SELECTMEN'S MEETING March 7, 1994 4�6 -S/ A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, March 7, 1994 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Dailey, Mr. McSweeney, Mr. Busa, Mr. Fenn, Mrs. Eddison; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel; Mr White, Town Manager; Mrs. Novak, Assistant Town Manager; and Mrs. Peters, Executive Clerk, were present. UPDATE ON STREET LIGHTING DEMONSTRATION PROJECT Lighting Options Committee Chairman Myla Kabat -Zinn reported on a good meeting the committee had recently with Boston Edison, who said that they were ready to move as quickly as possible with the installation of demonstration street lights on selected subdivision streets. The Board also discussed a memo from Paul Chernick, dated February 15, 1994, which reported an error in Boston Edison's computation of savings if standard High Pressure Sodium lights are used throughout Town. He reported that Boston Edison has reviewed his figures and concurs. This error has reduced the estimated savings of a town wide conversion to standard High Pressure Sodium lighting closer to $47,000, which, added to overestimated savings on lighting in the Historic Districts, results in total estimated savings closer to $80,000 than to the $140,000 previously estimated by Boston Edison. Mrs. Kabat -Zinn recommended that Board members visit the demonstration lighting areas on Percy and Bloomfield Streets where the new lighting is displayed. The Board expressed its appreciation for the information the Committee had prepared for the Board. ACCEPT GIFTS TO THE TOWN Mr. Cohen, asked that the Board consider voting to accept two gifts recently made to the Town: the first from the Family and Friends of June Denk - establishing the June Denk Award to be given annually to a Graduating Senior at Lexington High School; and the second a gift from former Lexington resident Hugh Gordon, from LaJolla, California, establishing the Gordon/Souza Juniper Hill Fund for the Maintenance of the Juniper Hill Conservation Land. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted: 1) to accept the establishment of the June Denk Award which will be given annually to a Graduating Senior at Lexington High School; and 2) to accept a gift from Hugh Gordon of LaJolla, California, establishing the Gordon/Souza Juniper Hill Fund for the Maintenance of the Juniper Hill Conservation Land.
