Bailey, Buse, Kessler, and Mrs Battin; Mr. O'Connell, Town Manager; Mr Cohen, Town Counsel; Mr. McSweeney, Director of Public Works/Engineering; Mrs. McCurdy, Executive Clerk, were present At the request of the Town Clerk, the following jurors were drawn Jurors Russell H. Bean 2300 Massachusetts Avenue Donald Muse 110 Bedford Street Leon I1GolUb 4 Wyman Road Robert E. Blouin 30 Brandon Street Marvin Menzin 26 Mason Street William J. McLaughlin 559 Lowell Street William F. Byers 28 Fairlawn Lane Mr. John Finnegan, Chairman of Concord Town Celebrations Committee, Concord and Representative Lincoln P. Cole, Jr , Chairman of the Lexington Bi- Bicentennial centennial Committee, met with the Board. Coins Mr. Finnegan presented Concord Bicentennial medallions to members of the Board, Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Cole. He expressed the appreciation of the Town of !Concord for Lexington's cooperation during the planning anda.mplementatjon of the Bicentennial celebration. He informed all that 100 years ago, ILexington had thanked Concord by letter, and 50 years ago, the Selectmen had gone to Concord to thank them. Chairman Denney thanked Mr. Finnegan and asked him to bring back to Concord the sincere appreciation of the Town of Lexington for their efforts in making the joint Bicentennial celebration such a tremendous success. Mr Finnegan was presented a silkscreen plaque of the Lexington Minuteman, with the expectation that it would be hung in the Concord Selectmen's meeting room. Mr. Finnegan retired from the meeting. Mr. Victoi Cantone and Mr A. Laing, Mass. Department of Public Mass. DPW Works, met with the Board. Highway Mr. Laing: We are here because Mr McSweeney made inquiries on Safety Aid whether funds are available. We need locations from you on guard- rails for roadside obstacles. On signing, we put it out on contract Guardrails and Lexington OPW picks up and installs. Mr McSweeney is interested in traffic control signals and, if it is a high hazard situation, it Traf. Sig could qualify Worthen Road and Waltham Street is a high accident Worthen/ location. Waltham St Chairman Kenney What do we have to do to make application? Have traffic counts? Mr Canto*e Yes, and prepare all plans and specs and environ- mental impact statement - a negative statement of one page; if there 4 ) Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 isn't any controversy, we wouldn't need a public hearing Chairman Kenney I would doubt there would be at that location. Our Traffic Safety Committee has made a conclusion, and it is recommended to include it in our Capital budget Mr Cantone If it qualifies, there would be no appropriation by the Town You would have to design it first according to our standards. There are a couple of others available under the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau You have already applied for a painting machine, and there is another one for traffic counters Chairman Kenney Under the first program, you mentioned the installa- tion of guardrails Mr Cantone It would be the same thing - location and where it would start and end. The purpose is to protect people We have to have the information to put it in contract form, and it would be put out for contract areawide There is not much engineering to be done as we take it from where you give us and• combine it for a State contract for dis- tricts Traffic signals will be a separate contract; you give engineering drawings and the contract is prepared under federal standards. Chairman Kenney We can give you Bedford Street and Middle Street Mr Laing We allowed towns to put up traffic signals on State high- ways when we didn't have the money I hope we aren't getting into anything here Chairman Kenney We went to the Commissioner on Bedford Street. Mr Laing He wouldn't allow it? Chairman Kenney No It is about time we made an appointment to see Commissioner Carroll to discuss Bedford and Eldred Streets Mr. McSweeney When do you expect the contract on signing and the striping machine? Mr. Laing: Early in the spring and summer Chairman Kenney: We are pleased you came in and, obviously, we are interested in programs of highway safety and practical assistance Mr McSweeney is to contact you concerning forms and applications, and we would pursue this to get whatever is available for highway safety Mr Laing Just contact District #4 Mr. Cantone and Mr Laing retired from the meeting. CETA Mr O'Connell informed the Board that CETA expired on October 15 and Contract has to be extended to June 30, 1976 Extension Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize the Town Manager to `re-execute the contract with CETA to June 30, 1976. Permit Mr O'Connell discussed a request from the High School Choir group Christmas to sing carols in business areas, on sidewalks, during the Christmas Carols season. They will have donation boxes similar to the Salvation Army to subsidize a concern choir exchange group Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant permission to the High School Choir to sing carols in the business area during the Christmas season, with the understanding that there be small groups on the sidewalks. 