Dear Honorable Board:

 

On April 28, 2011, the your Board adopted the One-Year Action Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Programs for 2011.

 

The City has received notice that it is eligible for additional ESG funds (re-named Emergency Solutions Grant) in the amount of $70,741.00. Approval by your Honorable Board in the form of an amendment to the 2011-2012 HUD Action Plan is required to accept and authorize the expenditure of these funds.

 

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 individual, or from the Commonwealth, a county or municipality or agency thereof, I request approval to expend these grant funds.

 

Respectfully submitte,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
