2 her to, but otherwise had a timing conflict with Selectmen meetings. As a follow-up to this, it was observed by Jessie Steigerwald that the LCA was originally charged to “undertake projects intended to further the appreciation and support of the arts in Lexington”. Additionally, in the late 1980’s the LCA was responsible for recommending art for town offices. Cheryl Meadow reported back on her review of the LCA website. She offered to take on management and development of the site, but only if it was in another platform (such as Weebly) as she is not familiar with Dreamweaver (which is the current platform). One critical item to this site is that the Lexington Artist Directory and Open Studios is currently linked to the LCA site. Further discussion was held about specifics of Twitter and Facebook. It was noted that the LCA site is hosted by JustHost.com, and the LCA has just paid for the next three years of hosting. Cheryl and Zoe, who is currently managing the site, will further discuss the website outside the meeting and reported back to the group. Jessie had proposed that minutes be typed up within 2 days of a meeting, and reviewed by members within another 2 days. This is to allow for easy addition/correction of minutes while information is fresh in the minds of attendees. This did happen after the January meeting (hurrah! Jessie) and everyone was happy with this process. The May 2013 minutes are not with the town archives. Zoe determined this was because there was not a quorum for the meeting. She has a template for this and will send it to Jessie for forwarding to the town. Cristina looked into the reasoning behind odd dates for LCA member terms. This is due to 3 factors: 1.) MCC lists a member’s service dates for 3 years from the time of arrival on LCA, 2.) however, the town of Lexington lists a member’s service dates from 3 years, beginning in September of that year, and 3.) a town listing may reflect an shorter term if a member filled the seat of someone leaving the committee before their term was up. It was determined that when the committee had a vacancy, a member might sit on the committee but actually receive an “appointment”in September (anyone may attend meetings, but only vote as an appointed member …of primary interest during the granting season in October onward).