4S9 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Mrs. Batt; came into meeting7 57 m. �► the at p Mr. O'Connell discussed the recreation ballfield lighting project Recreation There is a problem on this project at the Center playgrounds to allow Mr. McSweeney tb complete design work to get reliable bids There has been more effort on this project than anyone knows Town Meeting appro- priated $38,0001but, as Mr. McSweeney went forward to prepare for con- struction, we found three areas estimated as substantial deficiencies First, the group assumed incorrectly the costs of engineering work and it turns out it is much more than they thought because of the second project - the job to get the lighting system designed At the time, it was thought there were fairly normal soil conditions but no test borings were taken. After they were taken, soil conditions were found to be poor and it will be more than it was thought for light towers. After the job was estimated and an appropriation by Town Meeting, in further planning the height of two poles was increased from 60 to 80 feet. When they learned about the problem, they confined themselves solely to the project It was reviewed with the Recreation Committee and they confirm that this continues to have No. 1 priority They explored the alterna- tive to see if there was another ballfield in Town to light, and there isn't. Now, they feel this is still the right choice, and the first priority this year in the Capital budget will be for the balance. Mr I McSweeney and I bring it to you for, if he is to have a reliable bid, he will have to complete engineering work, especially on foundations, and he estimated up to $8,000 for engineering work for plans and specs for bidding If Town Meeting were to say we decline to give the money, we would have completed the design engineering but, if we wait, we will be without reliable information - and Mr McSweeney and I feel it should be done. The Recreation Committee priority isn't going to change but the question is when Town Meeting is going to allow them to complete the pro- ject. If we do it now, we will have plans and specs ready, and we will have a bid to krpow reliably what the total cost is going to be. Mr. Bailey* In general, I am sympathetic to the argument and the points presented but one thing that bothers me is getting $8,000. In my own judgment, I think it might be a very controversial item at Town Meeting. I wish we could do something for $2,000 and maybe get up to the point of putting a reasonable price tag on it It feels about $2,000 to me. Mr. Buse t Mr. McSweeney What about the borings? Mr. McSweeiiey I answer both questions. I could give you a reason- able figure down to zero, and we are well over the scope of the project as presented last year. Second, we have found between 25 to 50 feet of peat in there on the ballfield. With these kinds of conditions and the foundation, I would like to have someone specialized in this field, and preliminary estimates run between $6 to $8,000. Engineering could come up with engineering service contract and give you the items for Town Meeting, but I Wouldn't want to go out to contract that way. Mr. Bailey* We are talking over $60,000 all told; some $25,000 for III Town Meeting this year. 490 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Dr. Kessler: I have enough doubts about Town Meeting approving the project without talking about $8,000 now I would rather put it off and would vote against it. Mrs. Battin I concur Mr Bailey I would phrase it that if an intermediate position could be established to help us in putting together a package for Town Meeting for "X" dollars, I would be interested in hearing about that Chairman Kenney Mr Bailey has a good point If it is possible to give us something definitive and if we agreed, we could talk with the Appropriation Committee Then, it gives us the distinct advantage of going to Town Meeting and saying we are pretty confident that "X" dollars suffice Dr. Kessler As long as we are keeping it to hundred rather than thousands. Mr McSweeney We have taken the borings and we are talking approxi- mately $60,000 I could give you the figure we are talking for Town Meeting. I am saying I have firm proposals from soil experts and they range between $6 to $8,000 You would have an actual contract price Mrs. Battin: I don't think it is worth that Chairman Kenney It is my opinion if this is No 1 priority of the Recreation Committee, I think they can sell this project But there is another opinion that it might hurt the project Dr Kessler I remember the difficulty last year at Town Meeting and, to come in anticipating almost double the expense, it might kill the pro- ject Mr. Buse I still think we should take some steps. We have Mr McSweeney's thinking and we have to come up with some money spent for engineering. You can go from $150 to $500 per boring. We have to sit with the Recreation Committee to determine what avenue they will go They have to have all ammunition to go to Town Meeting I don't concur with $8 to $10,000. I think we should get all the information first and then we can pre-judge it. Mr. Bailey Everybody has said we aren't going to spend $8 to $10,000 Mr. O'Connell From what I hear tonight, the Board would go to Town Meeting for $8 to $10,000 but not ask for construction money Because the No. 1 problem is what type of foundation is best, I would urge Mr. McSweeney to stop, to ask for engineering money, and I would urge we take the next step and go to Town Meeting next year for construction money Mr. McSweeney wants to know what type of foundation is best and