Mr. Malloy arrived at 5:56 pm Mr. Bhatia presented his Minority Report which was discussed at length. The group offered various suggestions and a revised Minority Statement was offered. MINORITY STATEMENT In the view of one member of the Ad Hoc Committee, the recommendation of the Committee does not adequately address the needs of the residents of Lexington. The needs of deceased Lexington residents and their families would be well served by the construction of a crematory at Westview Cemetery. Additionally, this member disagrees with some assumptions contained in the Final Committee Report. Mr. Bhatia made a motion that was seconded by Msgr. Garrity to include a Minority Statement in the Committee Report. This Motion was approved by a Roll Call vote of 6-1 (Burnell Opposed). Page 1 of 2
