To the Honorable City Council:
Per the Community Preservation Committee’s recommendation, I respectfully request that your Honorable City Council appropriate $50,000 from the Community Preservation Act Fund from the open space/recreational land reserve budget to the Open Space Acquisition and Improvements Stabilization Fund. The appropriation will be allocated to the open space and recreational land CPA category. The following funding conditions have been placed on the project: 1) The City, as appropriate, agrees to post a sign stating that the open space acquired or created with these funds was funded through the City of Somerville's Community Preservation Act program; 2) A perpetual conservation restriction will be recorded on all properties acquired with CPA funds per the requirement of the CPA enabling legislation. Details of this request are available in the attached funding recommendation from the CPC.
My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
