To: Carl Valente, Town Manager
From: Melisa Tintocalis, Economic Development Director
Date: June 25, 2015
RE: Grain Mill Alley Temporary Installation
The Grain Mill Alley Steering Committee has met twice since May and is working to develop a
permanent concept for the area between 1775 and 1765 Massachusetts Avenue.
In the interim, the Board of Selectmen have encouraged the installation of a temporary or seasonal
installation of outdoor furniture and planters. In response, I have contacted, Laura Hopkins, the owner of
Seasons Four, a local nursery and outdoor furniture shop as well as the sponsor of the furniture at the
parklet. Ms. Hopkins has offered to provide the Town with six tables and 18 chairs; the same style used
in the parklet. These items would be purchased at cost by the Town. I have also received estimates from
the Department of Public Works on lighting, planters, and plantings.
The attached budget outlines the cost to purchase the items needed for a temporary installation,
including two canopy lighting options (electrical and solar), movable furniture, and barrel planters. It
also includes an outdoor playhouse to create a lively element of surprise geared toward children –
similar to the popular outdoor pianos that were strategically placed during the month of May. The most
expensive feature is the option for overhead electrical lighting at $12,000. The total cost with this
option is $16,406; the total cost with solar lanterns as the selected option would be $4,406.
I would like to report to the Board of Selectmen on the status of this effort, request their input, and seek
their approval to proceed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Review Draft Plan-Transition of Tourism Committee Activities (15 min.)
PRESENTER:
Melisa Tintocalis, Economic
Development Director
ITEM
NUMBER:
I.5
SUMMARY:
Following the Town's Economic Development Office successfully assuming responsibility for the Visitors
Center in September 2014, the Board of Selectmen requested that operational activities of the Tourism
Committee also be assigned to Town staff, and that this transition take place over a 12-24 month period. In
the FY16 budget, funding was approved for a Economic Development/Visitor Services Coordinator to
largely be responsible for these Visitors Center and Tourism Committee programs and activities. The
attached draft transition plan, for the Selectmen's review and comment, includes a list of all activities of the
Tourism Committee and identifies those that will become the responsibility of the Economic Development
Office.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
No motion requested. Staff is looking for Board comments or concerns.
FOLLOW-UP:
Economic Development Director will complete Transition Plan based on Board comments.

