Dr Julian Jakob Bussgang, passed away on September 16th at the age of 98. He was born on March 26,
1925 to the Stefania and Joseph Bussgang in Lwow, Poland (now Lviv, Ukraine). On September 1
1939 a year after Julian s bar mitzvah, the German army invaded Poland. On September 18'h Julian,
his parents and sister Janine fled Poland, making a crucial decision that likely saved their lives - to travel
south to Romania, rather than east towards Russia, thus avoiding capture of the Soviet army and almost
certain death in Siberia. In Romania Julian enrolled again in school, first in a French boy's school but
by 1940 there were enough Polish immigrants in Romania to open a separate Polish school, and he
transferred there. His parents became increasingly concerned for their safety in Romania and tried to
gain visas to somewhere safer. Julian's father still had four bars of gold that he had smuggled into
Romania, so he was able to convince the British Mandate of Palestine that he was a capitalist, not a
refugee, thus gaining a capitalist visas. On March 20, 1940, the family left Romania for Haifa, arriving
March 25th the day before Julian s 15th birthday
After finishing high school in Tel Aviv, Julian joined the Polish 2nd Corps which had become a part of
the British Army He first trained with an armored unit in Egypt, and years later, whenever criticized his
driving, he joked, "I first learned to drive a tank" He saw combat in Italy as a member of the light anti-
aircraft artillery and participated in the Polish Army attack on Monte Cassino and later fought in the
battles of Ancona and Bologna.
When the war ended, he was sent to northern Italy to help the British soldiers sort the liberated
concentration camp survivors. This experience revealed the horrors that his family had narrowly
avoided by leaving Poland and Romania. Julian remained briefly in Italy to attend the Polytechnic of
Turin, and then transferred to the Polish Resettlement Corps in England, resuming his studies at the
University of London, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering in
Telecommunications. In 1949, he came to the United States and enrolled at MIT and establish a new
10
11
November 7 2023 Special Town Meeting#1, continued
life. He received Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree from MIT in 1951, publishing his
thesis, later known as The Bussgang Theorem, as a report for M1T's Research Laboratory of
Electronics. The Bussgang Theorem became a popular tool for stochastic analysis and signal processing,
with important applications in radar, sound, and digital communications.
He went on to earn his PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard in 1955 and went to work at MIT Lincoln
Laboratory and then at RCA's Aerospace Division. He then founded Signatron, Inc., an electronics
communication company in Lexington that went on to make significant impacts in the field of applied
physics, electronics, and communications. Ile was a consultant to Grumman Aircraft, contributing to the
Apollo 11 lunar module project for man's first trip to the moon, and served as a consultant in the
creation of Raytheon's Patriot missile defense system. He held six patents and a top-secret security
clearance, and also lectured in the graduate electrical engineering program at Northeastern University
and taught a graduate course in signal processing at Harvard. In 1984 Signatron was acquired by a
defense electronics firm and Julian retired in 1987
In honor of his professional contributions, he was named a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and received their Distinguished Service Award.
After retirement from Signatron, Julian and his beloved wife, Fay, began a second career together- a
decades long mission to support and memorialize the history of Polish Jewry These efforts included
living in Warsaw and Krakow after the Call of the Berlin Wall, volunteering with the nonprofit
International Executive Service Corps, and helping to privatize Polish industry
Julian and Fay also translated two volumes of wartime accounts of child survivors still living in Poland.
In honor of his army service and leadership in supporting Polish Jewish relations after the war, Julian
was awarded the Knight s Cross of the Order of Merit of Poland in 2011
One could speculate that these efforts were fueled in part by a survivors burden, which Julian described
_ in his memoir. "Many members of my family our friends and acquaintances, my school friends. many
of the people I knew and loved were killed by the Nazis. I've been one of the lucky ones, l survived,
but' he added, "the Holocaust still affected me. Lurking in the depth of my soul there's a gnawing
sorrow and haunting memories"
Julian first met Fay Vogel, who had a doctorate in education, through a mutual friend. They married in
1960 and raise three children in Lexington , Jeffrey Jessica and Julie. Lexington was their home for
over 40 years before Fay and Julian moved to a retirement community in Dedham fourteen years ago.
Here in Lexington, Julian was very actively engaged in civic life and served in Town Meeting for close
to twenty years. He was Chair of the Cable Communication Committee and served on a number of
other committees, including the Environmental Subcommittee of the Hanscom Area Towns Committee,
tasked with assessing the environmental impacts of the Mass Port Hanscom Field airport activities and
their expansion proposals. Those who were lucky enough to know Julian and serve with him remember
him fondly as soft spoken, analytical, whip smart with a droll sense of humor His son Jeffrey describes
how, despite his extraordinary professional accomplishments, his father was remarkably ordinary at
home - loving playful silly - and that despite all that he had endured in his childhood, somehow he
retained an extraordinary optimism and positivity
The Moderator extended deepest sympathy to Julian's wife Fay his children Jeffrey, Jessica and Julie,
and their spouses, Thomas, Rich, and Linda, as well as his eight grandchildren and beloved nephew
William A. Ridgley, Sr. passed away on April 17.2023 at the age of 87 Bill, as he was known, was born
in Cambridge, on Easter Sunday, April 12, 1936, to Marguerite Eleanor Ridgley and Frederick Ridgley
Bill was the seventh child in a family that grew to 11 children.

