Powers said he urged the development team to hold a neighborhood meeting to share the plan with residents. Those who attended the meeting learned that the development would have 24 beds for homeless people and those returning from detox. Residents were also told that it is a development being done by right and there was nothing the neighborhood could do to stop it. “I told the attorney I wanted a meeting and they had a meeting down at Santorini’s,” said Powers, adding that because of the meeting some residents assumed he was in favor of the development. “I would never be in favor of putting a homeless shelter there,” said Powers, who also mentioned the support he had given Oak Island, particularly with fl ooding and drainage issues. “I’ll work with the city’s legal department to stop this project,” HOUSING | SEE Page 18 781-286-8500 Friday, February 10, 2023 City Council subcommittee weighs in on new High School funding debate By Barbara Taormina T he City Council Ways and Means Subcommittee was back at the table trying to understand how the city will pay for a desperately needed new high school. Committee members are starting back at the site with questions about the diff erence in cost for building on the existing site or Wonderland, which the city has taken by eminent domain. This triggered a heated exchange between City Council President Patrick Keefe and other councillors who wanted more information. Keefe said the decision on the site and the taking of Wonderland are done and the committee should be focused on how to pay for the school over the next 10 to 15 years. He challenged other councillors who don’t want to move forward at Wonderland to stand up and say they don’t want a new school. And he said work was already done that shows building on the existing site will cost more money – $16 million – Housing Families to honor Mayor Arrigo at Annual Legislative Breakfast Special to Th e Advocate T he Housing Families Legislative Breakfast has named their 2023 Honoree Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo for increasing shelter opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness in the region by launching Revere’s Warming Center.

Part of the problem at the existing site is it’s not known what’s in the ground under the building. Keefe said there is no need to go over the numbers of building at the existing site. But Councillor Gerry Visconti said since the Wonderland vote, the council was thrown a number of $499 million for the building, which puts the site in play. Brian Dakin, senior project manager for the high school building project, said the total cost for a school at the current site would be signifi cantly more than a school at Wonderland. “Going back to the existing site is going to cost you time and maybe $30 to $35 million more,” Dakin told the committee. City Solicitor Paul Capizzi was at the meeting to answer questions about the eminent domain taking. He was asked if he could guarantee the $29.5 million cost for the land. Capizzi said he couldn’t make any guarantees about what might happen if the case goes to court. He did say the city took the site in good faith and would be able to sell it if the high school switched back to the existing site. Councillors have been torn between the knowledge that the city needs a new high school and the idea it would be unfair to ask taxpayers to pick up the bill for the building. The School Building Committee is scheduled to meet this week, and cost cutting or value engineering are on the agenda.

The ordinance seeks to limit drivers on the road and traffi c by encouraging other modes of transportation, such as bicycles and public transit. However, Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith saw it a bit differently. “I see TDM as one thing and zoning as another,” Smith said. “It’s not about parking or traffi c, but it’s about what the city wants to see.” Smith thinks it should be relevant to the districts that Costa brought up, but she feels that dwelling districts should be excluded from the ordinance, taking out some of the ones that are zoned incorrectly. Her idea would be effective in spring 2024 to accommodate the developers that are already in progress. Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon warned of cross debating, adding that everything must be directed toward Legislative Aff airs Subcommittee Chair Michael Marchese. The ordinance would require eight councillors’ votes to pass. Marchese was on board with Smith’s vision of excluding dwelling units. He added that height restrictions based on surrounding buildings are important so nothing looks out of place. The subcommittee will discuss this at the next Legislative Aff airs Subcommittee meeting on Thursday, March 2 at 6 p.m., and during next week’s Committee of the Whole meeting at 7 p.m., both at City Hall. ~LETTER TO THE EDITOR~ Don't Build the Voke on Hilltop Site A n open letter to the members of the Northeast Metro Tech Building Committee, I am writing as a constituent in a Northeast Metro Tech sending community. I was at the Wakefi eld town meeting where the Town approved building the new Voke, and I proudly cast my vote in support at that time. I was entirely unaware in casting that vote that the siting had already been decided on by your committee in contradiction to the recommendations in the pre-feasibility study. I do everything I can to be an informed voter. I attend info sessions, read the materials that are made available, and am an active participant at Town Meetings. Yet despite all that I did not know that my vote was a vote in favor of building on the hilltop site. I believe that if voters, despite being earnestly involved and informed, were unable to tell that this siting was part and parcel of our vote to approve funding for the new NEMT, that vote should be considered illegitimate. This experience has genuinely damaged my trust in the NEMT Building Committee and in our legislative process. Regarding the siting itself I will say that my top two concerns are the preservation of habitat and the biosphere, and the protection of Native American land and history. Destroying a mature forest is irreparable. Destroying Native land and history is a facet of the ongoing genocide that is perpetrated against Native Americans to this day. Though I am guessing the decision making process thus far has followed the letter of the law and that the NEMT Building Committee can proceed with its plan to build on the hilltop site with impunity. I am picturing a lot of conversations or personal moments that include sentiments like “but we followed the procedures correctly. Each town voted yes.” Or “the decision is already made, the process has moved on, we can’t go back now.” While these things may be true, the decision to build on the hilltop site is nevertheless morally indefensible. I fi rmly believe that there is always more than one solution to a problem. So though it might be complicated, though it might require additional time or studies, whatever the challenges may be, it is possible to build on a diff erent site. It is within your power to move the NEMT building project forward in a way that refl ects the values of the sending communities. Please use your positions on the NEMT Building Committee to choose a diff erent site for the new Voke, not the hilltop site.

