Since that time,they have been refining the article language and collecting feedback from building owners and EDAC members.The SLC is planning to meet on December 14 to formally approve the language for the article. Draft language for the warrant is provided below. AMEND GENERAL BYLAW- REPORTING, DISCLOSING,AND ASSESSING THE ENERGY AND WATER USE OF LARGE BUILDINGS. Warrant wording: To see if the Town will vote to add a new Chapter to the Town's Code of Bylaws requiring the reporting and disclosure of large building energy use, requiring assessments based on energy use, to set forth the terms and scope of such regulations or restrictions, including exemptions or waivers to the same, and further to see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of money to administer the reporting and disclosure of the large building energy use; or take any action related thereto. MassDOT Route 128/Interstate 95 Land Use and Transportation Study Working Group • 1 attended the first meeting of the working group where MassDOT outlined the objectives for the study.The process is anticipated to take about 2 years and produce a report on the 20-year outlook for the corridor.The project fact sheet can be found at: https://www.mass.gov/doc/route-128i-95-project-fact-sheet/download The project study area extends northward to just past the Mass Ave overpass at 195. 1 pointed out that Lexington has recently rezoned the Hartwell Avenue commercial district and we anticipate a significant increase in density in this area that would put more pressure on the study area corridor. I suggested that it would be good to extend the scope of the study to reach exit 49—the Bedford St. overpass and encompass new development in the Hartwell area.This was underscored by Rep Ciccolo who also pointed out that Lincoln Labs and Hanscom are both expanding and creating more development in the area. The study will establish the future land use, housing, and economic development assumptions for the segment of Route 128/1-95 between Newton and Lexington.The study will develop and analyze alternatives, present policy and infrastructure recommendations and develop an implementation plan to advance this corridor into the future. Study Goals include: o Improve Access, Safety, and Mobility for All o Support Strategic Land Use and Economic Vitality o Advance Social Equity Throughout o Contribute Environmental and Health Benefits o Develop Recommendations with Lasting Benefits The Working Group will be receiving "homework" to rank objectives relative to each goal. After receiving this, I will send out e-mail to Board Members who are welcome to advise me on your personal sense of how to rank these so I can consider how to formulate my input to the working group. I will also be sending the same material to staff members identified by Mr. Malloy.

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, Assistant 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. Ms. Hai provided directions to members of the public, watching or 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. Note: The meeting was originally scheduled to enter Executive Session but as there was a question about applicability, Mr. Malloy will instead ask one or two Select Board members to work with him and planning staff on negotiating a Preliminary Site Development and Use Plan(PSDUP). For further details, see below in the Town Manager Report. TOWN MANAGER REPORT Mr. Malloy reported that he will preside over his final International City/County Management Association(ICMA)Board meeting as President this week, September 30 and October 1,2021. The following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he plans to attend the ICMA conference in Portland, Oregon. Mr. Malloy reported that 90.8% of all Lexington residents over the age of 12 years have been fully vaccinated. 97.85%have had at least one shot;this number is rising about 2.2 percentage points every week. Mr. Malloy said that the new pay-by-phone parking app has been used 150 times in the two days since it was launched. The Town will assess the need to improve or revise the program after 30 days. Mr. Pato asked Mr. Malloy to check to see if parking and vehicle charging fees for electric vehicles are combined into a single transaction as planned. Mr. Malloy stated that he is almost ready to report back to the Board about the status of the Board's two- year goalsetting initiative. He has asked three departments for additional information to complete the report and he will include the update at the next Select Board meeting in the Town Manger Report. Regarding the cancelled Executive Session,Mr. Malloy reported he has been approached by a Lexington property owner with a 36-acre campus. There are a number of buildings on the property dating back to the 1960s. The owner was granted a PSDUP in the early 2000s; this was controversial because the property borders on a residential neighborhood as well as a wetland habitat. The owner has revised his/her thinking and hopes also to be able to revise the elements of the PSDUP with an eye to removing older buildings and constructing new ones sustainably. Mr. Malloy requested two Select Board members to assist him and staff with negotiations for a new PSDUP. He hopes to bring a new proposal back to the full Board for approval before Annual Town Meeting 2022. Mr. Sandeen and Mr. Pato volunteered to work on this initiative. 1 SELECT BOARD MEMBER CONCERNS AND LIAISON REPORTS Ms. Barry asked for an agenda item be added to a future meeting so that the Select Board, the School Committee, and the Recreation Committee could discuss the siting for the new high school. She noted that some Recreation projects may need to be reconsidered or revised. Mr. Malloy reported that DPW Director Dave Pinsonneault is currently overseeing the work of a surveying company that is sorting out jurisdiction issues within the high school campus. Mr. Malloy said the campus is composed of number of smaller parcels that have been cobbled together. He plans to meet with the surveyors in the coming days and he will forward copies of the resulting survey plan to Board members.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, said she supports the concept of a 360 Town Manager's review and asked the Board to consider including gathering insight from committee/board chairs. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Introduction of Joanne Belanger,Director of Public Health Mr. Malloy introduced Ms. Belanger saying she comes to Lexington with an impressive 30 years in municipal Public Health, serving most recently in Lowell as Director of Health and Human Services. Ms. Belanger said the majority of her career was in the Town of Andover,MA. She has experience working on environmental health issues and clinical and community nursing. Having served in these various capacities, she believes her biggest passions lie in public health. DOCUMENTS: Joanne Belanger cover memo. 2. Update on MIT Lincoln Laboratory Expansion Project Mr. Menadue, Director of Capital Projects at MIT Lincoln Lab,reported that MIT/Lincoln Lab is 3 undergoing a three-phase physical plant modernization plan for its facility that was created on the 1950s. Most of the modernization design has been done in-house and the early-phase construction will be executed by the Army Corps of Engineers with Air Force military construction("MilCon") funding. There are currently about 4000 MIT employees at this secure location whose single client is the Department of Defense (DoD). The work is underwritten by a little over $1 B in research funding. The number of Lexington residents working at MIT/Lincoln Lab has more than doubled over the past 5 years from about 60 to 139. The areas of focus for this research and development work are,basically, nano technologies, such as microchips; and rapid prototyping which Mr. Menadue explained is used in larger models that include nano technological within their systems. Once a prototype is developed and the DoD wants more built, MIT/Lincoln Labs transfers the technology out to the winning bidder for manufacture. Given that a recent DoD assessment of the MIT/Lincoln Lab facilities showed leaking roofs, structural issues, and unsafe space constraints, MIT/Lincoln Labs must upgrade its facilities or risk losing DoD contracts. The first of the three-phase modernization plan started in 2015 and focused on stabilization of immediate repairs, some of which were major. A long-term monetization plan will replace remaining 14 buildings over a 25-year period via funding obtained through a fee for each program. This will ensure that every few years, another building gets built. Mr. Menadue noted that much of the large-scale construction will take place on land owned by adjacent Hanscom Air Force Base. To build new buildings that will eventually replace older buildings,unutilized land will be opened up. Mr. Menadue stated that challenges for this project include electrical and mechanical capacities as well as adequate parking. Mr. Krawczyk, also of MIT Lincoln Lab, explained how project development funding flows normally, stating that about half of the funds go through Lincoln Lab to the subcontractors of each project. Ms. Barry, Lexington's representative to Hanscom Area Towns (HATS) asked if there is direct access from MIT/Lincoln Lab to the Base. Mr. Menadue and Mr. Krawczyk replied that,with clearance, employees can walk between the two properties but the internal access road was closed some time ago. Ms. Barry asked that HATS towns be informed of heavy trucking coming through their communities, given the demolition and construction expected over the coming years. Mr. Menadue stated that no trucks can enter through the MIT access road; all construction traffic must come through the Vandenburg Gate off route 2A. Ms. Barry received assurances that air-borne demolition dust will be kept below unhealthy levels. Ms. Barry asked what permitting process the non-MilCon projects will go through. Mr. Menadue said the projects need to go through many permitting authorities, including environmental assessment; electricity/utilities permitting, and Hanscom AFB civil engineering code enforcement. Ms. Barry noted an additional road near Wood Street in the site plan map. Mr. Menadue said he has been hoping to find a way to fund this additional road because traffic studies show it would take MIT traffic off Wood Street and alleviate traffic congestion that builds up there. There is no plan at this time to construct such a road but he would like to discuss the possibility with the Town. Ms. Barry said if this element of the plan comes to pass,the adjacent neighborhoods will no doubt have input to express. Ms. Barry asked if all 4000 employees are working onsite or if some working remotely. Mr. Krawczyk 4 believes that the number onsite currently is about 1300 because most are working remotely. The Lab is studying a remote working plan which Mr. Menadue said was still in its infancy because many employees need access to hardware only available onsite. He further noted that until the modernization construction plan is carried out, work space will be very tight. A return-to-the-worksite plan,however, is targeted for early 2022. It was noted that there is no expectation of additional employees in the Master Plan. Ms. Barry asked for Mr. Menadue and Mr. Krawczyk to present this information and some deeper analysis at a HATS meeting in the future. Ms. Hai asked the representatives to consider whether the MIT/Lincoln Lab shuttle bus between MIT and Lexington could accommodate non-employees in either direction as a way to transport commuters without adding single occupancy vehicles to the roads. Mr. Lucente asked if MIT/Lincoln Lab would continue to track its"ripple effect"figures to gauge economic impact of the surrounding area. Mr. Krawczyk said he can provide the few years of historic data that has been collected but the plan is to continue to follow the numbers which he believes will improve once the Master Plan has been fully implemented. Mr. Sandeen asked how much square footage will be constructed in total. Mr. Menadue reported that there are currently 1.8M gross square feet on campus and the finished project will be about 2.5M gross square feet. The majority of that will be an enlargement of mechanical space. DOCUMENTS: Presentation MIT Lincoln Lab Update 3. Review Request for Change of Parking Regulation Three Spaces at 844-856 Massachusetts Avenue Assistant Town Planner Sheila Page reported that the Transportation Safety Group (TAG)received a request from a business owner in the 844-856 Massachusetts Avenue block, asking to change three parking spaces to a one-hour limit to improve parking turnover. Because there are an ample number of parking spaces in that area, TAG has no objection to the request. Ms. Hai noted the crosswalk nearest the spaces is close a bus stop so pedestrians should be advised that there will be increased pace of comings and goings there. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 by roll call in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 689 of 1986 of the General Laws,the Traffic Rules and orders of Lexington, adopted by the Board of Selectmen on November 13, 1967, now Chapter 192 of the Code of Lexington, are hereby amended as follows: BY ADDING TO CHAPTER 192-18 SCHEDULE 1 THE FOLLOWING LOCATION SIDE FROM TO REGULATION Massachusetts West Independence Avenue 98 feet south of ONE HOUR Avenue Independence PARKING Avenue DOCUMENTS: Memo; Diagram; Amendment 5 4. Update on Cedar Street Sidewalk Project Ms. Hai noted that the Select Board has received an unusually high number of emails about this agenda item. Ms. Hai further noted that ongoing outreach is being conducted by the Transportation Safety Group (TSG). Ms. Page, Assistant Planning Director, and Ross Morrow, Assistant Town Engineer,provided background and details of Cedar Street sidewalk initiative that started in 2017 when signatures from 136 households were submitted to TSG, 127 of which supported a sidewalk installation for one side of the street down the length of Cedar Street. Thirty of the signatories were direct abutters in support of the project; nine signatories were against the project, four of which were direct abutters. In 2017,the case for a sidewalk was presented to TSG,which saw potential in the proposal. A land surveyor was engaged in 2018 to complete a so-called existing conditions analysis. Ms. Page further stated that a public meeting was held on September 1, 2021 to which 210 households were invited; 55 people attended and they provided what Ms. Page characterized as thoughtful input. Many people expressed concern over the removal of trees, citing the beauty of Cedar Street. There was also concern over the speed at which vehicles travel on the narrow street, especially at the Paul Revere intersection which is reportedly difficult for cars and pedestrians to navigate safely. Another difficulty is the poor sight lines after the turn onto Cedar Street from Massachusetts Avenue. Residents also noted that there is no safe place for students to wait for the school bus unless they stand in neighbors' driveways. A number of homes have walls, fences, and landscaping that might be disrupted by a sidewalk installation. Depending on which side of the street the sidewalk is placed, Ms. Page said the Town would work with homeowners whose gardens/walls/fences required removal. Disruption to yards will be repaired,however it was noted that some of the houses in question are very close to the street and privacy is an issue. Utility poles will probably have to be moved but at this point, it is not possible to state which side of the street would be chosen as the design phase has yet to be budgeted. Mr. Morrow said the full length of the street is .8 miles,with Massachusetts Avenue on one end and Pine Meadows Golf Course on the other. The pavement width varies from 18 and 30 feet, although some residents report that, due to overgrowth in some places,pavement width is down to 17 feet. The Town's Right of Way width also varies between 25 and 30 feet. There are 73 abutters along this stretch and there are 11 intersections. Since 2010, there have been 6 reported crashes. The average speed, gleaned from a speed study, is 20 mph but the maximum recorded was 38 mph. Mr. Morrow reported that,having walked the road recently,he believes 24 mph on this road feels fast. Mr. Morrow said a sidewalk on Cedar Street would add to Lexington's connectivity network. There are also school bus routes that will benefit from having a sidewalk. Mr. Morrow said there are approximately 12 trees that would have to be removed but all work would all be done within the Town Right of Way. Given all the considerations and input,Ms. Page stated that TSG recommends construction of a sidewalk along Cedar Street from Massachusetts Avene to Denver Street and asked for it to be included in the budget. Ms. Hai said she is in favor of making Lexington's walking routes as safe and accessible as possible, especially given the number of recreation facilities in this part of town. She also hopes that a sidewalk will slow vehicle speed on Cedar Street and she is happy to see the amount of engineering thought that has already been applied to the project. She is also sensitive to tree loss but noted that some of the trees tagged for removal are non-native species. 6 Ms. Barry said she supports the sidewalk and would also feel favorably about continuing the sidewalk to the end of the street rather than stopping at Denver Street. She realizes sidewalks can be controversial but they are now becoming a necessity for narrow, curvy, old New England roads. Mr. Morrow noted the difference in distance between what is proposed(to Denver Street) and full length is 2500 feet(a little less than 1/2 mile)versus 4200 feet(.8 miles). Mr. Sandeen noted he has seen an increasing number of school children biking in this area. He expressed concerns about installing granite curbing which can present a hazard for bikers that get squeezed to the edge of the road when cars pass. Mr. Morrow said this will be taken into consideration during the design phase. Mr. Sandeen asked if there is a way to divert the sidewalk around some of the statelier trees rather than remove them. Mr. Morrow said every attempt will be made to save as many trees as possible. Mr. Sandeen asked whether residential landscaping would be replaced. Mr. Morrow said that the Town will work with residents to make them happy with the outcome. Mr. Sandeen asked if the Cedar Street/Paul Revere intersection would be improved by this project. Mr. Morrow said providing safe pedestrian access through the intersection would be an improvement. Mr. Lucente said he believes sidewalks add to the overall quality of life. He noted,however that there are other areas of town that have been rated as being higher priority by the Town's assessment system. He questioned, for the sake of equity, how Cedar Street moved ahead in the waiting line for construction. Mr. Lucente agreed that granite curbing on this street is problematic. He asked if any consideration been given to making Cedar Street one-way, given all the activity in the area. Ms. Page stated that the sidewalk priority map is a tool used but TSG also takes resident request into account. Neighborhood/town connectivity needs are also weighed. Mr. Pinsonneault, DPW Director, stated that the Town uses the rating system to choose which sidewalk projects to prioritize within yearly budget allocations; citizen-generated projects coming through TSG are funded outside that yearly appropriation. Mr. Morrow said he is not sure how feasible it would be to make Cedar Street one way but he will look at it closely. He noted that making Cedar Street one-way would force traffic onto adjacent streets. Mr. Pato said he is concerned about ending the sidewalk at Denver Street, noting a pedestrian injury near the golf course which is out of the scope of the proposed project. Mr. Pato also expressed concerns about lost trees, although he favors the sidewalk in this instance. He asked that carbon sequestration be made a larger element of any consideration when mitigating the loss of a mature tree. For further information, Ms. Page noted that this project appears on the TSG webpage under"sidewalk Requests". ACTION ITEMS: Public comments will continue to be taken on this issue. TSG will continue to refine the project,providing information about tree,utility,neighborhood impacts,preferred side of the street. If the Select Boatd approves the project,partial engineering and Capital Project funding will be sought within the upcoming budget cycle(s). The next Select Board review of the project is expected in the October/November timeframe. Mr. Pinsonneault will check to see if the Hill Street sidewalk project was funded in a two-step manner.

