With Ms. Hai having called to order at 11.05 A.M the Open Session—which had been
posted also to involve an Executive Session—at 1:23 P M she then declared that an
Executive Session was warranted under the Open Meeting Law Exemption 6 (to consider
the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property) as the discussion in an open
meeting may have a detrimental effect on the negotiating position of the Town—and with
the intention to reconvene in Open Session only to adjourn. A Motion to do so was made
and seconded Each member was polled Vote 4-0
The Committee went into Executive Session at 1.24 P M
Hammond A. Hosmer House Ms Hai reported that Deb Mauger, Chair, Board of
Selectmen (BoS), had informed her that there was a proposal to move the Hosmer House
from the land adjacent to the Police Headquarters to the Munroe Tavern area and include
the Hosmer House with the other historic homes under the governance of the Lexington
Historical Society The BoS is split on whether to support this concept. The Historical
Society has expressed interest in the building, but they do not have funding for it, and
currently, there is no other identified funding source

return to Open Session Each member was polled Vote 4-0
These Minutes were approved by the CEC at its Open-Session meeting on
December 20, 2013, but without making the content public as it was still sensitive at that
time
In response to a query by Mr Kanter on May 6, 2014, Mr Valente, Town Manager, advised
that the content of these Minutes could then be made public The CEC at its joint
Open-Session meeting with the Appropriation Committee on May 7, 2014, approved
making the Minutes public and then did so by submitting these Minutes for the Town's
public archive on May 12, 2014
