Both <br />representatives from out-of-district towns that send students to Minuteman Tech and <br />representatives from in-district towns have met/will meetseparately with state officials to discuss <br />their positions. <br />Mr. Parker reported that the Ad hoc Community Center Advisory Committee has established a <br />number of working groups (e.g.security, governance, technology) to work on different elements <br />associated with operating the Lexington Community Center(LCC)when it opens. It was noted <br />that the Board of Selectmen(BoS)hasnot determined how the space in the Muzzey Building <br />will be used after the Senior Center is moved out of that building into the new LCC.At a future <br />meeting, this Committee will consider whether to recommend including such a decision on its <br />list of recommended goals for the BoS. <br />Minutes: <br />2.There was a motion and a second to approve the March 31, 2014,minutes with <br />minor edits. The motion passed. VOTE: 6-0 <br />Proposed changes to the March 24, 2014,minutes will be distributed by Mr. Bartenstein. <br />Minutes for February 26, 2014,and March 19, 2014,are still being reviewed. <br />Review and Confirm Positions on Warrant Articles: <br />3.Mr. Parkerreported that he <br />expects a motion at Town Meeting tonight to reconsider Article 10 (l): Appropriate for <br />Municipal Capital Projects and Equipment; Traffic Island Renovations.There will only be <br />further discussion of this article if Town Meeting approves reconsideration.In this event, this <br />Committee can caucus after the additional deliberations to determine whether to change its vote. <br />It was noted that an argument for reconsideration relates to the cost per square foot for <br />renovating the island, which is now more clearly defined. It was also noted that a Bedford <br />company has already adopted the largest island at this intersection and this intersection has one <br />of the highest accident rates in town,but the project does not include any safety initiatives. <br />1 <br /> <br />
