Special Training and/or Qualifications
I am a long-time resident of Lexington, grew up and attended public schools here, and
returned to raise my three children who attend LPS. I have an MBA, strong project
management and communication skills. I have worked in architecture and design-build firms
in town. I volunteered at several LPS schools in various capacities as explained below. I feel
very passionately about Lexington and the vibrancy of Lexington Center for all town
inhabitants and visitors!
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
My connection to Lexington started in 1983 when, as a 10-year-old, my family attended
Discovery Day, then held at the Depot where lobster was served and music bands played. My
family fell in love with Lexington on that day, and every day since, three generations of our
family lives in Lexington. I attended Fiske Elementary, Diamond Middle School and LHS. I
have always loved the diversity, intelligence, kindness and care that Lexington residents
displayed. Lexington is a unique town that celebrates both a rich history of freedom and an
optimistic vision for a brighter future that celebrates those freedoms with diversity and
opportunity. After completing my undergraduate degree and an MBA, living in Boston, NYC
and Israel, I chose to return to Lexington to raise my three children. And what an honor and
privilege it has been! My children attended Fiske, Harrington, Hastings, Diamond, Clarke and
LHS. My family benefited from the superb Lexington schools and special needs programs.
During those years, I volunteered in many capacities and for many years in the schools
including as an Executive on the PTO, Metco Coordinator, Big Backyard Coordinator,
Graduation Coordinator, Room Parent and soccer coach at LUSC. I also served as Board
President for the Israeli School of Lexington for several years where I led strategic and
tactical activities impacting countless families. Lexington is and always has been my home! I
care deeply about our town, our center, our businesses, and our residents. I believe I can
contribute my passion and enthusiasm, as well as my strategic planning, organizational, and
team-building talents, to any position in Lexington.

Special Training and/or Qualifications
As a data scientist with almost 15 years of experience, I would use a data-driven approach to
help make decisions or recommendations to the Vision for Lexington committee. My work
experience has involved finding the best way to develop systems, sites, and, currently,
pursue scientific research. I have developed expertise in identifying or developing, if none
are available, the tools that the staff I support need to conduct their own analyses.
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
My parents and I moved to Lexington in 1992. I was 11 years old at the time and, as a
teenager, I thought it was just a sleepy town that lacked the excitement of the city (Boston!
New York City!). It wasn’t until I grew up, went off to college, had a family of my own, and
moved back did I realize what an amazing place Lexington is and can continue to be. Our
daughter was born March 2020 in Portland, Oregon. My wife and I had moved to Portland
several years prior (before we had ever thought about having children). It was exciting to
live in a new place and we loved the natural environment out there. After our daughter was
born, we started to think seriously about where we wanted her to grow up and, like many
people during the pandemic, we started to reconsider where we wanted to live. We knew
that Portland and the state of Oregon offered many positives, but there were also many
negatives (lesser quality schools, wildfires, impending earthquake…). As we were deciding to
sell our Portland home and to move across the country again, my parents asked us to come
back to Lexington to stay at their house while they were going to be overseas for more than
a year. Almost immediately after we moved here, my wife, Ravneet, and our 4-year old
daughter, Nanu, found a wonderful community of friends and felt perfectly at home.
Lexington has changed a lot over the past three decades that my parents have been here
and I’ve realized now that there are so many characteristics that make it truly special: the
town is family-friendly, has conserved its natural beauty and even complemented it with
numerous hiking/walking trails, and is community-oriented (we’ve met so many friends, new
and old, at the library and the community garden, where we’ve had a plot for going on two
years now). I wasn’t aware of the Vision for Lexington Committee until I recently signed up
for the Link to Lexington newsletter (and found out about the opportunity to apply). I am
applying for the Vision for Lexington Committee because, although I grew up here, I have
seen how much the town has changed for the better and I want to help contribute to it’s
future and help it continue to be a truly amazing place.

Dear Chairman Lucente,
It has been a true honor to serve as Vice Chair of the Economic Development Advisory
Committee and to contribute to the long-term strength and prosperity of our beloved town.
Lexington’s proud history as the birthplace of American liberty is matched by its spirit of
innovation and community, and I am grateful to have played a part in advancing that legacy.
At this time, I respectfully tender my resignation from the Economic Development Advisory
Committee, effective May 12, 2025. During my time on the Committee, I have been privileged to
support and advise on options to strengthen Lexington’s commercial base, increase commercial
tax revenue opportunities, align our sustainability agenda with development goals, help
implement our Comprehensive Plan, and enhance the environment for small businesses to open
and thrive in Lexington Center and around town. I am proud of the progress we have made to
sustain economic vitality while preserving the character of our community.
I remain deeply committed to Lexington’s continued success and am confident that the
Committee and the Select Board will continue to champion policies that drive thoughtful
commercial growth, support local entrepreneurs, and balance opportunity with the vital role our
community plays in our nation’s history.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
With gratitude and respect,
Bridger E. McGaw

Market Agreement, with the LFM covered under the town’s music licenses with BMI,
SESAC and ASCAP.

a one time $75 Entertainment License Fee for all summer market dates in 2025.

SUBJECT: FY2025, 3rd Quarter Budget Status Report
Summary
This report provides 3rd quarter FY2025 analysis of Budget to Year-to-Date revenues and expenditures
as of March 31, 2025 for the General, Enterprise and Revolving Funds. The General Fund accounts for
the Town’s annual operating budget. Water, sewer and recreation/community programs are reflected in
the Enterprise Funds. Revolving funds are self-supporting operations for a specific task or program.
For the purpose of analysis, it is assumed that as of the 3rd quarter, 75% of estimated revenues should
have been collected, and that departments will have similarly spent 75% of their appropriation.
In general, both expenditures and revenues are in line with management's expectations as of the end of
the 3rd quarter of FY2025. A detailed breakdown of revenue collections can be found on pages 8-11,
with expenditures on pages 12-23. The summary table below indicates the total activity for these items:

FY2025, Quarter 3 Budget Status Report 1
General Fund Revenue Collections
Revenue collections were largely in line with estimates. As of March 31, 2025, 77.67% or $227,879,421
of total estimated revenue for FY2025 ($293,384,443) had been collected. The majority of revenue
(86.9%) is received from Property Tax receipts, which are currently at 74.93% of budgeted levels. This is
generally in line with overall collections from prior years.
In addition, a total of $17,178 has been received from Supplemental Tax Billing. This amount is captured
in Misc. Non-Recurring Revenue in the table below.

FY2025, Quarter 3 Budget Status Report 2
Explanation of Significant Variances
1.Other Excise - This revenue stream reflects meals, jet fuel and hotel/motel local option excise tax
collections. In the FY2025 budget, staff assumed a conservative forecast, using the three-year
average of revenue collected. Actual collections have been higher than forecasted. Further detail can
be found in the Revenue Report (page 8).
2.Penalties and Interest - Interest paid due to Tax Liens.
3.Rentals of Town Buildings - The Town receives payments for outdoor dining permits on town
sidewalks, as well as lease payments for town-owned properties.
4.Departmental - School - The Town continues to receive quarterly reimbursement for provision of
Medicaid-covered direct services in Lexington Public Schools.
5.Departmental - Municipal - Ambulance fee revenue remains high as call volume has increased.
Planning board filing and review fees increased due to a high number of residential development
applications during the year. Net metering credit revenue exceeded projections due to higher than
expected energy production by Town-owned solar panels. Cemetery interest allocated from trust
accounts exceeded projections.
6.Licenses & Permits - Activity for Building Permits remains strong, with several projects contributing to
the higher-than-forecasted revenue, including a $1.5 million permit pulled for the multifamily
residential project at 17 Hartwell Avenue. Continued revenues will be dependent on timing of activity
in the market. The number of health department permits issued has increased due to a growing
number of community events requiring food inspections.
7.Special Assessments include amounts paid in advance for street betterments when a property is sold
or refinanced. Revenues exceeded budget due to advanced payoffs.
8.Fines and Forfeitures is primarily made up of parking fines. Activity has increased as both parking
volume and enforcement activities have ramped up following the conclusion of the Center
Streetscape project.
9.Investment Income continues to reflect high interest rates. Investment income has exceeded
projections due to market conditions.
10.Misc. Non-Recurring Revenue is not budgeted due to the one-time nature of the revenue received.
General Fund Expenditures
As of March 31, 2025, 67.34% of the FY2025 General Fund budget of $264,253,248 has been expended
and 71.69% has been expended or encumbered. Expenditures represent actual payments made for
goods and services and encumbrances are reservations of budgets for goods or services ordered but not
paid in FY2025.
A breakdown of the General Fund Operating Budget is shown below:
Summary of Operating Expenditures - General Fund
(A)(B)(C)(D)(B+C)/A (B/A)

