Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

Special state legislation (St.2015,c 10,Section 58) authorizes cities and towns to amortize the FY2015 snow and ice removal account deficit over a three fiscal year period, in equal installments or more rapidly. In FY2016, your Honorable Board approved an amortization schedule. The deficit net of projected FEMA reimbursement was $1,411,302 at June 30, 2015. The amortization schedule calls for three appropriations each of $470,434. An appropriation of $470,434 was approved for FY2016.

The appropriation of $470,434 for your consideration constitutes the second of three payments.

Approval is required as a condition of DOR Approval of the FY2017 Tax Recapitulation Sheet and Tax Rate.

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
