Select Board Meeting
July 12, 2021
A remote participation meeting of the Lexington Select Board was called to order at 7:05 PM. on
Monday, July 12, 2021 via Zoom remote meeting services. Select Board Chair Ms. Hai; Vice Chair Mr.
Lucente; and members Mr. Pato; Ms. Barry; and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy, Town
Manager; Ms. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager; and Ms. Katzenback, Executive Clerk.
Ms. Hai stated that the meeting was being conducted via zoom as posted with the agenda on the Town’s
website, noting that some members and staff were participating from the Select Board meeting room
using the Meeting Owl Pro device to test the technology for hybrid meeting participation.
Ms. Hai provided directions to members of the public, watching/listening via the Zoom application,
regarding the procedure for making a public comment. Ms. Hai reminded Board members, staff, and
members of the public about Lexington’s Standard of Conduct regarding civil discourse during Town
Government meetings.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue, expressed his objection to limiting each within-agenda public
comment to 2 minutes, rather than to the previously allowed 3 minutes. He also expressed concern with
elements of the June 28, 2021 Select Board meeting discussion regarding the potential creation of a new
Historic District, “Mount Independence”. Mr. Pressman noted that the number of public comments in
support of the new district left an impression that there is no substantive counterpoint of view, such as
potential public benefits the proposed development might provide or how historic district restrictions
generally diminish opportunities for affordable housing and population diversity.
SELECT BOARD MEMBER CONCERNS AND LIAISON REPORTS
The Board agreed to continue to submit written Select Board concerns and liaison reports for inclusion in
the meeting packets. It was noted that Board members can also comment at the time of the meeting with
any additional information.
th
Ms. Barry congratulated Sal Frelick, a 2018 Lexington High graduate, for being the 15 pick in the Major
League Baseball draft. Mr. Frelick will play for the Milwaukee Brewers.
ACTION: Continue to pilot sharing of comments and concerns in written form.

Ms. Barry asked that the date of adoption of the Town of Lexington Remote Work Policy be inserted into
the Select Board Policy. Mr. Pato asked that a clause to provide flexibility be included for the Select
Board Remote Work Policy to always refer to the most current Town of Lexington Remote Work Policy.
The motion to adopt the policy was therefore revised to read:
“The Select Board Remote Work Policy shall be the same as the Town of Lexington Remote Work Policy
a dopted on May 10, 2021, or the same as Town of Lexington Remote work Policy that may be amended
from time to time thereafter, with the following changes to reflect the reporting structure of Select Board
Staff:

Board.”

2. Review and Approve Fleet Electrification Policy
Stella Carr, Sustainability Director, stated she was requesting Select Board feedback and approval for the
edited Fleet Electrification Policy. She stated that Sustainable Lexington voted the policy after offering
revisions to an earlier draft.
Mr. Pato said he is willing to adopt the policy as revised but hopes to refine it in the future to include the
sub-contracted School Bus fleet as well as an expression of general preference for hiring other sub-
contractors (such as Lexpress and the Liberty Ride) that use electric vehicle fleets.
Ms. Hai said she would like there to be definable measurement of what “fiscal feasibility” and
“practicality” mean.
Ms. Barry asked whether the policy also applies to the School Department vehicles used by the Schools
and further whether Public Facilities’ vehicles, a shared department between Municipal and Schools, is
also included.
Ms. Carr said School Department’s vehicles are all contracted, not owned. Ms. Barry noted that the policy
as it reads includes “an inventory of all vehicles owned, leased, leased and operated by the town or on
behalf of the town”, which would presumably include contracted vehicles. Ms. Barry feels the impact of
this policy would be stronger if the School Committee also adopted it, as was the case with the Integrated
Building Design Policy.
Mr. Sandeen recommended deleting the enumeration of different vehicles inthe definition section as it
potentially conflicts with a later enumeration of vehicles in the policy. He agreed with Mr. Pato that the
policy should cover contracted vehicles. He felt that the Town should take responsibility for all vehicles
operated on behalf of of the Town.
