The proposed edits were reviewed in detail at the PBC meeting on 3-9-21 and were subsequently also reviewed at
a recent SLC meeting, The intent of tonight’s joint meeting was for both committees to approve the proposed edits
and recommend they be sent on to the School Committee and Select Board.
Additional discussion on scope item 2 adding line 8 to introduce Attachment B.
Additional discussion on the term “stakeholder” under section v, item 2 and if “stakeholder” was defined.
Definition found within policy.
Language was to be added to include a priority for pursuing grants and incentives.
Some discussion on Attachment B and that its particular references to the High Scholl project should remain for
the High School RFS, but a generic version could be adapted for inclusion in the policy.
Todd Rhodes from Sustainable Lexington Committee shared his screen and walked everyone through the three
documents, noting all the proposed changes: the amended Integrated Building Design and Construction Policy,
the amended Attachment A (the Goals Checklist), and a new Attachment B (sample feasibility phase work plan).
The SLC voted to accept and recommend the Policy edits.
Jon Himmel, made a motion that the PBC approve the edits as drafted to the Integrated Design Policy with
Attachments A & B, for inclusion into the High School Request for Services and to forward to the School
Committee and Select Board for final approval. Motion Second by Fred Merrill. All voted in Favor.
