A city staff member described the transfer as a housekeeping entry “to move from our unreserved account to the open space account to fund the previous request that we just voted on.” Councilor Gamache asked about the balance in the unreserved account; staff replied the balance was $2,400,000. Councilor Gould moved the $200,000 transfer and the committee approved the motion on a roll call vote with Councilors Turco, Gould, Gamache, Manning Martin and Chair Councilor McGinn voting yes.

The action was characterized by staff as an accounting cleanup to align the unreserved CPC balance with the open space appropriation; no amendments or follow-up tasks beyond standard accounting were recorded in the meeting discussion.","The Finance Committee approved a $200,000 housekeeping transfer from the Community Preservation Act unreserved fund balance to the open space account to fund the previously approved Ross Park playground appropriation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6064287,"Committee OKs $250,000 CPC transfer for Ross Park playground upgrades, mayor says new equipment will be accessible",227,299000,526000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3256293-44867613c76d499b88b9b9853a54a622&start=299&end=526","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3256293-44867613c76d499b88b9b9853a54a622/thumbnail_299000.jpg","/articles/6064287/Peabody-City/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Committee-OKs-250000-CPC-transfer-for-Ross-Park-playground-upgrades-mayor-says-new-equipment-will-be-accessible","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6064287-6113893e6d870dd0b1091fa81629d8bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206592&Signature=PlPlf8M~tTnAzxPryszB0R05Y0RjIEMw40eeXIaMN5c5PNI9AwKdn9l0Bt3K2kGfySuIKIElgCqcyAEeDBj6Vfy39PUhAlEohMZNqbrUIGWeI9nGx~-IOyN6MBx~DP61lL7iLR7yXOZazr8NT4mQfHxNyXz4EKuwOrt3pj-SPW8Y5SsOr1Zl7cCD8t2u0t3wAF8L0o-WT8OmuDH0YBTt-bhkXYYPCJZrV4prFibpTkoYrGOnJUEUXvhstHHzJ6N6jzD7OFrLyKLquSb-U5NKKdW7tkyFtOzN2hvFKR2wPL1EESyjGOWvNWHTe6e1Y~zXjCucfjLb5PGIOuTjaeCi~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Peabody City Council Finance Committee voted 5-0 to transfer $250,000 from Community Preservation Act open space funds for playground upgrades at Ross Park, the city’s principal park.

A city staff member described the transfer as partial funding for new equipment and said the request is being combined with a bond order to complete the project. Mayor (unnamed in the transcript) said he supported the project, called Ross Park the city’s main park and said the ordered equipment was chosen to meet accessibility needs. “I want to commend Jen Davis, her team, the park and recreation commission because that was very much a part of… making sure… the new equipment… is going to meet the needs of everybody,” the mayor said, referring to the park and recreation commission’s accessibility work. The mayor said delivery is set for late June and the city’s goal is installation before July 4 or shortly thereafter.

Councilor Wellman asked specifically about accessibility for children with mobility issues; the mayor and staff confirmed accessibility was a key consideration in selecting the new equipment. Councilor Gould moved the transfer from the Community Preservation Act open space account (account number referenced in the motion) and the committee approved the motion on a roll call vote with Councilors Turco, Gould, Gamache, Manning Martin and Chair Councilor McGinn voting yes. No amendments or conditions were recorded.

The staff member noted that additional funds for the project will be part of a separate request for small capital items to be considered at a future hearing.

Committee members did not discuss details of the bond order during this session.","The Finance Committee approved a $250,000 transfer for Ross Park playground upgrades, with city leaders saying the new play equipment is designed for accessibility and is expected to arrive in late June.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6064292,"Council committee approves $958,000 CPC transfer for 46-unit low-income senior housing project",142,154000,296000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3256293-44867613c76d499b88b9b9853a54a622&start=154&end=296","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3256293-44867613c76d499b88b9b9853a54a622/thumbnail_154000.jpg","/articles/6064292/Peabody-City/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Council-committee-approves-958000-CPC-transfer-for-46-unit-low-income-senior-housing-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6064292-1f3026bcdab160eb46a1b2bd8f0c3898/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206592&Signature=Sg1S00W2eytXEecOdK4VpsuyqdAJyRsu6Slmsf~YM7GfkBM5e~NdrEyWXcKP~BKyzOP7~bDwpX-f~pT9F2mGnVFrjFQV4Kp0KxlajPI6bzJ2gH4ZtC3ri1mQaSvBDZ-vzfFUdHMmbzJY4JcMu0-lTksNNw6kC7Ccob0k71ihoRNo1AA36P9ezNvhtWW5GNrhDBbbFZZLydRMnUB9GVCzV9LgVkxdWdQUqsDn8ON9mPbc9ta-SG9pMu~F-pBxR0ZA9jpO3ARrKhcoEFzMbYgNrZhgqZEuk9UulxlTlpaztwJ9e2XqM4mfH-1ujSd8m-~AERb2Emnk-4BlOFBzysP42w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Peabody City Council Finance Committee voted 5-0 to transfer $958,000 from Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funds to support a $30,000,000 low‑income senior housing project that will add 46 rental units to the city’s subsidized housing inventory.

The transfer was presented to the committee by a city staff member as a CPC request “for $958,000 to help support a $30,000,000 project for low income senior housing,” and Councilor Gould moved the funding transfer. Councilor Gould’s motion identified the source account and the CPC affordable housing account; the committee approved the motion on a roll call vote with Councilors Turco, Gould, Gamache, Manning Martin and Chair Councilor McGinn voting yes.

The committee heard that the 46 units will be rentals and will count toward the city’s subsidized housing inventory. When asked, a city staff member said they had attended the CPC meeting where the proposal was presented and confirmed the units will be added to the subsidized housing inventory. Committee members asked whether the city’s Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) numbers were available; staff said they did not have the SHI figures on hand.

No additional conditions, amendments, or second motions were recorded during the committee discussion. The motion text and roll call were recorded in the committee minutes and the vote outcome was “motion carries 5 to 0.”

The transfer is an allocation from CPC affordable housing funds to a project the committee described as among the first larger housing transfers in recent years; committee members did not debate the project design, operating subsidy, or project timeline during this session.

The committee moved on to other agenda items after approving the transfer.","The Peabody City Council Finance Committee voted 5-0 to transfer $958,000 from Community Preservation Committee funds to help support a $30 million low-income senior housing project that will add 46 rental units to the city’s subsidized housing inventory.","actionData","errors"]
