We must prioritize not only the creation of more green space, but the improvement of those areas we already have. Somerville has done an admirable job of this over the past twenty years – the availability of CPA funding allows us to do even more. TELEPHONE: (617)666-8200 Similarly, we are dedicating 15% of our budget to historic preservation projects. We are fortunate to have historic landmarks, homes, and artifacts within our Fax: (617)776-5435 borders. Until now, we have not had adequate resources to preserve them. With the availability of CPA money, we hope to protect these resources for genera- EMAIL: [email protected] tions to come. We have set aside a full 20% – at least $930,000 this year – as an unrestricted reserve to supplement, if appropriate, projects in the three focus areas. While we 424 BROADWAY are not required to spend this reserve during this year, it is helpful to be able to fund specific, worthy projects that go above and beyond the already-budgeted amount. We expect to direct this money mostly toward open space and historic projects, in light of our high initial commitment to affordable housing. The SOMERVILLE, MA money that is not spent this year will be saved for projects in future years. Finally, up to 5% of the budget, or up to $230,000, may be used for administrative 02145 costs – paying for a much-needed historic preservation plan, due diligence on project proposals , and our staff person’s salary. Unspent administrative funding will also be devoted to projects in future years. We look forward to hearing your ideas for new projects and working with you to make Somerville a better place to live for all of us. Sincerely, Michael A.

STYROFOAM BAN ENFORCEMENT IN EFFECT, INFORMATION SENT TO BUSINESSES Information about alternative products provided as City begins enforcement of ordi- nance SOMERVILLE – Somerville restaurants and food-related businesses were sent a letter and fact sheet in August detailing the City’s ban on the commercial use of expanded polystyrene, commonly known as Styrofoam or foam, along with information about al- ternative products those businesses can use and the penalties for violating the ordinance that are now in effect. The ban affects restaurants, delis, food trucks and other food-related businesses, which are no longer allowed to use Styrofoam for cups, plates and carry-out containers. Al- ternatives include paper and cardboard, plastic, aluminum, biodegradable plastics and compostable materials. Businesses are being encouraged to contact their current vendors to see what alternative options are available. Many businesses in Somerville have already transitioned to foam container alternatives, and all are required to comply. Beginning Oct. 1, Inspectional Services (ISD) will inspect for the use of prohibited foam food containers during pre-operational inspections, routine inspections and during food license renewals. A first violation of the foam ban will result in a warning, a second vio- lation will result in a $100 fine, and third and subsequent violations will result in a $300 fine. The Board of Aldermen unanimously passed the polystyrene ban ordinance in May 2013 prohibiting Somerville restaurants and food establishments from using polystyrene, which is not biodegradable or easily recyclable and contains an ingredient on the U.S. Department of Health’s list of carcinogens. Governor Patrick and Joe with Curtatones 1 of 4 sons. Mayor Curtatone said “Somerville’s Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.” “The City of Somerville is sharing in the commitment to reduce foam use—this year, Somerville Public Schools stopped using expanded polystyrene trays to serve meals,” Celebrating The New Orange Line Station at Assembly Square said Oliver Sellers-Garcia, City Director of Sustainability and Environment. “We look forward to working with our local businesses and encourage them to reach out with any questions they may have, so they can transition to other materials for their business.” “The Board of Aldermen passed this ordinance last year because of the impact expanded polystyrene has on our personal health and the health of the environment,” said Ward 6 Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz, chairwoman of the Board of Aldermen’s Legislative Matters subcommittee. “Our local businesses have been great partners with the City in reduc- ing our impact on the environment, increasing our recycling and making Somerville a healthier city for all, and I know they will partner with us on this initiative too to rid our city of polystyrene.” For more information about the foam ban and the fee schedule for violations in Somer- ville, please visit http://www.somervillema.gov/styrofoam, call 311 or contact the Of- Before the ribbon cutting there was an orange soda toast to the Orange Line at Assembly Square! fice of Sustainability and Environment at 617-625-6600 ext. 5070.
