“Non-common ground proposal of Policing Reforms Committee re: Scholl Resource Officers and Walk and Talk unit -1 Chair Greene reviewed that the Board will defer to June 15, 2021 any vote on the SRO and the walk and talk program so that we can obtain from the School Committee and the Housing Authority their input and specific information form the appropriate stake holders. Board member Fernandez noted that his task force heard this at their Friday Task Force meeting. There were some concerns about that date. It is after the election, and that it allows board members to avoid taking controversial positions before the election. I am literally just stating that for the record. On motion it was, To defer the board's vote to June 15, 2021, and to solicit response for the School committee and the Housing Authority. That upon a positive vote on this recommendation, the Select Board Chair shall write to the School Committee and the Commissioners of the Brookline Housing Authority requesting that they consult with the appropriate stakeholders and send the Select Board the results of those consultations and any proposals they may have for consideration by the Select Board in their role as police commissioners. Aye: Bernard Greene, Nancy Heller, Heather Hamilton, Raul Fernandez, John VanScoyoc.”
