To the Honorable Board:

 

I respectfully request your acceptance of a Grant from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security in the amount of $74,542.00. These funds will be used for overtime cost, to ensure Community Police Officers can remain in their assigned routes as part of the Mass Municipal Police Staffing Grant.

 

In accordance with M.G.L., Chapter 44, Section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Alderman for the expenditure of grants, or gifts from the federal government and from charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual, or from the Commonwealth, a County or Municipality or agency thereof, I request that you accept this grant for final approval.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
