City and state requirements. Much has been said regarding the
h
importance of the project. we must now take the next step. Regarding
the Memorandum of Understanding. The Museum went ahead with plans and
it required the discontinuance of Liberty Street. We will be
finalizing plans with the proper permitting agencies of the City. We
will file with the Planning Board regarding a site plan review, which
requires very detailed statements and applications. There will be
further public hearings, and notices with ample opportunities to have
concerns addressed and inquiries answered. what we are concerned
about tonight is the taking of Liberty Street.
Attorney Serafini then turned comments over to John Parker,
President of the Museum's Board of Trustees. He stated that the
Museum as a whole, were enthusiastic about the plans laid out in the
Memorandum of Understanding. We felt we have established a
partnership with the city. it is this partnership that is important.
We have renovated and built the Park Visitor center. We have
refurbished the Library, which is beautiful. We have built storage
facilities that are climate controlled to protect our exhibits. We
have moved ahead in a major way. it will be an attractive addition
which will enhance the city. we have received feed back and made

discontinuance will not affect the Fire Department response to the
area. He supports the discontinuance.
The comments of Mr. Bornstein, rapt. Callahan, and Lt. Latullippe
were submitted in writing for the record.

Engineers, VHB, for a transportation analysis.
David Cleary, Traffic Engineer, VHB stated that they looked at the
impact of closing the street to traffic as well as to pedestrians. we
looked during various times of the year. We looked at the impact of
closing the street. Liberty Street is considered a local street. it
carries approximately 300 cars during peek hours. we looked at the
impact of people approaching from the South. This closing would
enhance pedestrian traffic in this area. Enhanced signage will direct
pedestrians to the area.
Attorney Serafini called upon the city Planner to speak regarding
the Traffic Study. Craig Wheeler stated that he has received this
report and his conclusion is that traffic and pedestrians will not be
negatively impacted by this closing. Mr. Wheeler also read a letter
from Mayor Usovicz to be entered into the record supporting the

by this closing and pedestrian access will be enhanced. With a world

don't anticipate any negative impacts. Meg Twohey, Federal street has
strong support but has concerns for the armory and access during

businesses. Annie Harris, 28 chestnut Street and Salem Partnership,
has reviewed the plans and is very supportive of the Museum's plans.
Staley McDermott, 30 Dearborn St. , stated that he was in favor of
expansion and closing of Liberty street but it is not an insignificant
cost. Russ Vickers, 15 Beach Avenue, is in favor of discontinuance
and Museum expansion plans. Campbell Sears, 22 Beach Ave., would like
to see the project go forward. William Burns, Beckford Street is also
in favor of closing of Liberty street but would like to link it to the
preservation of the armory facade. Also appearing in favor of the
discontinuance were Ellen DiGerinomo, 11 church St., Executive
Director of the Salem chamber of commerce, Dolores Jordan, 97
Derby St. , William Tinti, 16 Beckford St.,and Charlie Newhall, Daniel
St.
Those appearing in opposition were: Larry Kindler, 27 charter
St. , who is concerned by the closing of the street, loss of parking,
and the inability to get around. There is a need for a clear
unobstructed access to downtown. Terry Kalgren of 10 Boardman St. ,
is
doesn't want to see this at the cost of the residents. Attorney Roy
Gelineau, who represents the Derby street Businesses, asked that the
council look at the impact of the closing on the residents and
businesses. one problem is that the Museum is not open the same hours
as other businesses and access will be denied. Attorney Gelineau

