Council Approves Agreements
for Proposed Battery Storage
Facility at Caddy Farm Site
By Barbara Taormina
T
he City Council approved
a host community agreement
and a pilot agreement
with Flatiron for the operation
of a proposed battery energy
storage system (BESS) at
Muzzey Street, or as some residents
may know the site, Caddy
Farm. Located along Route
1 north, the 49-acre tract
straddles Revere and Saugus
and is adjacent to the former
Weyluâ€™s restaurant site. Revereâ€™s
portion of land consists
of approximately 30 acres.

system stores electricity in rechargeable
batteries and releases
it when needed. BESS
smooths power fl uctuations
and shifts and stores energy
produced by solar and wind
systems for times when the
demand and cost of electricity
are high, helping to integrate
renewable energy sources
into the grid while reducing
electricity costs. Battery storage
systems are considered a
critical tool for utilities.
Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. said
the cityâ€™s public safety and planning
offi cials have been working
on the two agreements for
the past several months. Flatiron
plans to present the project
to the site plan review committee
for final approval later
this summer. The mayor explained
that the agreements
are entry points, or agreements,
that show Flatiron that Revere
is willing to work with them.

the Middlesex Sheriff â€™s Offi ce
on Friday, May 22, 2026, following
the completion of 13
weeks of training. A ceremony
honoring the graduates of
the 54th Basic Training Academy

from 54th BTA President
Kyle Manseau and a keynote
address by Sheriff Koutoujian.
Among the graduates
of the 54th BTA were Zagor
Souza and Dâ€™Andre Carrero
of Revere.
The recruitsâ€™ 13 weeks of
training focused on different
topics, such as implicit
bias, Mental Health First Aid,
Cognitive Behavioral Theory

Massachusetts House Passes Bills to Prevent
â€˜Hot Worksâ€™ Accidents, Increase Accountability
Bills include recommendations issued by the Walsh-Kennedy Commission
B
OSTONâ€” The Massachusetts
House of Representatives
on Wednesday passed
a pair of bills that aim to prevent
â€œhot worksâ€ accidents at
worksites and hold those responsible
accountable. â€œHot
worksâ€ accidents involve heat,
sparks, or fl ames capable of
initiating fi res or explosions.
The bills passed today are
based on the recommendations
issued by the WalshKennedy
Commission, which
was established after a ninealarm
fi re â€” ignited by sparks
from unpermitted welding
work â€” claimed the lives of
Boston Fire Department Lieutenant
Edward Walsh and
Firefi ghter Michael Kennedy.
â€œThis legislation aims to
protect workers in Massachusetts
from relaxed workplace
practices that can result
in signifi cant on the job
injuries and severe fi res that
subsequently put firefighters
in harmâ€™s way,â€ said House
Speaker Ronald J. Mariano
(D-Quincy). â€œI want to thank
Chair Michlewitz, Chair Cahill,
and Chair Ryan for their
work on this bill, as well as all
my colleagues in the House
for recognizing the importance
of these increased protections.â€
â€œBy
making these crucial reforms
we will ensure the safety
of the general public and
our first responders. I want
to thank Speaker Mariano,
Chair Ryan, Chair Cahill and
all my House colleagues for
supporting such a vital public
safety reform,â€ said Representative
Aaron Michlewitz,
Chair of the House Committee
on Ways & Means (DBoston).
â€œEvery
firefighter who responds
to an emergency does
so with the expectation that
proper safety measures have
been followed and that preventable
risks have been addressed.
The tragic loss of
Lieutenant Edward Walsh
and Firefi ghter Michael Kennedy
underscores the devastating
consequences when
that does not happen. These
bills strengthen accountability,
improve training and
oversight, and help ensure
that workers, first responders,
and the public are better
protected. While we can never
undo the loss suff ered by
their families, colleagues, and
communities, we can honor
their legacy by taking meaningful
steps to prevent a similar
tragedy from happening
again,â€ said Representative
Jessica Ann Giannino (DRevere).
â€œThese
pieces of legislation
are long overdue but will go
a long way in improving safety
for our fi rst responders and
the public. Each day I drive
along Storrow Drive I remember
Boston Fire Lt. Walsh and
FF Kennedy who died tragically
in a fi re that should never
have started. I proudly cast
my vote in support of this legislation
in their memory and
with the hope that no more
members of the fi re service
will be harmed by irresponsible
and unregulated â€œhot
worksâ€ contractors,â€ said Representative
Jeff rey Rosario
Turco (D-Winthrop).

