City of Springfield, Massachusetts

(Court Square Hotel Building Revitalization Project)

Ordered: That the sum of $4,000,000 is hereby appropriated to pay costs of remediating

hazardous materials, undertaking selective interior demolition and paying other ancillary costs

related to the historic renovation of the Court Square Hotel Building, such project to be

undertaken in concert with the Springfield Redevelopment Authority, and that to meet this

appropriation, the City Treasurer, with the approval of the Mayor, is authorized to borrow said

amount under and pursuant to M.G.L. c. 121B, §20, or pursuant to any other enabling authority,

and to issue bonds or notes of the City therefor. The Mayor is hereby authorized to take any and

all action necessary or convenient to accomplishing the purposes of this order. Any premium

To: Springfield City Council

From: TJ Plante, Chief Administrative & Financial Officer

Date: February 19, 2020

Re: Order for Council Meeting – 2/24/20

Cc: Mayor Sarno

Purpose: The purpose of this memo is to provide an explanation of the order sponsored

by the Mayor for the February 24, 2020 Council meeting, which authorizes the City to

pay $4,000,000.00 for the costs of remediating hazardous materials, undertaking selective

interior demolition, and paying other ancillary costs related to the historic renovation of

the Court Square Hotel Building.

Background: The City of Springfield, working in concert with the Springfield

Redevelopment Authority, plans to undertake pre-development renovations of the historic

Court Square Hotel Building. This work will include the removal of environmental

hazards from the currently derelict building.

This work is necessary for the redevelopment of the long vacant building. When this

redevelopment is completed, the building will be home to market rate housing units, and

will return to the tax rolls for the first time in many years. This historic redevelopment

project will help build on previous private and public investments in Springfield’s

downtown area, making it a more popular destination for residents to live, work, and find

entertainment.

CAFO Certification: This memorandum will confirm that in my professional opinion, as

the Chief Administrative and Financial Officer, after an evaluation of all pertinent

financial information reasonably available, that the City's financial resources and

revenues are and will continue to be adequate to support the proposed expenditures and

obligations involved in this City Council Order, without a detrimental impact on the

continuous provision of the existing level of municipal services, in accordance with

Section 2(f) of Chapter 656 of the Acts of 1989, as added by Section 1 of Chapter 468 of

the Acts of 2008.

This certification is made in accordance with Section 2(f) of Chapter 656 of the Acts of

1989, as added by Section 1 of Chapter 468 of the Acts of 2008.