November 7 1013 Special Town Meeting #1 continued
From a very young age, Bill exhibited a strong sense of responsibility and a keen desire to help others. He
led by example as a boy scout, as a traffic crossing guard, and this quality of leading by example became a
theme throughout his life.
In January 1958, during the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the United States Army were he saw combat in
the 25th infantry in Laos. In 1961, he transitioned to the Azuty Corps Reserves, where he received the
Good Conduct Medal and was honorably discharged in 1963
In 1961 Bill joined the Cambridge Fire Department. Bill went on to earn his associate degree in Fire
Sciences from Massachusetts Bay Community College in 1976, graduating with honors. As he rose
through the ranks of the Cambridge Fire Department, Bill continued to lead by example, teaching the next
generation of firefighters, both as an Instructor at the Massachusetts Fire Academy, and as supervising
instructor for the Junior Fire Brigade Program in the City of Cambridge. In 1977 he was a finalist for the
position of Fire Chief in Lexington. Bill's hard work and perseverance paid off when he was promoted to
Captain in 1982, becoming one of the first African American fire captains in Cambridge. He would hold
this rank up until his retirement in 1995, having served with great distinction for more than 33 years.
In 1964, Bill married Beverly Fuller, and they had two children, Michelle and William, Jr ("Billy). The
family moved to Lexington in 1968, and here he quickly immersed himself in the community Here, too
he came to lead by example, to help build for his own family a more inclusive and equitable community
His daughter, Michelle, remembers bringing home a book from the elementary school library that many
would consider racist and inappropriate—an incident which inspired her father to join the School PTA and
then to run for Town Meeting, becoming the first black citizen elected to the body
He served 2 three-year terms from 1977 to 1983 as a proud representative of Precinct 3 In this role, he
passionately addressed injustice and inequality For example, challenging the police chief on the
disproportionate number of traffic stops for people of color in Town. With equal passion and enthusiasm,
he displayed his love for and deep pride of the community—proudly participating in the Patriot's Day
Parade and emerging as a champion in Town Meeting for the establishment of Lexpress. Michelle has
vivid memories of the night that Town Meeting voted to approve the start of Lexpress service Even as a
child the importance and excitement of that night was not lost on her, and the lesson of what a determined
group of people could do to improve the Town they loved.
There were other lessons from that time as well There were racists messages on the home answering
machine with veiled, or not so veiled threats, meant to discourage her father from seeking re-election, but
it didn't stop him. Fie and other residents formed the Concerned Black Citizens of Lexington, the
precursor to today's ABCL, the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington, and Bill served as the
organization's first president. Many years later, in 2021 the ABCL honored Bill by including him among
the inaugural group of portrait banners depicting prominent African Americans who had made significant
impacts on the Lexington community the Commonwealth, or the nation.
The Moderator noted that she wished she had known Bill, but his time as a Town Meeting member ended
before she had moved to Lexington. She offered her thanks to his daughter, Michelle, for sharing with her
so many details of his life with her. She stated that Michelle had described a man who could both deeply
love this community and shine a n unflinching light on its shortcomings, all in the name of creating a more
just, equitable and fair community for all. Michelle had also said that he wasn't afraid of raising a little
"heck", if raising a little heck was what the moment called for. He was fiercely protective of his family
He worked hard to ensure that his children were provided for actively fought for them to grown up in an
inclusive community On a personal level, she described a man who was deeply dedicated to his family
and exceptionally generous with those that he loved and cared for, taking great pleasure in giving to
others. Every Valentine's Day he had arrived on her doorstep with a dozen roses in hand and made it clear
that he didn't care if anyone else had given her flowers. He was famous for his chocolate chip cookies
which he would regularly bake and deliver to friends and family He also adored his only grandchild,
Alicia, the light and delight of his life.

At her father's memorial service, Michelle challenged those in attendance to follow the example of her
father and in doing so to honor his legacy In her words, "I ask that you practice gratitude, celebrate, and
show appreciation for one another. Give others their flowers while they are here to receive them. Let
them know that you see them, let them know that they are loved, respected, honored and cherished." The
Moderator noted that this was a wonderful reminder to all.
The Moderator extended deepest sympathy Bill's children Michelle Billy, and to his former wife Beverly
The Moderator noted that they were all present in the Hall that evening, including his granddaughter
Alicia. Words of sympathy were also offered to his surviving siblings Frederick , Joan, and Maxine.
A Moment of Silence was observed for Julian and Bill.

of 1985, Chapter 117 of the Acts of 2019, and Chapter 3 of the Acts of 2020 is hereby amended by

Section lA
The terms below shall have the following meanings for the purposes of Sections 1A and 1B.
`Batch elimination,"the simultaneous defeat of multiple candidates, as provided in Section 1B(d).
"Concluded ballot, a ballot that does not rank any continuing candidate or that contains an overvote
at the highest-ranked continuing candidate.
"Continuing candidate, a candidate who has not been defeated or elected.
"Elected candidate," a candidate who has obtained sufficient votes to be elected, whether there are
additional election rounds before the election has concluded, or the election concluded after the vote
during which they were elected.
"Election threshold,"the number of votes sufficient for a candidate to be elected in a multi-seat election.
It is calculated by dividing the total number of votes counting for continuing candidates in the first round
by the sum of the number of seats to be elected plus one,disregarding any fractions, and then adding one.
"Highest-ranked continuing candidate,"the continuing candidate with the highest ranking on a voter's
ballot.
"Last-place candidate," (i) the candidate with the lowest vote total in a round of the ranked- choice
voting tabulation; or (ii) a candidate that is defeated in batch elimination.
"Overvote," a circumstance in which a voter ranks more than one candidate at the same ranking.
"Plurality voting," the voting system in which the candidate receiving the most votes is declared the
winner, even if such candidate does not receive a majority of the votes cast in the election.
"Ranked choice voting," a method of casting and tabulating ballots in which voters rank candidates for
office in order of preference.
"Ranking," means the number assigned on a ballot by a voter to a candidate to express the voter's
preference for that candidate. Ranking number one shall be the highest ranking,ranking number two shall
be the next-highest ranking, and so on.
"Skipped ranking," a circumstance in which a vote does not use a ranking and ranks a candidate with a
subsequent ranking (e.g., a voter casts their votes as follows: (1)Jane Doe; (2) Michael Smith; (4)Mary
Johnson). J
"Surplus fraction,"the number equal to the difference between an elected candidate's vote total and the
election threshold, divided by the candidate's vote total.
14

