Upon recommendation of Mayor Sciarra
23.383 An Order to Appropriate $30,000 from Stabilization to Define Extent of Contamination at 33 King Street
Whereas, the City has undertaken a Phase I and a Phase II Environmental Site assessment of 33 King Street prior to taking ownership of the property from the Commonwealth; and
Whereas, the results of this site assessment generally identified one area of contamination on site for which a construction protocol and response will need to be developed; and
Whereas, these initial findings did not result in defining the outer limits of the contamination and those limits may go off site; and
Whereas, prospective developers may consider it too risky to bid on a project without knowing the full extent of the geographic boundaries of such contamination.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that
the City Council appropriates $30,000 from the General Stabilization Fund (5000 340574) for the purposes of further investigation of the extent of contamination at 33 King Street.
