Chair Ralph DeChico relayed that a project labeled by meeting organizers as a documentation effort for people with disabilities is recruiting participants; he said a lengthy report from the State-level commission is available on that commission’s website. He also reported that the MetroWest Independent Living Center (MWILC) is looking for participants for a project about municipal hybrid meeting options and urged commissioners to share the opportunity.

On hybrid meetings, DeChico said the state’s remote-meeting rules could change and that local options would help people participate without disclosing personal reasons for absence. \"I am a big proponent of having that,\" he said, referring to keeping hybrid meeting options available.

Ellie Vargas, who attended the Alliance meeting, described Operation Access, a program some neighboring communities use to enforce handicapped-parking violations during a dedicated period and to publicize enforcement in advance. The commission discussed fines that escalate for repeat offenders and the local practice in some towns of using collected fines for disability programs. DeChico explained that parking-enforcement proceeds can be placed in a municipal fund that a commission can access; he referred to the mechanism discussed in the meeting as \"22, 22 gs\" and said revenues in that fund have paid overtime for enforcement in other communities.

Commissioners also reviewed an Acton-led effort to include adaptive-bike requirements in a municipal bike-share RFP. DeChico and other members described types of adaptive bikes (trikes, recumbents, front-adapter bikes) and noted docking-space and infrastructure needs. He suggested state land near the bathhouse and DPW could be considered for an adaptive-bike corral if coordination with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) permits it.

The commission did not take formal votes on these coordination items; members treated them as informational and outreach items and encouraged commissioners and residents to contact MWILC and the state-level commission for participation and more information.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Revere City Commission on Disabilities Meeting- 2/11/25","oneSentenceSummary","Members reported on a recent COTA Commission and Disabilities Alliance meeting covering a DPC documentation project, efforts to preserve hybrid meeting options, Operation Access parking enforcement, and an RFP for adaptive bike-share features.","taxTitle","Revere City, Suffolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",5660,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6339127,"Revere commission approves plan to pursue music therapy workshops with Community Music Center of Boston",734,315820,1050105,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2264403-6aa862dea90a86f98fc4327c2d6bc49a&start=315&end=1050","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2264403-6aa862dea90a86f98fc4327c2d6bc49a/thumbnail_315820.jpg","/articles/6339127/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Revere-commission-approves-plan-to-pursue-music-therapy-workshops-with-Community-Music-Center-of-Boston","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6339127-a8083166c98413722b13ba1ce0e3d242/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199332&Signature=dJKFt3j3wyTRIPOCXJEs-XLeoz1ix2rWsUh4qRfBsifGRgBxXWQ9LT-PRNo~t7spZtgbn0VEgZitt4R6eA4dk7pHC8Q3l59IVFomjpCEpBwo9tL51TynzoKXx9cy7Qbb1YbblpWR6zq-tH~5AfJeMkWdEBupzQWyddnEtK1d~y-oyDzHJ4OXhg08MG02mVw4agrEh-UqGarN4ucJabnCokDefunKKIEQ4BAM-jBHnIIJIjtDSpPwAoIwRvFzVon2-vwdIPtWhmmnZp290~FA6YI8behFAdpSWbrIphmoYqUHLD7AM0qWCJoKu2~WDA-rqPO3jNzk~~A0G34Sq8MFQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere Commission on Disabilities voted to send a proposal from Anne Marie Fiore to the Revere Parks and Recreation Department seeking a partnership with the Community Music Center of Boston to deliver music therapy workshops and subsequent therapy sessions for residents with disabilities.

Chair Ralph DeChico introduced the item as a proposal to partner with Revere Parks and Recreation and the Community Music Center of Boston. Commission member Anne Marie Fiore summarized the plan, saying the initial offering would be three one-hour music therapy workshops in March, followed by recurring therapy sessions in April if turnout supports continuing. Fiore told the commission the sessions would most likely be held on weekdays after school up to about 5 to 6 p.m.