November 7 2023 Special Town Meeting#1, continued
"Transfer value," the proportion of a vote that a ballot will count to its highest-ranked continuing
candidate. Each ballot shall begin with a transfer value of one. If a ballot counts to the election of a
candidate under subsection 1B(d)(1), it receives a lower transfer value.
Section 1B
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1, or any other special or general law to the contrary,on
or after January 1,2025,the following town offices shall be elected by ranked choice voting, except for
(1) a single-seat office when the number of certified candidates is less than or equal to two, or (2) a
multi-seat office when the number of certified candidates is less than or equal to the number of seats to
be elected, provided that this Section 1B shall not affect the term of office of any such elected official
or elected member of such board, committee or authority elected on or before December 31 2024
(1) moderator;
(2) select board;
(3) school committee;
(4) Lexington housing authority; and
(5) planning board.
(b) In any single-seat election, each round shall begin by counting the number of votes for each
continuing candidate. Each ballot shall count as one vote for its highest-ranked continuing candidate.
Concluded ballots shall not be counted for any continuing candidate. Each round shall end with one of
the following two outcomes:
(1) If there are more than two continuing candidates, no candidate may win the seat outright by
-- a plurality or majority vote and instead, after a vote, (i)the last-place candidate shall be defeated; or(ii)
the last-place candidates shall be defeated in batch elimination, and a new round shall begin; or
(2) If there are two continuing candidates, the candidate with the fewest votes shall be
defeated, the candidate with the most votes shall be elected, and tabulation shall be complete.
(c) In any multi-seat election,each round shall begin by counting the number of votes for each continuing
candidate. Each ballot shall count, at its current transfer value, for its highest-ranked continuing
candidate. Concluded ballots shall not count for any continuing candidate. In the first round only, the
election threshold shall then be calculated. Each round shall proceed as follows:
(1) Any continuing candidate who meets or exceeds the election threshold shall be elected. Each
ballot counting for an elected candidate shall be assigned a new transfer value by multiplying the ballot s
current transfer value by the surplus fraction for the candidate. Each elected candidate shall be deemed to
have a number of votes equal to the election threshold in all future rounds, and a new round shall begin;
each candidate having exceeded the Election Threshold in the initial ballot shall be removed or listed as
"ELECTED"on all subsequent ballots for continuing candidates until the election is complete;
(2) If no continuing candidate has more votes than the election threshold and the sum of the
number of elected candidates and continuing candidates is more than the sum of the number of seats to
be elected plus one, the last-place candidate shall be defeated or the last-place candidates shall be
defeated in batch elimination, and a new round shall begin; or
(3) If no continuing candidate has more votes than the election threshold and the sum of the
number of elected candidates and continuing candidates is equal to the sum of the number of seats to be
elected plus one, the continuing candidate with fewest votes shall be defeated, all other continuing
candidates shall be elected, and the election is complete.

