#249 (Late File)
Honorable City Council
Beverly City Hall
Beverly, MA
Dear Honorable Council:
The City of Beverly has a number of old completed capital projects on
which remain authorized and unissued debt. These amounts result
from the fact that the projects ended up costing less than the amount
originally appropriated for their completion.
We carry these authorized and unissued debt amounts in our annual
financial statements and they are also included in various debt reports
to the Department of Revenue. As these projects are complete and
long term bond debt has been issued, the Council can vote to rescind
the balances remaining on these projects.
The authorized and unissued debt amounts that should be rescinded
are as follows;
Description
Unissued Amount
Dates Authorized
Library Renovations
$1,925,000
School Roof Repair 11,000
Sewer Construction 4,630,000
Water Tower 880,000
Senior Center 25,000
RESCO 56,465
February 11, 1991
April 12, 1993
October 23, 1991
June 28, 1983
December 5, 1990
July 17, 1991
January 24, 1995
I would appreciate your vote to rescind the remaining balances of
these Capital projects.
In addition, Bond Counsel, who has reviewed the documentation
relating to the loan orders for dump capping passed in January and
the drainage projects passed in February has requested that the
Council confirm those prior votes. It appears that in both cases, the
public notices that were scheduled to appear in a Friday edition of the
newspaper were delayed, on to Saturday edition and the other to the
following Monday edition, resulting in less than the required ten days
notice. Bond counsel has requested that the Council pass the
attached order by a two-thirds roll call vote, which vote can then be
approved by the Mayor. I have also attached copies of the original
loan orders.
Very truly yours,
John P. Dunn, Finance Director
