To the Honorable City Council:

 

I respectfully request the repurpose of $80,000 in the COVID-19 Stabilization Fund for the purpose of hiring a consultant to develop a Somerville Cultural plan. On December 17, 2020, your Honorable Council approved an appropriation of $600,000 from the COVID-19 Stabilization Fund to provide relief to the Somerville Arts Community.  (Item # 211088).   This action seeks to repurpose $80,000 from that $600,000 appropriation for the purpose of hiring a consultant to develop a long-range Cultural Plan for the City of Somerville.

 

My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
