Update on Lex250 Bebe reported that the Lex250 Committee is planning to host an event for Freedom’s Way “Hidden Treasures” event in May. It will focus on our historic monuments on the Green. Barry Cunha will serve as tour guide next to the Soldiers’ Memorial near Buckman Tavern and another volunteer will be stationed at the Minute Man statue. Discussion of Committee Charge The discussion on Freedom’s Way led to a concern expressed by Glen and Avram, that by designing public-facing methods to share the contents of the M&M Committee’s database, perhaps the Committee has exceeded our charge from the Select Board, which is to identify monuments and memorials throughout town and put them into a database. After a brief discussion, the committee agreed to have a more in-depth discussion at our next meeting. Approval of Policies and Procedures Manual On behalf of the Policies Working Group, George Gamota presented Draft 9 of the Policies and Procedures Manual for Proposing a New Monument, along with the submission form. Upon motion made and seconded, the committee voted unanimously to approve this document by roll call vote. Glen volunteered to begin drafting the process document for conducting the monument inventory and building the database. Miscellaneous Avram will set up a meeting with Dave Pinsonneault to explore his needs and preferences as we move further into our database design. The Retailers Association will sponsor Discovery Day on Saturday, May 27. Lexington Center will be closed to traffic and will be set up in a street fair setting, with tables, booths, food vendors, and live entertainment. This is an opportunity for committees and other non-profit groups to set up a table and interact with residents, letting people know who they are and what they do. The Town Celebrations Committee is interested in sharing a table. Linda asked if any members would be available and willing to sign up for a shift between 10 am and 3 pm if the Committee were to reserve a space. George, Glen, and Linda showed interest. We will discuss it more at our May meeting. The meeting was adjourned by roll call vote at 8:40 pm. Next meeting May 4, 2023. Respectfully submitted, Linda Dixon, Chair