we don't have the in- house competent help to do it Dr. Kessler Get the Recreation Committee in and let them know the problems as we see them. Chairman Kenney to Mr McSweeney Is it that difficult on a final fix? Mr. McSweeney I have the fix and that is why we are here, knowing we won't come out anywhere near the $38,000 Chairman Kenney Are you saying you could tell us within 10 percent of what the project will cost? Mr McSweeney Yes 491 Selectmen's Meting November 24, 1975 Chairman Ikenney We will talk with the Recreation Committee and Mr. McSweeney is tcb get an estimate of what it would cost. The Board agreed to a joint meeting with the Recreation Committee on a Saturday morning. Mr Peter 'Plank, President, Mr Paul Goldmuntz, Director, of Re- Re-Place Place, Inc , Mr Irving Mabee and Dr Ellicott of the Drug Advisory Committee, met with the Board to discuss Re-Place, Inc Chairman tenney We have a letter from Mr Charles McManus, Drug Counselor, in general support of Re-Place and also have a letter from Mystic Valley Area Drug Coordinator, Donald Rahelich, saying that the Division of Dr gs' award of $13,500 has been reduced to $11,475, with the further possibility of cuts in State aid. Mr. Plank; Through our efforts this year, we will not need money before July of 1976; we cleared $2,500 from the auction. Basically, the decision that you, as citizens of Lexington, must make is, "Is Re-Place worth keeping going?" We do not know if we are going to get funds in '77 and, if we are fortunate in getting funds from the State, we will not use Town's funds. We feel it is an organization that reaches youth of the Town. It is not a cure-all for all youths of the Town but it reaches them and solves their troubles With the dollars involved, we have been successful in reaching them each month and, if problems, there are referrals The complexion has changed through the years; we started out six years ago as a drug center, and drugs are still much on the scene but our number is down considerably There are special concerns kids have in growing up As you know, the Town has been helping Re-Place by supplying counSelors for individual, family and group consultations, or perhpips we could say Re-Place has been helping Lexington by supplying an atmosphere in Which the Town's counselors can reach young people who need their help The young people do trust Re-Place as over 1800 calls in the first ten months of this year attest. At Re-Place, they find professional help for all kinds of problems, and there are many people at Re-Place who care by helping others in volunteering their time to man a hot line. We are asking for an outside figure of $15,000 in the event we do not get State funding. We intend to run events for money and, rather than come to ypu with hat in hand with no money, we would rather ask you if funding is possible. Mr. Bailey You are asking if $15,000 would cover all around. Dr. Ellicott We are going to increase the private sector if we can. Mr. Plank; St Brigid's gives us $1,000 and Hancock Church gives bed and board. Chairman Kenney You are aware that we weren't contributing but we were hiring counselors by the hour You should keep in mind that the Town was not responsible for the policy of Re-Place and, if there is any action there, you should consider if the Town goes in for $15,000 we are going to be responsible - and we don't want to be Mr. Plank,; Should we do away with Re-Place or come up with an answer that it is still worthy? We have 200 calls a month; 200 pregnancy calls a year. We have saved a few lives in past years because of overdoses, and I am not saying I can't support it. It is down to a decision that you, as the Town, ought to make 492 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Chairman Kenney If the Town puts in $15,000 for FY 77 and some- thing goes wrong, they come to the Town That question has to be settled - how we would fund it and leave you people the policy to run it Mr Mabee: I remember that we support the counselors and Mr McManus and it doesn't funnel through Re-Place The first piece of the pie goes to the Director; then 1/2 of one counselor, 1/2 of the other counselor, and the telephone We might think of it in terms of salary or hourly wage and handle as a private installation Mrs. Battin This is something the committee talked about and, even if we don't give more money, we ought to monitor currently The Massa- chusetts League of Cities and Towns has a human services group and they have been asked to take over federally funded organizations and not get into policy, but they do monitor and evaluate, and the committee could require monthly reports in terms of what's going on. Chairman Kenney to Mr Cohen See if it can be done. Mr. Cohen I am doing research on it to see if it is broadening and O.K. for the Town to spend money there. Mr. Plank Four years ago, we talked about getting together with Mystic Valley and decided that was not the way to go I feel kids who need help should get it, and Re-Place makes them feel comfortable. Maybe we could operate under that wing. Mr Bailey This has been a concern of ours. The Town supports Mystic Valley and we have tried to establish just how well the two groups mesh to- gether, and it is my personal opinion that Mystic Valley did not have the place to do what Re-Place has accomplished. It would be easier for this Board to make a quick and sudden