Call to Order
Mr. Lamb called this Remote (Virtual) Meeting, which had been posted as such, to order at
8:06 A.M. As only the Committee members were present and had been previously advised of
the special conditions of this meeting, he passed on repeating them (i.e., the authority to not
require a physical presence of a quorum and other selected terms under the Open Meeting
Law had, by legislation Governor Charles D. Baker signed on July 16, 2022, their expiration
extended to March 31, 2023.)
Mr. Lamb advised that materials provided electronically to the Committee or presented at the
meeting, would be available upon request and are those listed in the Minutes as Documents
Presented. Any votes during this meeting would be taken by a roll call. Further, this meeting
would be recorded to assist in preparing Minutes, and the recording would be deleted once
the Minutes are approved. By individual conversations to them, Mr. Lamb accomplished a
roll-call attendance and determined that all six members are present.
Public Comment on Matters Outside the Items on the Agenda
As Mr. Lamb confirmed there was no one beyond the Committee members joined, there were
no public comments.
Any CEC Participation in the Lexington School Building Committee (SBC)
Mr. Lamb described the primary information of that Town's new committee which is a
mandatory action in the current Lexington High School Project and is in conjunction with a
request for financial support by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The
Select Board has welcomed participation by the Town's Finance Committees with one or
more liaisons.
Mr. Lamb endorsed the CEC designating a liaison to the SBC because it will play role a key
role in that Project from design through funding and construction. Keeping in regular touch
with the SBC goes beyond this Committee's parallel participation in the School Committee.
Mr. Lamb volunteered to be the liaison.
After a thorough discussion, this Committee supported having Mr. Lamb as the liaison to the
SBC. A Motion was made and seconded that Mr. Lamb be this Committee's liaison to the
SBC. Roll-Call Vote: 6-0

Update to the Committee's Officers; Subject Areas & Liaison Assignments,
24 February 2022
Mr. Kanter introduced that last document and that updating is needed both because of the
recent change in the Committee membership and that all the members deserved an
opportunity to present any and all changes in responsibility. Mr. Lamb led the discussion of
which changes should be made within each of the three document's sections (elected
positions, informal liaisons to subject areas, and formal liaisons to Committee-selected,
other, Town entities) so the document would be updated to reflect the current decisions of all
the Committee members. The result (without page numbering) is:
