        To the City Council
        City Hall
        Salem, Massachusetts

        Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:

        I am returning herewith Council Order #276 dated March 24, 2005 pertaining to An Ordinance to Amend and Ordinance relative to Public Notice and Availability of Information Ch. 2, Article XIV VETOED.

        I endorse the intent of the Council’s ordinance and welcome the opportunity to make further use of the city’s state of the art website Salem.com to keep our citizens informed of the operations of city government. However, several portions of the proposed ordinance raise significant concerns regarding the potential legal liability of the city, as well as the potential financial liability of the taxpayers, in the event that an otherwise legal action of a city board or agency is challenged under this ordinance. I asked the City Solicitor to propose amendments to this ordinance that will alleviate these concerns and his recommendations for specific amendments are attached. With these proposed amendments we can accomplish our mutual goal of keeping our citizens informed without creating unnecessary legal and financial liability for the taxpayers of Salem.

        Assuming the council adopts the amendments as written, I would be happy to reconsider my rejection of the ordinance. For the reasons set forth above as more fully explained in the City Solicitor’s attached memorandum, I respectfully request that the Council sustain the VETO.

                                                                        Very truly yours,

                                                                        S/ STANLEY J. USOVICZ, JR.
                                                                        MAYOR
