To the Honorable Board:
I respectfully request to appear before your Board along with Julie M. McKenzie, Chief Labor Counsel for the City of Somerville, on May 24, 2018, in executive session pursuant to M.G.L. c. 30A, § 21(a) (3) to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining issues. Executive session is necessary to protect the bargaining position of the City of Somerville.
Therefore, I hereby request that the President move to go into Executive Session to discuss strategy with respect to ongoing collective bargaining matters and that the President separately declare that, in the City Solicitor's opinion, an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the City of Somerville.
I have attached a proposed Board order in this matter. Your consideration with respect to this request is most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
