Dear Honorable Council:
I am pleased to inform you that the City of Beverly, through our Engineering
Department, has received a Sustainable Materials Recovery Program Grant for
Curbside Composting from the Department of Environmental Protection in the
amount of $20,000. With your approval, this grant will be used to implement a
two -year food waste curbside collection pilot for up to 500 households. Funds
will be used to purchase the waste carts and to off -set a portion of the hauling
costs. 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 by taking action on this matter at your upcoming meeting of the City
Council on June 15, 2015. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Michael P. Cahill
Mayor
