Dear Honorable Council:
I respectfully request that you approve a transfer of $255,227 from the FY17 Reserve for
Union Negotiations 11324 / 57810 into various departmental budgets as a result of the
recently agreed upon Beverly Municipal Employees Association (BMEA) contracts. The
terms of the contracts cover the periods of FY2015 through FY2018. As such, a portion
of the requested transfer will be allocated to pay retroactive salary adjustments and a
portion will be allocated to adjust the FY2017 budgeted salaries for BMEA members.
Sufficient funds are available within the reserve account to support this transfer.
Please initiate action on this matter at your Special City Council meeting scheduled for
Thursday June 9th, 2016. This transfer request will require a public hearing be set prior
to a Council vote.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Michael P Cahill
