Mark S proposed posting the results of the survey on the Lexington List and to create a separate copy of the survey to submit to Town Meeting members to get their feedback. He suggested asking Vicki Blier to distribute the survey to the Town Meeting members. S. Slack administration Mark McConnell will be leaving the committee at the end of September, so administration of the NAC Slack workspace needs to be transferred to someone on the committee. Nick accepted the responsibility for Slack administration. The committee also discussed creating public and private channels to accommodate non-committee members in the Slack workspace. Non-committee members will be able to use the public channels and a naming convention will be used to easily differentiate between the two types of channel. 6. Fielding noise complaints Dan indicated that residents don't know how or where to submit complaints about noise. The committee discussed creating a page in the Noise Committee web site to instruct people how to file complaints. Rick brought up creating a central repository for collecting noise complaints. Dan indicated that this had been discussed before with the town and there is no central ticketing system at this time. The NAC doesn't have the bandwidth to tackle this problem at this time. The committee agreed to put a "File a Noise Complaint" link on the menu in the NAC web site on lexingtonma.org. The link would display a page that would instruct people how to file a noise complaint listing the appropriate contact information (police,fire and health departments,etc.) depending on the type of noise complaint. Dan will follow up with the lexingtonma.gov webmaster to create a page for this purpose. 7. Allocation of Tasks The Committee agreed on the following tasks: • Write a draft blurb for posting the survey on social media. Post the draft on Slack to get feedback and then finalize the blurb. In the blurb, include a request for people to forward it to friends and neighbors. (Mark M) • Research bulk purchasing options (Dan) • Update the NAC web site to include a "File a Complaint" link and page instructing residents how to file noise complaints. (Dan) • Contact Deb Brown about best way to proceed with start times and phase-out. (Nick)
