61-185 Selectmen’s Meeting – July 6, 1998 Protocol Agreement Between Gatchina, Russia and Lexington The officials of our Russian Sister City of Gatchina developed a protocol which they created around the Sister City friendship with a community in Sweden and they are most interested in replicating that with Lexington. You have before you a Protocol of Cooperation, which comes from them, for your consideration and hopefully your approval. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adopt the Protocol of Cooperation between Sister City Gatchina, Russia and Lexington. Memorandum of Understanding – Hanscom Mr. Fenn brought before the Board Draft # 10 of the Memorandum of Understanding from Massport. It comes with a recommendation from HATS and all the other players except HART. Assuming that all groups approve this document it will then go to Massport, and hope they accept it. It is not expected to be a simple process, but we hope this will emerge as a document Massport can sign. This is a very important step and the HATS Selectmen would be gratified with a vote of support from Lexington Board of Selectmen. Mrs. Krieger feels this is a significant step toward working with Massport and developing an understanding of what the scope of aviation is going to be. It is a tribute to the effort of the HATS Selectmen, as well as the citizen groups, that we have come this far. Mrs. Krieger believes the Selectmen have an obligation to support this whole-heartedly because it is an example of a collaborative effort and regional planning and one that we should use as an example. Mrs. Eddison also feels this is a great step. Mr. Fenn acknowledged Kay Tiffany and wanted to underscore the role everyone has played in getting this far. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve Draft #10 of the Memorandum of Understanding with Massport. Salary Transfers $187,279 was appropriated for salary adjustments, which represents on average a 1-1/2% increase. Mr. White requests the Board transfer $121,151.85 to the departments listed below, leaving $66,127, which will be encumbered. There is one collective bargaining agreement that has yet to be settled for Fiscal 1998 which is estimated to cost $35,000.
