Votes at a glance: Select Board approves Black History Month proclamation, minutes and committee appointments
Summary
The Select Board took several procedural votes during its Feb. 4 meeting, including approving a proclamation for Black History Month, approving meeting minutes and amending the charge and appointments for the expenditures and revenue study committee.
During its Feb. 4 meeting the Brookline Select Board approved a series of procedural and organizational items.
Black History Month proclamation: The board unanimously approved a proclamation declaring February 2025 as Black History Month in Brookline. The proclamation’s recitals trace the observance from early efforts in the 1920s to the national institutionalization of Black History Month, and the board urged town departments and residents to mark the month with programs and study.
Meeting minutes and omnibus items: The board approved the Jan. 28 meeting minutes without amendment and approved several consent/omnibus items (items 3c–3f) in one motion after questions were resolved.
Expenditures and Revenue Study Committee: The board amended the study committee’s charge to permit alternate members and to correct two scrivener errors in the timeline. The board approved a slate of appointments to the committee (public members and voting members representing the Select Board, Advisory Committee and School Committee), with one public-member slot still to be filled; staff will post an application and return with a completion of the roster.