SPECIAL MEETING
brought up points regarding the statutory wording of the hearing
notice. Attorney Gelineau requests that a letter he sent to the
council be made a matter of record. Attorney Philip Strome,
represents Russell Kiernan of Essex street. Mr. Kiernan's garage,
house, and business is a direct abutter to Liberty Street. No one has
made a serious effort to undertake his interests as an abutter.
Alicia Hart, 47 Washington Square, stated that small streets are
needed to keep cities safer. The city is responding in a way that we
are held hostage. James Shea, 45 Dearborn St., the taxpayers should
not subsidize the Museum. This will block off visitors at the parking
garage and visitor center. Tim Shea, owner of the Wax Museum, Derby
Street, stated that it unfair the way we are being treated on Derby
Street. our pedestrian traffic is being blocked off. Shawn Shea, wax
Museum, is in favor of the expansion, but we are against the plan on
the table, the discontinuance of Liberty street. Mike Shea, Wax
Museum, stated that in 1995 the expansion plan was 33,000 square feet
and they were not taking Liberty street. Now the plan is reduced but
they are taking Liberty Street and the charter street lot. I do not
support the abandonment. Richard Moore of Lafayette Street, we cannot
afford to pay any more taxes. Would like to see the Museum come
forward and be a real partner.
councillor Harvey moved that the hearing be closed. It was so
voted.
Councillor Hayes moved that the city Solicitor be requested to
compile the relevant information from the record presented at the
public hearing in order that findings of fact may be determined by
the city Council regarding the discontinuance of Liberty street. it
was so voted.

NOVEMBER 30, 2000
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
#870 (#785) - MAYOR'S VETO OF RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH AUDIT
ENGAGEMENT TEAM TO PERFORM AUDIT OF SALEM TRANSFER STATION.
A letter was received from the Mayor, submitting a Veto of Council resolution
#785, to establish an Audit Engagement Team, and conduct an Operation Audit of the
Salem Transfer Station. No action was taken on the veto for seven days under the
Charter.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith the Council Order relative to the "Audit Engagement Team,"
dated November 8, 2000, VETOED.
As you know from conversations I have had with many of you and from the
memorandum I sent the Council yesterday, I have engaged one of the premier auditing
firms in the nation, KPMG PeatMarwick, to conduct an audit of the financial and
operational issues surrounding the transfer station from 1994 to the present.
I appreciate the diligence of the Council on this issue, and am happy to report that we
are moving forward on the audit the Council suggested. I am also happy to report that
we've been able to move forward cooperatively, with so much input and direction from
Councilors. For example, we have selected the best known of the three auditing firms
from the list prepared by the Council. In addition, the scope of services the City put out
was based on the scope provided by Councilor Kimberley Driscoll and voted by the
Council at your last meeting.
Regretfully, I must however veto the order that the Council sent me relative to the audit.
As you will see from the opinion I received from the office of City Solicitor, the order,
which states "the Council ... shall hire an outside audit team," clearly violates the City
Charter and the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It suggests an
appointment and hiring function that the Council, by Charter, does not have and which
is specifically reserved for the Executive. Similarly, the suggestion that the Council
should be an equal part of a management "Team" which would direct the operations of
the audit also claims an administrative function that must, by Charter and General Law,
belong solely to the executive branch, not the legislative.
I feel strongly that we must follow our Charter and respect that bright line between
executive/administrative and legislative/oversight roles. Moreover, in this specific case,
we ought not begin to examine an old improper process by first creating a new improper
process.
630 CITY OF SALEM
NOVEMBER 30, 2000
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
However I do not want these important legal concerns to overshadow the work we have
done together on this issue - and even more importantly, the work we must do together
in the future. Even though we cannot have a joint "Audit Engagement Team," I do still
want to find appropriate ways to have full consultation with the Council throughout this
process.
To that end, you should know that I have already instructed Finance Director Bruce
Guy, who will manage the operations of the audit for the City, to consult with and to
involve the City Council, and to find appropriate ways to include members of the Council
in the process. Specifically, I have directed Bruce Guy to see to it that the Council is
and remains fully informed of the progress of the audit; that he insure that auditors be
available to meet on a periodic basis with the appropriate Councilors during the
progress of the audit; and that the Council receive the complete and full audit report as
soon as the audit is complete.
Instead of working out the final details of our consultation by letter, however, I hope we
can instead talk in person soon to work out the details of those instructions. I will invite
Councilor Joan Lovely (who is both.the Chair of the Committee on Administration and
Finance and the ward councilor where the Transfer Station is located) to meet with me
next week to discuss these steps in greater detail, and find appropriate ways that we
can work cooperatively on this matter.
In the meantime, I want to assure you that we are moving forward on the audit you have
recommended. And I also want to sincerely congratulate and thank you for your
dedication and diligence on this issue.
Sincerely,
STANLEY J. USOVICZ, JR., MAYOR
