Public Comment Pursuant to Chapter 402 of the Acts of 1965  
Legislative Affairs Sub-Committee Report  
Motion presented by Councillor Cogliandro: That the Mayor request the City  
Solicitor to provide a legal opinion regarding the interaction between Section  
2.03.050(E) of the Revere Revised Ordinances and Chapter 402 of the Acts of  
1965.  
7.

Facts:  
Section 2.03.050(E) of the Revere Revised Ordinances provides an exception to  
the City's open meeting requirements for sub-committees of the School  
Committee that meet before 5:00 p.m. Chapter 402 of the Acts of 1965 provides  
that employees of the City of Revere shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to  
be heard at any meeting of a public body concerning a matter being considered by  
the public body in which they have an interest.  
Question:  
If a sub-committee of the School Committee convenes pursuant to the exception  
set forth in Section 2.03.050(E) at a time when interested City employees are  
unable to attend due to their work schedules, would such a meeting violate  
Chapter 402 of the Acts of 1965 on the grounds that the affected employees were  
not afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard?  
Health & Human Services Sub-Committee Report  
Motion presented by Councillor Haas: That the Mayor be requested to establish a  
Medical Equipment Loan Program through Elder Affairs and Public Health  
Departments. The program would allow seniors who are in need of medical  
equipment or any resident who undergoes a procedure and is in need of  
equipment to ‘borrow’ items, such as a wheelchair, walker, transport chair,  
commode, shower bench/chair, cane, knee scooter etc. There would be no charge  
to the city - simply storage and tracking of said equipment- as well as zero cost to  
the residents who take out the equipment. The inventory and supply of equipment  
would rely solely on donated items, allowing the program to start from the ground  
up and essentially run itself over time. The program would also feature a waiver

that the resident would sign before taking the equipment home. This program  
would allow our residents easy access to items while avoiding large purchases on  
medical items especially if the resident is in need of the equipment for only a  
short period or recovery window.  
Communications  
Communication from the Election Commissioner requesting approval the  
warrants for the 2026 State Election Primary and the 2026 State Election.

Motions  
Motion presented by Councillor Guarino Sawaya: That the Mayor request the

Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and all other appropriate public safety  
agencies to immediately increase enforcement of the laws governing the operation  
of electric bicycles, electric scooters, mopeds, and bicycles on the sidewalks and  
pedestrian walkways along Revere Beach. Further, that the Mayor send a formal  
letter to the appropriate agencies requesting a coordinated enforcement initiative,  
including the issuance of citations and any other enforcement measures permitted  
by law, to address the growing number of unsafe and reckless operators who are  
placing pedestrians and motorists at risk.  
10.  
Motion presented by Councillor Guarino-Sawaya: That the Mayor request the  
Chief of Police to direct the Animal Control Officer, and in the absence of the  
Animal Control Officer, Revere Police officers, to proactively enforce all  
applicable state laws and city ordinances regarding excessive and habitual dog  
barking that disturbs the peace and quiet enjoyment of neighboring properties.  
Further, that officers be authorized to issue warnings, citations, and fines, where  
appropriate, to property owners who repeatedly allow dogs to bark continuously  
after complaints have been made, in an effort to address this ongoing  
neighborhood nuisance and improve residents’ quality of life.