RE: Transitioning Tourism Operations
Summary
The Tourism Committee has led several noteworthy initiatives to attract visitors and enhance the visitor
experience, including the Liberty Ride Trolley Tours, the Battle Green Guide program, community
events, and strategic marketing efforts. As these activities have grown, so too has the need for ongoing
management and oversight. For these reasons, the Board of Selectmen and the Tourism Committee have
discussed transitioning operationally-intensive programs from volunteer administration to Town staff-
managed responsibilities. A benefit of transitioning these activities would be to provide for
accountability of personnel and public expenditures. In addition, the transition would clarify the role of
tourism as a function of Center vitality, the Town’s visitor services, and cultural programs. As requested
by the Board of Selectmen, this memo includes a table which lists 16 tourism programs and activities
currently undertaken and proposes a revision to the management responsibilities that could occur over a
12 month period.
Background
Three years ago, the Board of Selectmen and Town Manager reaffirmed its economic development
strategy which focused on three main areas 1) large scale commercial investment, primarily in the
Hartwell business district, 2) leveraging the life sciences industry, and 3) fostering a vibrant Town
Center, through small business support and improving the Center’s parking conditions. At the time,
tourism was not considered a function of economic development, and left exclusively to the Tourism
Committee. Since 2002, the Tourism Chair, a volunteer position, currently held by Dawn McKenna,
had become the default administrator over an expanding portfolio of tourism activities. In fact, programs
like the Liberty Ride, Battle Green Guides, Community Calendar, and Revolutionary Revelry have paid
staff and expenses included in the Town budget but lack management by any one Town department.
The Town’s finance staff had supported the Tourism Committee’s efforts and facilitated payments;
however, the first directed step to address the growing need for management was in 2013 when the
Transportation Coordinator, Jeanette Rebecchi, was assigned to the Tourism Committee to provide
regular assistance to process invoices, payroll, and provide budget oversight for the Liberty Ride, which
has resulted in approximately four hours of work per week.
Then in September, 2014, separate from the Tourism Committee’s activities mentioned above, the Town
became directly involved with the Visitors Center. The Chamber of Commerce, which had operated the
Visitors Center and gift shop for over 30 years, had restructured and requested that the Town assume
management of the Visitors Center for it to remain open. The Town Manager and Board of Selectmen
agreed to assume this responsibility and placed the management of the Visitors Center under the
Economic Development Office.
Over the past eight months, the Board of Selectmen and Town Meeting have further supported the
Visitor Center management under the purview of the Economic Development Office by approving an
augmented operating budget for FY2016 which included an additional full-time employee and essential
resources. The forthcoming staff support in the Economic Development Office has provided the
opportunity to explore transitioning other key tourism activities to the Economic Development Office
that previously the Town could not absorb.
Proposed Transition of the Responsible Parties for Tourism Programs Activities
The table below lists 16 tourism programs and activities as identified by the Tourism Committee. The
larger operationally-intensive programs are divided by “Task.” In addition, the table provides
information on the tasks that have Town funding, the current responsible party, and the proposed
responsible party as part of a transition. The transition assumes that the Tourism Committee and
Economic Development Office would maintain the same number of tourism tasks/activities without
augmenting the current program portfolio listed in the table below. The goal would be that the proposed
transition occur over approximately 12 months after the employment of an Economic Development
Coordinator position. See table below:

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING
AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Proposed FY2015 Budget Transfers
PRESENTER:
Rob Addelson, Finance
ITEM
NUMBER:
I.7
SUMMARY:
The Finance Department, in consultation with other town departments, has reviewed the status of all
appropriations and has identified those departments that are in need of transfers at year-end. There are three
potential sources of transfers at year-end: 1) 3% Rule Transfers; 2) Salary Adjustment Account Transfers
(The Salary Adjustment Account is used for funding of collective bargaining and other required
compensation that was finalized after the FY15 budget was approved by Town Meeting.); and, 3) the
Appropriation Committee’s Reserve Fund. Funding for those appropriations that have been identified as
needing transfers is recommended to come from Salary Adjustment Account and Reserve Fund Transfers.
Proposed transfers are shown on the attached table titled FY2015 Proposed Year-End Transfers. On July 9,
2015, Finance Department staff will present the proposed transfers to the Appropriation Committee for its
review and approval.
In addition, the Town will end FY15 with an estimated snow and ice deficit of $667,000. Staff recommends
that this deficit be funded in FY16 from a combination of the $300,000 of FY16 revenue set-aside for the
prior fiscal year snow and ice deficit, and Federal reimbursement for emergency snow events in the winter
of 2014/2015 that we expect to receive this fall.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
To approve the proposed Salary Adjustment Account transfers and recommend to the Appropriation
Committee a Reserve Fund Transfer of $24,000 to the FY2015 Legal budget.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING
AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Review Draft Busa Farm Conservation Restriction (15 min.)
PRESENTER:
Carl F. Valente, Town Manager
ITEM
NUMBER:
I.8
SUMMARY:
The Community Farming Committee and Town Manager, with the input of LexFarm, have been working
with Town Counsel on the Busa Farm Conservation Restriction (CR). A CR on this property is required by
law, given that this parcel was purchased with Community Preservation Act funds. In order to more this CR
forward, a number of steps were first required, including:
Divided the parcel into two lots through an Approval Not Required (ANR) Plan filed with the
Planning Board. There is now one lot for community farming/open space purposes, which will be
subject to the CR; and a second lot for community housing, which will be transferred to LexHab (in
process);
•
Removed the Registered Land status of the parcel. The parcel, when purchased by the Town, had
registered land status. Town Counsel recommended that the parcel be removed from this status. It
took several months for the Court to act on this.
•
Identified an entity to hold the CR. The Massachusetts Farm Bureau has agreed to hold the CR.•
Following any comments or changes by the Selectmen, the CR will be sent to the Massachusetts Executive
Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) for its review and approval.
Prior to sending this to the EOEA, does the Board wish to take any additional public comments at a
subsequent Selectmen's meeting?
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
FOLLOW-UP:
Town Manager and Town Counsel will make any final revisions prior to draft CR being sent to EOEA.