decision but I don't know about Town Meeting. Dr Kassler Mr. Cohen could check if we drop support of a counselor and pick up the Director's salary, could they still maintain an independent status Mr Goldmuntz My salary is $9,000 Dr. Kessler Figure a way of picking up a couple of set items, maybe by shifting what we are paying for and still leave the independence. I think it is important that they maintain independence. Chairman Kenney That is the basic question. Mrs Battin I don't think you have to lose independence if you con- tract with an agency; to contract with a non-profit organization doesn't mean you operate it. Dr. Ellicott How do the Selectmen perceive the present arrangement - is it fee for services? Couldn't the Director be included for services; enlarge the present pattern and maintain it. Is Mystic Valley under the direction of the Selectmen or the Board of Health? Are you contracting with that body for fee for services? I don't understand it Mr O'Connell Neither does the Town. We are contributing along with four other towns for the defined share This organization is now up to a payroll of $1,250,000 a year Five towns have been contributing a certain share of operating costs, and the concern I have is that we do not have a contract arrangement, rather than a contract agreement 41):i Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Mr Bailey: Personally, it is the kind of a box I wouldn't want to get in again. Dr. Ellicott Our own precedent is fee for services. Chairman Klenney Yes, but it did not involve the Direotor and, to put him on the Mown payroll, we should ask Town Counsel the most appro- priate, clean method whereby it could be funded. Another thing is, we see the State backing down because of a financial crunch. This affects the Town, too; this would have to be a Town decision. I would expect there would be some support for this from the Board and then it would be up to other people to sell it. Now, we ask Town Counsel to give legal opinion Dr. Ellicott Our Director is trained to counsel; he has his Master's degree in Social Education Chairman Kenney When does the application go to the State? Mr. Plank In April Chairman Kenney How would the State react if Town Meeting voted to give $15,000? Mr Goldmuntz The only message I got was to seek other places for funds. Chairman Kenney We would have to ask our Town advisory group, and the fact that we are now giving $12,000, would they want to realign the priorities? Mrs. Battin It would be left with Mr McManus Chairman Kenney At this time, we will consider it a request for budget process, and Mr. O'Connell will take it and Mr Cohen will look into it. Messrs Plank, Mabee, Goldmuntz and Dr Ellicott retired from the meeting. Chairman Kenney to Mr. O'Connell For now, put in $20,000 in Account 1146-Juvenile Services, and we will ask for better information Mrs. Battin They want $25,000 Mr Lincoln P Cole, Jr , Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee, July 4th and Mr. Raymond Barnes, Chairman of the Town Celebrations Committee, Celebration met with the Board Mr Cole In the past, we suggested it would be a good idea to have a 4th of July celebration The two committees met, endorsed the concept and charged the Town Celebrations Committee with the task, with the Bicentennial Committee assisting The idea is to have strictly a home- grown thing with a parade, and to keep the cost down We wouldn't do any- thing to interflere with the Lions Club We toyed with the idea of having a Town picnic, and to have as much citizen participation as possible We took a ballparill figure of $1,000 and we would have to work with the Town Manager to see the effect on Town departments This would cover whatever we would have to do Chairman Kenney Have you run the idea through the Lions Club? Mr Cole No, but one of our members is a member of the Lions Club. Mr Barnes It might help them to get more people into town 494 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Mr Busa We don't need more people. Mr. Bailey I think we could start it through with an additional $1,000. Mr Cole If we could get every organization in town to march, we will Mr. O'Connell One thing we all have to keep in mind is the price has gone up on the police, who are now at time and a half Mr. Busa We might have a solution if April 19th goes well, then the dollar saving might shift to July 4th Chairman Kenney If the Bicentennial and Town Celebrations Com- mittees are enthusiastic to do something of a homespun nature, obviously the Selectmen will endorse it Mr Cole Thank you. We will charge the Town Celebrations Committee. Energy Mr. O'Connell informed the Board that he had received a letter from Program the Director of the Energy Bureau and it is not particularly different from last year's information on (1) heating fuel supply; (2) people being without fuel; (3) lack of money. The thrust of the letter is that the community has an answer to the problem that the State doesn't, and he has yet to get an answer from the State Last year, the Town elected not to have a committee and it is recommended that we proceed as we did last year; namely, not to have a town agency The Board agreed but with one exception - the matter of assistance to the elderly. Mr O'Connell is to discuss this with the Council of Aging. Chairman Kenney Are you thinking of restricting the use of Cary Hall? Mr. O'Connell The Board should decide on those it feels are in the public interest and decline to have those that are just hail rentals. We will operate on a low schedule of 600. 