~ OP-ED ~
Donâ€™t Let the Community Mitigation Fund Run Dry
W
hen the Legislature passed
the Expanded Gaming Act
in 2011, they made a promise:
if the Commonwealth legalized
gaming, then the impacted
communities would
not be left to handle those burdens
alone. One way they did
this was via the creation of the
Community Mitigation Fund,
which was fi nanced with 6.5%
of the revenue that the state received
from casinos. That Fund
has served as a lifeline for communities
that need to manage
the externalities of gaming.
Now that lifeline is almost extinguished.
Recent
budget decisions reallocated
new revenue for the
Fund, and its balance is now
less than $6 million, which
will be exhausted soon. Now,
grants are just 1/4 of what they
were, even as the impacts of
gaming remain. We still see increased
traffi c and accidents,
pressure on emergency services,
and the need for expanded
public health outreach. The
only thing that has changed is
the amount of money allocated.
This fi scal cliff was not inevitable.
Unless the FY27 budget
restores an adequate allocation,
communities will be left
without the support they were
promised, and which voters expect
all while still dealing with
the impact of the casinos.
Restoring the Fund doesnâ€™t
require new taxes or revenue,
or a legislative overhaul. The
dollars come from a tax collected
on the casinos, and the legislature
should reallocate the
maximum amount of funding
to the Community Mitigation
Fund. While the Governor
and Senate allocated 3% of incoming
dollars to the Fund,
the House allocated 4%. The
higher amount would partially
honor the deal made with residents
most impacted by casinos,
while also maintaining fairness
for the communities that
host casinos and experience
the greatest impact.
To understand what is at
stake, you need only look at
how these dollars are used. Last
year, 26 municipalities received
grants ranging from $49,900
(Attleboro) to nearly $2.8 million
(Springfi eld). Regional entities
also rely on these dollars,
including the Hampden and
Suff olk County District Attorneyâ€™s
Offices, MassHire Metro
North, and several regional
planning agencies. These are
not abstract dollars; they represent
essential investments in
safety, infrastructure, economic
vitality, and public health that
could soon disappear.
Public safety is among the
most critical uses. Cambridge,
Chelsea, Malden, and Somerville
rely on the Fund to support
traffi c enforcement. Boston,
Chelsea, and Everett use it
to cover overtime and salaries
for emergency service providers.
Revere has purchased lifesaving
AEDs, while Medford
and Cambridge have implemented
de-escalation training
for fi rst responders. Some communities
are even completing
long-needed roadway safety
improvements that would otherwise
be delayed.
The Fund also advances major
infrastructure projects that
strengthen regional mobility.
In Boston, it supports the construction
of a missing link in the
Harborwalk. In Revere, it funds
a bicycle connection linking the
casino to Revere Beach, which
improves safety and sustainability
for workers and visitors
alike. Funds have even supported
the design of a new head
house and pedestrian bridge
at Assembly Square, that will
open the door to accessible
MBTA service for Everett.
These dollars further economic
development, too, driving
people to small business
and arts venues via wayfi nding
signs and the promotion of cultural
events. Municipalities invest
funds in training for small
business owners and employees.
In Chelsea, for example, the
Bunker Hill Enterprise Center
is helping entrepreneurs build
skills in hospitality, recruitment,
and business innovation. Cambridge
uses these funds to promote
cultural events; Chelsea
expanded its tourism campaigns;
and Medford is modernizing
the Chevalier Theatre,
which serves as the cultural
heart of Medford Square.
The Fund works to keep our
region healthy by expanding
outreach around gambling-related
harm. Melrose has even
used it to connect seniors with
new programming, transportation,
and entertainment opportunities
that combat isolation
and bolster quality of life
at their senior center.
Reducing funding will not
make the challenges of hosting
a casino disappear. It will
only strip municipalities of the
resources they use to manage
them responsibly. While
federal funding seems uncertain
and local budgets are
stretched thin, limiting this
support would stymie critical
projects and undermine public
safety.
Protecting the Community
Mitigation Fund is a matter
of fairness and good policy.
It is time to restore its funding
source to keep the promise
made in 2011. Our communities
deserve nothing less.

