-2- The letter was a composite by the LCC, Selectmen and the Board of Health, requestingthat each purveyor of food in Lexington provide and maintain refuse containers at both front and back entrances with daily responsibility for cleaning litter and making sure that dumpsters are kept closed and emptied frequently. Mary Hastings suggested that acknowledgement should be made of the owners that do a good job in these areas. Bob Ossman said that enclosures for dumpsters could possibly be a Design study recommendation. Rick referred to the article on the Warrant that would authorize ticketing and fine penalties for non-compliance in the Zoning , Conservation and Health areas in the Town By-Laws. If passed, the Town would have more options to enforce the merchant' s responsibility for maintaining the disposal areas on their premises. Non Chamber members who violate the cleanliness regulations will be identified and a process for contacting them developed. VOLLMER PLANS/MINUTEMAN COMMUTER BIKEWAY Carla Fortmann reminded the LCC of the Bikeway Mtg that would take place that evening in the Selectmen' s Meeting Room.
