As you know, the City was sued by the owner in June 2003 for damages incurred by the Taking on May 24, 2002. 92 The good news is that the verdict returned by the jury was at the very low end of the range of possible outcomes. I will discuss possible means of funding this settlement with you soon. The Key things at this point is that a) the verdict is in b) a huge liability has been removed from the City c) our people, Roy Gelineau and Tina Cassidy and our outside counsel, did a excellent job defending the City’s interests. Very truly yours, William F. Scanlon, Jr. Mayor Refer to Finance and Property #170 June 20, 2005 Honorable City Council City Hall Beverly, MA 01915 Dear Honorable Council: In the years up to and including 2001 we did extensive assessment of environmental issues on property at the Beverly Airport. In 2002 this work was discontinued despite its being incomplete. Upon my return to office in 2004 we began exploration with several firms the scope of work and cost to complete the assessment process and provide appropriate remediation to complete the project. Recently we received a communication from DEP outlining penalties that would be assessable against the City if the outstanding work is not completed. Such penalties would commence on August 1, 2005. It is, therefore, quite necessary that we award the contract to complete the assessment and do appropriate remediation. The cost of the contract work is $200,000 based on known, current conditions. It is our expectation that the funds for this cleanup which will have long-term asset value will be bonded. Please take steps to advertise the necessary Public Hearing at your first opportunity.
