1. Logo contest entries were reviewed by judges.First place winners were chosen in each
category See attached letter for list of winners.
2. A decision was made by members present to begin parallel process of going out to bid on
a new LEXPRESS contract using diesel buses while continuing to pursue the CNG bus
project.The major hurdle with moving forward with the CNG bus project at this time is
the additional operating costs that would be incurred.While we have begun pursuing
additional funding from the MBTA,they do not appear to have the resources in place to
assist the Town of Lexington at this time.A final effort will be made by Betty Eddison to
contact Representative Haven.Don Graham will prepare a written recommendation to
the Board of Selectmen to be supported by a technical memo from Nancy Kolb.
3 No quorum was present.Minutes of the October 14, 1998 meeting were not voted upon.
