The License Commission Meeting held on September 17, 2025, in Revere City, focused on several key agenda items, including a proposed motorcycle ride event and a change of management at a local hotel.

The meeting commenced with discussions surrounding a one-day entertainment license application for a motorcycle ride organized by Todd Angeli. Angeli detailed his experience with similar events and expressed confidence in the anticipated turnout, estimating between 100 to 200 riders. He emphasized that the event would benefit four local organizations, with all proceeds directed towards them, while costs would be covered by donations from bands and food trucks.

Concerns were raised regarding the event's route, which would start at a local dealership and traverse several towns, including Everett, Saugus, and Lynn. Commission members highlighted the need for traffic management and public safety measures, suggesting the presence of police officers to ensure smooth operations. Angeli assured the commission of his commitment to coordinating with local authorities to address these concerns and expressed a desire to make the event an annual occurrence.

Following the discussion, the commission moved to approve the application for the entertainment license, with no opposition voiced during the hearing.

The next item on the agenda involved a change of manager application for the Staybridge Suites Holiday Inn Express. Desiree Ululiano was proposed to replace Cynthia Basic as the manager. Ululiano, who has over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry and a clean record with the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, was presented by her legal representative. The commission approved the change without any objections.

The meeting also addressed an application for a karaoke and DJ license, but due to the absence of the owner, the commission decided to reschedule the discussion for a later date. Concerns were raised about past operational issues related to noise and crowd management, necessitating the owner's presence for further clarification.

In conclusion, the meeting progressed smoothly with key approvals granted for the motorcycle event and hotel management change, while ensuring that future discussions would address community concerns regarding entertainment operations. The next meeting is scheduled for October, where the karaoke license application will be revisited.
