The two vision statements were discussed; key points of the discussion are as follows: 1.There was general agreement between the two vision statements, showing that there is a shared vision of the Center among Committee members. 2.Other committees and regional groups, such as the MAPC, 2020 Vision, the 2005 Center charette, and the Scenic Byway Master Plan, are also working on local and regional visions for Lexington. While the Center Committee should restrict its scope to the Center, these processes and master plans should be taken into consideration as well. 3.While the Center Committee charge is out of date, it should remain separate from the vision statement for the Center. th Action taken: Discussion tabled, to be revisited at the September 16 meeting after a discussion with George Burnell 2.) Presentation on Center parking management recommendations: Jason Schrieber, Nelson Nygaard Jason presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding the status of parking in Lexington Center (e.g. availability, utilization) and recommendations for maximizing parking in Lexington Center. His draft recommendations are as follows:  Treat parking as a system: Coordinated Revenue Management (reveal, share, and maybe consolidate off-street and on-street revenues)  Create availability where it’s needed most: Performance-Based Pricing (higher hourly price on Mass Ave & Waltham, lower in Waltham & library lots, lowest in attended and Town Hall lots)