Fiore also said the Community Music Center could provide hybrid or fully remote delivery. \"For the workshops, if we wanted, they could definitely do hybrid. They could also ... remote, through Zoom,\" she said. Commissioners discussed hybrid delivery as a way to increase participation during high respiratory illness season and to reach residents who cannot attend in person. Chair DeChico suggested coordinating with Revere TV to stream sessions to broaden access.

After discussion, a motion to send the proposal to Revere Parks and Recreation for partnership and scheduling was approved by roll call. The recorded approvals included Vice Chair Pauline Perna, Mario Gomez, Jason Barone, Ellie Vargas, Anne Marie Fiore and Chair Ralph DeChico.

The proposal notes that timing and facility availability will depend on the Revere Parks and Recreation Department’s schedule and that a capacity limit will apply; the commission asked staff to confirm available space and times with Parks and Rec before final scheduling. No budget or funding source was specified during the discussion.

Commissioners identified next steps as: (1) send the formal proposal on commission letterhead to Revere Parks and Recreation, (2) confirm space and time availability for after-school hours, and (3) explore livestreaming options with Revere TV and the commission’s Zoom link.","The commission approved sending a proposal to the Revere Parks and Recreation Department to host hybrid music therapy workshops and follow-up therapy sessions for people with disabilities, beginning with three one-hour workshops in March and potential weekly sessions in April.",{"_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},6339132,"Revere Disabilities Commission approves draft letter on beach processing safety",184,114340,298525,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2264403-6aa862dea90a86f98fc4327c2d6bc49a&start=114&end=298","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2264403-6aa862dea90a86f98fc4327c2d6bc49a/thumbnail_114340.jpg","/articles/6339132/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Revere-Disabilities-Commission-approves-draft-letter-on-beach-processing-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6339132-c210a9fb3313ad85760f43e7652fe542/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199332&Signature=n7~bm758kPipvsKYRiYhvDOOOKKBHgotNYb9t9RZBc3hhqvMVGl5DRULU44xWHn9Dv1LPl-NInqW-c-xlj2ZW6c764Xts2BANAMjcNODIomm7t6J59Jq319Oke1FN-RHQD381mdsJVUTquNeKMeG31G-PXkesBNNLl0TOTlgjyA7Yq4JQEzjhBDKYK1QI63Yhs-GSuk04V9uRs-67tWadWT~RZ1F2sbODqNDQGHfsk8gqzqefS4~r5Hsv9EcVpsCIGFR8YuvEdtLt9pwvsDH7JOcBWWOQlz7LQQAF0-9BSYkDBKi7bzPKTBg9NKaCX0DEd-CAvc~KrO9y2ZU8Nxowg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Ralph DeChico and the Revere Commission on Disabilities voted to approve a draft letter from Vice Chair Pauline Perna about processing safety at the beach and directed staff to send it to the appropriate representative.

The letter, prepared on the commission’s letterhead and listing all commission members, will be finalized with an exact send date before being emailed to the designated recipient. Chair DeChico told members, “I will put the date on it, and I will email this through the appropriate person, and we will send that out.”

Pauline Perna had asked that wording be reviewed; members confirmed they had received the draft as a follow-up to the meeting materials. After a motion to accept the draft was made, the commission conducted a roll call vote. The recorded roll-call approvals were Mario Gomez, Jason Barone, Vice Chair Pauline Perna, Ellie Vargas, Anne Marie Fiore and Chair Ralph DeChico. The chair said the document was approved and that he would send it once the date is added.

No statutes, ordinances or external legal citations were referenced during the motion. The action was recorded as an administrative communication: the commission authorized sending the finalized letter as written and placing it on commission letterhead. The commission did not specify the recipient by name during the public portion of the meeting.

The item was discussed during the agenda updates portion of the meeting; the commission treated the vote as a procedural approval rather than adoption of new policy.

The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at 6 p.m. via Zoom.","The Revere Commission on Disabilities voted to approve a draft letter regarding \"processing safety at the beach\" and authorized staff to send the letter on commission letterhead after the chair adds the exact date.","actionData","errors"]
