<br />It was reported that there was a discussion with the Article 97 stakeholders, and the next steps were identified. One <br />item that needed to be confirmed was the ratio of the land swap and whether it was 1.5 to 1 or 2 to 1 or 1:1. Any <br />change in use needs to show that Article 97 land will be replicated. A change in purpose for recreational land <br />requires a 2/3 town meeting vote and a state legislative vote. The legislative process takes 1 year and begins after <br />Town Meeting approval. The next steps included scheduling meetings with state representatives and beginning a <br />discussion with the Public Lands Preservation Act (PLPA). There was work being done to create a schedule of <br />everything that needed to be done for Article 97. A CPM timeline diagram is needed. It was suggested to have each <br />of the groups list their six most important goals. It was discussed that it was important to have the different groups to <br />ensure everyone’s voices were heard. There will be meetings added to the Article 97 workplan. <br />Finally, D&W needs to engage Sustainable Lexington in the Eversource meeting. <br /> <br />Urgent Business <br />There was no further business. <br /> <br />Motion to adjourn, all approved. <br /> <br />Next meeting: December 12th
