Tuesday, March 14, 2000 Minutes of 03/07/00(Hard copy to Suzanne Page:3 Caton,lone Garing,John Frey) with other issues that our group has been considering, John Andrews, commented that diversity could be considered on a regional basis, encompassing adjoining towns rather than Lexington alone. It was noted that, considering the consistency of issues that are foremost in people's minds, its reasonable to expect overlap between our work group and others that the Core Group will have to reconcile. Date, Time and Location of Next Scheduled Meeting: Thursday, March 16, 2000, 7:00 ? 9:00 PM, Police Station (Really! ) Suzanne urged everyone to prepare for the meeting by referring to the resource materials we were provided during our orientation meeting. We have to begin planning the next stage of our activities, a public outreach and production of the Draft Vision Statement, with specific goals and measurements. The next issue is to decide methods for conducting the public outreach. Respectfully submitted, Gary Fallick P.S. In the March - April issue of the AMC Boston Chapter newsletter, the Conservation Committee report is about Sprawl. There is mention of pending legislation, the Community Preservation Act, which would provide tools to communities to buy and preserve land for open space, conduct historic preservation projects or invest in affordable housing. You can express your support for this legislation by contacting your local representative and senator at 617 722-2000. The same article mentions the Mystic View Task Force in Somerville and a presentation that was made about the analytical steps used to insure an acceptable economic solution for the city while obtaining a reasonable amount of open space.