November 7 2023 Special Town Meeting#1 continued
(d) Batch elimination shall apply to the largest possible group of continuing candidates such that the sum
of the votes for batch-eliminated candidates is less than the individual number of votes for every
continuing candidate not in the group; provided that the number of continuing candidates not batch-
eliminated is at least one more than the remaining number of positions to elect.
(e) Ties shall be resolved as follows:
J
(1) If two or more last-place candidates are tied and batch elimination applies, each tied
candidate to whom batch elimination applies shall be defeated accordingly
(2) If two or more continuing candidates are tied but are not in last place, the order of said tied
continuing candidates shall be determined by the number of votes received by each tied candidate in the
prior round; or
(3) If two or more last-place continuing candidates are tied and batch elimination does not
apply the continuing candidate with the fewest votes in the prior round shall be defeated. If two or
more continuing candidates were also tied in the prior round (i.e., two continuing candidates were
tied in the previous round, but batch elimination did not then apply), the continuing candidate with
the fewest votes in the next-prior round shall be eliminated. If two last-place continuing candidates are
tied at the end of the first round and batch elimination does not apply,then the two tied continuing
candidates shall have a run-off before the next round. The continuing candidate with fewer votes in the
runoff will be defeated, and any remaining rounds in the election will proceed according to this Section
IB. This process shall be applied successively as many times as necessary, a tie shown in any prior
round shall be decided by referring to the standing of the candidates in the round immediately
preceding the tie.
(f) The Town Clerk may, at the Town Clerk's discretion,publish guidance or rules on the administration -
of elections conducted according to this Act; provided that any such guidance or rules shall be limited
to logistical, accessibility, or other similar guidance or rules that are purely administrative in nature; and
provided further that any guidance or rules hereunder published shall be limited to ensuring the integrity
and efficient functioning of the election.
(g) In any election conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section lA and Section 1B, the
Town Clerk shall publish election results that show the tabulations by round, along with any additional
information that may be required by applicable law
7:52 p.m. Mr. Sreeni Chippada presented information on the Article.
Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member, noted that the Select Board had 3 Members in favor, 1 opposed, and
1 awaiting Town Meeting discussion.
Sanjay Padaki, Vice Chair of the Appropriation Committee stated that the Appropriation Committee was
divided with a vote of 3 Members in favor, 4 against, and 1 abstaining.
8:03 p.m. Margaret Coppe, Pct, 8, and Convener of League of Women Voters for the Town of
Lexington, stated the Board of the League had voted unanimously at a meeting of October
2, 2023 to support implementation of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Lexington based on
positions adopted by the State and National Leagues in 2005 She noted that League
studies were based on extensive study and consensus across all Leagues in the country, and
noted that RCV could be used for many different offices.
8.06 p.m. Steve Kaufman, Pct. 5, said that he was confused by the example in the video with relation
to multiple candidates running and asked for clarification on how some votes were allotted
to others.
Greg Dennis, Representative for Voter Choice Massachusetts, stated that every voter only
gets one vote, but to think of the division like a dollar, if first choice candidate has enough
16
17
November 7 2023 Special Town Meeting#1, continued
votes to win, the rest of the "change", could be spent on next choice. Mr. Kaufman said
that this was still confusing and asked for clarification as it sounded as if someone voted for
the leader they had extra. Mr. Dennis said that if there was a vote for a candidate who is
defeated, the full vote would then count to next choice, but it was still 1 person 1 vote. Mr.
Kaufman asked if they could be told what the problem was in Town of Lexington they
were trying to solve and give an example. Mr. Chippada said that the problem was not
more candidates running but the problem was that they did not have enough candidates to
run and enough voters engaged and this would give opportunities for non-incumbents to
run and win the seat.
8 10 p.m. Gloria Bloom, Pct. 4, said that was very enthusiastic about RCV for single seat voting and
appreciated the effort to bring into Town, but not when there was 2 seat election and that
there needed to be more discussion regarding the issues.
8 13 p.m. Rina Schneur, 136 East Emerson Road, expressed support for RCV and said that RCV
allowed for new and diverse candidates and increased turnout at elections.
8 14 p.m. David Kanter, Pct. 7, asked for where it was applicable on the proponent's diagram, and
whether it can be divided between Town and state activities Mina Makarious, Town
Counsel, stated that he would take the second question and that RCV would only be
applicable to the Town because the Town didn't have the authority to change state and
federal elections. Mr Kanter asked if it could pass the Legislature. Mr. Makarious stated
that to clarify, there was a reason to bring it to the Legislature, but there were still
limitations. The Town could not change its form of voting , even on the local level, without
authorization from the State Legislature, and this was why the Home Rule Petition was
needed as it was changed by Special Act. He further stated that even if it was changed by
the Legislature for local elections, the Legislators have not endorsed changing the way that
one municipality elects its state and federal officials. Mr. Kanter asked if the request to the
Legislature would offer control to which locality got to be used. Mr Makarious said that it
was only a control over elections within the Town, and limited to Town Officials and State
and Federal ballots, as well as the voting system, continued to be governed by State Law
DK clarification which part of activity in Lexington was covered by the proposed changes
in voting. Mr. Makarious said that the part that was covered was elected officials in the
Town, not including Town Meeting Members. Mr Kanter as the proponents why Town
Meeting Members were excluded. Mr. Makarious stated that the initial petition proposed it,
but would let Petitioners describe how they came to this, but that basically it would require
additional legislations (and possibly more complications). Mr. Chippada stated that they
initially included the Town Meeting Members, but that after meeting with the Select Board
and Town Counsel, they understood that implementing it for Town Meeting Members
could be a bit more complicated and lead to confusion, including trying to understand how
the ballot might be laid out if there were many candidates.
8 19 p.m. Bob Avallone, Pct. 8, said that he recommended that Lexington set an example for other
communities, consider themselves a leader, and set example for nation and world. He
stated that this would help get people used to the idea and that it only applies if there are 3
or more candidates running. He then urged Members to vote yes on the Article
8.22 p.m. Members continued to discuss and debate the Article, including whether excluding Town
Meeting Members from the Article should be done.
8.51 p.m. Mark St. Louis, Pct. 5, and Co-Chair of the Democratic Town Committee, raised a point of
order He stated that in the presentation it had been said that the Democratic Town
Committee supported the Article, but when they their meeting regarding it, they did not
support for it for Town elections, only for Federal and State.
8:58 p.m. Avram Baskin, Pct. 2, asked whether the proponents had attempted to get endorsement
from the Republican Town Committee. Mr. Chippada stated that they did attempt to email

candidates to the ballot to run, and win, and serve. He said that the Town needed
representation from minorities and non-incumbents to better reflect the population.
9:06 p.m. Deb Strod, Pct. 6, raised a point of order She asked if they could be given an updated
count of the Select Board. Mr. Lucente indicated that he intended to vote no.

pilot program, including the installation of temporary speed humps on Walnut Street; and all incidental
costs related thereto, and that to meet this appropriation $101,000 be appropriated from the Traffic
Mitigation Stabilization Fund.
9.10 p.m. Sheila Page, Assistant Planning Director and Coordinator of the Transportation Safety
Group (TSG), presented information on the Article.

the Article.

