Derek expressed that the Ad-hoc committee deserves a pat on back because we are forging forward with this campaign. Other towns, including Lenox, have had many road blocks along the way to implement a town wide campaign. Other towns are already approaching Lexington and asking for advice on how to implement a program like ours. He also reported that future town street maps that are free and available to town bus drivers and the public from places like the Chamber of Commerce and the Fire Department could be labeled with Idle-Free Lexington information. He has seen such maps in the fire department although he did not know where they come from. It was reported that low emissions legislation would be coming in the near future. The committee wondered how such legislation would impact CW contracts? Would they help? Would they increase cost? Ann Kelly said a company in Boston has information on this Tom suggested again that high school students make part of presentation. The committee concurred. Jeanne will check with Marge about timing. A discussion on the nature of the anti-idling leaflets/tickets followed. ?? Sample tickets made by elementary school students were reviewed. One example showed a picture of an idling car with a dead plant nearby. Another student was making a picture with the minuteman statue coughing. Pictures will be selected through a contest that has been advertised. ?? It was suggested that copies of these pictures be delivered to businesses. It was also suggested that some of these tickets be made in bigger (poster) sizes for potential sale at about $25. Some businesses might buy them and hang them in their premises. Derek Fullerton will explore the feasibility of this possibility with the Chamber of Commerce. ?? Ingrid Klimoff said that the Waldorf school did not wish to distribute paper work. But they will accept e-forms to e-mail and put on their websites. She will is looking into contacting private schools next, and then Lexington religious establishments. She has already contacted Follen and Trinity churches. Anne Kelly added that idling does not happen in churches, but churches can spread the word in general. ?? Ingrid Klimoff and Ann Kelly requested and received the Committee’s approval to use the anti-idling logo from the brochure for the anti-idling campaign on Cable. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 8:35 a.m. Minutes e-mailed by: Tony Galaitsis 3