ics Team, emphasizing that
teamwork, disciplined problem-solving
and performing
under pressure are the same
competencies needed to execute
high-stakes missions. He
encouraged the students by
drawing a direct parallel between
their national championship
project and the meticulous,
collaborative eff ort required
for spacefl ight recovery,
and noted how ROTC robotics
and drone experience fostered
the skills that translate to realworld
mission success.
Several Revere High students
spoke of their experience
meeting with Link:
Izabelly Alves Dos
Santos (XO)
â€œIt was a really great experience.
He was very humble
about everything heâ€™d done,
and I really appreciated that
about him. Knowing he was
part of a high school robotics
team and seeing where he is
now was inspiring. Being part
of Revere Highâ€™s JROTC Robonerds
team it reminded me
to stay committed to what
I care about and to where I
come from.â€
Radley Lekuku (CSM)
â€œIt was honestly really inspiring.
Heâ€™s super humble
despite everything heâ€™s done.
What stuck with me most was
him talking about being proud
of where you come from and
staying ready for opportunities
when they show up. He
also mentioned how being on
a robotics team helped him
in real missions because of
the critical thinking skills you
build. Hearing about his role in
the astronaut rescue was crazy
in a good way, and it made me
think about my Robo Nerds
team and how those same
skills really matter.â€
Lesly Mendoza (S1)
â€œMeeting Vlad Link was truly
inspiring. Knowing that someone
from Chelsea had the opportunity
to contribute to Artemis
II and be part of a robotics
team reminded me why
I joined robotics in the first
place. He showed me that anything
is possible when you believe
in yourself and stay committed
to your goals. What
stood out to me the most was
how proud he was of where he

came from. He didnâ€™t shy away
from his community, instead,
he represented it with confi -
dence. That made me realize
that I want to do more, not just
for myself but for my community
as well. He also emphasized
never giving up on yourself
and continuing to push
forward, no matter the challenges.
That message stuck
with me, and it motivates me
to take on new challenges and
keep striving for success.â€
Meyson Garcia (S3)
â€œMeeting Vlad Link was an
amazing opportunity. Knowing
that he too was a part of
a robotics team and knowing
what he was able to achieve
though his hard work and
dedication was really inspiring.
He mentioned that his experience
with robotics helped
with his critical thinking skills
and how those skills helped
him to accomplish his missions,
which reminded me
of how our robo-nerds team
had to use our critical thinking
skills to successfully accomplish
our missions during our
competitions. He was also very
proud about being from Chelsea
never shying away from
that fact, it reminded me that I
too should take pride in being
a part of the Revere community
and represent it with the
same level of pride as he did.â€
Marc Silvestri,
Ombudsperson at the
Chelsea Veteransâ€™ Home
â€œWe were thrilled when Chief
Corpsman Link announced he
would be visiting the home.
Knowing he had once been
on a robotics team, it struck
us as the perfect opportunity
to connect our local JROTC
championsâ€”who recently
won national championships
in robotics and dronesâ€”with
him. The idea of the students
meeting Chief Coleman Link
was something they would
remember forever. I asked the
Secretary, and he agreed that
it would be a meaningful experience
for the students. He
supported the idea, and the
students clearly enjoyed the
opportunity. Watching a local
Navy hero on TV who retrieved
astronauts is now standing in
front of them and saying, â€˜I
lived right there and you can
be me.â€™ It was a powerful message
from Chief Link.â€

Richard Griffi nâ€™s memorial pole is beside one for his father, John, who served in World War II.
Mayor Patrick Keefe said Griffi n
had three bronze service stars
while serving in Vietnam.
Brother-in-law Anthony DeMarco
said Griffin had 25 air
strikes, came home to an ungrateful
nation, worked at the
South Boston Post Offi ce and
died of leukemia, resulting
from Agent Orange.

