REVISED
June 19, 2015
The Honorable President and
Members of the Medford City Council
Medford City Hall
Medford, MA 02155
Dear Mr. President and Councillors:
I submit herewith for your
approval, the following amendment to the proposed Fiscal 2016 budget for the
City of Medford
for the period
July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016: the addition of $251,325 for Library salary
and expenses as set forth in my letter to you of June 9, 2015.
I am also requesting a
technical correction to the OCD/Boards Budget and the Public Works
Non-Enterprise budgets. The Hormel
Commission budget was inadvertently included in the OCD/Board Budget. It should be reflected instead in the Public
Works Non-Enterprise budgets.
The total amended submitted
appropriations to cover Municipal Salaries and Expenses including those of the
Medford School Department are:
Municipal Departments $102,701,445
School Department $ 52,933,000
TOTAL $155,634,445
