The following Letter was received from the Mayor. The communication was received and filed. To the City Council City Hall Salem, Massachusetts Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council: I am writing in response to your concerns regarding the City's ability to fund the potential additional interest costs for the High School Renovation Project. You may have already heard Superintendent Levine has been informed by the State Education Board that the reimbursement rate for Salem High School has been increased from 78% to 90%. It is very likely with this 90% reimbursement formula, we will now get priority one funding status. However, we must apply for that status and will not receive confirmation until a later time. In the meantime, I am writing to respond to your concerns regarding "lag time" or potential additional interest costs. While I would prefer the flexibility of funding the potential additional interest costs directly in the City's FY 06-07 Operating Budget, I will, however, commit $250,000-$350,000 from the next 6 years' Medicaid Reimbursement to be transferred to a Special Revenue-Debt Service Fund (schedule CITY OF SALEM 115 MAY 24, 2001 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL attached). These funds will be for the express purpose of offsetting the potential additional interest costs which may occur in the event of a delay in state reimbursement for this project. I am confident that this action will address your concerns and limit any financial impact on future City Operating Budgets. I am committed to fulfilling the City's School Building Program and appreciate the support the City Council has shown in rebuilding the City's schools. I look forward to working with you to see this important project through to fruition. Sincerely, Stanley J. Usovicz, Jr. Mayor SCHEDULE FISCAL FY 02 $250,000 FY 03 $250,000 FY 04 $250,000 FY 05 $250,000 FY 06 $250,000 FY 07 $350,000 TOTAL $1,600,000 #360A - RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DEDICATION OF MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT FOR SPECIAL REVENUE DEBT SERVICE FUND. The following Resolution was received from the Mayor. The resolution was received and filed. Resolution Whereas, the Salem City Council has been consistently supportive of the renovation and building projects of the Salem Public Schools and the Salem School Committee wishes to acknowledge their support; Whereas, the Salem City Council has already authorized the renovation of the Salem High School for $24.7 million at 65% reimbursement from the state; Whereas, the Massachusetts Department of Education School Building Assistance Board has indicated that the DOE sets great importance on the full renovation of the 116 CITY OF SALEM MAY 24, 2001 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL Salem High School and has made a commitment to Salem to fund a renovation project of$37.5 million with 90% reimbursement, should Salem remove the high school project from the current project list and reapply for funding; And whereas, Salem would achieve significant savings over the period of the bond with higher reimbursement; And whereas, Salem cannot know the schedule of reimbursement payments unless application is made to the state by June 1, 2001; And City Councillors wish to be assured of the fiscal feasibility of such reapplication should there be a delay of reimbursements following completion of the renovation; Therefore be it resolved: That in recognition of our shared responsibilities, the Salem School Committee supports the Mayor's decision to dedicate $250,000 per year from Medicaid Reimbursements to a Special Revenue - Debt Service Fund to offset any increase in short term interest due to the high school renovation project; and that the Salem School Committee respectfully requests that the Salem City Council authorize a new bond limit of$37.5 million for the Salem High School renovation project at the next meeting on Thursday, May 24, 2001, so that an amended application may be made to the state by June 1, 2001. #361 - ORDER REFERRING THE SALEM GLASS CO.
