Dear Honorable Council:
As a result of the 2015 winter storms, a section of roofing at the Beverly Golf and Tennis
clubhouse collapsed causing some damage to the exterior of the building and back porch
area. Since the incident we have been working with our insurance provider, Architects
and the Massachusetts Historical Commission to identify the proper scope of the repairs
and refine the cost estimates. Now that all the parties involved are in agreement, we want
to begin the repair work as soon as possible.
I respectfully request that the City Council approve an appropriation of $175,540 from
the Golf and Tennis enterprise fund balance to perform the building repairs. The
enterprise fund balance is sufficient to meet this obligation. In the very near future we
will receive the insurance reimbursement totaling $150,540 which will replenish the fund
balance. The net cost to the enterprise fund will be $25,000 which is the deductible level
that was in place when the incident occurred.
1:
This appropriation request requires a public hearing be set prior to final Council action. I
appreciate your attention to this at your upcoming meeting on May 16th.
Sincerely yours,
Michael P. Cahill,
Mayor
