Identify the factors that may be contributing to the comparatively low voter turnout in local Lexington elections; 2. Explore evidence-based ways to increase participation in local elections; 3. Report findings and recommendations to the Select Board with the objective of informing the decisions and actions of the Select Board and other Town officials. Economic Development Advisory Committee(EDAC) • The Economic Advisory Committee reviewed proposed ARPA funding and noted that the $250,000 slated for small business support seems low and that programs to support small businesses, especially restaurants, should be put in place immediately. Members were concerned that the stress created by the pandemic could lead to more closures and that recovery would tal<e a long time if those closures weren't forestalled by economic support. • The EDAC expressed support for the two planned development projects contemplated for the annual Town Meeting (97-99 Hayden Ave and 470 Bedford St)subject to adequate mitigation in a memo of understanding with the developers.The committee will hold another meeting early in January to draft recommendations to the Select Board for elements of the MOU. Member Concerns • Legislative action on extending the ability to hold virtual representative town meetings. Current legislation allowing remote virtual town meetings expires in December. Given the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, it would be helpful to have the option of holding a virtual annual town meeting in 2022.While it is too early to advocate to actually hold a virtual meeting rather than an in-person meeting, having the option to make that decision will depend on the legislature tal<ing action. I would like for the Board to engage our legislative delegation to push for this extension of the current option. � Rapid action on elements of ARPA funding I would like for the Town to establish an economic stimulus program for businesses impacted by Covid-19.This has been part of the proposed ARPA funded options but has not been put in place. Reports from small businesses suggest that this is an area that should not be delayed and should be put in place as soon as possible even while we consider what other programs would address community needs created by the pandemic.

Dixon, Chair, Monuments & Memorials Committee DATE: December 2, 2021 SUBJECT: Recommendation for Approval of Lafayette Historical Marker Executive Summary As part of its planned 2024 commemoration of General Lafayette's visit to Lexington in 1824, the Lexington Historical Society wishes to collaborate with The Lafayette Trail, Inc. (TLT), a non- profit historical association, by installing an historical marker at an actual spot where Lafayette stood during his visit. On a first-come, first-served basis, TLT will produce and distribute 175 markers free of charge to interested communities. So far, 25 markers have been installed in the various states visited by Lafayette. Here in Massachusetts, two are installed and two more are in process. Marsha Baker, representing the Historical Society, first met with the Monuments & Memorials Committee on May 27, 2021. A committee working group undertook a site inspection of her proposed location at the entrance to Belfry Park on Massachusetts Avenue on June 2, 2021. The committee took a preliminary vote of approval on June 10, 2021. Marsha subsequently obtained unanimous approval from the Tourism Committee on July 8, 2021, after mutually agreeing to move the marker several feet into the interior of Belfry Park. On October 7, she met with the Historic Districts Commission and received a Certificate of Appropriateness. With these required approvals in hand, the M&M Committee unanimously voted to recommend approval of the proposed marker at the new location on November 4, 2021. What is Being Proposed A two-foot by three-foot cast aluminum rectangle atop a seven-foot aluminum pole. Only four feet of pole will remain above ground; three feet will be buried. The marker will have a bright blue background with white lettering and red border, representing the national colors of both France and the US. See Attachment#1. The proposed text is LAFAYETTE'S TOUR—ON SEPT. 2, 1824, GENERAL LAFAYETTE WAS RECEIVED ON THE COMMON AND ESCORTED TO THE MONUMENT HONORING THE BATTLE AND ITS HEROES. Location The proposed site is adjacent to the foot of the Battle Green where General Lafayette was greeted upon his arrival in Lexington. The reasons for this selection included 1) General Lafayette actually visited this site; and 2) its proximity and good sight lines to the Battle Green 1 while avoiding the potential controversies of a site closer to the Green. The Committee felt that the site was feasible, but some members expressed concerns that it might not be visible enough. A working group from the Committee conducted a site visit on June 2, 2021, accompanied by Marsha Baker and Dawn McKenna, Chair of the Tourism Committee. After being satisfied with the proposed