make sure the cityâ€™s conditions
on fi nancing and public safety
are met.
Mayor Keefe said the value
of the two agreements is
$43 million over 20 years. He
added that the property on
Muzzey Street currently generates
$75,000 in property taxes.
If or when the facility begins operating,
in the fi rst year the city
will collect $600,000 through
the community host agreement
and $1.6 million through the pilot
agreement. The community
host agreement calls for investment
in fi re apparatus and training,
deposits to the high school
stabilization fund and modest
investments to support energy
sustainability in the city. Flatiron
has also agreed site will be 100
percent union labor built.
â€œWe worked to make sure we
are getting the maximum benefi
t,â€ said Keefe. â€œWe pushed the
envelope as much as we could.â€
The BESS, like solar structures,
is understood to be protected
under the stateâ€™s Dover Amendment,
which means it could be
developed by right without
any restrictions from the city.
Keefe urged the council to approve
the agreements before
state law makes them ineff ective.
Neighboring communities
are also looking at BESS facilities
and their potential benefi ts.
Captain Kevin Oâ€™Hara of the
Revere Fire Department, president
of fi refi ghtersâ€™ union 926,
spoke in favor of the BESS system
during the public comment
segment of the City Council
meeting. Oâ€™Hara said he was
initially opposed to the project
because of several BESS failures
he had read about. But after
months of research, conversations
with fi rst responders
who deal with BESS systems
and a stint of training in
Nevada, Oâ€™Hara said, he is confi
dent that local fi refi ghters can
provide adequate public safety
for the neighborhood and the
city. Oâ€™Hara said BESS systems
have evolved signifi cantly over
the past few years, particularly
in regard to safety and emergency
responses.
Residents Michael Morgan
and Brian Singer also spoke in
favor of the project, with Singer
calling it â€œmodern, green and
economical.â€
Councillor-at-Large Michelle
Kelley acknowledged the work
that went into the agreements
and the benefi ts secured for the
city, but she had questions and
recommendations. Kelley requested
a site-specifi c plume
dispersion modeling and associated
emergency response
planning be prepared to evaluate
smoke and potential airborne
contaminant impacts under
various scenarios. The tests
will give fi rst responders and
the public a clear understanding
of the impacts and response
measures.
Kelley also proposed that
$60,000 per year for 15 years
be set aside to assist senior and
moderate-income residents
with water and sewer bills. Kelley
also recommended a onetime
$100,000 donation to support
programs and services at
the senior center.
She also called for a neighborhood
benefi t contribution for
the Ward 6 neighborhood. â€œGiven
the size, location and anticipated
duration of this facility, I
respectfully suggest a one-time
neighborhood benefi t contribution
of $500,000.â€
â€œFunds could be used for park
improvements, pedestrian and
sidewalk enhancements, recreational
facilities, beautifi cation
projects, environmental improvements
or other community
needs,â€ she said. â€œThe neighborhood
will bear the brunt of
the construction, traffic and
trucks,â€ she said. â€œI would love
it if this could at least be entertained.â€
Kelley
also said Flatiron needs
to meet with the council and
provide a full presentation of
the project. She did not vote to
approve the community host
agreement and the pilot agreement,
she voted present. She
said she felt it was important
to hear from Flatiron before approving
the agreements.
Ward 6 Councillor Chris
Gianinno agreed there needs
to be a community meeting
presenting the project to the
public. Giannino said new technology
can be scary and a public
meeting would dispel any
misinformation residents are
gathering from dubious online
sources.
â€œFlatiron wants to hold a
meeting in the neighborhood,â€
Keefe said. â€œThey can get to
the council as soon as the July
meeting. They want to be part
of our community.â€
If Flatiron continues through
the permitting process as
planned, it will be about two
years before the BESS system is
up and running.

Revere Board of Health Weighs Ban on Kratom Sales
By Barbara Taormina
T
he Board of Health recently
held a public hearing on
a proposed ordinance to ban
the sale of kratom in Revere.
Kratom comes from the leaves
of a tropical evergreen tree native
to Southeast Asia. People
chew the leaves or crush and
brew them into tea for pain relief
and mood enhancement. In
low doses, kratom can function
as a stimulant, increasing energy,
and in higher doses it acts
as a sedative, helping users feel
calmer and less anxious.
It has also been used for pain
management, and some people
have used kratom to ease
opioid withdrawal symptoms.
However, kratomâ€™s effectiveness
in reducing opioid cravings
has not been thoroughly
evaluated.
Director of Public Health Lauren
Buck has warned that kratom
products available in the
United States are both synT

