It has been agreed with Bill McDonald, spokesperson for the Condo Associations. Negotiations with the trash hauler, JRM Corp. have resulted in agreement for pickup at $2.50 per unit per month or $17,670 per year for the 589 condo units which have shown an interest in city trash pickup. In addition we expect additional disposal costs at RESCO of approximately $15,000 per year for a total added cost of between $32,000 and $33,000. Our contract with JRM contains a re-opener provision based on the value of waste paper which has recently risen in value and should fully offset the additional condo costs in the upcoming year. I direct your attention to the previously mentioned attached memorandum. Beverly today enjoys a very favorable tipping fee at RESCO which will prevail until the year 2005 at which time our waste disposal costs can be expected to increase markedly. 108 In the interim we will put additional emphasis on recycling. Very truly yours, William F. Scardon, Jr., Mayor Referred to Finance and Pronertv #201 June 1, 2000 Honorable City Council City Hall Beverly, MA 01915 Dear Honorable Council: I am pleased to advise you that once again the City of Beverly will be able to finance prepayment of certain School District expenses in June of this current year for the benefit of next year's budget. The City will be able to set aside $200,000 for this purpose thus, in effect, adding 10% to the $2,000,000 budgeted increase for next fiscal year. By this letter 1 hereby request the City Council set a Public Hearing this evening to allow the transfer of the $200,000 to the School District on a timely basis. The funds will be sourced from a) $50,000 from the Reserve for Unforeseen thus bringing this account effectively to zero. It was originally budgeted at $487,000 but has been expended. b) $50,000 from snow and ice due to a milder than normal winter. c) $100,000 from health insurance costs which have fortunately been below budget. l realize that some well-intentioned suggestions have been made regarding next year's budget. You will note that the Reserve for Unforeseen for next year is budgeted at less than $200,000 in comparison to last year's $487,000. Thus it is bone thin as are our allowances for sidewalks and road repairs, etc. I urge you to not reduce an already tight city side budget bearing in mind the extreme penalties for overexpenditure of an annual budget which can include State sanctions, downgrading of bond ratings, loss in property values, etc. Lastly we remain ready to improve a High School playing field if a way can be found to make the field available. This offer has been made to school activities. Very truly yours, William F. Scanlon, Jr. Mayor Referred to Finance and Pronert, #202 June 5, 2000 Honorable City Council City Hall Beverly, MA 01915 Dear Honorable Council: I hereby reappoint, subject to your review and recommendation, Mr. Richard O.

This parcel is a top priority acquisition choice of the Open Space and Recreation CommiUee. Two appraisals were obtained one at $840,000, the other at $790,000. We have in fact reached agreement to purchase at $750,000. Please set a Public Hearing to allow discussion of the appropriation at your earliest convenience. We are on a very tight time line with Mr. Santin. Please appropriate Seven Hundred Fit~y Thousand Dollars ($750,000) for the purchase.

Any funds received will be treated as reimbursements. John Dunn will provide loan order wording. The land will be bonded for and is part of our planned capital expenditures. Very truly yours, William F.

In fact this evening, Jane 5th yOU Will receive detailed information regarding improvements to be water system in the Route 1A area. These improvements will have a major beneficial impact on North Beverly residents. In our Capital Expenditure Plan submitted to you several month ago we also outlined the need for a replacement water line under Route 62 (Elliott Street) from the Danvers line to McKay Street and budgeted that replacement this coming year. The existing line dates back to 1908 and is the principal feed line to the entire Ryal Side area. The project will include over 6,000 feet of 12" water line with a 328-foot section of 18" water line and nearly 2,000 feet of 6" line. The project also includes the cleaning and lining of a 12" main from McKay to Rantoul Streets as well as temporary service during installation and a 10% contingency. The project is estimated at $1,500,000 and an appropriation in that amount is requested with a Public Heating at your earliest convenience. John Dunn will provide the wording for a loan authorization request. 110 As with the Route 1A Project Frank Killilea, Director of Engineering, will make a detailed presentation of the project at the time of the Public Hearing.