Mr. Sandeen said he would also welcome School Committee approval of the policy. He asked that the
reference to grant funding be expanded to include rebates and incentives He also recommended that the
fleet electrification plan include a plan for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Mr. Lucente said he would like to review the policy again once suggested revisions have been made. Ms.
Hai concurred.
Mr. Malloy recommended that the Select Board request the School Committee to consider approval of a
similar policy rather than waiting for joint approval of this particular policy. He also noted that the
financial feasibility issue will need further discussion to determine at what tipping point price becomes
too prohibitive to justify in the trade-off between sustainability goals and expense.
Ms. Hai said she believes including such a metric in the policy would be helpful. Mr. Sandeen said the
cost of electric vehicle charging infrastructure should be part of life-cycle estimations. Mr. Pato agreed
life-cycle considerations should be included and he also believes the financial feasibility threshold will
change over time so the policy should reference a metric to be developed.
ACTION ITEMS: Public comments on this item can be submitted by email to the Select Board office;
revisions referenced above will be made to the policy which will come back to Select Board for a vote at
a later meeting.

3. Update From Planning Board on Fiscal Year 2022 Work Plan for Consideration of Fall Town
Meeting
Charles Hornig, Planning Board Chair, presented the Planning Board work plan for the next few years
that includes 24 initiatives:
1) The Comprehensive Plan update (high priority);
2) Zoning Bylaw and Map: 475 Bedford Street landowner petition (medium priority);
3) Zoning Bylaw and Map: East Lexington (medium priority);
4) Zoning Bylaw and Map: Center Business District (medium priority);
5) Zoning Bylaw and Map: Small Commercial Districts (low priority);
6) Zoning Bylaw and Map: Forbes Road+ TMO-2 (low priority);
7) Zoning Bylaw and Map: Spring Street + TMO-3 (low priority);
8) Zoning Bylaw: MBTA Community Requirement via 40R/Mixed Use/Multi-family (high priority);
9) Zoning Bylaw: Missing Middle Residential (high priority);
10) Zoning Bylaw: Open Space Residential Development (OSRD) (medium priority);
11) Zoning Bylaw: Parking; residential (medium priority);
12) Zoning Bylaw: Special Permit Residential Development (SPRD) (medium priority);
13) Zoning Bylaw: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) (high priority);
14) Zoning Bylaw: Small-scale Solar Energy: (low priority);
15) Zoning Bylaw: Special Permit Criteria (medium priority);
16) Zoning Bylaw: Walls (low priority);
17) Table of Uses (low priority);
18) Zoning Bylaw: Commercial Signs (medium priority);
19) Planning Board Regulations: Landscape and Sustainability (high priority);
20) Planning Board Regulations: Site Plan Review (high priority);
21) Transportation: 25% design for Hartwell Avenue/Bedford Street Corridor Improvement Project (high
priority);
22) Transportation TMO-1 Hartwell Area TMO Plan (high priority);
23) Transportation: TMO-2 District Plan Forbes Road (low priority);
24) Transportation: TMO-3 District Plan Spring Street/Hayden Avenue (low priority).
Ms. Hai said, given the list of high priority items, there could either be a long list of zoning items on the
Annual Town Meeting 2022 warrant or the Board could instead consider calling a Special Town Meeting
in the fall of 2021 largely driven by zoning articles.
Mr. Hornig noted it is possible that not all seven of the high priority items will be ready for a Fall 2021
Town Meeting. Any zoning item on a Fall Special Town meeting warrant would require a public hearing
in September or October.
Ms. Barry said the Board and staff should have a robust discussion about what other matters besides
zoning might be included in a Fall Special Town Meeting.
Mr. Sandeen asked if commercial parking requirements, as well as the noted residential parking
requirements (item #11), are also under reconsideration. Mr. Hornig said they are not being discussed at
this time but he will take the feedback to the Planning Board.
Mr. Sandeen asked what interaction the Planning Board would have with the Select Board about the high
priority MBTA 40R Mixed Use/Multi-family initiative (item #8). Mr. Hornig said that the Department of
Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has not given enough detail on this initiative yet; once it
does, Lexington may require technical assistance from a consultant to draft bylaws or to guide a
5
feasibility study. If funds are required, the Planning Board would be in contact with the Town Manager
and the Select Board.
