Motion presented by Councillor Keefe: That the Revere City Council go on record as condemning the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis Police Officers. The Revere City Council further recognizes that decades of systemic racism and violence against people of color has had a far reaching negative impact on the safety, health, and well-being of people of color, families of color, and communities of color. The Revere City Council unconditionally supports all people of color and stands in solidarity with those who suffer oppression and promises to engage each and every resident within our community to actively take a stand against exclusion, inequality, racism, and violence. Hate has no place within the City of Revere.

Motion presented by Councillor Rotondo: That the Mayor request Inspectional Services and the Revere Police Department to investigate the following issues at 29 South Furness Street: 1.) boat, ski-doo, and unregistered pick up truck in driveway. 2.) alleged illegal basement apartment. 3.) loud and late night music.