Update on Cultural Districts Designation Ms. Coppe and Mr. Poltorzycki, Cultural District Working Group,presented an update on work being done and next steps towards applying for a Cultural District designation through Massachusetts Cultural Council. Mr. Poltorzycki stated that the Board will be asked at a later date to approve a resolution to move the application process forward. To be eligible to apply, the Town must agree to dedicate staff and resources and a public meeting must be held. Outreach will also take place on Discovery Day and at the Cary Memorial Library. The Working Group has been meeting with the Economic Development department staff to advance the initiative. The resolution will also appoint a Town official to the district's managing partnership. The partnership generally includes representation from the cultural groups in a community. Ms. Coppe noted that the Working Group has met monthly since March 2021 and has invited representatives from 65 organization to participate. Mr. Pato asked what Town obligations,beyond staff participation,there would be for a Cultural District. Mr. Poltorzycki said that once the managing partnership has been created,the district runs itself. The 8 partnership has an obligation to produce an annual report which is the basis upon which available grants can be applied. If Lexington's district is awarded grants, funds should be held in a Town account. Ms. Iyer, Economic Development Director, reported that the public meeting has been advertised in a variety of publications and Town channels. Ms. Iyer asked if funding is available to help cover the cost of advertising. Mr. Malloy will check into this. ACTION: The Public Meeting will be held.

Discuss Timeline and Process for Town Manager 360 Review Ms. Hai reported that there are two paths available to conduct this 360 Review, which is considered a best practice. The first is a customized approach that involves interviewing the subject(Mr. Malloy) and also hose who directly report to him. This process is lengthy and more expensive. The second approach is one recommended by the International City/County Management Association(ICMA) and involves an electronic tool which poses a series of questions about management style and traits. It would be administered to the Town Manager himself and to other individuals or groups as determined by the Select Board, including the Select Board and those who report directly to the Town Manager. Ms. Hai recommended the electronic tool approach. The information gathered would be submitted to Ms. Katzenback in the Select Board Office. She would organize the responses and then the Select Board would have a conversation about the findings with Mr. Malloy,possibly at the end of October. Ms. Hai and Mr. Pato will send the Board links to a website with a sampling of the electronic tools, including sample questions. All respondents are asked the same questions. Select Board members endorsed the electronic tool option approach,Ms. Malloy said he finds feedback from ICMA-approved electronic tools to be useful and asked that a wide range of Town staff be included review. ACTION ITEMS: Ms. Hai and Mr. Pato will send Board members links to the website with a sampling of the electronic tools, including sample questions. The Board will make a selection at the October 12. 2021 Select Board meeting. 10.

Select Board Chair Ms. Hai; Vice Chair Mr. Lucente; and members Mr. Pato; and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy,Town Manager; Ms. Axtell,Assistant Town Manager; and Ms. Katzenback,Executive Clerk. [Note: Select Board member Suzy Barry joined the meeting in progress, at 9:13 p.m.] VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 4-0 by roll call to ad j ourn the Open Session of the meeting at 6:30 p.m. to enter into Executive Session under Exemption 3 to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining related to the public safety dispatchers' unit and building maintenance union. Further, it was declared that an open meeting discussion may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the town. Following the close of Executive Session,the Select Board reconvened in Open Session at 7:10 p.m. Ms. Hai stated that the meeting was being conducted via Zoom as posted,with the agenda on the Town's website. Ms. Hai provided directions to members of the public, watching or 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. SELECT BOARD MEMBER CONCERNS AND LIAISIN REPORTS In addition to her previously submitted concerns and reports,Ms. Hai announced that the draft of the State's redistricting maps was released today. The proposal would take Lexington's Precinct 6 from the Middlesex 15 district and append it to Middlesex 21,which encompasses all of Bedford and part of Burlington,represented currently by Ken Gordon. A public hearing will be held on Friday, October 15, 2021 and a vote on Monday, October 18, 2021 in what Ms. Hai termed a"short process". Ms. Hai and Mr. Malloy will attend this meeting on behalf of the Select Board and the Town to express displeasure with the plan, stating that the Lexington should be kept together in Middlesex 15 and that the purpose behind redistricting to ensure minority representation is already being accomplished as evidenced by the diversity of people being elected to committees,boards, and Town Meeting. Mr. Lucente said he would like to have a more in-depth conversation about this than it is possible to, given that this item does not appear on tonight's agenda plus the timeframe for response to the State is very short. He is frustrated that the State has not given more opportunity for community feedback. He cautioned the Board,however,not to jump to the conclusion that this redistricting would not be beneficial in the way the State intends. Mr. Pato said he agreed with Mr. Lucente and he is reluctant to make a counter argument to the State at this stage. Having looked into Lexington's precinct demographics,he believes removing Precinct 6 would not dilute minority representation. Ms. Hai clarified that her concern was that the people in Precinct 6 would have a much smaller base of community if they alone in Lexington were attached to a collection of precincts outside of town. She felt Precinct 6 would miss a larger base of support if any of these Town Meeting members decided to run for higher office in the future. Mr. Sandeen said he concurred with Ms. Hai's concerns. 1 ACTION ITEMS: Ms. Hai urged those who wish to comment on this issue to do so to the appropriate State-level entities. She and Mr. Malloy will continue to gather information. Aside from his previously submitted concerns/liaison reports,Mr. Lucente noted that the Town Celebrations Committee will be asking Select Board members to confirm their intent to participate in the Veterans Day Car Parade. DOCUMENT: Select Board member concerns and liaison reports October 12, 2021 TOWN MANAGER REPORT Mr. Malloy welcomed new Town Clerk Mary de Alderete who started today. Ms. Alderete was sworn in around noon by Deborah Brown, Town Moderator. The Lexington Council on Arts intends to start painting some of the utility boxes around town this week while the fine weather holds. Ms. Hai said that if any of the designated utility boxes were in front of private homes, residents should be notified before painting occurs. Mr. Malloy has sent Select Board Members an update re: the status of the Select Board goals. He asked that comments be returned to him this week so that he can provide Select Board retreat facilitator Julia Novak with up-to-date information. The Lexington Police Department has been re-accredited.No action items were recommended by the accreditation team. ACTION ITEMS: Mr. Malloy to relay the message to the Council on Arts re: utility box notifications to homeowners, if/where applicable. CONSENT AGENDA 1.

VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 4-0 to approve the Consent Agenda ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Public Hearing and Discussion FY2022 Water& Sewer Rates Ms. Hai opened the Public Hearing at 7:22 p.m. Ms. Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance,presented information in the first of two discussions regarding FY2022 Water and Wastewater rates. The vote on this item will take place at a future meeting. Highlights of the presentation included: • Total FY2021 Water Revenue came in$2.2M over projections,primarily due to surpluses in the Irrigation category. The Water Enterprise Fund now carries an overall surplus of$2.3M. The Retained Earnings balance went from$1.7M to $3.5M. • Sewer Revenue also outpaced expectations by$398,000 plus turn backs on the Expense side equaled$563,000. Retained Earnings for Sewer/Wastewater Enterprise Fund are projected to be $1.8M at the end of FY2021. Ms. Kosnoff noted that Retained Earnings balances have historically be used for one-time Capital expenses. It is possible to use surpluses to offset rates but this has not been Lexington's past practice,however. • Ms. Kosnoff noted that the water and sewer rates are based on projected usage,which is reflected in the amount budgeted. At Special Town Meeting there will be a request to decrease 2 line items in the budget: 1)the MWRA Assessment and 2) Compensation. • The Water Enterprise budget is going up 7.7%,based largely on the MWRA Assessment, a charge that the Town cannot negotiate. Ms. Kosnoff noted that Lexington's rate is based on its share of system costs plus its past year usage. She projected that next year's MWRA Assessment will go down 4.28%. • Cash Capital is being used,whenever possible,to avoid borrowing costs for Water and Sewer maintenance/improvements. The FY2022 includes an additional $200,000 to be used for this purpose. • For FY2021,the tiered rate Water usage came in significantly higher than estimated. As there is not usually a great deal of fluctuation in these rates,Ms. Kosnoff believes the upticks on the residential side are due to Covid-related changes in behavior, such as more residents working at home instead of at an office. These behavior changes also affected commercial usage,which was significantly lower, except for irrigation usage. The same pattern was noted on the Wastewater patterns of usage. • Future usage patterns are particularly hard to predict,given weather and Covid-19 disruptions to historical trends. Ms. Kosnoff said that budget projections have been made very conservatively, with the exception of Irrigation projections which are higher. 3 • On the Wastewater side,the budget as proposed will increase 4.1%, also largely due to an MWRA Assessment increase of 3.2%. • Overall,the Water rates are proposed to go up 8% and the Wastewater rates are proposed to go up 5%. The combined rate is 6.1% over FY2021. For the lowest tier user,this would translate to an increase of about$39/yr;the second tier would see an increase of$54.60/yr. • The wholesale/Municipal/Town of Bedford cost for Water is going up 1.9%. The wholesale Sewer rate will stay flat. • Lexington's FY2021 combined Water and Sewer rates are in the middle of the pack, compared to the other member towns. Mr. Lucente said that persistent rate increases are putting Lexington on an unsustainable path. He asked if the Town should be contemplating a strategy change. Ms. Kosnoff agreed that the rate increases have been unfortunate and they are also difficult to predict. Lexington's MWRA assessment is based not only on Lexington's usage but also on the usage of the other member towns. She believes the installment of automatic-read radio meters will help provide real-time data collection and allow for quarterly billing, as well as take the guesswork out of consumption predictions. After all the automatic meters have been installed,Ms. Kosnoff believes a full analysis of the system and a re-evaluation of the tiered rate system, including commercial consumption,will be warranted. Ms. Hai asked if using some of the Retained Earnings to shave off rate increases would be a way to mitigate user costs. Ms. Kosnoff said this is possible to do at Special Town Meeting and would be tantamount to pausing the transfer of surplus to Cash Capital for a year($2M for Water and$1 M for Sewer). Mr. Malloy cautioned that the purpose transferring these funds is to avoid borrowing for what are ongoing/maintenance expenses. Over time, the costs would become part of the yearly budget instead of being borrowed for, and thus incurring debt and interest payments. Mr. Sandeen asked if there is a breakdown of residential versus commercial usage so that programs to reduce usage can be tailored to each category of consumer. Ms. Kosnoff said that accounts are currently not flagged as residential or commercial but the radio meters should improve the Town's ability to distinguish one category of user from the other. Mr. Kanter,Vice Chair of the Capital Expenditures Committee, asked if it would make sense to install a sewer meter for the six or so customers that do not have a water meter because they use their own well water. Dave Pinsonneault,DPW Director, said he has looked into doing that but the technology is not available. The Department is keeping an eye on advances in the field. Ms. Hai closed the Public Hearing at 7:52 p.m. ACTION ITEMS: The Water and Sewer rates will be voted at an upcoming meeting. DOCUMENTS: FY2022 Water and Sewer Proposed Rate Memo; FY2022 Water and Sewer Rate Presentation; Legal Ad published on 9/30/21 2. Update of Police Station Building Project Design Mr. Cronin,Director of Facilities stated that multiple Town committees, as well as members of the public,have provided input and critiques about the Police Headquarters design. Architect Jeff McElravy of Tecton Architects shared two schematic designs plus an overview of the community conversations about the design and policing. 4 Design Option A is a slight modification of the original design that was approved by the Select Board but sidelined because of the pandemic. Design Option B incorporates more of the committee and community input but it also adds square footage which will increase the overall cost of the project. Some of the changes/additions shown in Option B included non-gendered restrooms and locker rooms; flexible floor plans versus fixed program space; mental health service offices sharing police department space; inclusivity and accessibility concerns;providing a welcoming, inviting atmosphere;providing community gathering spaces;providing transparency between spaces but also providing soundproofing for confidential/sensitive conversations/interviews. Mr. Lucente said he appreciated the attention paid to the community feedback in the design of Option B. One element of that plan he is less supportive of is the multi-purpose room which he said seems overly generous given the number of other meeting rooms and conference spaces. Mr. Pato also prefers Option B for its future growth potential but he noted that Option A also addresses much of the community needs. For him, a big question is how much more Option B would cost than Option A and if the differential manageable. Ms. Hai expressed similar reactions,noting that the project was downsized at one point due to cost and then put on hold.Now some of what was engineered out has been returned to the design. Before a final choice is made, cost must be assessed. Mr. Sandeen asked if the locker rooms could eventually be adjusted to be the same size if staff ratios shift. If not,he would prefer Option A in which the ability to adjust the locker rooms has been made evident. Cost is also important to him. Mr. McElravy said he is confident that additional flexibility can be built into the design of Option B's locker rooms. Interim Police Chief Michael McLean stated that the reason the multipurpose meeting room was added to Option B is that the future of policing is unknown and the space allows flexibility for change. Without a doubt,he projected the need for additional training and simulations in the future plus the high likelihood that social services will become more embedded within the department. Mr. Cronin said the original plan nearest in square footage to Option A carried a working total of $25M before Covid. Since that time,raw materials, changes in labor, and competing regional projects have altered the construction landscape. Right now,Mr. McElravy estimated costs for Option A to be $30M and$32.8M for Option B but he emphasized that he is unsure which way the market will swing given all the unknowns. The modest modification costs for to the temporary swing space are not included in this cost estimate but there is $250,000 included for the relocation of the Hosmer House. Select Board members unanimously expressed their preference for Option B,reasoning that the cost differential was low enough in exchange for the added benefits, at least as calculated at this early stage of design. Mr. Sandeen cited the Permanent Building Committee's philosophy about the project, saying the cost would never be lower and waiting only adds to the price tag. Mr. Malloy stated that, for the average household,the additional cost of Option B, given the 20-year loan timeframe,would add an additional $36 a year in taxes. Over Option A Ms. Hai noted that authorization for this project will require a debt exclusion vote and the timing will need to be discussed. Mr. Himmel, 66 Hancock Street, said he believes it is important to move quickly to nail down the specifics of this project. Ms. Overton, 25 Emerson Gardens, offered her assistance to further the conversation about the gendering of the locker rooms. She was please that Option B is going forward. 5 Mr. McCaw, Precinct 6 Town Meeting member, applauded the decision to move forward with the more flexible Option B but added that flexibility can be achieved without using walls to delineate spaces. He would like to see a comprehensive overview of what taxes would be if the Police HQ debt is added to the other added costs from Community Preservation,Water Stabilization, and the projected high school debt. Mr. Shiple, Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member, asked how many bicycle-mounted patron officers can be accommodated in Option B. Mr. McElravy said there is a good amount of space on the garage for bicycles but he will have to look again at exactly what the count is. Interim Chief McLean added that all new officers are now being trained in Police Academy for bicycle patrol but the count would never be so high that space would become an issue. ACTION ITMES: The plans will be further refined prior to Special Town Meeting requests for design and swing space allocations. DOCUMENTS: Tecton Architects Police station presentation The Select Board took a five-minute break at 9:07 p.m. and resumed the meeting at 9:11 p.m. Ms. Barry entered the meeting at 9:13 p.m. 3. Grant of Location for Eversource Reed Street Ms. Hai opened the Public Hearing at 9:15 p.m., seeing no hands raised to speak,Ms. Hai closed the Public Hearing at 9:15 p.m. VOTE:Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve a Grant of Location to NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource Energy to construct a line of conduits and manholes with the necessary wires and cables to be located under the following public ways in the Town of Lexington as follows: Reed Street — Northeasterly from pole 82/5A, approximately 208 feet east of Vaille Avenue, install approximately 45 feet—conduit as shown on the plan made by T. Thibault revised date September 1, 2021 for the purpose to provide underground electric service to 186 Bedford Street. DOCUMENTS: Eversource Grant of Location Petition Reed Street 4. Grant of Location for Verizon and Eversouce Installation of New and Relocation of Existing Poles on Massachusetts Avenue and Worthen Road Ms. Hai opened the Public Hearing at 9:16 p.m. Mr. Sandeen noted that although the submitted plan seems to make approval of this pole relocation advisable, a recent visit to the site revels that the intended relocation would potentially harm/kill an existing large tree's root structure. Mr. Sandeen said he could not support the request if the tree would be harmed. He further recommended that future requests of this nature include the location of existing trees. Dave Pinsonneault, DPW Director, said his understanding is that the pole placement has been thoroughly vetted; there are no other trees in the area that would be affected. He will look at the site closely to ascertain the best pole re-location. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that, if at all possible,nothing would be done to damage the tree. Ms. Hai suggested rewording the motion so any relocation would not adversely affect the tree. Mr. Sandeen was agreeable to this revision. 6 Ms. Hai closed the Public Hearing at 9:22 p.m. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 by roll call to approve a Grant of Location to Verizon new England, Inc and NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource Energy for a Grant of Location to locate poles, wires, cables and fixtures including the necessary anchors, guys and other such sustaining and protecting fixtures to be owned and used in common by the petitioners, along and across the following public way or ways: Massachusetts Avenue: • Place one(1)JO pole,P.17-2 on the northerly side of Massachusetts Avenue at a point approximately 73' southeasterly from relocated pole, P.17-1. Said pole being located on Worthen Road. • Relocate two(2)JO poles,P.153 and P.154 on the southerly side of Massachusetts Avenue at a point approximately 4' and 7' southeasterly from existing pole locations such placements not to adversely affect any existing trees. • Relocate one(1)JO pole,P.17A from the northerly side of Massachusetts Avenue at the intersection of Worthen Road to a point approximately 92' in a southeasterly direction to the easterly corner of Massachusetts Avenue. Worthen Road: • Relocate one pole, P.17-1, from the easterly side of Worthen Road to a point approximately 4' easterly from existing pole location. in accordance with the plan marked-VZ N.E. Inc. Plan No. 1A3W2TM Dated August 27, 2021. ACTION ITEMS: Mr. Pinsonneault to examine the proposed pole relocation. DOCUMENTS: Petition Map/Abutters list; Order 5. Vote Update of Town Reprecincting Map Ms. Sperber, Assistant Town Clerk,presented a reprecincting plan based on the 2020 Census. This process is required by law to fairly represent increases/decreases in population. Ms. Sperber stated that the 2020 census cites Lexington's population as 34,454 residents. The plan preserves nine voting precincts while making adjustments to evenly distribute the population and bears the least impact while meeting both deviation restrictions and maintaining allowable configurations. Asking for Select Board approval,Ms. Sperber stated that once this approval is received, the plan must be submitted to the Local Election Districts Review Commission(LEDRC)by October 30, 2021. Once approved by the LEDRC,precinct boundaries will become effective on December 31, 2021.Notifications of the change will be made to the media and effected households. Two Town Meeting Members will be affected by this redistricting and both have been notified. Mr. Sandeen said he will forward the name of a third Town Meeting Member who may also be affected by this plan. Mr. Kanter,48 Fifer Lane, asked what the affected Town Meeting Members have to do,now that their precinct number has changed. Ms. Sperber said the members will have to run again for a seat in their new precinct. 7 VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve and accept the 2020 Reprecincting Plan for the Town of Lexington, including the map, legal description, and block listings as presented by the Acting Town Clerk. ACTION ITEMS: Select Board members will sign the necessary document; the Town Clerk's office will then file that document with the LEDRC. DOCUMENTS: Memo to Select Board outlining process and request for review/approval at the Oct 12 meeting; Map as provided by State showing new precincts; Block List; Legal boundary description; Form for Board approval signatures; Ma with current precinct lines overlay on mew precinct(comparison only) 6. Community Feedback on Police Station Project and Policing in Lexington Part 2: Feedback on Policing Ms. Barry recused herself from this item as her husband is employed by the Police Department. Mr. Pato and Mr. Lucente provided highlights of the community conversation on Policing and Public Safety that they facilitated following the killing of George Floyd in May of 2020. The report presented tonight is Part 2 of two; Part 1 covered feedback pertaining specifically to the Police HQ building. Highlights of Part 2 included: • In general, community members were generally supportive of the Lexington Police Department and of proceeding with the new HQ construction. • While preserving respondent confidentiality, Mr. Pato reported that comments included both positive and negative descriptions of encounters with Police. In some cases, action has already been taken to address concerns. • Collected feedback has been organized alphabetically into 10 categories: bias; effectiveness; engagement; governance;miscellaneous (an assortment of comments that did not fit cleanly into the other categories); politics; process;possible improvements; staffing; training. Ms. Hai and Mr. Sandeen believe there is a lot to be learned from this report and that the responses can be used to inform future decisions regarding policing in Lexington. Mr. Shiple, Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member suggested providing copies of this report to candidates for the job of Police Chief so that their perceptions can be noted in the hiring process. Mr. Malloy reported that he and Interim Chief McLean went through the report and submitted a response document which has been posted online. He asked the Board to review that document prior to approving the report at a future meeting. He emphasized that the Town is using the report as a framework. Response to the community comments will be ongoing. Interim Chief McLean added that he looks forward to working with the Chief Equity Officer on these measures going forward. ACTION ITEMS: The completed, compiled report will be approved at a future Select Board meeting and held on file for future reference. DOCUMENTS: Policing Feedback Report(Part 2); Policing Feedback Report Response from Staff Ms. Barry returned to the meeting. 7. Special Town Meeting 2021-1: • Approve Special Town Meeting 2021 Warrant 8 VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve and sign the Special Town Meeting Warrant 2021-1 and authorize staff to make non-substantive edits as necessary or as recommended by Town Counsel or Bond Counsel. • Presentation STM-1 Article: Appropriate for Community Preservation Projects Ms. Fenollosa, Chair of the Community Preservation Committee,presented details of three time-sensitive projects coming before Special Town Meeting, noting that Community Preservation projects generally come before Annual Town Meeting only. These projects are: 1) supplemental funding for the Sutherland Playground; 2) Parker Meadow Accessible Trails Construction; 3) Old Rez Bathhouse Reconstruction(a revised plan). Mr. Lucente asked that there be more contextual information about the playground project which is focused on children 5-12 instead of the younger children usually served by playground infrastructure. Mr. Sandeen recommended that additional context also be provided for the Old Reservoir Bathhouse. Ms. Axtell said that type of information will be included on the Special Town Meeting webpage. • Presentation STM-1 Article: Appropriate for Westview Cemetery Building Construction Mr. Pinsonneault stated that all of the five bidders for this project came in over the $3,290,000 appropriated by Annual Town Meeting 2020. As with the Police Station estimates,the estimate for the Westview Cemetery building construction has increased due to postponement,materials costs, labor shortages, and regional competition for contractors. The project has been value engineered to refine as much as possible but Mr. Pinsonneault reported it is believed another$770,000 will be needed. The hope is that if Special Town Meeting approves this appropriation,the bid will go out in early 2022 and the project will commence after a bidder has been chosen. Ms. Barry asked if the cost estimate would change if the building is not made "crematory ready"to allow for that addition at a later date. Mr. Pinsonneault and Mr. Cronin concurred there would be some cost savings if the crematory-related additional square footage,plumbing, and HVAC systems were taken out of the design but Mr. Cronin stated that a re-design would cause additional delays and related costs increases and another bidding cycle would be lost. Ms. Sandeen asked if the list of alternate elements will be part of the Special Town Meeting presentation for Westview. Mr. Pinsonneault said they would be included. Mr. Cronin said that demolition of the existing building, once an alternative, is now part of the base price. Mr. Kanter,Vice Chair of the Capital Expenditures Committee,reported that CEC believes the project should be built as proposed. not reduced or altered at this stage. • Presentation—STM-1 Article: Appropriation for Police Station Architectural Design and Swing Space Construction Mr. Cronin, Facilities Director, said that minor alterations are required to turn the temporary Fire swing space into a temporary Police HQ swing space. The current estimate is $615,000, including vital equipment replacement which has aged out of useful life during project delays. With addition of$254,000 for Historic District-sensitive solar paneling infrastructure,plus other costs for the main HQ building, Mr. Cronon said the full request for this warrant article will be $870,000. 9 Ms. Barry asked if it has been decided that solar paneling will go on the roof of the new HQ and if the site is big enough for solar paneling to go elsewhere. Mr. Cronon said the only thing that has been determined if that the building is designed to be as close to Net Zero as possible. The site is believed to be big enough to locate paneling somewhere other than the roof. Ms. Barry asked if solar panels would be depicted in the architectural renderings that go out to the community prior to appropriating funds for building construction, even though panel installation would occur as a separate project after the fact. Ms. Barry said that, given the high-profile location of the Polce Station,the Board should discuss how to be clear with the community about what is and what is no t included in the project. The other Select Board members concurred. Mr. Kanter,Vice Chair of the Capital Expenditures Committee, commented that some of the additional elements included in the HQ plans seem to go beyond the scope of the original project. Ms. McKenna, Precinct 6 Town Member, said this is the first she has become aware of the potential to put a solar installation in Fletcher Park. She believes this is a sensitive issue, given the aesthetics plus the controversy over the Hosmer House relocation, and she would like a more in-depth discussion to take place. Mr. Himmel, 66 Hancock Street, said that these types of discussions can only take place as projects move forward. 0 Article Discussion, Positions, and Presenters Due to the hour,this topic was tabled until the October 18, 2021 Select Board meeting.

Kate Ekrem from the Fund for Lexington Board effective immediately. DOCUMENTS: Resignation Letter-K. Ekrem. 7. Accept and Place on File Report for Community Feedback on Police Station Project and Policing in Lexington To accept and place on file the final, integrated report for the Community Feedback on Police Station Project and Policing in Lexington. DOCUMENTS: Final Report for Community Feedback on Police Station Project and Policing in Lexington. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 4-0 by roll call to approve the Consent Agenda. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Verizon Cable Television Renewal License—Extension of Negotiation Period Kenneth Pogran, Chair of the Cable Advisory Committee,reported that new contract negotiations with Verizon have been frustratingly slow and a number of issues remain unresolved. Cable Counsel Peter Epstein has been brought in to try to move discussions along. The current contract will expire on October 29, 2021. Options to reach a resolution are being considered. One is to informally agree to extend negotiations for 45 days,which can be accomplished by an email exchange between the two parties. A second option is more official and requires a letter from the Select Board with notification of a"preliminary assessment of denial"in which Lexington would formally reject Verizon's most recent proposal.Normally, such a letter would go on record with the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Cable (MDTC)but Mr. Pogran reported that the MDTC has made an alternative recommendation in which Lexington would instead apply to defer filing the preliminary assessment of denial but state the hope that negotiations will reach an agreeable outcome. If no progress is made in the next couple of weeks taking this course of action, the Select Board still has the option to authorize the Chair to send the preliminary assessment of denial letter. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 4-0 by roll call to grant authority to Cable Council to enter into an informal agreement with Verizon to extend negotiations on the Verizon 2 cable license renewal license for a period of 45 days. And to delegate authority to the Select Board Chair or designee to extend negotiations by taking any action up to an including denial of Verizon's latest proposal and communicating with the Massachusetts Department of telecommunications and cable in relation thereto. 2. Special Town Meeting(STM) 2021-1 Background on several of the STM articles was presented and Select Board members had the opportunity to pose questions. Ms. Hai encouraged members of the public and Town Meeting Members to stay abreast of information about the articles by visiting the Special Town Meeting page on the Town website. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 10: Reducing Noise from Landscape Maintenance Equipment Mr. Lucente asked if switching to electric leaf blowers from gas leaf blowers would translate to additional labor costs for landscape contractors and more spent by homeowners who do their own yard work. Daniel Koretz, Chair of the Noise Advisory Committee, said data shows that switching from one type to the other may have no impact on either labor cost or time on task but, depending on the type of leaves being cleared, it might be as much as a 30% increase. Mr. Koretz added, however, that there are also costs to remaining with gas-powered leaf blowers: the impacts of noise levels and the pollution generated, particularly for landscape workers who use them all day, every day. Mr. Lucente acknowledged these are important points but he is not sure the landscaping community has caught up with understanding the hazards and/or increased costs, and this will impact how agreeable companies are to making the switch, especially given current labor shortages. Mr. Koretz noted that since there are costs associated with either gas-powered leaf blowers or battery- powered leaf blowers, it depends which costs are more acceptable. Public comment has overwhelmingly favored regulation of gas-powered units due to noise and pollution, as well as impacts to hearing of employees. Clarifying that homeowners would also be subject to the regulation, Mr. Koretz said that commercially- used leaf blowers require replacement every two to three years whereas residentially-owned units last far longer. Mr. Koretz reported that, after debate,the Committee does not support giving residents an exemption to the regulation but he believes a longer transition time from gas to electric might be acceptable. Mr. Pato said he supports the article in general but encouraged the Committee to take another look at extending the transition time for homeowners. He is concerned about the health impacts of gas-powered units on homeowners, as well as workers,but recognizes that the duration of use is shorter for homeowners than for commercial operators and the noise impact of a single leaf blower is less than the impact of a group of them operating simultaneously. Ms. Hai questioned the effective date of the bylaw for commercial users, saying that having a uniform date is simpler. She asked for data from other communities that have phased out gas-powered blowers and about the effective dates those communities have chosen. Ms. Hai also asked about the fine/penalty structure for those who continue to use gas-powered units. Mr. Koretz cited other communities around the country but believes Lexington would be the first in Massachusetts to ban gas powered blowers. With regard to fees,he stated that Town Counsel had inserted a fine structure that is consistent with other Municipal codes. The fine would be levied on homeowners 3 rather than on the commercial landscapers because the Committee wants residents to be responsible for who they are hiring and because of comments made by commercial crews that there are fly-by-night scofflaw operators who might not act responsibly. Ms. Hai said she is uncomfortable making residents responsible and also uncomfortable with how enforcement would work. Mr. Koretz said the Committee has been in discussions with interim Police Chief McLean about enforcement,noting that if no one complains,there is nothing to enforce. Chief McLean also told the Committee the department is comfortable with this type of enforcement. Ms. Hai said she remains uncomfortable with codifying a full ban and being the first in Massachusetts to do so. She would like to know, for example, how many gas-powered leaf blowers there are in town and how many residents would be affected. Mr. Sandeen asked if the Committee has asked the DPW Director about the department's move to electric-powered units by 2024. Mr. Koretz said Director Pinsonneault's concern was the replacement cycle which would require budget support, although Mr. Pinsonneault also stated that a 2024 timeline seemed fair, for not only the DPW but for private contractors. Mr. Sandeen supported the article,noting current leaf blowers violate the noise bylaw. He is encouraged that: the Police are comfortable enforcing the bylaw; the DPW is comfortable with the timeline and is on track to hit the transition target date of 2024; there might be a higher return on investment from switching to battery-operation; and there is less toxic pollution. Interim Chief of Police McLean commented that the type of enforcement the department does now on landscape crews is not noise-based but usually about hours/days of operation. However, enforcement of the type of machines being used is a stickier matter because the expectation is that neighbors would report the violations of their neighbors. He believes a conversation with other departments about enforcement protocols should take place. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 9: Amend General Bylaw-Mount Independence Historic District Mr. Pato recused himself on this discussion because he lives within a 500-foot radius of the proposed Historic District. Because the article emerged in response to a proposed development project, creation of an historic district would potentially have a financial impact on Mr. Pato. [Pertaining to this matter, later in the meeting and once out of recusal,Mr. Pato emphasized that his position on Article 9 should not be inferred or presumed.] Anne Eccles, Chair of the Historic Districts Commission,presented materials in support of the creation of the new historic district. Charles Hornig, Chair of the Planning Board,reported that on August 20, 2021 the Planning Board voted 4-1 to recommend that Town Meeting disapprove of district as proposed and encouraged the Historic Districts Commission to reconfigure the district to more closely follow Massachusetts Historic District guidelines. Mr. Hornig reported that the planning board's major concerns are that the district, as presented, does not: adequately protect the settings of the historically significant properties; while some adjoining routes are included in the district, others have been left out; none of the lots across the street have been included; and because current boundaries are stated as appropriate without explaining the departure from MHC guidelines (which says that using streets as boundaries is not preferred); and why some adjoining lots were included,but others were not. 4 Mr. Lucente reported that the Select Board has gotten a lot of feedback about this article. He asked why this particular district is being put forward when, in the past, other resident requests to create a district, or be included in an existing district,have not been taken up. Ms. Eccles agreed there are a lot of significant homes in town that are not attached to any historic district. She noted that this particular request from homeowners to form a district encompassing a cluster of historically significant homes will not stop development but it would add another layer of oversight. One the argument cited against the district calls the proposal an impediment to affordable housing, Ms. Eccles noted there have been older homes in other districts that have been converted into multiple residential units and she reported that the HDC is not against this potential. Ms. Axtell asked Ms. Eccles to send her the most recent FAQ document pertaining to Article 9 so it can be posted to the Special Town Meeting webpage. Mr. Pato rejoined the meeting. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 12: Amend Zoning Bylaw- Structures in Yards Charles Hornig, Chair of the Planning Board, described Article 12 as an outgrowth from discussions a year ago about walls and fences inside yards. Mr. Pato said that after reading the proposed amendment,he had concerns about the way fences and retaining walls would work together in terms of combined height limitations. Mr. Hornig said that the reasoning behind the limitation is the same reasoning as is currently behind height limits of fences along lot lines. Mr. Pato said he remains unsure about that element of the bylaw and added a second concern about limiting fences to 4 feet along the street. Preservation of sightlines addressed in another section of the bylaw would seem to be more to the point. Mr. Hornig responded that this element came about from a compromise during discussions between himself, Planning Department staff, Building Department staff, and the Chair of the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), some of whom wanted no fences, or lower fences, and others who favored leaving that current bylaw element in place. Mr. Pato stated he does not support the article as presented. Mr. Lucente asked if a chain link fence would be limited. Mr. Hornig said it would apply since fences are defined independently from the material they are made of. He clarified that if a fence is further back from the lot line than 4 feet,the fence can be as tall as the distance to the lot line. Speaking to the term"near"in the proposed amendment,Mr. Lucente asked for a definition. Mr. Hornig stated that if a retaining wall is 6 feet tall and a fence is 4 feet tall, "near"would mean the height of the taller structure in this case 6 feet. Mr. Lucente asked if the amendment preserves the ability to disapprove of any wall or fence that occludes a sightline. Mr. Horning affirmed that it does preserve this ability and added that even if the fence or wall meets the other criteria,but infringes on a sightline, it would not be permitted. Mr. Hornig clarified that this prohibition does not include hedges or bushes. These require a separate bylaw amendment. Mr. Sandeen asked who would determine whether a fence complied with the safe sightline standard and if existing fences would be grandfathered or subject to the amendment. Mr. Hornig said most fences do not 5 require a building permit although retaining wall plans are subject to Building Department scrutiny. If something is built that does not need a permit,but sightlines prove to be occluded,the Building Department will inspect and work with the property owner if necessary. Existing structures, that as a result of the amendment fall outside of what is allowed, would be termed"non-conforming" and may remain if they are maintained but they may not be expanded without a Special Permit from the ZBA. Mr. Sandeen asked about the proposed changes to the definition of"yard". Mr. Hornig said that the term has become complicated over time and there were disagreements in separate clauses about what was allowed and what was not. "Yard"has therefore been re-defined for clarity to mean any portion of a lot not occupied by a building. Residents are allowed to place anything in a yard as long as it meets the height restriction. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 13: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Permitting Mr. Hornig stated that Article 13 was inspired by resolutions passed by Town Meetings 2020 and 2021. There was explicit reference in these resolutions to the Town's permitting processes which has provided an opportunity for the Planning Board to propose language that would clean up what it sees as historical problems. Ms. Hai applauded the Planning Board's proactivity and hopes this will prompt similar revisions throughout Town boards and committees. Mr. Pato applauded Section One of Article 13 that deals with diversity, equity and inclusion(DEI)but questioned sections two and three because they seem to remove provisions protecting the environment and also remove permit-related assessment of Town services impacts. He suggested that either the article be restricted to Sections One and Four,with the other sections coming back to a later Town Meeting after more work is done, or waiting to submit the whole article until comprehensive changes have been made to the article. Mr. Hornig said the proposed amendments were made for a variety of reasons: diversity, equity, and inclusion such as eliminating coded language intended to hide discriminatory purposes; streamlining the amendment process; and clarification that all transportation modes are being considered, not just vehicular traffic. Mr. Pato stated that, in his opinion, important regulatory environmental and transportation safeguards would be stripped out that are most needed for commercial properties and zones and doing away with them would not be prudent. Mr. Sandeen agreed with separating the article into one DEI article and one permitting article. He is troubled by what he sees as a relaxation of Special Permitting requirements such as those for traffic, safety, and the environment. Mr. Lucente applauded the Planning Board's quick response to direction from Town Meeting. He believes a lot of thought and effort went into the proposed amendments and sees that some of the changes are intended to clean up current language yet preserve language pertaining to sustainability, climate sensitivity, and conscientious site design practices. Ms. Hai concurred that the proposed amendment cleans up current language. She would like the Article 13 presentation to Special Town Meeting to make note of how specific issues of safety and fiscal impact would be addressed. 6 Mr. Hornig said,based on the concerns expressed, it appears as though a word-for-word analysis might be needed for the proposed amendment. Mr. Pato agreed this is why he recommends removing the article for now and taking it up after more work has been done. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 14: Amend Zoning Bylaw- Solar Energy Systems Mr. Hornig stated that the purpose of Article 14 is to try to streamline permitting for ground-mounted solar energy systems. He noted that Massachusetts General Law 40A, section 3 prohibits zoning from regulating solar energy systems. Effectively,the amendment would update zoning bylaw language to reflect this. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 15: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Open Space Residential Developments (OSRD) Mr. Hornig stated that Article 15 is intended to create new alternatives to conventional subdivisions in order to better achieve the Town's housing goals. The intent is to provide more options for: creating open space, smaller dwelling units, affordable housing, and to preserve historic structures. Mr. Lucente asked if the Special Permit Residential Development Ad hoc Committee (SPRD)has weighed in on this proposal. Ms. Hai reported that although the Committee members did not have the final motion in front of them at their meeting last week, a majority of the nine SPRD members support this article, seeing it as an enlargement of the Town's housing/zoning tool box. Two of the nine SPRD members felt there was not enough information available to make such a decision. Mr. Pato said there is a lot to like in Article 15 but he is not completely comfortable with it as it is and would like, instead, if it was within a larger toolbox such as what the SPRD committee might propose. Ms. Hai said she sees Article 15 as a path forward toward creating more affordable units by mandate, something that has heretofore been elusive. Mr. Sandeen said he would like to see more data that ensures the things the article promises will transpire. Mr. Hornig said that, in consultation with developers about this article and its earlier versions,the answer to the question"will this work?" is: sometimes yes; sometimes no. A developer could choose one of three types of development to pursue conventional, SPRD, or the Open Space Residential Development (OSRD)based on the Article 15 format. Once chosen, the developer would have to meet criteria related to the type. Mr. Lucente asked if any other communities had adopted OSRD and created housing under its provisions. Mr. Hornig said that, so far,there are no other communities but the closest Lexington has to an OSRD is the Drummer Boy development which has clusters of residences about the size the article refers to with adjacent open space. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 16: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Residential Parking Mr. Hornig said that Article 16 is in response to the realization that the requirement to have at least two parking spaces per dwelling unit increases the cost of housing construction. Mr. Lucente said that anecdotally he sees many dwelling units that have more than two cars and believes this amendment might cause even more on street parking than there currently is. Mr. Hornig said that limiting parking spaces should have a limiting effect on the number of cars a residence has since on street parking is not possible all year in Lexington. 7 Mr. Sandeen supported the article and said that he preferred using lot space for housing rather than for parking. He noted that the amount of parking created would be at the discretion of the developer but not mandated by zoning as it is now. The Select Board took a brief recess at 9:19 p.m. and reconvened at 9:24 p.m. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 17: Amend Zoning Bylaw- Sustainable Design for Hartwell Avenue (Citizen Petition) Cynthia Arens, Citizen Petitioner, stated that passing Article 17 would result in attracting desirable tenants to Hartwell Avenue; promote new sustainable development with lower emissions; and provide predictability for developers. Ms. Arens said that Article 17 continues to be revised, most recently changes were made so that the Building Commissioner would have a clearer understanding of how to certify compliance. Charles Hornig, Chair of the Planning Board stated that the Planning Board will hold its Public Hearing on Article 17 on Wednesday,November 3, 2021 at 7 p.m. Ms. Hai asked where the data in support of article has been drawn from. Ms. Arens said that some of the data came from Boston's Planning Department and from other public zoning documents or presentations. Ms. Hai noted that Ms. Arens' group has done an impressive amount of outreach and asked if there was feedback to report. Generally, Ms. Arens said that feedback has been favorable or neutral. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 8: Climate Action Plan This article will be Indefinitely Postponed(IP'd). The Town's Sustainability Director is leaving to take a job in the private sector and this article will be postponed at least until a new director is hired. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 2: Appropriate for Prior Years' Unpaid Bills This article will also be IP'd. • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 4: Amend FY2022 Operating and Enterprise Budgets • Presentation- STM 2021-1 Article 3: Establish,Dissolve and Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Fund Ms. Kosnoff said that New Growth had been budgeted at$2.75M but actual New Growth, although still uncertified,will be about$4.979M. Ms. Kosnoff also itemized other changes to the FY2022 budget. Once the budget adjustments have been made,remaining new tax levy growth will be $770,000 of which $200,000 would go to the Transportation Mitigation Fund. The remaining amount of$570,000 would go to the Capital Stabilization Fund,reflecting the Town's current financial goals of assigning surplus funds to minimize borrowing for upcoming Capital projects. • Article Discussion, Positions, and Presenters Ms. Hai noted that she has distributed a draft document with presenter assignments for Special Town Meeting and that Articles 2 and 8 can be eliminated as they have been IP'd. The Select Board then took positions as they saw fit on the remaining articles. The resulting article position chart is appended to the end of these minutes. 8 DOCUMENTS: Art 10 Landscape Maintenance; Art 10 Motion; Art 9 Mt.

DOCUMENTS: Massachusetts Avenue Road Closure Request for Hancock United Church of Christ's Manger Sunday Service on 12-05-21 Ms. Barry returned to the meeting. 2. Review and Approve Location of Public Safety Monopole at New Police Station Director of Public Facilities, Mike Cronin, stated that the preferred location for the monopole is behind the new Police Station. There is room in the new garage that will hold all necessary equipment and allow for easy access. He noted that, although working in coordination with the new Police Station,the monopole is a separate project. In response to a question from Mr. Lucente regarding the proposed location near the bike path,Mr. Cronin explained that, if the monopole is moved to the back of the building, there would be parking spaces included in the area near the bike path on the plan. In response to a question from Mr. Lucente regarding this project being visible from the street,Mr. Cronin stated that the Historic District Commission will be consulted on this project as well. Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street,Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member, asked about the overall diameter of installation of the monopole. Mr. Cronin stated this to be 5' all the way up the monopole. Ms. McKenna also noted that she supports the previously proposed location for the monopole, instead of the one behind the building. Upon a motion duly made and seconded,by roll call,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve the location of the monopole behind the new police station. DOCUMENTS: Antenna Rendering; Different Antenna Locations; Site Plan 1; Site Plan 2 2. Continued Discussion Regarding American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)Funding Priorities and Process Mr. Malloy stated that ARPA funding goes through the end of 2024. There were a number of requests presented to the Select Board for these funds, which were considered to choose ones focused on the local economy. The plan being presented highlights certain projects for 2022, 2023, and 2024, with the projection to spend approximately$3M the first year, $2.5M the second year, and$900,000 the third year. This is a total of approximately$6.355M of the full $9M allocated to the Town. A number of requests were received from local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, and some local private schools/preschools. Thus,this plan sets aside $50,000/year each for Committee/Community Requests and Other Community Requests. There is also $500,000/year set aside for a participatory budgeting process. $1 M was also set aside for broadband improvements and$1 M toward the water tower replacement project. Mr. Lucente stated that he believes this list could still be narrowed a bit. He is interested in the participatory budgeting process. His concern is that some of the items on the list look to be ones that the 3 Town would have completed anyway, and he was hoping the ARPA funds would be for extraordinary items to help those most in need. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding funding for vaccine storage coolers, Carolyn Kosnoff Assistant Town Manager—Finance, explained that the Town is still applying to FEMA for certain expenses, including items such as this. Ms. Barry suggested that outdoor tents could be added to the list so that the Town and Community Center can continue to hold outdoor programming. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding the Recreation Department's request for broadband, Mr. Malloy stated that that request in not included in this plan, as he would need to see more information about the benefits of the request. Mr. Pato agreed with the participatory budgeting process item. He also echoed Mr. Lucente's comments regarding focusing these funds on small businesses or residents in Town that were most effected by the pandemic. He would thus be inclined to increase the amount of funds set aside in the community lines. He also agreed with Ms. Barry's suggestion for outdoor tents. Ms. Hai noted that some of these funds could be used to explore the housing proposal previously discussed. Mr. Malloy stated that he believes there are still too many unknowns yet to include this. He did note that funds are included in the plan for rental assistance. Ms. Hai stated that she would like to move forward with also exploring the means to create new housing opportunities in Town. Mr. Sandeen agreed that this could be an opportunity to look into affordable housing in Town. He also agreed with the item on participatory budgeting and more funding for the community lines. He suggested some of the funds could be used to place air quality sensors in Town classrooms and offices, in a way to better address the health of the Town. In response to a question from Mr. Sandeen regarding a Bicycle&Pedestrian Plan, Mr. Malloy noted that the Town is currently part of a three-town bike/ped planning process with Arlington and Bedford. There has been discussion with business owners about attracting people to the backs of these buildings from the bikeway. Making the backs of these buildings more interesting could create economic potential. More information is needed on the cost of this and similar projects. Mr. Sandeen noted that there has been interest in putting a comprehensive Bike/Ped Plan in place and this could be a good venue to do so. He also noted that he would like for these funds to be used for projects that the Town was not already planning on pursuing. Ms. Barry noted her support for the participatory budgeting item. She also suggested looking into funding for the food pantry. Mr. Lucente suggested funding for additional bike racks to inspire additional growth of the bikeway. Dawn McKenna, Chair of the Tourism Committee,noted that she supports an upgraded Town website. She noted that the Liberty Ride trolley is not included on this list but is 15 years old and will eventually need to be replaced. She asked that Town staff come to speak with the Tourism Committee on other possible items to include. 4 Bridger McGaw, 89 Meriam Street and Precinct 6 Town Meeting member, CPC funding could be used to support some of the proposed bike racks and bike/ped infrastructure mentioned. Thus, these funds could be used to support small businesses effected by the pandemic. ACTIONS: This plan will come back before the Board at a future date for more discussion. DOCUMENTS: ARPA Spending Plan 3. Review and Approve Small Cell Wireless Installation Policy Ms. Hai noted that this was originally reviewed by the Board in 2020. At that time, it was noted that the policy needs to be in place before applications are received in order to regulate them. The first application is now on file, so this is a time-sensitive issue. Mr. Lucente explained that other policies from around the country were reviewed in drafting this policy, but none had imagery of examples to put into the policy for design standards. The Board discussed possibly reviewing this as a Consent Agenda item at the November 15, 2021, meeting. Steve Kaufman, Precinct 5 Town Meeting member and Communications Advisory Committee member, asked that the Board move this forward, as it is important for the Town's communication infrastructure. ACTIONS: The Board will hear this again on November 15, 2021, and any substantive changes will be redlined in a memo to the Board prior to the meeting. DOCUMENTS: Small Cell Wireless Installation Policy-Final Draft 4. Approve Capital Stabilization Framework Mr. Malloy noted that this policy has been in the works for a year. It has gone through a rigorous process with financial working groups and the Board was previously supportive of it. This policy would take the net new property tax revenues generated from either a Preliminary Site Development and Use Plan (PSDUP) or a project that was part of the recently approved rezoning on Hartwell Avenue and put the funds aside into the Capital Stabilization Fund. These funds would grow on an annual basis so that it becomes part of the Town's funding mechanism to help cover the future debt from the high school. In response to a question from Mr. Sandeen regarding the proposed projects associated for these tax revenues,Mr. Malloy stated that these are the projects at 1050 Waltham Street, 186 Bedford Street, 40 Bedford Street, 475 Bedford Street, and the 95/99 Hayden Street project. The policy requires that each year the Town Manager make a presentation to the Select Board and others regarding how much has built up and should be set aside. There was discussion on some wordsmithing items within the policy. David Kanter,Vice President of the Capital Expenses Committee,noted that the group has no objection to moving forward with this item. Mr. McGaw expressed excitement in seeing this policy completed. He questioned if,using this model, it would be more advantageous to have more projects greenlit and in the ground. Mr. Malloy stated that this would be helpful in building the Capital Stabilization Fund more quickly before the high school project is 5 complete. There is a design team review process that has occurred for some of these projects to be ready before going in front of the Planning Board. Upon a motion duly made and seconded,by roll call,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve the Capital Stabilization Framework as substantively presented. ACTIONS: Non-substantive edits will be applied and a final copy of the policy sent to the Board. DOCUMENTS: Capital Stabilization Framework 5. Approve FY2022 Water and Sewer Rates Ms. Kosnoff explained that this proposal is the same as what was reviewed by the Board on October 12, 2021. There is an 8% increase in the water tiered rates and a 5.2%increase in the sewer rates. Combined, this is an overall 6.1% increase, or$54.60 for an average Lexington rate payer of 70 HCF per year. The water budget is going up 7.7% and the wastewater budget is up 4.1%; these are the primary drivers behind the rate increase. Summer usage has been a huge driver for both of these enterprise funds for the Town. As usage goes down,the cost per unit goes up. There is a healthy fund balance in both funds,but it is yet unknown what spring usage will look like and how people's behaviors will change due to the pandemic. If usage is slightly under, the revenue targets may not be hit,but it is believed there is enough of a cushion to absorb that. Lexington's usage compared to other MWRA communities also needs to be taken into consideration. If these rates are approved by the Board tonight,they will be effective for the bills sent out in November. In response to a question from Ms. Hai regarding Lexington being a pass through for both Burlington and Bedford, Ms. Kosnoff explained that the impact from Bedford in included in the overall system usage,but Burlington's usage is monitored and billed to them. Mr. Sandeen suggested that the solution for Burlington be examined for Bedford as well. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding the cost per unit going up as usage goes down, Ms. Kosnoff stated that the proposed budget covers the MWRA assessment. Thus,that cost is being spread across fewer units or ratepayers, leading to an increase in cost. Ms. Barry noted that she is concerned with the 6% figure being so high. In response to a question from Mr. Sandeen regarding using some of the retained earning balance to lower the cost to users,Mr. Malloy explained that the fund balance can be used for non-recurring expenses. Ms. Kosnoff added that the balance is not usually used to offset operations because it is a one-time revenue. She explained that they are not trying to build a balance but set rates that will cover the budget. She noted that increased irrigation usage was almost the entire increase to the water budget. Upon a motion duly made and seconded,by roll call,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve the proposed FY2022 water and wastewater rates shown on page 2 of the attached rate presentation. DOCUMENTS: Water and Sewer Rate Presentation The Board took a five-minutes recess from 8:45pm—8:50pm. 6. Special Town Meeting 2021-1 Article Positions,Article Discussion and Consent Agenda The Board discussed the Consent Agenda. Board was in support of the proposed consent agenda. 6 The Board discussed the various Article positions. Ms. Barry registered her position on a few articles. On Article 2-Appropriate for Prior Years' Unpaid Bills, IP—yes; Article 3 -Establish, Dissolve and Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Funds—yes; Article 4 -Amend FY2022 Operating Enterprise and CPA Budgets—yes. There was discussion on Article 5 -Appropriate for Police Station Architectural Design and Swing Space Construction. This article contains two amounts, one for the work that needs to be done at 173 Bedford Street and the other related to the Police Station at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue. Christina Marshall, Anderson Kreiger, Town Counsel,noted that the Article language does seem to read that the full $870,000 is for the 173 Bedford Street project. Ms. Barry noted that she feels it is difficult to approve funds for 173 Bedford Street swing space prior to knowing if there will be approval at Town Meeting to proceed with the new Police Station. She noted that she would like to wait to voice a position on this Article at this time. In response to a question from Mr. Sandeen regarding if the funds not specified for 173 Bedford Street are planned to be spent prior to approval of the Police Station,Mr. Malloy explained that these funds could be spent on the design of the building so that there are good cost estimates moving forward to the spring Town Meeting. If the design and construction are not properly timed,the project will be off-season. The Board and Mr. Malloy discussed alternate wording for the Article to make it clearer. Mr. Cronin noted that the approximately$254,000 is for the design component at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue and the approximately$615,000 is for the construction work and remainder of the design work to take place it 173 Bedford Street. In response to a question from Ms. Barry, Mr. Cronin stated that the work on 173 Bedford Street will be put out to bid after January 1, 2022, if approved at Special Town Meeting. If this is not done in the correct timeframe,there will be a delay on all projects. Ms. Barry noted that she does not see an immediate need for the Police Station move to occur but does overall support the new Station. Mr. Cronin noted that one deterrent on waiting is accumulating eight months of escalation costs. Ms. Kosnoff agreed with changing the wording of this Article to make it clear which address the architectural design work is for,but requested that the bottom line,total budget number be left in,to allow for flexibility with the funds between the two projects. Mr. Sandeen suggested splitting the Article into two separate votes. There was not support for this among other Board members. Mr. Kanter noted that the Town will need a swing space eventually, so building it now at a better rate is an economically viable and proper solution. Upon a motion duly made and seconded,by roll call,the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve the proposed language for Article 5, "That the Town vote an appropriation for design, engineering, and architectural services, including production of construction documents at 1575 Massachusetts Ave., and for the construction phase of a temporary police station to be located at 173 Bedford Street in Lexington, and that to meet this appropriation$870,000 be raised in the tax levy." Ms. Barry registered her position on a few more articles. On Article 6 Appropriate for Community Preservation Projects,—yes; Article 7 Appropriate for Westview Cemetery Building Construction—yes; Article 8 Climate Action Plan IP—yes. 7 The Board discussed their positions on Article 9 -Amend General Bylaw-Mount Independence Historic District: Ms. Hai—wait; Mr. Lucente—wait; Ms. Barry—wait; Mr. Sandeen—wait. The Board discussed their positions on Article 10-Reducing Noise From Landscape Maintenance Equipment. Mr. Pato noted that he believes there is some misconception around this Article. The decibel ratings in this Article would be equivalent to approximately 110 decibels at the point of origin, which is a loud standard. He has asked the Committee for a list of equipment used in Lexington and the decibel ratings for each at a point of origin. He noted that the recommended standard for manufacturers set in 1974 is 94 decibels at the point of origin, so he does not believe this Article will create a situation where landscapers cannot operate. If this Article does do that, he is not in favor of it. Ms. Axtell noted that the Noise Advisory Committee will be meeting on Thursday to discuss this Article and possible update the language for clarity. Ms. Barry noted that she believes the language of the Article would disallow not only landscapers,but also homeowners and DPW workers from using certain kinds of equipment. Ms. Hai noted that she has had discussion with the Chair of the Noise Advisory Committee regarding changing the language to reflect seasonal limits only. Mr. Lucente stated that he would support seasonal limits but has serious concerns about this Article otherwise. Mr. Sandeen noted that he does believe setting noise limits is within the Board's purview. He noted that current gas-powered leaf blowers violate not only the Town's noise bylaw,but the State's as well. Mr. Lucente noted that his concern is that this Article will essentially ban gas leaf blowers in Town. Ms. Hai stated that, as written,the Article is unclear, and she is uncomfortable with it. The Board reviewed their positions on this Article 10-Reducing Noise From Landscape Maintenance Equipment. Ms. Hai—no; Mr. Lucente—no; Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—wait; Mr. Pato—wait. Ms. Barry noted that she is a yes on Article 11 -Easements for the Town of Burlington. Ms. Barry noted that she is a no on Article 12-Amend Zoning Bylaw—Structure in Yards. Mr. Sandeen, Mr. Lucente, and Ms. Hai are still waits. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding the wording of Article 13 -Amend Zoning Bylaw- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Permitting, Charles Hornig, Planning Board Chair, stated that this language was found to be acceptable to all parties involved, including Ms. Duffield and the Human Rights Committee. Mr. Pato noted that, if these amendments do not prevail, he has asked the Moderator to split this into separate votes for section 1 and 4, and, 2 and 3 of the motion. His position is registered as a no for 2 and 3, and a yes for 1 and 4. Mr. Sandeen agreed that he would support 1 and 4,but not 2 and 3. Ms. Barry stated the same. Mr. Lucente and Ms. Hai are a yes on 1,2, 3 and 4. 8 Mr. Hornig stated that the Planning Board will discuss these items on Wednesday. Mr. Pato noted that he supports Mr. Daggett's substitute motion but does not support Mr. Canale's proposal. The rest of the Board would like to wait on both of these items. Ms. Barry noted that she is a yes on Article 14-Amend Zoning Bylaw- Solar Energy Systems. Ms. Barry noted that she is a no on Article 15 -Open Space Residential Development„ as it is currently written. Ms. Barry and Mr. Lucente noted that they are both a yes on Article 16 Amend Zoning Bylaw— Residential Parking. Ms. Barry noted that she is a yes on Article 17-Amend Zoning Bylaw—Sustainable Design for Hartwell Avenue (Citizen Petition). Ms. Hai noted that she is also a yes. Mr. Lucente noted that he is still a wait on Article 17. Ms. McKenna, 9 Hancock Street and Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member urged the Board to urge the proponents to delay Article 10 until the spring. She noted that,per Article 5, she is in favor of the new Police Station,but is not in favor of renovating a building that may sit empty until it can be agreed upon. Mr. Kanter,48 Fifer Lane, stated he feels that it is prudent to get a swing space in hand now. ACTIONS: Review the speeches sent out by Ms. Axtell with a hopeful 24-hour turnaround.

Quock Walker Day. DOCUMENTS: DRAFT Letter of Support-Emancipation Day a.k.a. Quock Walker Day 2. Special Town Meeting 2021-1 Article Positions/Discussion The Board discussed positions on the proposed Articles. Ms. Barry noted that she would be a no on Article 5: Appropriate for Police Station Architectural Design and Swing Space Construction. She stated while she supports the construction of a new Police Station, she does not believe that the renovation and construction at 173 Bedford Street should begin prior to the citizens weighing in at Annual Town meeting. She noted she would be more comfortable making a decision on this Article if the two appropriations could be split into separate motions. Christina Marshall, Town Counsel, noted that, as the language of Article 5 currently stands for a total appropriation amount, and the Moderator would need to weigh in if the motion could be split. Ms. Hai noted that all Board members are"waits" for Article 9: Amend General Bylaw-Mount Independence Historic District. Ms. Hai stated that the Noise Committee submitted a revised motion for Article 10: Reducing Noise from Landscape Maintenance Equipment. She also noted that Mr. Kaufman's amendment looks to change the phase-in date from 2024-2025 to 2027. Mr. Pato stated that he is a yes on the revised Article 10. Ms. Hai also noted that she is a yes on the revised Article 10. Ms. Barry stated that she is a no on the revised Article 10. Mr. Lucente is also a no and believes this should be an IP Article. The Board registered their positions on Article 10's proposed amendment: Mr. Lucente—wait; Mr. Pato— wait; M s. Hai—yes; M s. Barry—wait; Mr. S ande en—wait. Ms. Barry addressed a letter from a concerned citizen regarding taking action, if Article 10 were to pass. Mr. Malloy explained that,within five days of action on the Article, 3% of registered voters can sign a petition to place a referendum on the Article, seeking to overturn Town action. The Board then has ten days to set a Special Election. At that election,20%of voters would need to vote in favor of reversing the action of the Town and prevail. The Board addressed Article 12: Amend Zoning Bylaw—Structure in Yards. In response to a question from Mr. Lucente, Mr. Pato explained that his amendment to Article 12 looks to keep the height of fences as they are today, at 6'. The current bylaw combines the height of retaining walls and fences, if location within 6' of the lot line.His amendment looks to treat these two items independently. Thus, a 6' retaining wall could be topped with a 6' fence. There are many topographical elements around Town. He believes his amendment would allow the bylaw to move forward so that certain corner cases can possibly be dealt with separately. He believes the two items should be able to be allowed by right together for safety reasons. Ms. Hai noted that she has concerns regarding visual impact of these structures together. Ms. Barry echoed this concern. Mr. Pato stated that he believes the bylaw can be worded to address visual impact, while still allowing for safety concerns of citizens in the meantime. Ms. Hai noted that, if the amendment fails,the bylaw still allows for safety fences,but that they must not be located at the property line. Mr. Pato noted that, for some smaller lots,the 6' requirement from the lot line could eat up a lot of the property. Mr. Lucente stated that one remedy for an issue with visual impact is to bring the item to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Sandeen stated that he believes the amendment improves Article 12. He asked about how safe stopping sight distances are calculated and who enforces this part of the bylaw. Mr. Malloy stated that he believes it is up to the Zoning Administrator to make this determination. Mr. Pato noted that the Planning Board Chair cited AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) and its policy defining stopping sight distances and how to evaluate them. Mr. Sandeen asked how a builder or homeowner is to make this type of evaluation. The Board registered their positions on Article 12: Mr. Lucente—no; Mr. Pato—no; Ms. Hai—no; Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—no. The Board registered their positions on Article 12's proposed amendment: Mr. Lucente—yes; Mr. Pato— yes; Ms. Hai—no; Ms. Barry—yes; Mr. Sandeen—yes. The Board discussed Article 13: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Permitting. Mr. Pato stated that he believes the Daggett amendment clears any language issues in Sections 2 &3 of this Article. If this amendment passes,he will not ask to split the vote on this Article. The Board registered their positions on Article 13's proposed amendment from Mr. Daggett: Mr. Lucente —wait; Mr. Pato—yes; Ms. Hai—no; Ms. Barry—yes; Mr. Sandeen—yes. The Board registered their positions on Article 13's proposed amendment from Mr. Canale: Mr. Lucente —no; Mr. Pato—no; Ms. Hai—no; Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—no. The Board registered their positions on Article 13's items 1 &4: Mr. Lucente—yes; Mr. Pato—yes; Ms. Hai—yes; Ms. Barry—yes; Mr. Sandeen—yes. The Board registered their positions on Article 13's items 2 & 3: Mr. Lucente—yes; Mr. Pato—no; Ms. Hai—yes; Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—no. The Board are all in favor of Article 14: Amend Zoning Bylaw- Solar Energy Systems. The Board reviewed Article 15: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Open Space Residential Developments. Ms. Hai stated that the Special Permit Residential Development Ad Hoc Bylaw Committee unanimously voted to support Article 15, as did the Housing Partnership Board. Hs. Hai stated that she is in favor of Article 15 because it safeguards that the amount of GFA cannot exceed what is allowable by right and this is under site plan review,that 50% of developable land has to be retained as open space,that the average square footage of the building limitation is in addition to what would be done under a conventional, and that there is an inclusionary element 25%below market rate. Mr. Lucente stated that he is in favor of Article 15, as it adds a tool to the Town's toolbox. Mr. Pato noted that he believes Mr. Creech's first amendment would change the vote of the overall Article 15 from 2/3 to a majority vote. Ms. Axtell noted that each of Mr. Creech's three amendments to Article 15 will be voted on separately. The Board registered their positions on Article 15: Mr. Lucente—yes; Mr. Pato—no; Ms. Hai—yes;Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—no. The Board registered their positions on Article 15's proposed amendment from Mr. Canale: Mr. Lucente —no; Mr. Pato—no; Ms. Hai—no;Ms. Barry—no; Mr. Sandeen—no. The Board registered their positions on Article 15's proposed amendment from Mr. Creech: Mr. Lucente —yes; Mr. Pato—yes; Ms. Hai—yes; Ms. Barry—wait; Mr. Sandeen—yes on 1&3,wait on 2. The Board discussed Article 16: Amend Zoning Bylaw—Residential Parking. Ms. Hai noted that the Housing Partnership Board voted in favor of Article 16 by a vote of 8-0-1. The Board is unanimously in favor of Article 16. The Board discussed Article 17: Amend Zoning Bylaw—Sustainable Design for Hartwell Avenue (Citizen Petition). It was noted that the Economic Development Advisory Committee was never able to record a vote on this Article but did offer supportive comments on it. Boston Properties is also in favor of this Article. Mr. Lucente noted that he is still a wait on this Article; the rest of the Board is in favor. Ms. Hai noted that she is now a wait on Article 12. Regarding Article 12, Mr. Malloy explained that other communities have setbacks for fences to be located from intersections in their bylaws. He is unclear if the Zoning Enforcement Officer could enforce this item, or if the Town Engineer would first need to do the calculations on it. Mr. Sandeen stated that his concern is that the average homeowner/builder will not have the expertise to decide this, and that there is not enough information to guide them. Ms. Hai questioned if the safety issues at play in this Article might be better addressed through a special permit request. Dawn McKenna,Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member, stated that she believes Article 5 should be split into two votes, and has developed an amendment to request this at Town Meeting. She fully supports the Police Station but does not believe money should be spent to start construction at 173 Bedford Street without first having a vote by the citizens at Annual Town Meeting. Ms. Hai noted that the next Board meeting will be tomorrow evening at 6pm. DOCUMENTS: 2021-1 STM Positions Chart, Proposed Schedule for STM 2021-1 From Town Moderator-as of November 3, 2021, Art 12 Amendment Joe Pato, Art 10 Landscape Maintenance REVISED 11.4.2021, Art 10 Amendment Kaufman, Art 15 Amendment Canale,Art 13 Amendment Canale ADJOURN Upon a motion duly made and seconded,the Select Board voted 5-0 to adjourn the meeting at 7:08 p.m. A true record; Attest: Kristan Patenaude Recording Secretary SELECT BOARD MEETING November 9, 2021 A remote participation meeting of the Lexington Select Board was called to order at 6:03 p.m. on Tuesday,November 9, 2021 via Zoom remote meeting services. Ms. Hai, Chair; Mr. Lucente; Vice Chair, Mr. Pato, Ms. Barry, and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy, Town Manager; Ms. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager; 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. Ms. Hai provided directions to members of the public watching or 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. Ms. Hai noted that there is a Save the Date for November 16, 2021, as an additional meeting, if need be. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Special Town Meeting 2021-1 Article Positions/Discussion The Board discussed positions on the proposed Articles. Regarding separating Article 5: Appropriate for Police Station Architectural Design and Swing Space Construction into two votes,Ms. Hai noted that the previously approved Fire Station Headquarters was brought to Special Town Meeting in October 2017 as two separate Articles, one to finish the design on the headquarters building and a separate one for the construction of the swing space. Both articles were subject to approval of a debt exclusion. The debt exclusion vote was held in December, which then allowed the release of those two approvals by Town Meeting and the Board subsequently went to Annual Town Meeting in the spring of 2018 for the construction funding for the headquarters building itself. Ms. Hai noted that, through community outreach, it appears the community supports moving forward with this project but has concerns with this Article combined, as written. While combining the Article may be more efficient timewise and financially, it is not necessarily per the Town's past practice. Due to the fact that this is the Board's Article,the Moderator will allow it to be split. The vote would be split into one motion for approximately$255,000 for the design, engineering, and architectural services on the main Police Headquarters building(1575 Massachusetts Avenue), and approximately$615,000 for the renovations to 173 Bedford Street. Mr. Lucente and Mr. Pato both agree with separating the Article and both support each piece of the Article as separated. Mr. Pato asked if the wording of the Article could reflect flexibility of the funds between the two projects. Mr. Malloy stated that he would look into this. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding the start of construction at 173 Bedford Street, Director of Public Facilities, Mike Cronin, stated that the bid for this item would go out in January,with construction to begin as soon as possible, likely within 3-6 months. Ms. Barry noted concern with starting this work before the vote at Annual Town Meeting. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding if the presentation of this Article contains information on the construction at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue,Mr. Cronin stated that he does not believe there was a plan to address the construction component and funding associated with that address during Town Meeting. Ms. Barry stated that she believes these numbers should be communicated during Town Meeting, especially if debt exclusion is approximately 6 months away. Mr. Cronin stated that the project needs to get into design development in order to have numbers. Ms. Barry noted that she is okay splitting this Article,but that will not alleviate all her concerns. She noted that she would be a yes on the item for 1575 Massachusetts Avenue,but a no on the 173 Bedford Street item. Mr. Sandeen noted that he is in favor of splitting the Article and is in favor of both parts of it,but believes it is important to be explicit with the costs involved for each location. Mr. Malloy stated that Town Counsel has noted that the funds must be appropriated for each specific project, and so there cannot be flexibility between the funds for the two projects. Mr. Cronin noted that enough funding is available to go through the design development phase and the beginning of the construction design, even if this Article fails. While construction documents will not be available for Annual Town Meeting, design documents were sufficient when presenting the Fire Station Headquarters project and will be available for Annual Town Meeting. In response to a question from Mr. Lucente regarding the Town's Emergency 911 System, Mr. Cronin explained that the State will move the Town's 911 System but requires six months notice. The Town is currently on the docket for next July. Mr. Lucente noted that this may be an advantage to having a temporary station ready for the placement of the 911 System in July and not losing an additional six months of time. Ms. Hai noted that she is in support of both pieces of the Article, if it is split. If this Article is split, it will be discussed at next Monday evening's session of Town Meeting. In response to a question from Ms. Barry regarding flexibility of funds between the two projects, Mr. Malloy stated that there would probably be slight flexibility, depending on if the Moderator determines it to be within the scope of the Articles. The Board agreed to leave the wording of the appropriation at$870,000. Upon a motion duly made and seconded,by roll call,the Select Board voted 5-0 to split Article 15 into two motions: one for the approximately$255,000 for the design, engineering , and architectural services for 1575 Massachusetts Avenue and the other for approximately$615,000 for the renovation of 173 Bedford Street. The Board registered its positions for both articles: For 1575 Massachusetts Avenue: Lucente—yes; Pato—yes; Barry—yes; Hai—yes; Sandeen—yes. For 173 Bedford Street: Lucente—yes; Pato—yes; Barry—no; Hai—yes; Sandeen—yes. The Board reviewed its positions on Article 13: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Permitting. The Board members are all not in favor of Mr. Canale's amendment. Regarding Mr. Daggett's amendment: Barry—yes; Pato—yes; Lucente—wait; Sandeen—yes; Hai—no. The Board members are all in favor of the main Article if the amendment passes. The Board members are all in favor of Article 14: Amend Zoning Bylaw- Solar Energy Systems. The Board registered its positions for Article 15: Amend Zoning Bylaw-Open Space Residential Developments. Regarding Mr. Creech's three amendments: Pato: yes on 1 &3,wait on 2; Sandeen: yes on 1 & 3,wait on 2; Hai: no on 1 & 3,yes on 2. It was noted that the two alternate dates for an additional meeting are November 16'or November 22nd Ms. Barry exited the meeting at 6:47pm. Dawn McKenna, Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member,noted concerns with the split vote on Article 5. She explained that there is concern about spending the money on the building before it is approved by a vote at Annual Town Meeting because it's a large chunk of money for the Town to spend if it were to fail as a debt exclusion. She requested that the Board make the 173 Bedford Street motion subject to a vote on the construction funds at Annual Town Meeting, or subject to debt exclusion. If the Board decides not to do this, she will move forward with her own amended motion at Town Meeting. David Kanter,Vice Chair Capital Expenses Committee and Precinct 7 Town meeting Member, stated that,unless a new Police Station is not needed, it is the Town's fiduciary responsibility to create a swing space, as delaying will likely lead to increased costs to the project. He believes the Town should work to get the best price on this project right now. The next scheduled Board meeting is November 15, 2021, at 6pm.

