Summary
Commission members reviewed a draft letter intended for Representative Turco asking for help with an issue on the boulevard; members discussed adding open-ended language inviting feedback and noted the state Department of Conservation and Recreation holds authority over the boulevard.
The Revere City Commission on Disabilities discussed finalizing a draft letter addressed to Representative Turco asking for assistance with a boulevard-related accessibility concern.
The commission reviewed the draft that was prepared at a prior meeting and opened the floor for edits and additions. One member recommended leaving the letter’s closing language open-ended to invite Representative Turco’s input: "I think my thought is sending it as is with kind of an open ended that. Any, questions or anything that they that Jeff has to bring back to us that we're willing whichever way," the speaker said.
Members noted the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) likely holds jurisdiction over the boulevard and that Representative Turco could help raise the issue with the proper agency. A member said, “...the proper proper entity, which is possible, much more than likely would be a DCR, since they control the, boulevard.”
Pauline Purnell agreed to review the letter after the meeting and consult colleagues before sending a final version. The commission emphasized compliance with open meeting laws and asked members to submit suggested edits to Purnell for consolidation before the item returns to the commission for approval.
Next steps: Pauline will review and consolidate suggested edits, consult with staff, and circulate a final draft for the commission to review; the commission plans to deliver the letter to Representative Turco and may request a meeting based on his response.
