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.