Mr. Sandeen asked if height is being discussed vis-à-vis commercial building standards. Mr. Hornig said
wherever “intensity” in seen in the text, height is indicated.
Mr. Lucente said, given the number of zoning items and the possibility of other articles being added, he
believes a four-night Fall Special Town Meeting should be anticipated.
Mr. Pato agreed that a Fall Special Town Meeting seems necessary. He voiced a concern that the
expected follow-up seems to be missing to the 2021 Annual Town Meeting direction to send Article 45--
Amend Zoning Bylaw & Zoning Map -Hartwell Innovation Park back to the Planning Board for further
consideration. Mr. Hornig stated that, given all the other attention being paid to Hartwell Avenue zoning,
the Planning Board did not rank the specific actions called out in Article 45 to require independent
attention but he will take Mr. Pato’s concerns back to the Planning Board.
Mr. Sandeen seconded Mr. Pato’s concern about the need to address the Article 45 issues.
Taylor Singh, 40 Hancock Street/ Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member/ad hoc Special Permit Residential
Development Committee member, asked Mr. Hornig to repeat a statement he made earlier in his
presentation about systemic racism and single-family housing.
For the record, Mr. Hornig re-stated: “In response to increased community concern about systemic
racism, we are discussing a major effort to dismantle aspects of Lexington’s 1924 exclusionary one
family zoning. This effort to once again permit missing middle housing is modeled on efforts in
Minneapolis and the state of Oregon.”
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street/Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member, had concerns about the possible
number of zoning articles that might be scheduled for a Fall Special Town Meeting, noting that zoning is
complex, especially when taken on in multiples and over Zoom instead of at an in-person Town Meeting.
Ricki Pappo, 16 Blossomcrest Road/Precinct 2 Town Meeting Member, agreed with Mr. Sandeen and Mr.
Pato that it is important to address the deferred issues in Article 45 to achieve sustainability goals. She
added that neglecting to return to these issues would be tantamount not keeping a promise.
Ms. Hai agreed to the need to schedule a Fall Special Town Meeting
ACTION ITEMS: Mr. Hornig will take Select Board and public feedback to the Planning Board for
further discussion; the Board will further discuss holding a Special Town Meeting in the fall of 2021.

4. Review Request from Greenways Corridor Committee Regarding ACROSS Lexington
Wayfinding Signs
Keith Ohmart, Greenways Corridor Committee Chair, described the project as a series of overlapping
maps that would cover the entire ACROSS Lexington route, allowing people to navigate without use of a
cell phone app or paper map. The plan includes 16 signs, mounted on four-by-four posts, and measuring
14 X 18 inches. Mr. Ohmart stated the Greenways Corridor Committee received support from all of the
relevant property managers: the Conservation Department; DPW; Public Facilities: Principals of the
Bowman and Bridge schools; the Bicycle Advisory Committee; the Historic Districts Commission; and
6
the Tourism Committee. Once Select Board approval is achieved, sign installation could move ahead later
this summer or early fall.
VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 by roll call to approve the
installation of across Lexington Wayfinding signs as proposed by the greenways corridor committee and
the letter dated June 20. June 28 2021.
DOCUMENTS: Wayfinding Sign Project—request letter, sample sign and location map
5. Discuss Charge for Ad Hoc Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Research Committee
General Board discussion ensued regarding an Ad Hoc Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Research
Committee. Mr. Lucente said he would like to broaden the wording so it does not single out racial equity
but instead includes equity for all, such as those with disabilities.
ACTION ITEMS: Board members will submit comments/feedback on the draft charge to Ms. Katzenback
or Mr. Malloy. Ms. Hai will meet with Ms. Kowalski to revise the draft that will return to the Board for
review.
DOCUMENTS: Clean. Redline, Mark Sandeen Redline
6. Discovery Day Street Fair 2021 Request
Eric Michelson, Lexington Retailers Association, provided the details of the request for an October 9,
2021 Discovery Day event that would take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Massachusetts Avenue
between Marion Street and Waltham Street, including the Visitors Center lawn and Emery Park. This is a
long-standing event that normally occurs annually in the spring but was cancelled in 2020 and postponed
in 2021 due to Covid-19.
