Sales have been very strong in the Visitors Center. Over <br /> the 4th of July weekend, 1,500 people were in the Visitors Center. Most of the FY2021 marketing budget has <br /> been encumbered or spent. She informed the Committee of new businesses that have moved into Town. <br /> Benches <br /> Dawn McKenna explained that Kerry Brandin has identified a bench that will be appropriate for the Battle <br /> Green. <br /> A motion was made and seconded to use the general style of black metal bench as the preferred bench for the <br /> Battle Green. The motion passed by roll call vote 7-0. <br /> Panel on Presidents <br /> Dawn McKenna mentioned that it was brought to her attention that we did not have an exhibit panel for the <br /> Visitors Center highlighting the three presidents that have visited Lexington and asked the Committee if we <br /> should do so. Staff was open to the idea, but mentioned that Economic Development does not have a budget for <br /> it and that this new panel should not be placed on the first floor of the Visitors Center. <br /> A motion was made and seconded to request the opportunity to create a panel of the Presidents who have <br /> visited Lexington. The motion passed by roll call vote 7-0. <br /> Reappointments and Training <br /> Dawn McKenna explained that the appointments for all Tourism Committee members are up in September. Jon <br /> Himmel stated that he does not want to be reappointed. Dawn reminded the Committee that all members have to <br /> be up to date on their ethics training to be reappointed. <br /> 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
