To the Honorable Board:

I respectfully request that your Honorable Board accept a grant of $100,000.00 from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission Community Mitigation Reserve Fund to the OSPCD Transportation & Infrastructure Division, under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A. This grant does not require the commitment of new matching funds. The purpose of this grant is to pay for baseline monitoring of air quality and vehicular traffic in Somerville neighborhoods anticipated to be impacted by new vehicular traffic associated with the Everett Gaming Facility.

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
