RECEIVED <br /> Ad Hoc Stone Building Feasibility/Reuse Committee 2021 29 IIMov, 159 Ipii7'i <br /> Town of Lexington, MA TOWN CLERK <br /> LEXINGTON MA <br /> Wednesday October 6, 20217:30 AM <br /> MINUTES <br /> Attending: Cristina Burwell,Jeff Howry, Mark Manasas, Meg Muckenhoupt (Appropriations Comm. <br /> Liaison), Melinda Nasardinov, Paul Smyke (left 8:15), Carolyn Goldstein, Lester Savage <br /> **Absent: Jacelyn Anderson , Anne Grady, Claire Feingold Thoryn (Cary Library Trustees Liaison), <br /> Doug Lucente (Select Board Liaison) <br /> Guests: Elaine Ashton <br /> Recording Secretary: Cristina Burwell <br /> The meeting began shortly after 7:30 with an online Roll Call & Reading of Statement on Use of <br /> Virtual Meetings. <br /> Minutes for 9/23 were approved unanimously, as motioned by Paul, and seconded by Les. <br /> There were no public comments, and the meeting began with a report on the first focus group - <br /> intercultural programming. The event was recorded by LexMedia and can be found on their <br /> ,irn„Q e ir..:narn, ' channel by searching Stone Building. Mark noted that, in summary, there was <br /> broad interest in the concept at large but that it will take a champion to make it happen. The <br /> time was spent putting out the concept so that attendees could take information back to their <br /> groups to discuss possible ways they might make use of the Stone Building space for <br /> intercultural programming. The intent was also sharing what we have heard such that <br /> attendees could weigh in to its accuracy. Mark indicated that we could likely expect to get <br /> feedback from stakeholder groups within three weeks. <br /> It was suggested (after stating that no one identified any fundraising capacity or how they <br /> operate) that we should be asking specific questions about programming and space/uses <br /> through targeted conversations now. <br /> Carolyn updated the group that we had sent out a DoodlePoll to interested parties and <br /> identified stakeholders regarding gathering a history/museum focus group. It looks like that <br /> time will be either October 20/21 at 7:00 - 8:30. Next activities will be to develop a slide <br /> deck and a set of questions (similar to the above focus group). Carolyn asked for help to get <br /> the word out through our regular channels via the Town Information Officer. <br /> 1 <br />
