To the Honorable Board:
I respectfully request that the Honorable Board of Aldermen accept a grant from the Office of Emergency Preparedness to reimburse the Somerville Police Department for Security improvements to the Public Safety Building and the Fire Alarm Office not to exceed $42,000.00. The purpose of this grant is to purchase and install a flood barrier in the Public Safety Building to protect critical communications and electrical equipment that was previously destroyed by flooding and to install a security access system at the Public Safety Building and the Fire Alarm Office. This grant will also fund a computer and monitor for the Fire Alarm Office.
In accordance with M.G.L., Chapter 44, Section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Aldermen for the expenditure of grants, or gifts from the federal government and from a charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual, or from the Commonwealth, a County or Municipality or agency thereof, I request that you accept this grant for final approval.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
