Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

The Somerville Public Library has received a generous donation in the amount of $15,000 from Karl and Hannah Voskuil.

In accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 44, Section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Aldermen for the expenditure of grants or gifts from the federal government and from a charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual, or from the Commonwealth, a county or municipality or agency thereof, I request approval to expend this grant.

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor

Amended

Amended to note that the donation was a gift, not a grant.