School held its annual
7th and 8th grade rock concert.
Students set up in different

played throughout the show.

it all. Watch it on the Community

The 9th Annual Revere
Beach Kite Festival was initially
postponed but rescheduled
on a day with beautiful
weather: last Sunday. This
event is put on by the Revere
Beach Partnership. The
thetic and natural. Synthetic
formulations produced in labs
are more concentrated and potent
than the natural leaf kratom
used in traditional medicine
in Southeast Asia. Buck
said that in high amounts kratom,
which is not approved nor
regulated by the Federal Drug
Administration, can be dangerous.
She has talked about side
eff ects: confusion, nausea, itching,
sweating, dry mouth and
constipation. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, kratom is responsible
for 91 deaths, and the Drug
Enforcement Administration issued
a public health advisory
in 2017 that identifi ed kratom
as a drug of concern.
Claire Inzerillo, a policy writer
with the city solicitorâ€™s offi
ce, outlined three options the
board had in relation to a kratom
ordinance. Inzerillo said
the board could do nothing
and wait to see the result of
three pending bills in the state
legislature aimed at regulating
kratom. The board could also
approve a blanket ban on kratom
sales. Inzerillo did stress
that nothing was permanent
and a ban could be changed if
more studies and information
supported a change. Inzerillo
also described a third option,
a 50/50 approach, which
would ban the sale of synthetic
kratom but would allow retailers
to stock natural leaf kratom.
However, she said enforcing
this type of ban would be
diffi cult because packaging is
not always clear.
She said retailers would be
notifi ed of the ban ahead of
its implementation. That grace
period would give shops time
to adjust to any disruption.
There is also a fi ne schedule
included in the ordinance for
any business that fails to comply
with a ban.

F
dents spoke either in favor or
against the ban on kratom.
There were 15 letters to the
board about the kratom ban.
One was in favor of eliminating
kratom in Revere, while 14
residents opposed the ban on
kratom sales.
Allison Smith, the director
of government aff airs for the
global kratom coalition, acknowledged
there are serious
issues with synthetic kratom
that need to be addressed.
However, she also said there
have been thousands of studies
on kratom and adverse effects
are extremely rare. According
to Smith, 23 million
Americans use kratom safely.
Bunker said he had a family
friend who recently died
from a kratom overdose. Bunker
said he assumed it was synthetic
kratom. â€œAt this point in
time, we do not know the potency
of kratom products. It is
not FDA regulated. We need to
do something. We need to act.
Lives are at stake. No one from
Revere has commented on
the ban. No one is against kratom.
If anything, we have proponents.
But I cannot, in good
conscience, allow kratom to be
sold in Revere. Revere is our priority,â€
said Bunker.
Board members Kathleen
Savage and Viviana Catano
agreed Revere was their priority
and the risks associated with
synthetic kratom could not be
ignored.
The board will vote on the
proposed kratom ban at their
next meeting, on June 26,
with regular kratom users selfreporting
using less than 6g
of botanical kratom per consumption,
per several recent
studies. An estimated 1.7 million
Americans aged 12 and
older used kratom in 2021,
according to the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administrationâ€™s National
Survey on Drug Use and
Health.

Early College
Program Helps Students
Earn Credits, Save
Thousands
By Barbara Taormina
L
illian Parker, director of the
guidance department at Revere
High School, met with the
School Committee at their meeting
this week to present the latest
news from the districtâ€™s early
college program. The program
lets students earn college credits
while still in high school with
classes off ered through a partnership
with North Shore Community
College. Students earn
credits that typically transfer to
other colleges and universities.
Students can start in sophomore
year and take a mix of college and
high school courses that provide
a head start on college careers.
Professors visit the high school
campus for classes, and students
travel to the Lynn and Danvers
campuses of North Shore. The
program exposes students to
college-level work, allows them
to explore diff erent majors and
pathways and saves students and
families money and time.
The program pays for everything
students need, such as textbooks,
calculators or lab equipment.
Parker said the program
is looking at the possibility of offering
fi nancial aid. According to
Parker, students in the early college
program save about $6,000
a year and are seven times more
likely to enroll and attend college.
Parker divided the students in
the early college program into
three groups: searchers, savers
and strivers. Searchers have a
chance to learn about diff erent
degree programs, what it takes
to succeed and what credentials
they will provide. Savers are students
hoping to trim the daunting
cost of college, and strivers
are working to bump up their
transcripts with college courses.
This year, 56 students earned 12
or more college credits through
the program. Among those students,
24 were included on the
deanâ€™s list. Parker said, collectively,
those students saved
themselves and their families
$390,000.
Parker brought along two students
who received a head start
in Salem Stateâ€™s nursing program
through early college. Both students
said early college helped
them decide on a major. It also
helped with simpler things, such
as managing time and learning
the way around campus.
Like everyone who heard the
presentation, School Committee
Chairman Mayor Patrick Keefe
was impressed, and he told the
two students they had made
their families proud. He then
urged them to go out and make
themselves proud.

