Selectmen's Meeting Minutes March 6, 2000 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, March 6, 2000 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Krieger, Mrs. Eddison, Mr. Enrich, Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. McKenna; Mr. White, Town Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk were present. Public Comments Karl Weiland, 13 Fletcher Avenue, who is on the Board of Trustees of Waldorf School spoke of the anxiety and alarm of the school board at the possibility of the Town repurchasing the Adams School building for Town purposes. The School has been in town for twenty years, has enjoyed the opportunity and has maintained a good relationship with the East Lexington community. The Board urges the Town to consider continued residency of the school in Lexington. There are fifty families who now live in Lexington as well as attending the school. The Board does not in any way want to minimize other needs of the Town but wants the Board to know of the school's deep interest in remaining in Town. Mrs. Krieger thanked Mr. Weiland for coming in and expressing the Board's concerns. The reacquisition is one item in the report that is still very preliminary. The recommendation has to be formalized. Any recommendations will not be made lightly and there area variety of other sites being considered for the Senior Center. Mrs. McKenna commented on the efforts of several local churches in collecting food and canned goods to help alleviate world hunger.
