Don Martelli to the Library Board of Trustees Somaya Laroussi to the Human Rights Commission Hector Rivera to the Planning Board Hal Abrams to the Planning Board Herby Jean-Baptiste to the Human Rights Commission Wilson Correa to the Conservation Commission Matt Wolfer to the Aff ordable Housing Trust Fund Board of Trustees New Leadership The six new city councillors were not the only big change at the City Council. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro was unanimously elected City Council President. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky was unanimously voted City Council Vice President. Both councillors bring experience and plenty of institutional knowledge to their new roles. A Fitting Tribute Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya graciously proposed naming the community meeting room at the new Point of Pines Fire Station in honor of former Ward 5 Councillor John Powers. Fellow councillors were quick to support the motion. All agreed Powers’s decades of service to the city should be recognized. The Point of Pines Fire Station was the longtime city councillor’s pet project, and the honor was especially appropriate. Bring Back the Workouts Councillor-At-Large Robert Haas asked that Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. be requested to reinstate the Weekend Workout program at Revere High. According to Haas, the program was eff ective in battling isolation and inactivity and offered residents a safe space during the colder months. Help Wanted Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna asked for a part-time building inspector to work from 5 p.m. Thursday to 5 p.m. Sunday to shut down all the illegal construction going on throughout the city after City Hall hours.
