Sustainable Lexington Committee Minutes of Meeting of February 10, 2023 A meeting of the Sustainable Lexington Committee (SLC) was held by Zoom conference. A quorum of at least six was present throughout. Members Present: Cindy Arens (chair), Celis Brisbin, Paul Chernick, Lin Jensen, Andy Joynt, Todd Rhodes, Charlie Wyman Members Absent: Rick Reibstein, Dan Voss Staff Absent: Maggie Peard Other Attendees: Mark Sandeen (Select Board) The meeting was called to order at 4:01 pm. Cindy referenced the opening statement requested by the Town Clerk and all members present responded that they could hear. Todd walked us through the latest version of the Integrated Building Design and Construction Goals Checklist. The Permanent Building Committee had met the day before and had several questions and comments. Some discussion focused on the insertion of a "Level 3: Day Shelter" in the list of Resilience Levels for Town buildings. The committee discussed this and several other questions and possible edits throughout the document. Some discussion followed as to the best way to move forward. There is a need to forward our and PBC's latest thinking to the High School Building Committee for when they meet next week, and also a path towards more formal, eventual approval by the School Committee and Select Board. In the end it was agreed that the committee should approve the revised document for sharing with the High School Building Committee (with the understanding that a next -level draft will be forthcoming for inclusion in their A&E bid package), and also invite the Permanent Building Committee to hold a joint meeting with SLC at our next meeting on February 28. The committee formally VOTED to approve the current draft of the Integrated Building Design and Construction Checklist pending resolution of the comments at a joint meeting of the Permanent Building Committee and Sustainable Lexington Committee, and to approve forwarding it in its current form to the High School Building Committee. All seven members presented voted to approve. Todd will follow up with John Himmel and Chuck Favazzo and also with Mike Cronin. The committee voted to adjourn at 4:47 pm.
