Councilor Anthony Cogliandro (Ward 3) presented the motion, saying the current enforcement codified under a local reference called “21 D” “really has no teeth” and that citations often are not enforced once they leave city control. Cogliandro said the change would allow the city to retain enforcement and would support equipping police cruisers with decibel meters.

“I think everybody in here can agree that we do have responsible people in the city that play their music or make noise, have parties, but at a certain time, they tone it down,” Cogliandro said, adding that the proposal is intended to address the minority who do not respect neighbors.

Councilor Novoselski said putting enforcement under 40 U would keep violations “in house” rather than having tickets go to outside court locations where they are frequently dismissed. He said he had discussed the approach with Chief Levita, who he described as “totally in favor” of allowing Revere police to enforce under 40 U and to use decibel readers in patrol cars.

Michael Wells, Revere’s director of Inspectional Services and health agent, said his department oversees the 40 U process and asked that the Inspectional Services Department (ISD) act as the gatekeeper for fines issued under the sanitary code. Wells explained that fines under 40 U are attached to properties — not to individuals — and can be transferred to tax bills if unpaid. “40 is attached to a property. So I can’t find a business. I can’t find a, a person. We’re finding a property,” Wells said. He described prior coordination with police under a previous chief, in which police reports were attached to violations to assist enforcement.

Councilor Kelly asked whether enforcement would leave discretion to officers (for example, first‑time offenses or time of day). Councilor Caldera replied that the ordinance’s penalty structure is not changing and that the motion changes only the means of issuing fines.

At roll call the subcommittee recorded unanimous support to forward the special legislation to the full City Council. The clerk read affirmative votes from Councilor Greeno Suaya (yes), Councilor Haas (yes), Councilor Kelly (yes), Councilor McKenna (yes) and Chairman Argenzio (yes). The subcommittee recorded: “Yes. The special act has received a favorable recommendation.”

Next steps require the special legislation to proceed through the full City Council and then the state legislative process for a city-specific act; the transcript does not record those subsequent steps or any enacted effective date.

Several other nominees were not present and were either moved on or tabled.

Michael Tucker, a Revere resident of 9 Ellerton Street, was identified by the committee as a long-serving board member and was reappointed to another five-year term. Tucker told the subcommittee he has served for about 25 years and, when asked what he would bring to the role, said, “The same I’ve always.”

The committee voiced unanimous support for Tucker’s reappointment. Councilor Haas said Tucker is “very well versed in the material,” and Councilor Noboselski and others praised his fairness and integrity. Anthony Zambuto, who attended although not on the committee, also spoke in Tucker’s favor.

Laurie Manzo, listed at 101 Coolidge Street, was reappointed to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board. Manzo told the committee she has served “a little over a year” and described advocacy she said she has led for veterans, seniors and lower‑income families, including a new senior home‑repair program intended to help older residents remain in their homes. Councilors praised her work on senior home repair and rental‑assistance efforts and voted to reappoint her.

The subcommittee also handled several mayoral communications: Peggy Pratt (Zoning Board of Appeals), Aneo Osueky (Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board), Karoo Pick (Human Rights Commission) and Viviana Catano (Board of Health) were not present. The chair noted the city’s policy that nominees should appear at these meetings unless they provide a valid excuse; Viviana Catano was specifically noted as not present and her item was tabled.

Chief Cullen and Chief Maria Levita were not present but the subcommittee voted to reappoint them to the Human Rights Commission after the chair said she had spoken with each. The record shows the items were advanced without in‑person remarks from those nominees.

The subcommittee began the evening noting eight appointments and reappointments on its agenda and proceeded to call up nominees present first. Voice votes were used for items that had no formally recorded roll‑call tally in the transcript: the committee recorded “All in favor? Aye. All opposed? So ordered.”

The reappointments will move forward in accordance with the city’s appointment procedures; the record does not specify additional implementation steps or effective dates for the reappointments.

Members and speakers identified in the meeting included: Chairwoman McKenna; Councilor Greeno Suaya; Councilor Haas; Councilor Noboselski; Councilor Garina Sawaya; Councilor Zambuto; Michael Tucker (Zoning Board reappointee); Laurie Manzo (Affordable Housing Trust Fund reappointee); Anthony Zambuto (speaker).","At its Sept. 29 meeting the Revere City Appointments Subcommittee reappointed Michael Tucker to the Zoning Board of Appeals and Laurie Manzo to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board, approved two police chief reappointments to the Human Rights Commission and tabled or noted absences for several other nominees.","actionData","errors"]
