61-380 Selectmen’s Meeting – July 12, 1999 scheduled passenger service to Hanscom Field. HFAC is required by statute to review all proposals regarding Hanscom. Massport has scheduled its Board to approve this aviation proposal at its meeting on July 15. Mr. Lieberman stated it is essential that we all agree to hold Massport to its obligation to respect the process to which it has agreed and to its obligation to act legally and responsibly. The residents of Lexington and the other Hanscom area communities ask for your help in your role as Senate President to have Massport respect the policies and processes it has established and to which it said it would adhere. We hope you will encourage Massport not to bring this proposal before its Board before HATS and HFAC have completed their work. Mr. Birmingham believes that if they agreed to a process they should follow it. The board thanked Mr. Birmingham for coming. Lexington Commission 2000 Schedule Mr. Hayward provided the Board with updated information packages with a cover summary to date. Lexington Commission 2000 is excited that for the first time since 1775 the events of that first day will be reenacted in chronological order. The BCC and several other national and cable stations came to Lexington to film different sites and are going to be showing the events this coming April. We believe we will increase the tourist numbers for this event and for future years also. The tentative schedule is as follows: Friday, April 14, 2000 Paul Revere’s Ride (instead of Sunday night) Lincoln Capture Site of Paul Revere. Possible Fife and Drum Tattoo on the Battle Green Saturday, April 15, 2000 Battle on the Lexington Green (will be on Saturday morning because we don’t want to conflict with the marathon and we want to include people who don’t normally have the Monday holiday and because we are the only state that celebrates Patriot’s Day on Monday) Battle Road Retreat (expect over 1,000 reenactors to come from 25 states, plus Canada and a large British unit from England)
