Revere subcommittee gives favorable recommendations on four ordinances; one item deferred
Summary
The Revere City Legislative Affairs Subcommittee issued favorable recommendations to the full City Council on four ordinances — housekeeping changes to Title 2, a financial impact statement ordinance, a vacant building ordinance and a parity salary ordinance — and deferred a separate measure on utility pole siting.
The Revere City Legislative Affairs Subcommittee voted to issue favorable recommendations to the full City Council on four separate ordinances and deferred a separate measure on utility pole siting.
The subcommittee recommended that the full council adopt:
- An ordinance removing outdated language from Title 2 of the Revised Ordinances of the City of Revere. Committee discussion noted the item was largely housekeeping; a councilor asked whether references to clothing allowances in the old text would eliminate existing allowances, and the committee indicated the language is old and clothing allowances continue to be provided under current practice.
- An ordinance further amending the Revised Ordinances to require financial impact statements (referred to as the Financial Impact Statement Ordinance).
- An ordinance amending Chapter 805 relative to the regulation of vacant buildings (the Vacant Building Ordinance).
- An ordinance further amending Appendix C (Salaries) of the Revised Ordinances to implement parity salary adjustments in concert with recently approved Unit A and Unit B collective bargaining agreements (the Parity Salary Ordinance).
Each item received a favorable recommendation from the Legislative Affairs Subcommittee by roll-call vote. The transcript records unanimous yes roll calls on the four ordinances; the committee’s votes were recorded as favorable recommendations to the full council for adoption.
