To the Honorable Board:

Per the Community Preservation Committee’s recommendation on March 4, 2015, I respectfully request that your Honorable Board appropriate $168,191 for the Somerville Historical Society to complete the Somerville Museum's ADA accessibility project by purchasing a wheelchair lift and to undertake major environmental improvements to preserve the Museum's collection. The appropriation will be allocated to the Historic Resources category and funded from the Historic Resources Reserve.

The Committee attached the following conditions to the recommended appropriation: 1) a perpetual preservation restriction; and 2) a public access requirement.

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