Dear Savvy Senior,
Can men get osteoporosis
or is it mostly a problem
for women? When I fell and
broke my wrist last winter,
the ER doctor told me I might
have osteoporosis, but I never
followed up. What can you
tell me?
--Almost 70
Dear Almost,
A lot of people think osteoporosis
is only a womenâ€™s issue,
but men can get it too â€”
especially as they get older.
And like women, men often
donâ€™t realize they have it until
a bone breaks.
Osteoporosis is often
called a silent disease because
it weakens bones over
time, making them thin, brittle
and more likely to break,
usually without any warning
signs. While women are
about four times more likely
to develop it, men arenâ€™t
immune. About 2 million
American men have osteoporosis,
and another 12 million
have low bone density,
known as osteopenia, which
can eventually progress to
the disease.
One of the biggest problems
is that men are less likely
to be tested. Even after
a fracture like yours, many
never get a bone density
scan. Doctors sometimes
overlook it in men, and men
themselves may not realize
theyâ€™re at risk. The bones
most often aff ected are the
hip, spine and wrist, and hip
Do Men Get Osteoporosis?
Prevention
fractures in particular can
lead to serious complications
and long recoveries.
Who is at risk
In women, menopause
speeds up bone loss. In men,
it usually happens more gradually,
but age is still a major
factor. Your risk rises if you are
over 70, thin or underweight,
smoke, drink heavily, have a
parent with osteoporosis or
have already broken a bone,
as you have.
Certain medical conditions
can also increase your risk.
These include rheumatoid
arthritis, celiac disease, low
testosterone, overactive thyroid,
COPD and kidney or liver
disease. Neurological conditions
such as Parkinsonâ€™s
disease, multiple sclerosis or
a past stroke can raise the risk
because they aff ect balance
and mobility. Long term use
of corticosteroids, some prostate
cancer treatments, acid
refl ux drugs, antidepressants
and anti-seizure medications
can weaken bones too.
Testing
A smart next step is a bone
density test. All men 70 and
older should talk to their doctor
about being screened.
Men over 50 whoâ€™ve had a
fracture or have other risk
factors should get tested
too. The scan is simple, painless
and takes only a few minutes.
Medicare and most private
insurance plans usually
cover it.
When it comes to protecting
your bones, the basics really
matter. Get enough calcium
from foods like low fat
milk, yogurt and cheese, leafy
green vegetables, beans, almonds
and canned salmon
or sardines. Men under 70
need about 1,000 milligrams
a day. Those 71 and older
need 1,200 milligrams.
Vitamin D is just as important
because it helps your
body absorb calcium. Most
adults over 50 need 800 to
1,000 international units daily,
through sunlight, food
or a supplement if needed.
Regular weight bearing exercise
such as walking, along
with strength training two
or three times a week, helps
build and maintain bone. It
also improves balance, which
can prevent falls. You should
also avoid smoking, and limit
alcohol and caff eine.
Treatment
If testing shows signifi cant
bone loss, medications such
as Fosamax, Actonel, Reclast,
Prolia, Forteo or Tymlos
may be prescribed. Your
doctor can explain the benefi
ts and possible side eff ects
and help you decide what is
appropriate.
Since you have already had
a fracture, this is not something
to ignore. A simple test
and a plan now could help you
stay strong and avoid a more
serious break down the road.