This week, the city council unanimously approved a $350,000 loan order for drainage planning and design and $1.5 million for drainage system improvements. Chief of Infrastructure and Engineering Don Ciarmella explained that the city has 4,500 catch basins which, oddly, are all connected, saying that one clog can aff ect the whole system. Ciarmella said the money for planning would allow engineers to develop ways to correct that and other problems that cause continual fl ooding throughout the city. Chief Financial Offi cer Richard Viscay urged the council to approve the bonding. He told the councillors the upgrades were included in the city’s capital plan and the improvements are needed. The work will be covered by the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. The council also approved a $6 million loan order for water main improvements. Ciarmella said the upgrades were needed to address improvements that were deferred for years. The upgrades will improve service to homeowners and to ensure the fi re department would have adequate water in case of a fi re. Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo asked Viscay for an estimate of how the improvements would aff ect rate payers. “We have to convey clean fresh water to residents, I just want to know what the impact is,” said Rizzo who added the city is spending millions on water and sewer infrastructure because of the consent decree to improve sewers and drainage. “It’s not a matter of the price tag, it’s a matter of people’s ability to pay,” said Rizzo. Viscay said he would provide an estimate to how much residents will be billed for the work. “I think this is absolutely money well spent,” Ciarmella told the council.

On Feb. 16, 2005, what pro sports league cancelled its season due to a labor disagreement? vowed Powers, who suggested using the McKinley School as an alternative site. Powers also said that petitions opposing the project that were going around were being circulated for political reasons. “I suspect they want to run for a seat on the council,” said Powers. According to Atty. Gerry D’Ambrosio, the facility being proposed is not a sober house or a detox facility, but restorative housing for homeless people with mental health issues. “The goal is to provide psychiatric care, drug counseling when needed, and vocational training, where they can get treatment and allow them to better their lives,” stated the attorney. According to past police reports by Oak Island residents, there are homeless people currently living by the railroad tracks in an encampment behind Arcadia Street. “There’s a screening process for admission where every participant must be vetted for any criminal background and will provide 100% preference for Revere residents,” said the attorney. City Council President Patrick Keefe told the emotional audience that the issue was not in front of the council. He also explained that the Dover Amendment, a state law, exempts agricultural, religious and educational developments from zoning requirements and regulations. “All 11 of us have zero say in this,” said Keefe. “I’d love to have your voices heard, but understand this is not a council issue.” Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto agreed negotiating with the developer is the best way forward. “We can’t solve this issue unless we can convince the developer to take a diff erent track,” said Zambuto, adding that he is not optimistic. One Arcadia Street resident summed up the feelings of the neighborhood. “We agree Revere needs this type of facility but not in a densely settled residential neighborhood,” he told the council. In the Spring of 2022, the proposed project, which consists of one-third of an acre of land, was originally proposed for four residential townhouses and a marina which was eventually shot down by the residents. A resident who lives close by the site at 51 Arcadia St. said it feels like the buck is being passed. He said the building inspector and the zoning board can reject the project. “And when the city is sued, I expect the city to fi ght for us,” he said. Ned Almeida of 40 Arcadia St. said that over the past few years the neighborhood has gotten younger and is now full of children who are always outside. “A facility like this is a good idea somewhere, but our neighborhood is not set up for it,” said Almeida. “You don’t have a vote, but I would like to hear you have our backs. It would make us more powerful.” Doug Brecker of 15 Arcadia St., who is also a developer, said residents could take a stand with a legal challenge. He off ered to spearhead that challenge and invited neighbors to join him. “You can fi le litigation and I hope you get what you want,” said Keefe. “They will have to follow reasonable building and zoning requirements, but the Dover Amendment allows them to do this,” said Keefe. “You asked for the support of the City Council. We can’t retaliate, but we can pick up the phone and say, ‘Is this the best idea?’” The council voted unanimously in favor of having D’Ambrosio come to a meeting to discuss the project. Councillors also unanimously approved Rizzo’s motion to send a letter to D’Ambrosio outlining the objections to the project.