Public Hearing: Tax Classification Presentation The Public Hearing was opened at 6:13pm. Carolyn Kosnoff Assistant Town Manager—Finance,Board of Assessors(Greg Johnson, Ed Grant, and Casimir Groblewski), and Assessor Rob Lynch presented to the Board. Ms. Kosnoff stated that the classification amendment requires the Lexington Select Board to consider four(4) selections with respect to the setting the FY2022 Lexington tax rate. These are: 1. Selection of a residential factor: Lexington can have a single tax rate, which is applied to residential properties, and all of the other property classes -commercial, industrial, and personal. Or it can have a split tax rate, in which it can shift up to 1.75%of the tax burden on to commercial properties. Lexington has been using the latter of these two rates for a number of years. 2. Selection of a discount for Open Space—There is no property in Lexington that this would apply to. 3. Residential exemption—This would exempt residential parcels up to 35% of their value. The 35% exempt for each property would then be shifted to the rest of the residential, commercial, and industrial,personal properties. There is a breakeven point for this item. An ad hoc study completed in 2018 recommended that the Town not adopt this item. 4. Small commercial property exemption—This would exempt small commercial properties for up to 10% of their value. The criteria for meeting a small commercial exemption are that the property must be valued under$1 M, and there must be less than 10 employees at all locations. Ms. Kosnoff explained that the tax rate is essentially a calculation of the total tax levy,which is essentially all of the Town's budget, divided by the value of all the properties in Lexington, subject to some of those other options. • Total fiscal levy in FY21 was $194.4M. • Excluded debt in FY21 was $12.6M. • For FY22,the maximum allowable levy is $218M, a 5.36%increase over last year. • Residential valuations increased 6.9%. • Total valuation of the Town's property is up to $14 billion, an 8.6%increase over last year. • Standard, flat tax rate across all property classes would be $15.511$1,000. • With the 1.75% shift,the CIP class would be at$27.14, and the Residential class at$13.75. • Tax rate for FY21 was $14.39 and the average tax bill for a single-family dwelling was $16,241. • If keeping at the 1.75% shift, the FY22 average tax bill for a single-family dwelling would be $16,391. • If a 1.70% shift is used instead, the average tax bill would be $16,531. Mr. Johnson provide an overview of d.o.r. values by class: fy2021 to fy2022, - fy 2022 tax rate shift options &property comparisons Mr. Pato noted that he would like the Board to look at the tax information in its full context. He stated that the commercial sector is now consistently bearing a higher rate,just as the residential sector did years ago. Mr. Lucente noted that commercial properties seem to be making up 11.7% of the total value,but almost 25% of the tax levy. He asked, if the Town picks the 1.75% shift for FY22, what the tax levy percentage breakdown would be between commercial and residential. He stated that this may be the time to look at reducing the shift a bit, due to the current economy. Ms. Barry asked about the reduction of 12 properties within the retail section classification. Mr. Lynch stated that those properties were mixed-use properties, and it did not make sense to remain in that category. Mr. Sandeen asked for actuals for the FY21 residential and commercial tax levies. Dawn McKenna,Precinct 6 Town Meeting member, stated that there are many small businesses in Town that are hurting, and she would like to see something done to ease their tax burden this year. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:08pm. ACTION: The Board will be asked to vote on this on November 30,2021. There Board will discuss at a future meeting if it would like to hear additional presentations on this item.Members of the public can send comments or questions to the Board.

