MINUTES
The Governor’s State of Emergency ended two days prior, which ended a provision for remote
public meetings. However between the time of the meeting and its public posting, the
Legislature signed Bill S2452, which extended remote participation for public meetings, and
the meeting was held both in person with quorum attending, and with remote online access.
The meeting began at 8:07 with the unanimous approval of minutes for June 1 & June 3, 2021
(as motioned by Mark and seconded by Carolyn).
Jackie was welcomed as the newest committee member, replacing Devin Marks.
Public comment noted that the Stone Building is currently being painted. T he Committee will
be asking our Select Board Liaison for information about that at the next meeting.
Mark spoke to the development of a method to review community ideas using a concept
criteria model, and will be sending around a poll to set up a future meeting for the committee
to look at this in more detail.
Mark also provided a slide that overviewed the committee’s char ter as it relates to
deliverables (see below). Read: the committee’s findings should be in keeping with these
three guiding requirements.

The Committee briefly spoke about individual task updates. Melinda gave an update about
planning for the second forum to happen close to the end of July (see slide, attached).
Jeff provided an over view (see attached slide) for looking at 5 different models that currently
exist within Lexington, with respect to looking at feasibility.
The Committee indicated an interest in continuing with a hybrid model of in-person, and
remote meeting options. Cristina requested assistance in being the person to provide set up
in the morning for the remote option in person (which requires being in position with a
computer at 7:50). Carolyn and Mark offered to help with this. It was universally agreed that
these meetings will likely continue to last for 75 minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20, as motioned by Lester, seconded by Anne and with
unanimous approval.