Mr. Pato said he supports the event but is not ready to approve the Beer Garden component unless the
pandemic trajectory remains flat. He is willing to revisit the question closer to the date of the event.
Ms. Hai noted that the various Town department approvals are all subject to change and adaptation. Mr.
Michelson said he will come back to the Board to request approval of the beer garden and the necessary
one-day liquor license at a later date.
Dawn McKenna, Tourism Committee Chair, reported that the Visitors Center ribbon-cutting is scheduled
for October 8, 2021. Ms. McKenna also asked that the pony rides slated for the Visitors Center lawn be
kept to the area to the right of the building to avoid impeding access to the Buckman Tavern. Columbus
Day weekend is traditionally a busy time for tourism.
VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 by roll call to approve
restricting vehicular access in the following areas for the 2021 discovery day street fair to be held on
Saturday, October 9, 2021 from 6am to 5pm: Massachusetts Avenue from Waltham Street to Meriam
Street (both sides); Muzzey Street from Massachusetts Avenue to the first private driveway; and
Massachusetts Avenue North Side sidewalk from Edison way to Wall Street;
And further move to approve parking a flatbed truck with a banner publicizing discovery day in the
Lexington center on Massachusetts Avenue in two metered parking spaces in front of depot square,
starting October 1 and ending at the conclusion of Discovery Day;
7
And further move to approve free parking in the central business district parking meters and not to charge
for parking in the depot lot on Discovery Day.
And all such approvals and locations are subject to modification as may be required by the Department of
Public Works. The Department of Public Health public safety and or the town manager up to the time of
the event.
ACTION ITEMS: Approval for the beer garden and one-day liquor license will be sought at a date closer
to the event.
DOCUMENTS: 2021 Discovery Day Request
7. Application Class II License—Deluxe Auto LLC, 363 Massachusetts Avenue
A special permit was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) on June 24 and has been filed
with the Town Clerk. No more than three vehicles are to be parked at the business location at any one
time and all application requirements have been fulfilled. The license is for the calendar year 2021 and
will expire on December 31, 2021.
It was noted that this business is not associated with the nearby Toyota dealership.
VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 by roll call to approve one
Class Two license for Deluxe Auto LLC located at 363 Massachusetts Avenue Unit 201 for the purpose
of used auto sales with an expiration date of December 31 2021.
8. Report on Community Feedback on Police Station Project and Policing in Lexington
The Board heard a presentation by Mr. Lucente and Mr. Pato regarding findings gathered through
community discussions about moving forward with the Police Station construction project. Mr. Lucente
said the task had actually been twofold: 1) to explore community attitudes toward policing in Lexington
and 2) whether there were significant underlying issues that would affect the Police Station design. Mr.
Lucente said through these discussions, he and Mr. Pato gleaned 200 pages of comments and feedback
from groups and individuals.
Tonight’s presentation to the Board focused on the building design aspect of those conversations. The
reason for this, Mr. Lucente said, was because the second area of feedback—attitudes toward Lexington
policing—did not lead to a determination that the police station construction project should continue to be
paused. The report/presentation on attitudes toward policing will take a longer time to sift through and
will therefore be delivered at a later date.
Mr. Lucente and Mr. Pato reported the community feedback covered a broad range of opinions including
the sense that some people wanted the Police Station project to move forward more quickly and others
wanted the project to be paused longer.
Some of the building design-related comments touched on an expanded notion of how the Police
collaborate with other Town departments, such as Human Services, as well a desire to generally support
youth in the community. Comments also noted that the role of policing is likely to continue to evolve.
The leading implication for building design was the desire to provide welcoming spaces where all
members of the community feel comfortable and to provide spaces where community members have
contact with Police that builds familiarity and trust. Mr. Pato said, however, that by and large, people
8
report that they feel the Police are helpful, professional, and responsive and that they appreciate the
Department as an integral element of creating a sense of safety in the community.
