RECEIVED Ad Hoc Stone Building Feasibility/Reuse Committee 2022 01 Juin, 1233 Ipin't TOWN CLERK Town of Lexington, MA LexwcToru MA May 5, 2022 8:00 AM MINUTES Attending: Jaclyn Anderson, Cristina Burwell,Jeff Howry, Meg Muckenhoupt (Appropriations Comm.

Minutes for April 7th were presented with modifications from Jeff and Carolyn's notation that the committee dispatched Cristina & Meg to edit and lead the process. The minutes were unanimously approved with amendments, as motioned by Jackie and seconded by Anne. Minutes for April 27 8am & 7:30pm (public forum) were approved unanimously as motioned by Melinda and seconded by Carolyn. Paul & Les noted that they were not able to attend the full forum. There were no general announcements or public comments. SLIDE DECK - Melinda reviewed the slide deck, which was not changed since the forum. The committee discussed changes to be made for presenting to the Library Board of Trustees. • Not sure Library Trustees are familiar with the building, so suggestion to provide background information • Request to end with an ask - what the group sees as their relationship to the building and to our recommendations. Would like to evoke a discussion that includes identification of what will change so that we don't have another 15 years of an unoccupied building • Jeff indicated that he asked for 10 minutes on the Trustees agenda for presentation and 5-10 minutes for questions. • Request for 4th conclusion slide that addresses feasibility, with our conclusion that more research is needed on the models we have found, and possible tenants. Interest in making the point that there are options and possibilities, and it is premature at this stage to nail those down (and that there is work to be done). This could read as the private/public partnership has to be explored and defined. Question about CPA funding being a conclusion, or broadly wrapped up in what the coordinator would be doing. Noted that this is under Conclusion 1 (restoration needs to begin immediately). This needs to be put in the hands of someone with authority, which the SBFRC does not. 1