November 7 2023 Special Town Meeting#1 continued
Charles Lamb, Chair of the Capital Expenditures Committee, said that the Capital
Expenditures Committee unanimously answered yes as a fiscally appropriate path, but
noted that the Committee did not question whether it was the right program, and have left
that for the Select Board and Town Meeting to discuss and said that the Meeting should
consider the impact of emergency response times that speed humps would necessarily
incur, and consider the trade-off between increased emergency response times versus
pedestrian and motor vehicle safety on Walnut Street. Ile noted that the Committee
unanimously supported the goals and financial aspects of the Article.
Alan Levine, Member of the Appropriation Committee. stated that the Appropriation
recommended approval of the Article with a vote of 8-0.
9.16 p.m. Frank Smith, Pct. 3, said that while he understands why the TSG had wanted to do a pilot
of speed humps, he questioned the choice of Walnut Street, which is extremely narrow,
hilly, and used by the Fire Department as a primary emergency response road and there was
a Waltham Fire Station at the other end which used Walnut St. for the Town's primary
mutual aid for East Lexington. He further noted that there were two group homes on the
street with handicapped residents, as well as a large nursing/rehab facility and Potter Pond.
He stated that he had heard the Fire Chief say at a prior Select Board Meeting that he didn't
like speed bumps and that Walnut Street wouldn't be among the best places for them. Mr.
Smith asked if, when the decision was made for the pilot on Walnut Street, whether they
already had the testimony from the Chief, and whether there were any other locations that
would be better based upon it. His second question was whether there had been any
accidents or injuries that were linked to excessive speed on the street. Assistant Planning
Director, Sheila Page, said that Walnut Street had been selected as it was narrow and
speeds were often excessive. They had already painted double yellow lines to slow down
cars, installed speed feedback radar sign, which had lowered specds 1-2 miles per hour, but
they were starting creeping up, and the neighbors in the area would like to try the speed
hump program. She noted that as it was not an ideal street, it was a good place for the trial
as was temporary and could be adjusted as needed. Mr Smith asked that the Fire Chief
weigh in on the issue. Chief Derek Sencabaugh stated that he does have concerns and
speed humps were not usually recommended on emergency response routes. Chief
Sencabaugh also noted that there was a nursing home at the town line and group homes and
that response time was a very important factor when considering that the speed humps
could slow it down. Chief Sencabaugh said that there had been accidents at Walnut at
Concord. Ms. Paige followed up by stating that there had been 5 accidents reported to the
Police from 2017 from 2023. but that she didn't know the nature of the accidents,
9:24 p.m. Jay Luker, Pet. 1 why not piloting some of the designs that wouldn't affect response times.
Ms. Paige include speed tables and speed cushions final design to be determined. JL—
equipment is decided by the amount. SP—budgeted for most expensive so any of those
designs. What percentage of Salem trials meant permanent humps. 1 of 3 locations speed
hump installed, and 1 of 3 speed table. JL do you have an idea that this will result in
permanent location. SP, speculative, pretty confident it will reduce speeds, one of things
tracked will he emergency services. JL what would need to see to change your position.
Chief Sencabaugh, not sure how they re going to play out and what the final product would
be. Doesn't feel would change his mind.

MOTION
Mr Peters moves that the Zoning Bylaw, Chapter 135 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, be amended

non-substantive changes to the numbering of this bylaw be permitted to comply with the numbering format
of the Code of the Town of Lexington.
1 Amend §135-9.3.3 as follows:
Associate Member. The Planning Board shall elect an associate member to serve for one year, or until
replaced. In the case where the Planning Board is the SPGA, The Chairman of the Planning Board may
have the an associate member sit on the Board for the purpose of acting on a special permit, site plan
review or any other application that may come before the Board, in the case of absence, inability to act,
or conflict of interest on the part of any member of the Planning Board or in the event of a vacancy on the
Board.
9:59 p.m. Bob Avallone, Pct. 8, asked for information on the process of choosing an associate
member. Mr Peters stated that the associate member would serve for 1 year, or until
replaced by the Board, have to submit an application, and then be elected by the 5-member
Board
10.00 p.m. Leonard Morse-Fortier, Pct. 7, said that it appeared that if the Planning Board chose the
member, the public would not have input into the process, but Planning Board members
usually had to run for Office. Mr. Peters said that they were not reengineering the process
and that the associate member position currently exists for Special permits exclusively, so
they were just encompassing the position to also include site plan review
10:08 p.m. Mina Makarious, Town Counsel, noted that the when associate member sits it was not at
discretion of chair, there had to be a reason for it, and it would mean that someone from the
Board was unable to serve for some reason.

selecting an applicant.

C. websites reporting local news and opinion which satisfy all criteria for digital publication set forth
in said section 13(b) of chapter 4 of the General Laws;

8.22 p.m. Jay Luker, Pct. 1 questioned whether there were issues in proving authenticity of when a
notice was posted.
Joe Pato, Select Board Chair, stated that the Select Board had not yet discussed the
implementation as it would need to the Legislature, first. Mina Makarious, Town Counsel,
noted that this was an issue to be discussed at that time, but that usually finding out when
digital posting was easier to discover. He noted that when sending things to the newspaper,
there was a time cycle and the posting had to be there by a certain date.
8:25 p.m. Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6, asked if the Town could choose to put on link to legal notices on
their site. Mr Makarious said they could. Ms. McKenna noted that she was concerned about
the possibility that each time a notice was done, the language that allows it could possibly
also allow a change to the method. She asked whether the School Committee and Select
Board could pick separate or different methods from each other Mr. Makarious agreed that
they could. Ms. McKenna said that she was concerned about each entity doing something
different and hoped that they could figure something out in collaboration. Ms. Pursley said
that the Town had flexibility in the choices of posting. Mr Makarious noted that there was a
relative independence of the School Committee from Town government and that if a bylaw
44
1
would require just the Select Board to choose the method, it could bring into question
whether the School Committee could operate independently
8.30 p.m. Members continued to discuss and debate the Article.

