Mark proposed that we meet every Thursday at 8am from now through the Trustees meeting,
May 18 (not including April 21/school vacation week). Moved by Mark, seconded by Anne.
Cristina will request Zoom links from the Town.
Mark proposed that we identify people to lead the presentations to Trustees/Select Board in
parallel with the report. Cristina and Mark volunteered to begin that process and provide an
update at the next meeting.
Mention of market demand to not be demand in the traditional real estate sense, but in
community interest.
Melinda to recirculate the Community Needs Assessment. She has created a review document
that should provide support to our market demand section, and will send that to the SBFRC
members.
Carolyn mentioned that we have taken the temperature but not a direct conversation about the
Stone Building and the interest with several individuals/groups and that is on the action list.
(LexSeeHer, DEI Officer for Lexington, Lexington Historical Society). It was requested that we
have a conversation at these meetings about the How (beyond the What), and do that really
soon.
It was questioned who takes on implementation of our recommendations. Les to follow up with
LHS.
