To the Honorable City Council:

 

I respectfully request an appropriation of $88,750 from Unreserved Fund Balance ("Free Cash") to the City Clerk's Office's Office Equipment - Capitalized Account, for the purpose of purchasing and installing high-density shelving in the new long-term home of the municipal archives being prepared at 42 Cross Street. This new location offers approximately 40% of the square footage of the current temporary location at the Edgerly School, and a combination of high-density shelving and increased off-site storage will be required to house the city's growing collection.

 

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