8.44 p.m. Sanjay Padaki raised a Point of Order that in the last paragraph the apostrophes were

seemed to be a typo. (Corrected version below)

Motion was adopted by unanimous voice vote and the Meeting adjourned.
April 3. 2024 Adjourned Session of the 2024 Annual Town Meetine
Moderator Deborah Brown called the fifth session of 2024 Annual Town Meeting to order at 7.31 p.m. on
Wednesday April 3 2024, at the Margery Milne Battin Hall in the Cary Memorial Building, 1605
Massachusetts Avenue and by means of remote participation, a quorum in excess of 100 members was
present (146).
The Moderator opened voting attendance in the Portal. The Moderator gave notice of quorum at 7-33 p.m.
and stated that she would leave the Portal open while more Members came into the Hall.
The Moderator said that they would now hold a Memorial for David Williams.
David Williams passed away on March 1 2024 at the age of 82 in his beloved town of Lexington,
surrounded by his family David was born in Boston in 1941 the eldest son of six children of Edward and
Virginia Williams. At the age of l4, the family moved to Hingham where David attended high school. He
then traveled to Ohio for college, where he met the love of his life, Linda, and after college,they made
Lexington their home.
In 1968, at the age of 27, David was appointed to the Lexington Conservation Commission, and that
marked the beginning of a staggering 55 years of service to Lexington, in a multitude of capacities that
included the Conservation Commission (1968-1988), Planning Board (1989-1993). Zoning Board of
Appeals, Lexington Scholarship Committee, the Dana Home Board and Foundation Board, the Lexington
Center Committee, the Met State Task Force Committee, the Lexington Field and Garden Club (with I
David's gardens in May being noted as legendary), the Lincoln Park Subcommittee of the Recreation
Committee. He was instrumental in establishing the Fitness Path. He was also involved in the Land
Acquisition Subcommittee of the Conservation Commission.
87
David was credited with almost single-handedly enabling the Town's acquisition of some very important
parcels of conservation land, in particular, Chiesa Farm and the Waltham Street Farm. Serving on the
Trustees of Public Trusts, where he served from 1991 up until his passing, David was a visionary, seeking
ways to appropriately use trust funds previously given to the Town and to establish new gifts and trusts
that allowed citizens to contribute land or funds to benefit Lexington s residents now and far into the
future. The Moderator noted that he was also a Town Meeting Member for 50 years and that this was not
the complete list.
The Moderator stated that she had no idea of any of this when she first met him in 1997 She had joined a
group of neighbors and abutters of Hennessey Field who were interested in seeking conservation status for
the property She noted that most of them were new to town government and had a lot to learn and there
were many seasoned town government veterans who were eager to educate them, but David stood out for
three things: 1) his extraordinary knowledge of every inch of conservation and open space land in Town;
2) his complete enthusiasm for Hennessey Field—he could wax poetic about it's many appealing features,
noticing things that they, even though they walked it every day, hadn't noticed; and 3)the very gentle and
deft way he provided support, recommending resources, pointing to other potential advocates, but mostly
acting as a quiet cheerleader in the background, applauding the fledgling volunteer efforts and encouraging
them throughout the process. So unassuming was David that it was only on learning that same year, in
1997 that David had received the White Tricon Hat Award,that the Moderator began to understand how
embedded he was in the entire fabric of the Town and how numerous his contributions were.
Joyce Williams, a long-time Conservation Commission Member, said of David, in support of his
nomination to the Tricorn Hat Award, `there are few who have given more time, energy and thought to
solving community problems and improving the quality of life in Lexington. He has been inspiration in
motiving others to become involved in and contribute to a variety of causes, all of which benefit the people
of Lexington, thus assuring that Lexington continues to be a very special Town. But in addition to his
noted civic activities, he has quietly given support to those in need, providing encouragement, a shoulder
to cry on, counseling, or just listening"
That empathy surely drew in part, from David's experience during a serious battle with cancer in his early
30s. Those around him at that time describe that even while suffering from the effects of chemotherapy, he
continued to attend meetings, never giving excuses,just dealing with the tasks at hand, still displaying
humor and an upbeat attitude.
As his family said, he lived his life with the motto 'Live for the Moment" never taking one day for
granted.
The Moderator noted that some might remember Alice Hinkle, who wrote for the Minuteman newspaper
when it was a source of local news, who wrote an apt description of David's legacy, also in 1997, a legacy
he quietly continued to build until the very end of his life. She said, `David Williams has been dreaming
huge dreams for Lexington and despite obstacles that would be daunting for most of us, he has worked
tirelessly to make those dreams living, breathing parts of this community forever. His courage and
generous sharing of skills and time have changed the face of this Town for the better and enhanced the
lives of all its residents."

88
The Moderator extended deepest sympathies to David's wife of 59 years, Linda, to his daughter Kim and
her husband Eric, his son Todd and wife Nancy and son Trevor and wife Sharon along with 7
grandchildren, his sisters and brother, and their families and asked for a Moment of Silence in his honor
7.39 p.m. The Moderator called a brief Recess so the Select Board could make special Presentation.
Joe Pato. Select Board Chair, asked Kim and Trevor to come forward, and presented them an American
flag, which flew over the Lexington Battle Green, the birthplace of American Liberty and the site of
America s oldest war memorial where the Lexington Minuteman Militia confronted the British Airily on
April 19 1775 in the opening shots of the American Revolution. The flag was flown on March 8`h 2024 in
honor and memory of their father, David G. Williams, for his many years of service and dedication to the
Town of Lexington.
The Moderator said they would stay in Recess for a Presentation from the Town Meeting Member
Association.
T41 p.m. Bridger McGaw, Chair of the Town Meeting Member Association, noted that he would be
honoring Members who had served for 30 years and noted that doing anything for 30 years
takes commitment, grit, focus and sacrifices but volunteering to contribute to the Town,
their community and to serve as a Town Meeting Member also took a lot of heart. Ile then
thanked all of the following Members for their public service: Marian Cohen. Thomas
Fenn, Dawn McKenna, and Irene Dondlcy