1975 Town Mr O'Connell advised the Board that, according to Mr. Zehner, the Report - total cost of having the color section in the 1975 Annual Town Report Color might run to $3-4,000. Chairman Kenney Then we will exceed the budget? Mr. O'Connell Yes I will come back to you with a quotation. Mitchell Mr O'Connell reported that nothing has been received in writing on the Mitchell death on a medical report or from the District Attorney. We believe we have all the pertinent information on a verbal basis but if he chooses not to file a written report, that is within his authority and the District Attorney's Mrs. Battin Is it customary for there to be this long a delay? The fact that we haven't heard from the District Attorney doesn't mean he doesn't have a report. Is this usual? Mr. O'Connell No I thought you might have more access on how long it takes to make a medical report. If he feels it is routine, it doesn't get out very fast '10 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Chairman Kinney We are awaiting a report from Mr. O'Connell on a conference with Chief Corr, Mr Cohen and Mr. O'Connell Mr. O'Connell distributed copies of the procedure on the prepare- TMMA tion and submission of Citizens' Articles, as furnished by the Town Citizens' Meeting Members Association Articles Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the Moon Hill request of Town Counsel to sign the Order of Taking of easements for Sewer the MOon Hill sewer construction Chairman Kenney read a report from the Director of Public Works/ Betterment Engineering recommending that the sewer betterment assessment of Five Deferment- Fields, Inc be deferred for another three years under the previous Five Fields, conditions. Inc Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted under the pro- visions of Chapter 159 of the Acts of 1950 to again defer payment of the sewer betterment for the Five Fields Area property, fronting on both Concord Avenue and Barberry Road in Lexington, owned by Five Fields, Inc , without interest, until said land or any part thereof if further developed, sold or until the expiration of three years from the date hereof{ whichever event occurs first; provided, however, that this extension Of time shall terminate immediately if said land or any portion thereof is further developed or sold Chairman Kenney read a request from Mr. McSweeney for approval of Contract an Extra Work Oder under Contract #73-2-E to Hall Pump Sales & Service 73-2-E - Corp. for repairs made to the comminutor at the North Lexington Pumping Extra Work Station Order Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted approve the recom- mendation of the Director of Public Works/Engineering for an Extra Work Order under Contract #73-2-E to Hall Pump Sales & Service Corp in the amount of $4,500; appropriation authorized under Article 12 of the 1973 Annual Town Meeting Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to sign Contract Contract #76-14-E, awarded on September 15, 1975 to Rentel & Frost, Inc. , - 76-14-E - Roxbury, for Ai* Conditioning of the East Lexington Branch Library in E.Lex. Li- the amount of $$,600; appropriation authorized under Article 30 of the brary Air 1975 Annual Town Meeting. Conditioning Chairman Kenney read a letter from the Executive Secretary of the Burlington Bedford Board of Selectmen regarding the situation at the Burlington Arcade Arcade access read. The Bedford Selectmen reaffirm their commitment to Lexington that the developer, Mr Martin Bernard, will not be al- lowed a curb cut onto Muller Road Since Mr Bernard has taken the case to court in order to gain access, Lexington Town Counsel is in- vited to work in conjunction with Bedford Town Counsel and represent the interests of the two communities . 1 496 Selectmen's Meeting November 24, 1975 Chairman KenneyIs there some wayit could be a matter of record that the Town of Lexington objects and opposes? Mr Bailey We should let Mr Cohen explore the matter The Board agreed to write to the Bedford Board of Selectmen inform- ing them that because the Town of Burlington was the defendant in the Martin Bernard suit, the Town of Lexington would not be an official part of the case However, our Town Counsel could study the pleadings and make suggestions to the Bedford Town Counsel if he so desired P 0 Park- Mr O'Connell and the Board discussed parking for Post Office patrons ing Meters and agreed to have 15-minute parking meters Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to install 15- minute parking meters in front of the Post Office. Mr. McSweeney was instructed to make arrangements for the installation of the meters. Resignation Chairman Kenney read a letter of resignation from Mr William McGonagle.

It was a wonderful experience and I would like to thank the officials and professional people of the Town, who are of a very high calibre. I am ,looking forward to a new way of life." Mr. Bailey; Anybody who takes over from you will be taking over a position where everything is in "apple pie" order I have served under you for 3-1/2 years and it has been a fantastic pleasure You're a winner all the Way, and you were a credit to the Town during the Bicen- tennial I am proud to be a member of your Board.
