ARTICLE 9 RESOLUTION RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AND USE CHANGE AT HANSCOM FIELD To see if the Town will vote to adopt a resolution that reaffirms the original Lexington 1997 Town Meeting vote regarding development and use changes at Hanscom Field and calls upon the Governor and Congressional delegation to prevent current expansion proposals until a comprehensive regional multi-model sustainable transportation plan is developed; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by Andy Friedlich and 100 or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: Given the concern about Massport's expansion proposals for Hanscom Field, this article does three things. First, it reaffirms the goals regarding Hanscom Field that the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln and Bedford all approved at their Town Meetings in 1997. Second, the article lists the four expansion initiatives Massport has put forth and states that they will alter Hanscom Fields character, will impact the environment and questions the need for some of the proposed changes. Third, the article calls upon the Governor, our United States Senators and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to support a moratorium on any expansion of infrastructure at Hanscom Field until a sustainable regional multi-modal transportation plan is developed. Hereof fail not and make due return of this warrant, with your doings thereon, to the Town Clerk, on or before the time of said meeting. Given under our hands this 6t1i day of April 2009. Norman P.