April 10. 2024 Adjourned Session of the 2024 Annual Town Mcetin¢
Moderator Deborah Brown called the seventh session of the hybrid 2024 Annual Town Meeting to
order at 7.31 p.m. on Wednesday April 10, at the Margery Milne Battin Hall in the Cary Memorial
Building, 1605 Massachusetts Avenue and by means of remote participation, a quorum in excess of
100 members was present (163).
The Moderator reminded Members participating remotely to mute themselves while on the Portal.
She then explained seating and parliamentary procedure for the evening. The Moderator gave notice
of quorum at 8:28 p.m. and stated that she would leave the Portal open while Mr Pato gave a brief
announcement regarding the School Building Project. After the Moderator noted that a quorum had
been reached, she said that a Memorial for Michelle Goddard would be held.
Michelle passed away on October 12, 2023 after suffering complications from a head injury sustained
when she fell during a run. Michelle served for 6 years in Town Meeting and had always been
inspired by the legacy of her father, William Holmes, who had served in Belmont's Town
government for many years.
When Michelle's husband, Patrick, became a full-time employee of the Town of Lexington as
Director of Facilities, ajob that included nights at Town Meeting, she decided it was time to run for
herself. She did the things you do when you re serious about running for Town Meeting, and in
Precinct 3, that meant presenting your case at the Candidate's Night at Brookhaven and standing with
your sign at Clark Middle School on election day As luck would have it, Tom Fenn was running for
re-election in Precinct 3 and holding his own sign at the same time. Tom had coached Michelle and
Pat's daughter Megan in softball so Tom told everyone who passed by to not only vote for him, but
for Michelle, as well, and that did not hurt her cast at all. In fact, at a Select Board meeting the next
day Jean Krieger asked Pat. "How did your wife get so many votes?"
Michelle was an accountant by profession and was asked to be the TMMA Treasurer She accepted
and enjoyed serving on the Executive Committee, but her favorite TMMA activity was the bus tour
She really loved seeing all the facilities and sites related to the upcoming articles. At Town Meeting
she liked the camaraderie of sitting with her Precinct, and often sat next to Glenn Parker, who she
enjoyed getting to know as they sat together, until he joined the Appropriation Committee and had to
sit most nights, on the stage.
In 2019 Michelle retired from her job as a Comptroller for Liberty Mutual where she had worked for
over 33 years. Retirement gave her more time for her favorite activities, world travel, relaxing at the
beach, and attending Red Sox and Patriot's games with her family Even after she and Pat moved
from Lexington and began splitting their time between Venice, Florida and Rockport, Massachusetts,
she still enjoyed meeting with her Lexington book club.
The Moderator extended her deepest sympathies to Michelle s husband Pat, daughter Megan, son
Michael and his wife Mary, to her siblings, and her many nieces and nephews and asked for a
Moment of Silence in her honor
7 43 p.m. The Moderator asked for a procedural motion to take up Articles 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38
in that order Mr. Pato moved to take up Articles 34 35, 36, 37 and 38. Motion
approved by unanimous voice vote.
The Moderator opened the Meeting under Article 34

ARTICLE 37 IMPORTANCE OF TREES RESOLUTION (Citizen Petition)
MOTION Ms. Pappo moves that the Town adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, trees are one of the best defenses Lexington can have against the growing impacts of
climate change;
WHEREAS, Middlesex County has historically had 8.7 days each year above 90°, but by century's
end we are expected to have 35 such days under a low-to-moderate emissions scenario and 67 days
with business-as-usual emissions;
WHEREAS, heat like this creates health risks for our children, elderly and other vulnerable
populations, and places an enormous energy burden on our cooling systems and will make many
summer outdoor activities unpleasant if not dangerous;
WHEREAS,trees can reduce heating and cooling energy use by 25%or more by shading our homes
in summer and buffering them against wind in winter;
WHEREAS,a tree canopy,through shading and evapotranspiration,can lower summer air
temperatures 4- 6°F and the heat experienced by someone moving from sun to shade by 20°F or
more,the difference between our children playing outside or sitting in an air-conditioned room;
WHEREAS,trees combat climate change both by sequestering carbon directly and by reducing
building energy demands (due to tree shading and windbreak);
WHEREAS, trees mitigate stormwater and flooding impacts by promoting soil infiltration
and intercepting rainfall that then evaporates;
WHEREAS,trees improve air quality through uptake of gaseous pollution via leaf pores and
interception of particulates, and inhibit the formation of smog;
WHEREAS, trees are a foundational part of the ecological communities that surround and sustain
us, providing habitat to countless species of insects, fungi, moss, birds, mammals, and plants, and
serving as critical elements in most food chains;
WHEREAS,trees enhance property values, as suggested by a range of studies that have found
increases of about 3 to 15 percent in residential property values associated with the presence of
trees and vegetation;
WHEREAS, studies have shown that trees provide a wealth of mental health and quality-of-life
benefits, from increased cognitive function to reductions in stress and anxiety, reduced crime, and
even more rapid recovery from surgery;
WHEREAS, shade trees can take 100 years or more to mature and fill the canopy and what is cut
down now may not be regrown in our children's lifetimes; and
120
March 18, 2024 Annual Town Meeting, continued
WHEREAS, the Town's recently adopted Climate Action Plan notes that "increasing tree canopy
overall will enhance community health and resilience by providing natural cooling, reducing
pollution, and mitigating flooding," and sets as a town goal to "protect and expand Lexington's tree

