~ Revere City Council Roundup ~

Congratulations and Thank You

  The City Council confirmed the following appointments at their meeting this week:

Robert Selevitch appointed to the License Commission

Stephen Reardon reappointed to the Elections Commission

Bernardo Sepulveda reappointed to the Conservation Commission

James O’Brien reappointed to the Zoning Board of Appeals

Gerard Cole appointed as Constable

Sean Bruno reappointed as Constable

Special Status

  The City Council supported a motion from Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro that special municipal employee status be granted to the position of Constable since Mr. Bruno is also a full-time firefighter with the City of Revere — so as not to run afoul of the conflict-of-interest law.

Cable Bill

  The City Council approved an appropriation from the Cable Access Receipt Reserve Fund to pay RevereTV’s quarterly invoice in the amount of $82,281.49.

Do Not Block The Box

The City Council supported a Motion presented by Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya: That the Mayor request the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and all appropriate state agencies to review and approve the installation of a “Do Not Block the Box” marking on the southbound side of North Shore Road between 1090 and 1096 North Shore Road, directly in front of the Engine 5 Fire Station apparatus bay doors, in the interest of public safety and emergency response access.

Save The Date

  Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri reminded everyone that May 17 is the annual Wounded Vet Run. The event steps off at 12:30 p.m. at Boston Harley-Davidson (649 Squire Rd.) and ends at the Beachmont VFW (150 Bennington St.). Proceeds will be used to support wounded veterans with housing modifications, quality-of-life needs and other veteran support.
