Policy A new item 1 was suggested that looks for targets to be established prior to project work initiating and that those targets include costs and schedule expectations. Point 1 that the design team should also be experienced in "Lexington" standards that are beyond LEED Silver. Point 2, that a decision on submitting for certification needs to be made at the outset of the project so as to direct the architect accordingly (this is typically at an added cost.) Point 3, that any report to elected boards needs to be responded to in a timely manner so as not to have an effect on schedule. Point 4, The PBC disagreed with the suggestion that a Lex Sustainability member needed to be on the committee, rather a LEED accredited Professional would be appointed which is consistent with a recommendation expressed by a Selectman at the BOS meeting. Point 6, that a post occupancy process be completed prior to the end of the 1 year building warranty to document those items that need correction or re-alignment. Policy revisions and updates Point 3 PBC thought this point was not necessary given other policies regarding the required review of policies. A review of the "Goals" document created by Sustainable Lexington PBC discussed elimination of the introductory sentence. Goal 6, brief discussion on the effects on energy consumption by increasing filtration Goal 7, PBC felt should be in operations policy. Goal 8, PBC discussed and supported the exemption of fossil fuels for back up heating systems. Goal 9, PBC suggested deleting the specific reference to 600ppm and simply follow attachment c. Goal 10, PBC suggested "where practicable" be inserted in before the word "avoid". Goal 17, PBC discussed the town's emergency management plan and suggested that the emergency management plan should be the deciding factor with regard to building resilience. Jon Himmel agreed to incorporate the PBC edits to the policy draft for the town managers review. Motion to adjourn was made and seconded: Meeting adjourned at 9:OOPM. PBC Meeting 03.12.19 2