Ave. Lexington, Mass. 02420 Re: Annual Tea Burning Reenactment To the Honorable Board: The Lexington Minute Men Company seeks your permission to hold our reenactment of Lexington's historic 1773 Tea Burning this year on Sunday, Dec. 12. We sponsor this event annually in collaboration with the Lexington Historical Society and the Lexington Visitors' Center. An open invitation is extended to the entire Lexington community to participate in commemorating this momentous protest, originally staged just three days prior to the Boston Tea Party. Colonial clothing is encouraged, and some members of the public consistently attend attired in period dress. Lexingtonians of all ages gather and join us in destroying the tea and reading Town Meeting's resolutions of Dec. 13, 1773. Probably written by the Rev. Jonas Clarke, the resolutions state that "If any Head of Family in this Town, or any Person shall purchase or Consume any Tea, such person shall be looked upon as an Enemy to this Town, &to this Country." Notable -- for we already viewed ourselves as citizens of a new nation. Following is our proposed itinerary for the day. An encampment will demonstrate Colonial culture and defense preparation for the public. Colonial fife and drum music will provide the atmosphere. Musket drills will demonstrate the sort of preparedness exercised by the Town of Lexington in the two years leading up to 1775. We request permission for a musket volley demonstration on the Common between 13:00- 15:00 to punctuate a typical militia drill of that era, while also remembering and honoring our fallen. "Stand yourground—(Don't fire unless firedupon; but if they mean to Have a war Let it begin here." -Apri(19, 1775— Captain Parker Itinerary - Sunday,Dec. 12 1100 Lexington Minute Men set up camp including mess tent and small fire pit in Meriam Park (Visitors Center grounds). 1200 LMM Assemble in camp for light lunch. 1230 LMM march to Common and form up near the Minute Men Boulder to conduct the manual of arms (musket drill). 1300 LMM parade around the Common in military formation with Company fife and drum. Form up near Monument for the reading of names and musket solute volleys. Safety officer inspects the line. Company fires multiple volleys between 13:00-14:00. Safety officer re-inspects the line. 1400 LMM parades back to Meriam Park and commences Tea Burning reenactment in conjunction with Historical Society. Tea is destroyed in the fire, Town Meeting resolutions of 1773 are read aloud. LMM members available to discuss event, unit, and town's Colonial history with attendees. 1500 LMM break down camp; clean up and dispose of any refuse. We always look forward to this recreation of a pivotal moment in town history, and the opportunity it provides for us to engage with our fellow Lexingtonians in an immersive learning experience.

The MLK Day Commemoration group with the support of the Town Celebrations Committee respectfully requests to hold the annual MLK Day Unity Walk, from the Battle Green to Cary Hall, to be held on Monday,January 17, 2022 at 1pm. A group of participants would meet at the battle green shortly before 1pm, then walk down Massachusetts Avenue to Cary Hall and then disperse from there for volunteer activities Volunteer participants and supporters of our MLK Day of Service, which annually supports more than 4,000 underprivileged families with goods, services and activities, feel that the Unity Walk is the most symbolic part of their day in which we honor Dr. King's legacy in the same manner he led the civil rights movement-with a peaceful show of respect for the commemoration. We typically attain 50-100 participants of all ages in the walk on one side of Massachusetts Avenue and crossing over to Cary Hall, with the support of Town Police escort. Our committee would appreciate consideration of our past success and impact this walk has had on the commitment to serving underrepresented communities in our area. We also will take any necessary precautions to optimize the health of participants. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely Yours, Sam Zales Lexington MLK Day Commemoration Committee Member Town Celebrations Sub-Committee Representative Ci it u d 1,11,7, 'TO"" OF L,,E,,,X' NGT V I ON N41, M Spec t, , IIPermitApplicat1fon, ApN�� III r, 'I 'iw,ry i �� ) li I�(wrn u) n'�,'� �, , d II i �,�M�V I r�, �u u '� 4 �i ^, vr "wii f v % !., e„k�� r r ,'r�rr r (, all i U, n a i;' a,i„".i� U f,N, tl ��z , J[],P u4 Or N r I I nxmnnnnnn>aa ews,ww�w:u����w'w'w',mrvmimo m uuum vwr,mmmmrn mrvmuuwwwmmm uwm�, n�ir»n'�';,""�✓T117NfN�"� �I%WIIIYIIII mmmmmnn,mu" � m��mmmmmmmre".rvm mimmm mmmrv'�mmm�mmmmm�m muw mwummus y we g -rvrv� i,� � ��� r r- i ow I�'' t ," y �ry �x..�,� „� Il',w'D � 4'k�al�'�WI,III �� I��„��I'�.� � �Ini ��I �%r, r� �%a riew"� r.

The Conservation Commission voted to accept this gift of land for conservation purposes pursuant to G.L. Ch. 40, § 8C, and to expend associated due diligence costs, up to $6,000, from the Lexington Nature Trust Fund on Monday, November 15, 2021. For background information, Richard Domings has generously offered to gift this parcel of land to the Town of Lexington Conservation Commission for conservation purposes as long as the gift was completed before the end of 2021. The parcel of land is a vacant lot located at 359 Lincoln Street, Assessors Map 34, Parcel 113, and as further referenced above as Lot 1-B. The lot is approximately 17,770± square feet consisting of conservation jurisdictional wetland resource areas, including an intermittent stream channel bisecting the lot along with associated vegetated wetlands and 100-foot buffer zone from bank and wetlands. It is located across from Idylwilde Conservation Area on Lincoln Street. Please refer to the attached Town GIS Map and Plan of Land for a general location overview. The Commission determined that the acceptance of this parcel is appropriate because it will provide for permanent protection of sensitive wetland areas and associated upland forested buffer zones. In addition, this lot has a lengthy permit denial and appeal history dating back to 1991, and it would be beneficial for this lot to be taken out of private ownership and permanently protected to avoid future development proposals and associated lengthy costly appeals of permit denials. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

The Select Board asked that TSG further refine the request by: • Considering extending the sidewalk all the way to the end at Pine Hills Golf Course. • Considering including improvements to the Cedar/Paul Revere/Hill intersection • Considering in more detail which side of the street is proposed and the potential impacts. Feedback from the neighborhood also demonstrated an interest in"fixing"the Hill/Paul Revere/Cedar Street intersection for both motorists and pedestrians. After feedback from the Select Board and many comments from residents, TSG re-examined how a sidewalk could be installed along the full length of Cedar Street. Posted with this memo is a revised conceptual plan which notes potential impacts. The sidewalk could be extended to Pine Hill Golf Course with minimal impact to private property and the need for tree removal, if the roadway width was reduced to 18 feet. The segment from Hill Street to Mass Ave will have the most impact on abutters as many homes are closer to the street than the required front setback,the right-of-way is narrow, and there are several large trees. Careful consideration by a design consultant will help us overcome/mitigate these issues A design consultant will help us make the final determination as to location and design. Due to utility poles,trees and substantial landscape features the consultant will be directed to design a sidewalk on the north side of the street. Since the September 26 Select Board meeting, TSG has been advised that due to budget demands, it is preferable that the capital request be split over two years. The proposed schedule is: • Design funding request at 2022 ATM • Design FY 2023 • Construction funding request 2023 ATM • Bid FY 2024 • Construct Summer/Fall 2024 Our recommendation remains that a sidewalk would increase safety on Cedar Street. TSG's investigations are conceptual as an in-depth analysis will determine the final proposal. The final location and design will be presented before construction funds are requested.

Marine 18 Oakmount Circle Lexin ton,MA 02420 November 5, 2021 Lexington Select Board Per email at SelectBoard@LexingtonMA.gov Application Submission for Membership on the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee Dear Members of the Select Board, I respectfully submit my application for membership on the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee. Since 2010 (and continuing), I have worked in affordable housing advocacy at Citizens' Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA), the state's umbrella organization for the advocacy of affordable housing and community development. As a Senior Program Manager, I am involved in a number of initiatives that further the production and preservation of affordable housing, and I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the consideration of the establishment of a municipal affordable housing trust and/or a CDC to further Lexington's affordable housing needs and goals. As set forth in your charge, the process for collecting and analyzing data, identifying funding sources (including potential new sources from the recently passed Housing Choice legislation) and ensuring meaningful roles of stakeholders mirrors the approach that informs much of my work at CHAPA. We strive to ensure that multiple points of view inform the decision-making process and contribute to the success of the initiative. Like most residents who have raised a family in Lexington and chose to remain, I love much about our community, but there is always room for improvement. As we learned during COVID-19, housing is the epicenter of our family, our health, our education, our work and our neighborhoods. Providing housing opportunities to households at all levels of affordability would help meet our articulated housing needs, our equity goals and would ensure that Lexington is a welcoming community to all.

Add any comments below or on a separate page. Signature: Date: November 5, 2021 November S, 2021 Dear Select Board, I have long been interested in affordable housing. I have an undergraduate degree in business with an emphasis on real estate and a minor in business law. I am currently studying to be a paralegal to help people get better access to better housing. My work experience includes managing low-income housing portfolios in Oregon and Washington. My work consists mainly of raising my three children and volunteering throughout our twenty years living in Lexington. I was on the board and served as President and Secretary of LexFUN and have been the webmaster for the League of Women Voters of Lexington for ten years. I was part of the Estabrook PTO for 13 years, where I served as Co-President and Treasurer and I served on the Estabrook Site Council. For two years, I served as the chairperson of the PTA/0 Presidents' Council. Through my volunteer experiences in town, I have learned much about how things work and getting things done in Lexington. I have spent many an evening at School Committee meetings, Select Board meetings, and Town Meeting; worked with many of the Town Boards and Committees, and worked with many town employees. I am very interested in being a part of bringing proposals to the Select Board and Town Meeting to adopt a Municipal Affordable Housing Trust and develop a non-profit Housing Development Corporation. The importance of evaluating these ideas and putting a plan into action is vital. I see my role on the committee as representing the people in town who do not have a career in real estate law or finance or a vast knowledge of affordable housing rules. As a committee member, I will ask the questions that residents and Town Meeting members will ask of the committee when the proposals are presented. I bring a strong work ethic, a hopeful outlook, and a willingness to learn. I have a very flexible schedule. This semester, I am taking two classes towards my paralegal degree. In addition, I have two children away at college and one in high school. Therefore, I have the time to commit to serving Lexington on this committee and the eagerness to be a part of something I believe is so important. I hope you will select me to serve on the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee. Thank you for your consideration.

How did you hear about the Committee.? Housing Partnership Board 1P Please attach a current resume, if possible. Add any comments below or on a separate page. Signature: Date: Nov. 5, 2021 am applying for the Affordable Housing Study Trust Committee because I am a long-time housing advocate and being a housing advocate is an important component of the AHT Study Committee. I have advocated for affordable housing, workforce housing, senior affordable housing, and LHA and LexHAB projects. In addition, as a former CPC Chair and then a CPC Member, I was involved in requests for affordable housing and moving affordable housing requests forward as well as working with and gaining the understanding of other committees identified in the charge. A Municipal Affordable Housing Trust (MAHT) is an important, necessary step for Lexington. It would give Lexington the flexibility to buy, and build needed new affordable and work force units.The last two pieces of land that the Town purchased for affordable housing were Farmview on Lowell St. and 116 Vine Street in 2009. (LexHAB purchased Fairview Ave. with LexHAB funds.) Out of Lexington's 11,964 housing units, only 5.7%are affordable. Presently, Lexington has 5.6%affordable rental units (669 units) and .1%affordable home ownership units (13 units). RHS lexington-info 2 (rhsohousin .or ) At meetings about MAHT, I have heard members from two committees say that CPC should have control over affordable housing funds. My concern is that the CPC funding is limited by a TM vote which is twice a year. Real estate transactions happen within a few weeks or months so being limited to a March-April or November vote make quick real estate transactions impossible. The MAHT would have a board of trustees to oversee real estate transactions and do what is in the best interests of the Town. also think that a Housing Development Corporation is an important step forward for Lexington and LexHAB is in support of a Housing Development Corporation.

FOLLOW-UP: DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 12/6/2021 9:05pm ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Stacey Prizio From: Ken Pog ra n Sent: Friday, December 3, 2021 12:59 PM To: Select Board Cc: Town Manager Subject: Status of Verizon HOS Cable Television Renewal License negotiation Members of the Select Board: I would like to provide an update on the Communications Advisory Committee's negotiations with Verizon regarding the FiOS Cable Television Renewal License. As you know, the current 15-year license formally expired on October 30, and the Board agreed to a 45-day informal extension of negotiations. Since then, we have had several exchanges with Verizon, including one Zoom negotiating session, regarding the major issues in contention. I am pleased to report, based on emails received from the Verizon representative over the last several days, that we are now essentially in agreement on all of the issues. I say "essentially" because my statement is based on the content of the emails; we have not yet seen Verizon's proposed final draft License. I believe that, in almost all areas of disagreement, the License will reflect the "fallback" provisions that are acceptable to the Town, rather than the Town's "preferred" positions. In just a few areas, Verizon accepted the Town's preferred position (based on the positions we briefed to Select Board members towards the end of the summer). There is one other provision in which minor clarification is still needed. I am hopeful that we will receive Verizon's proposed final draft License shortly. The CAC negotiating team will review this license and provide a summary to the Board, so that the Board may vote to approve and then sign the license. I will keep the Board informed of our progress in this regard. Sincerely, Ken Pogran Chair, Communications Advisory Committee i
