The agenda for the July 26 Board of Selectmen’s meeting will include an informational update on proposed changes to liquor license renewals. Patty Correa, Brookline’s Associate Town Counsel will present the proposed regulation changes. There will then be a Public Hearing in September followed in October by the Selectmen’s vote to ratify the changes.

The Advisory Board voted last night to fund the Commercial Areas Coordinator position for the next fiscal year by a vote of 15-7.

There were a few surprises in Brookline’s election yesterday despite the fact voter turnout was sluggish at best.

In the past three years, the Advisory Committee has voted four times on a $70,000 line item in Brookline’s approximately $230,000,000 budget. Tonight, the AC meets to discuss the topic again.

The Advisory Subcommittee has scheduled a public hearing tonight to address the question of Article 17 (extending legal hours for alcohol sales). The hearing will take place in Town Hall’s Room 310 at 6 pm, and the full Advisory Committee is expected to vote on the matter Tuesday or Thursday of next week.

The Advisory Committee addressed the proposed Bike Lane projects during their meeting last night at Brookline Town Hall. The matter came up on the agenda at roughly 9:30 pm. Tasked with preserving or eliminating funding, the Committee voted somewhere in between.

Tonight at 7:30, the Advisory Committee will vote to preserve or eliminate $42,500 in funding three bicycle lane projects. The meeting will be held in room 103 of Town Hall on 333 Washington Street.

Brookline Town Administrator, Mel Kleckner recently presented an annual budget to members of the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board, all members of which are appointed, is tasked with reviewing and making recommendations on matters to be considered by a Town Meeting.

In a decision that surprised few given the continuing rough economic climate, Brookline Selectmen voted unanimously at last night's meeting  to increase meter rates. One rate structure focuses on the area around St. Mary’s MBTA stop frequented by people heading to Fenway for Red Sox games. The other increase impacts parking in the larger commercial areas of Brookline.