1998 to earn this honor after
leading the GBL in most pitching
categories, including wins
(7), strikeouts (74) and innings
pitched (61 2/3) and was third

(23 stolen bases) and
was regarded as the best outfi
elder defensively, throwing
fi ve runners out of the bases
(two at fi rst, two at third, one

~ REVERE CIT Y COUNCIL ROUNDUP ~
By Th e Advocate
Happy Birthday,
Bill Reedy
T
he City Council opened
their meeting this week
by awarding a certificate of
commendation to Bill Reedy
in recognition of his 90th
birthday.
â€œBill was recently honored
by Mystic Valley Elder Services
for his commitment
to the senior center and the
city,â€ said Councillor-at-Large
Robert Haas, who cosponsored
the motion for a commendation
with Councillorat-Large
Marc Silvestri. â€œHe
is an inspiration to me and
all the people at the senior
center.â€
Haas also noted Reedy was
the â€œking of Bocce.â€ Silvestri
said that when he was director
of veteransâ€™ services,
he would go to the office
and see Reedy sitting quietly
in a chair. He asked if
Reedy worked there and was
told â€œsort of.â€ Reedy helped
vets out with whatever they
needed.
â€œThe amount of effort he
put into this city everyday
was incredible,â€ said Silvestri.
Underground
parking approved
T
he City Council held a
public hearing and voted
unanimously to grant a
Chapter 148 license to 596
Raymond, LLC, New York,
to enable the applicant to
park five motor vehicles underneath
the multi-unit residential
building at 13 Nahant
Ave. Proponents said
the license would alleviate
traffic from drivers circling
the neighborhood searching
for parking and would
free up scarce parking spaces.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky
said it was for a new
apartment house, and the
developer did a great job.
The spaces will be designated
to specific tenants as part
of their lease.
Towing business
on North Shore Road
T
he City Council held a
public hearing on the application
of 128 Towing & Recovery,
LLC, 885 North Shore
Road, requesting a special
permit to enable the appellant
to conduct a towing and
roadside assistance operations
business at 885 North
Shore Road in Revere. Siham
Fatmi wants to use the
site to park five tow trucks
and typically about 20 cars
that have been towed. He
said he just wants to run a
small business. City councillors
asked questions about
trucks parked on North
Shore Road, which they said
is a public safety concern.
They also asked about the
proximity of the business
to a salt marsh. The council
referred the application to
the Zoning Subcommittee
for review.
Cityâ€™s FY27
Budget approved
O
n a favorable recommendation
from the Ways and
Means Subcommittee, the
City Council approved the
cityâ€™s Fiscal Year 2027 operating
budget. The Ways
and Means Subcommittee
spent two days meeting
with department heads and
combing through their individual
budgets. Big-ticket
items include the police
department budget at
$15,364,103, the fire department
at $15,754,264
and the school department
at $137,895,193. Total appropriations
and enterprise
funds were $297,566,963.
The grand total of all appropriated
and non-appropriated
expenditures was
$322,660,944.
No fireworks
C
ity councillors supported
a motion from Councillor-at-Large
Joanne McKenna
that Constituent Services
issue a reverse 911 call
to all residents reminding
them that fireworks are illegal
and a fire hazard, due to
the proximity of homes in
the city, and negatively impact
individuals with certain
medical conditions and pets.
Whatâ€™s the story
about water bills
T
he City Council supported
a motion from Councillor-at-Large
Joanne McKenna
that officials from the
MWRA meet with the City
Council to discuss the six
percent increase in its assessment
to the city, which
was passed on to ratepayers.
All Revere voices
welcome
C
ouncillor-at-Large Anthony
Cogliandro and
City Council President Anthony
Zambuto presented
a motion to amend Rule 34,
which governs the public
comment segment of council
meetings, to include employees
of the city. At the last
council meeting, the audience
was taken aback when
Zambuto refused to allow
Jane Chapin, president of
the Revere Teachers Association,
to talk about the school
budget because she is not
a Revere resident or Revere
business owner. Proposed
amendments to the rules of
order are automatically laid
on the table until the next
meeting.
Nighttime patrols
for Graves Road
and Pitcairn Street
C
ity councillors supported
a motion presented by
Ward 3 Councillor Anthony
Cogliandro that the Chief of
Police increase patrols overnight
in the area of Graves
Road and Pitcairn Street.
Residents in the area are experiencing
theft on their
properties. A neighborhood
watch has been established.
