FYI –
Paul Regan, executive director of the MBTA Advisory Board, will attend the next HATS meeting on 4/23.
This can be an opportunity to re‐surface Lexington’s request for Sunday bus service and longer hours on other days.
Given the current MBTA woes, this seems like an unlikely outcome, but we can make our case again in fulfillment of
Town Meetings request at the 2014 ATM. I will raise this during Liaison Reports on Monday.

Subject: HATS ‐ Draft Agenda (and Other Udates)
Mike, Joe, and Carmin:
Please review the attached agenda and let me know if you have any comments.
Paul Regan is confirmed for April 23. His summation of his contemplated presentation is: “The service history for your
communities, what projects, if any were scheduled and any particular complaints or problems were pending. There may
be none, beyond the ongoing complaints about service on the Fitchburg Line. The big picture will be the review of
recent changes, the on‐going budget struggles and the Special Commission report due out next week, that will issue
recommendations to Gov. Baker. If you think it is important, I can also provide information regarding assessments.” I
have told Paul “all of the above”. Please let me know if you have any comments, but it sounded pretty comprehensive to
me. Also, I intend to send the agenda to the invitees to our recent roundtable discussion on transportation issues, as
well as State legislators, as well as try to get the local newspapers to pay attention, but let me know if you have any
comments on that.
Task Force Updates:
Adam Freudberg will be starting a new position tomorrow under a contract with the Air Force ‐ something along
the lines of chief innovation officer for the Base (with a full time office on the Base, in the same building as
Chuck’s office). This will essentially involve Base outreach efforts to the workforce, business community,
academia, the political world, etc., including coordination with the Task Force, MassDevelopment, etc; obviously
related to what Chuck does, but an enhancement. I expect to receive a job description from Adam soon, which I
will forward to you. In addition to being glad for him that he found something he likes in the local area and
similar to his prior work, it is of course great that we will have continued opportunities to collaborate with him
and that his knowledge and skills will still be benefitting the Base. In fact, Adam has been fully in the planning
loop for the April 10 meeting (see below).
2
I will definitely be invited to the April 10 one‐hour meeting on the Base at which Governor Baker will present the
Commonwealth’s continued support for the Base to AF Sec. James. Assuming no urgent votes in DC intervene,
all three Congresspeople are supposed to be there in person, along with senior staffers from both US Senators,
plus several of Baker’s senior cabinet members (such as Jay Ash). I have asked for and received approval to have
a short HATS document in the briefing package. If I can run it by you before deadline, I will do so, but I will be
sure to hit the highlights of who we and our communities are, why we care about the Base, and the history of
our support efforts.
Any questions or comments, let me know. Regards. Peter

million trees in Nebraska; and

provide habitat for wildlife; and

fires and countless other wood products;
Whereas: Trees in our town increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of
business areas, and beautify our community; and
Whereas: This year the Town of Lexington has once again been recognized as a Tree City
USA, the 26th year for this designation.
NOW, THEREFORE, WE, THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN of the Town of Lexington,
