<br />Town of Lexington <br />Sustainable Lexington Committee <br />Minutes of Meeting of January 4, 2011 <br />A meeting of the Sustainable Lexington Committee (SLC) was held on January 4, 2011 <br />in the Legion Meeting Room, Cary Hall. The full committee was present. <br />Members Present: Mark Sandeen, Chair <br /> Rick Abrams, Ken Moraff, Todd Rhodes <br />Guests: George Burnell <br /> Michael Daley <br /> John Rommelfanger <br />The meeting was called to order at 7:05 pm. <br />Mr. Sandeen reviewed the rules of order by which the meeting will be managed. In order <br />for the committee to address all agenda items in a timely manner, comments from the <br />audience would be welcomed at the conclusion of the committee’s discussion of specific <br />agenda items, at the discretion of the Chair. The audience was requested to keep <br />comments focused on the agenda items under discussion and limit the comment length to <br />three minutes per person, ten minutes overall. <br />The agenda for the meeting was reviewed. The plan for the next meeting (January 25, <br />2011) is to focus on the energy efficiency program. <br />The November 18, 2010 meeting minutes were approved as submitted. <br />Stormwater Management: <br />Mr. Moraff provided an overview of his discussions with John Livsey (DPW) regarding <br />programs to address surface water management. Key points discussed in this overview <br />and subsequent discussion include the following: <br />The DPW is aware of the new technologies available to address stormwater runoff <br />and has employed some approaches at the DPW facility itself, including <br />permeable pavement. <br />The DPW has found that the permeable pavement employed at the facility is not <br />as durable as standard pavement, but acknowledges that the technology has <br />improved since its implementation at the site. <br />The DPW wants to implement new technologies at a measured pace. For example, <br />they are aware of a pilot project on a section of I-95 in Maine that is using <br />permeable pavement. They will review the costs and benefits of this application <br />of the technology as information becomes available. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br />
