# _ Lexington Housing Partnership 4. Housing Production Plan The Metro West Collaborative Development (MWCD) has submitted a grant proposal for a regional and by -town analysis of housing trends. The proposal is intended to analyze trends in Lexington, Watertown, and Belmont. If the proposal is funded, the study will lead to suggested housing production plans for each of the towns. The BoS of each town must approve the housing production plan and then the Commonwealth must approve the plan prior to implementation. Assuming the work is funded, MWCD's target is to submit the proposed housing production plan for approval in the towns by the end of 2012 and for approval by the Commonwealth in the spring of 2013. The proposed work is sponsored by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). 5. Information for Town Meeting Bob Bicknell had suggested to Ms. Kluchman that the LHP provide a summary of its activities in the past year to the Town Meeting. This is consistent with LHP practices in previous years. The LHP agreed that such a summary should be provided and asked Ms. Kluchman to provide it. 6. Future Meetings • Hancock Church is a sponsor of the Lexington Housing Foundation. Jeff Kull of Hancock Church has indicated his intention to attend the April 26 meeting. We welcome Mr. Kull, as we do all interested town residents. • Suggested topics for future meeting agendas: • Brainstorm approaches to promoting the LHP agenda when new properties are available for purchase. • Invitation to Elizabeth Barnett: Ms. Barnett is a Lexington resident who wrote Carlisle's housing plan. It was suggested that we invite Ms. Barnett to the meeting to speak with us about Carlisle's housing plan and the process for creating the housing plan. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 pm. The next meeting will be held on April 26, 2010.