limitation of, any other rights and remedies available to the Grantee for the enforcement of this
Conservation Restriction. Grantee agrees to cooperate for a reasonable period of time prior to
resorting to legal means in resolving issues concerning violations provided Grantor ceases
objectionable actions and Grantee determines there is no ongoing diminution of the conservation
values of the Conservation Restriction. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor covenants and
agrees to reimburse to Grantee all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred in good faith enforcement of this Conservation Restriction or in taking reasonable
measures to remedy, abate or correct any violation thereof; provided, however, that Grantor shall

Grantor successfully challenges as evidenced by a final, unappealed determination of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
B. Non-Waiver
Enforcement of the terms of this Conservation Restriction shall be at the discretion of Grantee.
Any election by the Grantee as to the manner and timing of its right to enforce this Conservation
Restriction or otherwise exercise its rights hereunder shall not be deemed or construed to be a
waiver of such rights.

obligation relating to the condition of the Premises pertaining to compliance with and including,
but not limited to, hazardous materials, zoning, environmental laws and regulations, or acts not
caused by the Grantee or its agents.
D. Acts Beyond the Grantor’s Control
Nothing contained in this Conservation Restriction shall be construed to entitle the Grantee to
bring any actions against the Grantor for any injury to or change in the Premises resulting from
causes beyond the Grantor’s control, including but not limited to fire, flood, storm and earth
movement, or from any prudent action taken by the Grantor under emergency conditions to
prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Premises resulting from such causes.
V. ACCESS
A. Access by the Grantee
The Grantor hereby grants to the Grantee, or its duly authorized agents or representatives, the

The Grantor also grants to the Grantee, after notice of a violation and failure of the Grantor to

with respect to the Premises as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to remedy or abate
any violation hereof.

except during certain limited times of the year when such access would interfere with agricultural
activities being conducted on the Premises, in which case limited public access must be posted on
the Premises, including the dates during which such limitations or access prohibitions are in
effect. The Grantor hereby reserves the right to alter the locations of established trails, provided
that as so relocated, neither the conservation values of this Conservation Restriction nor access to
and passage through the Premises is impaired. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantee
hereby expressly disclaims any duty to maintain the Premises or warn persons who may enter
upon the same. Pursuant to Chapter 21, Section 17c of the General Laws of Massachusetts, as
amended, neither the Grantor nor the Grantee is liable to any member of the public for injuries to
person or property sustained by such person while on the Premises in the absence of willful,
wanton, or reckless conduct.
VI. EXTINGUISHMENT
A. Termination by Judicial Proceeding Only
If circumstances arise in the future which render the purpose of this Conservation Restriction
impossible to accomplish, this restriction can only be terminated or extinguished, whether in
whole or in part, by judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law.
B. The Grantee’s Property Right in the Conservation Restriction; Value
Grantor and Grantee agree that the grant of this Conservation Restriction gives rise to a real
property right, immediately vested in the Grantee, with a fair market value that is at least equal to

