Public Health Director Lauren Buck summarized the district’s role and said Revere’s marshland makes some mosquito activity unavoidable. Buck announced two municipal “barrier treatments” for school properties and parks: Monday, June 23 (rain date June 24) and Monday, Aug. 18 (rain date Aug. 19). She said the public health department coordinates weekly municipal spraying lists with the district.

District staff explained service categories: catch-basin larviciding in late May–June, arbovirus surveillance from May through September, property inspections on request, habitat mitigation, and adulticiding (truck-based ultra-low-volume, or ULV, applications). The district noted that municipal barrier treatments are separate from weekly adulticide runs and can have residual activity on vegetation.

During council Q&A, district staff and entomologists answered technical questions. The district stated that the products used are EPA-registered and approved by the Massachusetts pesticide board; both product types discussed are synthetic pyrethroids. One staff member explained the ULV adulticide is applied as 30-micron droplets calibrated to contact flying mosquitoes and said those applications have no residual effect. On pets and reentry, staff advised a short waiting period (about 15 minutes) after an adulticide pass; barrier treatments require overnight drying before regular access.

Officials described the resident-request process: residents must request property spraying weekly (requests must be placed by Wednesday at noon for truck runs on Thursday nights about 30 minutes after sunset). Municipal property requests are coordinated by the public health department and submitted to the district by Wednesday at noon for weekly scheduling; the first municipal list for the season began June 4. Staff said trucks have onboard weather stations and will not spray when winds exceed label limits; licensed applicators will not operate when conditions would carry spray outside target areas.

District staff cautioned that the label prohibits direct applications over waters of the U.S., streams, ponds and certain water supplies, and that exclusions or sensitive sites are managed through their GIS and onboard alarm systems. The district described barrier-treatment residuals that can last 30–90 days depending on product and reiterated that municipal coordination determines property inclusion.

Councilors asked about effects on community gardens, pools and pets; district staff said ULV adulticide is designed to loft and dissipate and that the barrier product affects organisms that land on treated vegetation but does not wash off easily once dry. Officials emphasized compliance with label restrictions (temperature, wind speed, precipitation) and said they calibrate sprayers each year.

Councilors were given the mosquito control district’s website and phone number for resident requests (www.nemassmosquito.org).","City public health staff and Northeast Massachusetts Mosquito Control described larviciding, surveillance and adulticide schedules for Revere, announced two barrier-treatment dates for school and park properties, and outlined resident request procedures and safety protocols.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6527325,"Revere honors top elementary and middle school students with George V.

Colella Academic Achievement Award at the Revere City Council meeting on June 2, 2025. The awards recognize academic achievement and citizenship; each recipient received a $200 honorarium and an honorary certificate.

The awards, presented during the council meeting, honored one student from each of Revere’s six elementary schools and each of its three middle schools. Doctor Diane Kelly, superintendent of Revere Public Schools, praised the honorees and their teachers: “all of the recipients of the George v Colella award this year are worthy,” she said.

The awards program was created and personally funded by Mayor George V. Colella before his death in 2010. Council members and school leaders noted the program’s longevity: including this year’s class, 99 students have received the award over 11 years, and the program has distributed more than $16,000 in honoraria.

Principals introduced each recipient and described classroom and extracurricular achievements. Among students named by principals during the ceremony were Juliet Calderon Tejada (Beechmont Veterans Memorial School), George Fodiatis (Hill School), Tavleen (Lincoln School), Joya Sharafa (Paul Revere School), Ariana (A.C. Wayland School), Fartoon Castani (Garfield Elementary School), Marilyn (Rodney Marsh Academy), Tyler Pham (Susan B. Anthony Middle School), and Marco (Garfield Middle School; reported absent and to receive the award later).

The council also presented City of Revere Community Scholarships to four graduating Revere High School seniors. Rose Burns, chair of the scholarship committee, said the committee evaluates financial need, character, scholastic record and community involvement under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 6C, §3C. This year’s scholarship winners are Jordan Martelli (attending Merrimack College), Ava Casanello (Stonehill College), Susie Nicholas (Suffolk University; not present), and Yani Patel (MCPHS). Each recipient was awarded $2,000 for college expenses.

Councilors and school officials thanked volunteers and past stewards of the program; several speakers said donations and voluntary taxpayer contributions sustain the community scholarships. Mayor Keith and Council President Silvestri acknowledged former officials who helped maintain the funding.

The ceremony concluded before the council returned to its regular agenda.","At its June 2 meeting the Revere City Council hosted the annual George V. Colella Academic Achievement Awards, presenting nine students with $200 honoraria and certificates. The council also recognized four recipients of the City of Revere Community Scholarships funded by voluntary taxpayer contributions under state law.","actionData","errors"]
