To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request that your Honorable Council accept a donation from Tufts University in the amount of $75,000 under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A.
Under the provisions of the Tufts University-City of Somerville Partnership Agreement 2014-2018, Tufts University donated $75,000 annually to the City of Somerville to be used for educational, cultural, or recreational purposes. Though no formal agreement currently exists, Tufts University continues this practice as part of an annual PILOT payment. The donation presented in this request was received on June 15, 2021 and represents a FY2021 payment.
My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank your for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
