The Revere City Council meeting of October 5, 2026, considered a $125,000 appropriation from the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund for design work on the Garfield School elevators. The council voted to reconsider the request, then heard arguments about the elevators’ condition, accessibility and safety, and whether the School Department should contribute given its reported $5 million-plus surplus. A councilor noted that later phases would require bidding and estimated construction could cost roughly $1.2 million. The appropriation request was tabled; no design contract or construction award was approved.