Macdonald, City Clerk 191 Cabot St. 111 Beverly, MA RE: City Council order #163: Recommendation to City council regarding a Joint Public Hearing relative to Zoning Change at Cummings Center Dear Ms. Macdonald: At a meeting of the Beverly Planning Board held on Tuesday, May 16, 2000 members of the Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the Council and Planning Board hold a Joint Public Hearing to discuss the above-referenced Order. Respectfully, Richard Dinkin, Chairperson Referred to Leqal Affairs and Accounts #208 Honorable City Council 191 Cabot St. Bevedy, MA RE: Acceptance of Deed to the Tot Lot in the Planters Subdivision Dear Members of the Council: As you know, the City's Planning Board and Parks and Recreation Commission have been discussing the future of the tot lot in this subdivision for many months. As a condition of subdivision approval back in 1992, the Planning Board required the developer of this subdivision to construct a tot lot and to deed it to the City. The tot lot was constructed, but the City never accepted the deed pending resolution of concerns expressed by the Parks and Recreation commission about City ownership of and maintenance responsibilities for this parcel. The Planning Board held a public hearing earlier this week to consider the Parks and Recreation commission's request to eliminate the tot lot requirement. After hearing from the residents in this subdivision and considering the matter, the Planning Board voted unanimously to keep the tot lot requirement in force. Accordingly, I am requesting that the City Council vote to accept the deed to the tot lot in accordance with the Planning Board's 1992 vote. A copy of fhe deed is attached to this letter for reference, as is a copy of the Planning Board's 1992 approval letter for the Planters subdivision. Please let me know if you need any additional information on this matter Respectfully, Tina Cassidy, Director Planning & Development Department Referred to Leqal Affairs and Accounts #209 Bevedy City Council Members 191 Cabot St. Bevedy, MA 01915 Dear Honorable Council Members: Due to an oversight, Animal Control Officer, Paul Cotter, has never been officially appointed. ~ respectfully submit the appointment of: Paul Cotter 112 6 Cowdry Ave. Lynn, MA Effective October 18, 1999.

Gary Moffie, The Remodeling Company, chairs this program for the chamber. Member contractors donate their time and member businesses donate building materials. The goat of the program is to build handicap ramps for families with handicapped children or provide some building assistance for elders who are unable to afford these improvements. The first pro]ect was completed on May 25th for the Areore family on Coming Street. I am requesting that the City of Beverly waive any permitting tees for these project in light of the charitable nature of the services provided. if you have any questions regarding the program, please do not hesitate to call Gary Moffie at 921-9111 or me at 232 -9559. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Pamela McGrath Executive Director Referred to Finance and Property #211 Honorable City Council City Hall Beverly, MA 01915 Honorable City Council: The Beverly Recreation department would like your support for a waiver for Beverly Public School depadment staff members who also work for the Recreation Department. Under MGL 268A, teachers may not hold more than one position with the same city or town without a waiver from the City Council to do so. This year, the Recreation Department has four staff members who are seeking waivers under this law. Each member has worked for our department before seeking employment with the schools and has worked for us for as many as 12 years. Each teacher who seeks employment with the Recreation Depadment must undergo the same application process as any other applicant. Each year the City posts all job openings in the papers and interviews all applicants to determine those most suitable for the positions available. The staff seeking waivers were chosen because they are the most qualified for their position. Health Depadment regulations require that camp directors be 21 years of age or older with educational and or camp experience. Teachers, teachers aides and permanent substitutes make the most qualified camp directors and are superb candidates for summer staff. 113 The Recreation Deportment sees the value of Beverly Public School department employees as seasonal staff as a way to make a consistent commitment to the community. Please suppod our efforts to provide top quality care to the children of Beverly by granting a waiver to our staff for the summer of 2000.