location and upon learning that the Department of Public Works had agreed to prune and trim some intrusive shrubbery, the working group made a positive report to the Committee at its meeting of June 10, 2021, recommending approval of the proposed location. See Attachment#2. COSt There is no charge for the marker. The Lafayette Trail Inc. has funding to offer 175 markers free of charge to qualifying communities, including manufacturing and shipping costs. Towns are responsible for installation and future maintenance of the marker. Because Lafayette Trail Inc. is a non-profit organization, they do request a donation (approximately$1,000) to help defray their expenses. Marsha Baker has a plan in place to raise those funds from members of Lexington's Antony, France Sister City community. In addition, she has a firm commitment from one donor to cover the entire amount if necessary. There will be no need for Town funding. Maintenance Dave Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works, conducted a site inspection and stated that DPW funds can cover the installation and routine maintenance of the marker as well as regular pruning and landscaping of the surrounding shrubbery. See attachment#3. Preliminary Vote of Approval On June 10, 2021, Chair Dixon notified Marsha Baker that two key approvals needed to be obtained before this matter could be brought before the Select Board: The Tourism Committee, because the proposed location falls within the Battle Green Master Plan; and the Historic Districts Commission, because the proposed location falls within the Battle Green Historic District. Several Committee members felt that, since all relevant issues had been settled to their satisfaction, it was appropriate to take a preliminary vote to approve this proposal. After considerable discussion, the Committee took such a vote. Approval from Other Agencies On July 7, Marsha Baker met with the Tourism Committee. The Tourism Committee supported the concept and the plan but had concerns with the location at the Belfry Park entrance. After some negotiations, all parties agreed to move the marker several feet inside the park, still with an unobstructed line of sight to the Battle Green and the Minuteman Statue. The Tourism Committee then voted its unanimous approval. See Attachment#4. 2 On October 7, Marsha met with the Historic Districts Commission and obtained a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed marker in the new location. See Attachment#5. Final Meeting and Committee Decision At its meeting of November 4, 2021, Chair Dixon explained the slight change in the location of the marker on behalf of Marsha Baker, who was unable to attend. Tourism Chair Dawn McKenna presented photographs of the new location that demonstrated satisfactory visibility and sight lines and voiced her support for the proposal. After discussion, in a roll call vote of those members present, the Committee voted unanimously to approve, and recommend for approval to the Select Board, the installation of a marker to commemorate the visit of General Marquis de Lafayette to Lexington on September 2, 1824, at Belfry Park. Respectfully submitted, The Monuments and Memorials Committee Linda J. Dixon, Chair Glen Bassett Bebe Fallick George Gamota Charles Price Danjun Pu Nof Attending: Avram Baskin Charles French Leslie Masson Approval of Report Submitted to Select Board Chair Dixon prepared a draft summary report, circulated it to all committee members for review and comment, and presented the final report to the committee for approval at its regular meeting on December 2, 2021. By roll call vote of those members present, the Committee voted unanimously to approve the report and forward it to the Select Board for their consideration. 3 Attachment 1 Design and Color Scheme of Typical Lafayette Marker `��( ,f��` , ` ,� I 4� �/ �I� � �� , � �w � � � , ��, �, i �, " »„ ,,1. ,��i ��,�,�� ,. �'�;�,�T � j.; �; ` q��,�.- 6 � r �,,, I i i,�,r �, �, � , � � j�,,;,� � , � � " iu �, � �� n�, � i � �� , i „ ,,. � � � 7�� I�� '�� t� �`b 1 IVY � ,,,. �� ' �� , �� !�,� w��mi � j ii ��✓�o�//l� �F�� u � % � �� '�j'�, �J' � �� i �� i I '�>�... .��. � �,,� ;,� 4 Attachment 2 Proposed Location for Lafayette Monument ��yu,�,�. _ w� ; � � �, '�� Entrance to Belfry �J � ��, ' ' � Y�'. °y°�`�� Park � �� ;, � � � �,tu�r f F , � �`;, I �r`�� ,"°l�°' ��a " i� % , t � Massachusetts , Avenue and Clarke Street. �� ' � ��;�� « �>>��,,, , ;�;, ,�,, , „ .��,�, , „ �,�.

In part that is because there is landscaping to be done to make the site more visible from the Battle Green. We don't want the marker to stick out like a sore thumb, but do want it to have visibility. I will try to be at your meeting to add my perspective. Bottom line, we are on the same page and agree that have this site as part of the Lafayette Trail both meets our Sister City focus on France, and provides a meaningful marketing opportunity to something that took place in Lexington. Let me know if you have any questions.
