To the Honorable Board:
I respectfully request that your Honorable Board accept a gift $9,064.80 from the Cambridge 5K Marathon road race, and establish a consolidated gift account for this purpose. This organization will be contributing a gift on an annual basis to defray Police Department overtime costs for this event. The Somerville Police Department will ensure the safety of people attending the event on the Somerville side and manage the pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow that will come through the streets of Somerville associated with the Marathon.
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 the approval to accept reimbursement for the above mentioned expenditures.
Thank you for consideration of this matter.
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
