Official Text

To the Honorable Council:

 

I respectfully request that your Honorable Council accept a grant of $89,234.57 from State E911 to the Police department, under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A. This grant does not require the commitment of new matching funds.  The purpose of this grant is to pay for E911 training and certification of 911 telecommunicators.

 

This item was previously approved by your Honorable Council on December 17, 2020 as #210861. While processing that approval, it became clear that due to a scrivener's error, the amount of the grant award had been understated in the body of the text of #210861 by $8,484.95. The purpose of this re-submission is to correct that error, and confirm this Council's approval of the grant in full.

 

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

 

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
