Dear Honorable Board:
I am writing this letter to inform you that I am taking the option of the early retirement
incentive for state employees, as was recently passed by the Legislation and signed by the
Governor. This early retirement must be effective as of July 1, 1992.
Due to this retirment, it is mandatory that I resign my position with the City of Beverly,
as an Assessor, on June 30, 1992. I have also informed the Municipal Retirement Board of my
decision.
Most important is that I would like to be appointed to fill the unexpired term I would hope
this could be accomplished by July 6, 1992 so that I could continue to assist the Board in the
Fiscal 1993 revaluation.
I hope this meets with your approval as I would very much like to continue working with the
Board.
Respectfully,
John D. Heaphy
Received and Placed on File.
