Aging, Sports and Parks of the Legislature of the U.S. Virgin Islands convened on June 11, 2025, to discuss significant oversight measures regarding the Paul E. Joseph Stadium construction project. A key motion was introduced by Senator Boca, calling for the issuance of a subpoena to compel the Department of Public Works (DPW) and its Commissioner, Derek A. Bridal, to provide crucial documentation and testify before the committee.

Senator Boca's motion outlined specific requirements for the upcoming hearing scheduled for July 18, 2025. The committee seeks a comprehensive written statement detailing DPW's role, statutory authority, and oversight mechanisms related to the stadium project. Additionally, the committee requested a full project update, including construction milestones, schedules, funding sources, and a financial summary that covers the total budget, obligated funds, and expenditures to date.

The motion also emphasized the need for information on any change orders or contract amendments, along with explanations for any adjustments in scope or cost. Furthermore, the committee requested access to current and past bimonthly reports submitted to the legislature regarding the project.

This motion reflects the committee's commitment to transparency and accountability in the management of public works projects, particularly those involving significant public funding and community interest. The upcoming hearing is expected to provide critical insights into the progress and financial oversight of the Paul E. Joseph Stadium construction.
