Brookline Select Board signed the Chestnut Hill West memorandum of agreement with City Realty. Vice Chair Michael Rubenstein called it "a very big deal for the town of Brookline" after "over two decades" of work, following Town Meeting's passage of related zoning articles the prior week. The board separately approved a $2,068,110.69 reserve fund transfer for snow and ice removal after Deputy Commissioner for Operations Kevin Johnson reported 59.2 inches of snow and 19 weather events this winter, four requiring outside contractors.
The board also interviewed Fenway Alliance co-director Kelly Brilliant for a Conservation Commission seat and approved a National Grid noise bylaw waiver for nighttime water main work at 192 Washington Street near MBTA tracks.