canopy is vital to the quality of life, public health, and sustainability of Lexington and its residents,
workers, and visitors;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town declares that facilitating the growth and maintenance �I
of this canopy including widespread public shade and tree-lined streets, is a goal of the Town and
commits to using its resources and authority in partnership with community members to work
towards this goal with appropriate investment and regulatory measures, while mindful of the need for
balance with other pressing public needs including other town services. housing and solar energy
production;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that to achieve this goal, Town departments and committees arc
called upon to set actionable goals reflecting the magnitude of the need and metrics by which to
measure their progress;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town of Lexington commits to educating our residents
about the importance of trees to our and our children's quality of life; and

p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at the Margery Milne Baffin Hall in the Cary Memorial Building,
1605 Massachusetts Avenue and by means of remote participation, a quorum in excess of 100
members was present(146).
L The Moderator reminded Members participating remotely to mute themselves while on the Portal.
She then explained seating and parliamentary procedure for the evening and asked Members to login
for attendance. The Moderator gave notice of quorum at 7.34 p.m. and stated that she would leave
the Portal open while more Members came into the Hall.
The Moderator noted that they would hold a Memorial for Jane Buckley
Jane Buckley passed on January 27, 2024, at the age of 91 She grew up in Dorchester, graduated
from Dorchester High School,then attended Boston Business School. Jane and her husband, James,
settled in Lexington in 1953, purchasing a house at 46 Middle Street, where they raised their family
The Moderator noted that their daughter, Jackie, and their son, Jeff, were present in the audience that
evening. Their first born, Jay was sadly stricken with leukemia and died at the age of 8.
It was Jane's husband, James, who first ran for Town Meeting serving for 9 years. Jane soon decided
to run, herself. She was first elected in 1971 as a Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member. The Moderator
noted that this was when Lexington only had 6 precincts. She went on to serve for 23 years, first in
precinct 6, and then in precinct 9 when the precincts were increased (1971 1994).
Both James and Jane were concerned with the pace of development in Lexington and advocated for
the preservation of numerous parcels of open space, including the Napoli Family property and
Idlyewilde Farm, a portion of which is permanently preserved as conservation land. Jane was also
appointed to the Capital Expenditures Committee, serving in the early 1980s.
1 Jane s daughter Jackie describes how her mother made it 'her business"to be overprepared as a
Town Meeting Member, fueled in part by her sense that others had more formal education (Jane
didn't have a college degree) and feared others wouldn't take her seriously She would research areas
coming before Town Meeting, talking with the people who would be impacted, and practicing her
planned remarks. She wasn't a frequent speaker at Town Meeting, but when she did speak, she was
well prepared. She earned the respect of her Town Meeting peers because of her diligent preparation,
certainly, but also for her positive collegial approach. She brought that same approach to her work on
the Lexington Field and Garden Club. Her biggest Garden Club project each year was decorating
Buckman Tavern and Cary Library for Christmas, and she spent weeks preparing,researching,
collecting plants and materials that would be historically accurate. Years later, she made good on her
life-long dream to get a college degree at the age of 70 she graduated from Regis College with a BA
in English Literature.
Jeff described their mother as someone who was kind, full of fun, and very social. She was famous
for her daily 2 to 3-mile walks, no matter the weather, greeting everyone and their pets with cheer
She and James were the parents who showed up at every hockey game and every baseball game—
Jane with her %2 gallon of lemonade and donuts for the team. She was beloved among Jeff's friends,
who continued to visit his parents, even after he went away to college.
Jeff shared one anecdote about his mother that captured her sense of humor and quite a mischievous
streak. James and Jane loved to sail and had a boat in Marblehead. Once, sailing in the outer harbor
they came upon a naval destroyer anchored there. Jane insisted that she wanted to get up close to see
it, and when James obliged, she jumped onto the gangway, saluted the flag and the lieutenant on deck,
and called out"permission to come onboard, sir" The lieutenant was so flabbergasted that he
allowed it, and Jane and the kids got to tour the ship.
The Moderator extended deepest sympathies to Jane s daughter, Jackie Buckley and her spouse Dawn
Ridge, her son, Jeff, and her 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, her many nieces and
nephews, and noted Jane's husband of 63 years passed away in 2016. She then asked Members to
observe a Moment of Silence in Jane's memory

c.40, § 21D as specified in Section 1-6(B)of the Code of the Town of Lexington. Any such fines shall be
paid to the Town of Lexington.
§81-19. Suspension of the Bylaw

may continue this Bylaw in force or may suspend it permanently or for such length of time as they may
determine.
Tom Wanderer presented information on the Article.
Recommendations:
Mr Hai stated that while the Article aligns with sustainability goals and long term vision for the
Select Board, there were a few concerns with the impact of the Article. There were not currently
enough hydration stations throughout Town to ensure access to all visitors or residents who might
require drinking water outside of a restaurant setting, and those that were around are not available
year-round due to freezing hazards which could result in burst pipes. She noted that the Select Board
had voted 2-3 opposed to the Article.
Ms. Arens noted that the Sustainable Lexington Committee supported the Article and had reaffirmed
that at their most recent meeting.
Mr McGaw stated that although the Economic Development Advisory Committee appreciates the
importance the need to reduce plastic in the environment, but they had recommended that the Select
Board not support the Article at this time, but if it was a new priority for them, it was suggested that
the Sustainability Officer be directed to look at other communities of Lexington s size and how this
issue was being handled and managed at the local level. He noted that the Committee also
recommended a close review of the feasibility of local businesses implementing it and the potential
negative impact on residents and visitor with regards to access to water The Committee had
unanimously approved this position 6/0.
