Dear Honorable Council:
I am pleased to inform you that the City of Beverly, through our Fire Department, was awarded an Assistance to
Firefighters Grant from the Department of Homeland Security FEMA in the amount of $168,450. This original amount
was approved by the Council on June 20 2016 per order #2016.142. We were recently notified that we were
awarded an increase in grant funds of $56,150, bringing the total grant award to $224,600. With your approval, this
grant increase will be used to replace additional Breathing Apparatus Equipment for the Beverly Fire Department.
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 44 Section 53A requires both council and mayoral approval before any grant or
gifts to the city can be expended for their prescribed purpose. I therefore request the council approve this grant
increase of $56,150 by taking action on this matter at your upconng meeting of the City Council on August 2nd, 2016.
