Warrant Now Open For Brookline Fall Town Meeting

The Board of Selectmen is now accepting warrant articles for Brookline's fall Town Meeting on November 16.

The warrant was officially opened on Thursday, Aug. 5 and will remained open until noon on Thursday, Sept. 2. Any citizen can file a warrant article with the signatures of ten Town Meeting members.

Warrant articles must be filed in the Selectmen's Office along with a statement of explanation, though the town also recommends that petitioners submit articles to the offices of Town Clerk or Town Counsel so they can be reviewed for legality and form before being entered into the warrant. All offices are located at Brookline Town Hall, 333 Washington St.

The Brookline Town Meeting Members Association has developed guidelines for developing and submitting a warrant article, including suggested language. See page 6 of the Town Meeting Members Handbook for more information.