Mr. Lucente asked for guidance from the Board on how to present the 45 building design suggestions and
how to deliver the public comments on policing.
Ms. Hai expressed gratitude for Mr. Lucente’s and Mr. Pato’s efforts. She said she did not believe that
the Police Station project needs to remain paused. However, she asked whether Mr. Lucente and Mr. Pato
encountered sentiments similar to those reported by Carmen Ortiz \[of Town Counsel/Anderson Kreiger
LLP\] in the diversity, equity, and inclusion audit which indicated less policing satisfaction within non-
majority demographic groups.
Mr. Pato said this is an example of the sometimes-unexpected responses he and Mr. Lucente encountered:
not all comments about policing from individuals of non-majority groups were negative and not all
comments from majority groups were positive.
Ms. Barry thanked the members of the public that came forward, as well as Mr. Pato and Mr. Lucente for
conducting the research saying the approach provides a new tool for the Select Board’s toolbox regarding
how to engage with the public on important issues. She believes the Board and the Town Manager should
receive the final report, preferably by the end of September. Ms. Barry said that the 45 building-related
suggestions could be shared with the architect and/or building team and Mr. Pato and Mr. Lucente could
provide a summary of that list for the Board.
Mr. Lucente agreed, saying he anticipates he and Mr. Pato will be able to report to the Board on the
policing element of the research by the end of August.
Mr. Sandeen thanked Mr. Pato and Mr. Lucente for their long hours of effort. He stated he would like to
read more detailed written reports on both the suggestions for the Police building as well as the future of
policing suggestions that came out of the community conversations.
Ms. Hai noted that the Board has already authorized a separate project through Human Services
Committee to look at policing and mental health.
Tom Shiple, Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member, encouraged the Board to publicly share the 45 building-
related comments as well as the report on policing.
Valerie Overton, 25 Emerson Gardens, also encouraged the Board to publicly share the reports, perhaps in
conjunction with a presentation on the Human Services police mental health effort.
ACTION ITEMS: Mr. Pato and Mr. Lucente will provide an analysis to the Board and staff by the end of
August/early September about public comments regarding attitudes toward policing in Lexington Ms. Hai
and Mr. Malloy will speak with Mr. Cronin and Police Chief McLean to determine what near-term Board
meeting to bring back the Police headquarters building project for discussion and a vote.

9. Update from Town Manager on Police Policies Review
Mr. Malloy noted that all of the recommended items with a May 31, 2021 deadline in Ms. Ortiz’s policy
review have been completed and all but one of the items with a June 30, 2021 deadline have also been
completed.
9
The one remaining item with a June 2021 deadline has to do with the policy for booking LGBTQIA+
individuals. Mr. Malloy said that when Lexington’s new Chief Equity Officer becomes acclimated to the
new position, she will identify model policies to draw from in other communities.
Mr. Malloy also noted that three of the four items to be accomplished by July 31, 2021 have also been
completed. The remaining item regarding non-discriminatory job interview questions also awaits input
from the Chief Equity Officer.
Ms. Hai suggested that the due dates of the remaining items be adjusted to reflect a more realistic timeline
for completion due to the arrival of the new Chief Equity Officer.
Mr. Sandeen stated he is pleased to see the rapid progress on updating the Police policies and would like
to hear an update at a future meeting on how these new policies are changing the behaviors the Town
Manager is intending to influence.
Valerie Overton, 25 Emerson Gardens, said it would be helpful to the public to understand what type of
review will occur regarding the policy changes recommended by Ms. Ortiz. Ms. Overton added it would
be helpful to check in with communities affected by the changes to gauge how effective the changes have
been.
Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue, asked if the police keep track of which races receive citations and
written warnings since a question about race is included on the citation form. Chief McLean said the
Department conducts semi-annual and annual reviews of all written citations; information collected and
reviewed includes not only race, but sex and other recordable data. Every shift supervisor is also required
to track that information, day by day, to keep on top of any trends that might develop.
ACTION: Mr. Malloy will continue to provide updates to the Board on this item on a quarterly basis; he
pinpointed October 2021 for the next iteration. Deadline dates may be adjusted.
DOCUMENTS: July Update