to the value of the unrestricted property at that time. Such proportionate value of the Grantee’s
property right shall remain constant.
C. Grantee’s Right to Recover Value of its Property Right
If any change in conditions ever gives rise to extinguishment or other release of the Conservation
{A0232776.7 } 10
Restriction under applicable law, then Grantee, on a subsequent sale, exchange, or involuntary
conversion of the Premises, shall be entitled to a portion of the proceeds equal to the
proportionate value set forth in Paragraph VI.B. All reasonable and directly-related expenses
incurred by the Grantor and the Grantee shall first be paid out of any recovered proceeds, and the
remaining proceeds shall be distributed between the Grantor and Grantee in such proportionate
value, subject, however to the requirements of any gift, grant, or funding program or applicable
law which expressly provides for a different disposition of the proceeds.
D. Cooperation Regarding Public Action
Whenever all or any part of the Premises or any interest therein is taken by the state or federal
government by public authority under power of eminent domain, then the Grantor and the Grantee
shall cooperate in recovering the full value of all direct and consequential damages resulting from
such action. All related expenses incurred by the Grantor and the Grantee shall first be paid out of
any recovered proceeds, and the remaining proceeds shall be distributed between the Grantor and
Grantee in shares equal to the proportionate value set forth in Paragraph VI.B. All related
expenses incurred by the Grantor and the Grantee shall first be paid out of any recovered

such proportionate value, subject, however to the requirements of any gift, grant, or funding
program or applicable law which expressly provides for a different disposition of the proceeds

deed or other legal instrument by which it divests itself of any interest in all or a portion of the
Premises, including a leasehold interest, and to notify the Grantee within twenty (20) days of such
transfer. Failure to do so shall not impair the validity or enforceability of this Conservation
Restriction. Any transfer will comply with Article 97 of the Amendments to the Constitution of

condition of the Premises as of the date of the execution of this Conservation Restriction.
Verified originals of the Baseline Documentation Report will be deposited with the Grantor and
in the permanent records of the Grantee. If the originals of said Baseline Documentation Report
are subsequently destroyed by casualty or other circumstance, other evidence may be offered by
the parties to establish the condition of the Premises as of the date of this Conservation
Restriction.
No documentary stamps are required hereon because the Grantee is a municipality.

Massachusetts Avenue 3 Intersection Project Discussion and TSG Recommendation for
Waldorf School and Munroe Center for the Arts Pedestrian Crossings (10 min.)
PRESENTER:
Selectmen's Discussion; and
Recommendation from Traffic Safety
Working Group (Town Manager)
ITEM
NUMBER:
I.12
SUMMARY:
Part 1: Board of Selectmen to provide Engineering staff with questions/comments on Massachusetts Ave.
three-intersection project, so that staff can provide responses at July 13 Selectmen's meeting. Potential
discussion items for July 13 include:
Schedule for additional public input;•
Further detail regarding round-about option for Pleasant Street intersection; •
Further detail regarding Marrett Road options; and•
Consideration for appealing the MassDOT requirement for overhead traffic signals for the East
Lexington Fire Station.
•
Part 2: The Traffic Safety Working Group (TSG) is recommending that the pedestrian crossings at the
Waldforf School and Munroe Center for the Arts be changed from full signalized crossings to a pedestrian
controlled post mounted Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon.
These two systems, at the Waldorf School and Munroe Center for the Arts, are 29 and 39 years old
respectively. Both of these systems are functionally and structurally obsolete. Equipment failure in the near
term is likely. Replacement in-kind is estimated in excess of $50,000 per location. Upgrading to RRFBs is
estimated at $20,000 per location. The operational costs (electrical) are also expected to be less due to the on
-demand usage only.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
(Approve) (Not Approve) the recommendation of the Transportation Safety Group for Rectanglar Rapid
Flashing Beacons at the Waldorf School and Munroe Center for the Arts pedestrian crossing. If approved
by the Board, these two crossings would be programmed into future year's capital budgets as part of the
ongoing traffic signal upgrade program.
FOLLOW-UP:
At the Board's July 13 meeting, Engineering will be prepared to respond to Selectmen's questions and
propose follow-up public meeting(s) dates for the Mass. Avenue intersection project.
