Tom Harden said that it wasn't finished, but doesn't have <br /> to be right now. We will work on the goals first. <br /> Fred Merrill (from town Planning Board) said we are doing a good job, and <br /> brought a message of thanks and appreciation from the Steering Committee. <br /> Marianne Lazarus asked Fred for suggestions about Outreach activities. Fred <br /> said he didn't have the answer to that yet, but the steering committee will <br /> talk about it tomorrow. He believes that a massive outreach effort will not <br /> be required. <br /> Karl Kastorf said that one of the innovative parts of this process is the use <br /> of the Web by the town, but, frustratingly, it just doesn't work very well - <br /> it is perhaps a poorly managed service. <br /> Mike Hanauer handed out some material on sustainability from the city of <br /> Santa Monica, particularly to Fred Merrill, and noted that the City of <br /> Cambridge uses parts of it. <br /> Marianne asked Fred how our work fit in with the Planning Board's work. Fred <br /> said that our work is on broader policy issues, whereas the planning board is <br /> ooking at specific sites. Eventually the Planning Board may use our goals <br /> as guidelines. The Commonwealth mandates every town to have a Comprehensive <br /> Plan; most do not, but Lexington is trying to develop one.