FY2025, Quarter 3 Budget Status Report 3
Explanation of Significant Variances -
1.Education - Education is heavily weighted (86.0%) towards personal services. The majority of staff
begin in late August and work through June. As a result, personal service spending does not follow
the expectation for 75% spent. As of March 31st, 16 of 26 paychecks had been issued (61%), and
personal services spending is at 63.77% of budgeted levels.
2.The largest Shared Service item is employee health benefits, for which the Town submits premiums
to the Group Insurance Commission one month in arrears. In addition, the majority of debt service is
paid in February.
3.Municipal - Municipal department spending is largely in line with expectations. Finance is monitoring
end-of-year projections, making note of the following circumstances:
a.Several staffing changes necessitated an increase in personal services expenditures to cover
additional staffing hours for injured on duty leave, staff overlaps for training replacements,
vacation buybacks, and individuals acting out-of-grade.
b.Property & Liability Insurance costs are outpacing budget this year; the FY2026 budget
addresses this trend.
c.The Library union contract was not settled when the FY2025 budget was published; staff are
monitoring personal services expenditures to determine if an end-of-year budget adjustment
will be required to accommodate the contract.
d.The Comptroller's Office pays phone bills for all Town mobile devices; expenses need to be
distributed to individual departments through an end-of-year reclass.

Summer 2024 Review and Looking Forward to 2025
Since its founding in 2005, the Lexington Farmers’ Market has grown to include three dis nct
markets held throughout the year: the regular season market (2005), the Thanksgiving
FEASTival (2010) and the Small Yet Mighty Winter Market (2016), all with a commitment to
locally-grown, produced and cra ed food.
This summary includes highlights from the 2024 LFM regular season market and Thanksgiving
FEASTival, the 2024 Winter Market, and follows with plans for the 2025 season. A more
complete report on the 2024 markets can be found star ng on page 4.
Highlights from the 2024 Summer Market and Thanksgiving FEASTival
In 2024 the LFM was held at Worthen Road Prac ce Field, connec ng farmers & vendors with
dedicated customers shopping for healthy, local food in a welcoming outdoor space.
● LOCATION: The LFM was held at the Worthen Road Prac ce Field for the fourth year,
with mostly posi ve feedback from farmers, vendors and customers on the site. The
DPW and Lexington Police worked on issues related to ADA accessibility and parking
at the site, and we adapted the market map around the new LHS track and field cage
installed before the season. Customers are asking when the LFM will move back to
Fletcher Park, and we con nue to share updates on the use of the site, projects to be
completed and ongoing discussions with the town. We are extremely grateful for the
con nued support from the Town of Lexington for the use of the site and assistance
with parking and logis cs.
● FARMERS & VENDORS : On average 23 farmers and vendors par cipated each week,
with a total of 33 farmers and vendors par cipa ng in the season. The LFM welcomed
nine new specialty food vendors and con nued to priori ze food producers from
Lexington and surrounding communi es, including 6 Lexington residents who farm or
own specialty food businesses.
● COMMUNITY GROUPS: The LFM’s Community Tent welcomed 18 different local
nonprofits, including departments from the Town of Lexington, with all groups either
based in Lexington and/or serving the Lexington community.
● POP CLUB : The LFM launched a new program called POP Club (The Power of Produce)
to introduce children ages 5-12 to healthy ea ng. Focused on fruits and vegetables,
par cipants received $2 each week to spend solely on produce at LFM farms. The
program ran a total of 17 markets, from the beginning of July through the rest of the
regular season and was a great success, with 148 kids signing up and 468 kid visits
throughout the season. This program was par ally funded by a grant from Farm Credit
East.
● ATTENDANCE : On average the LFM would see 650 visitors per market, a consistently
steady turnout and a higher number than last year. At the LFM’s 20th birthday
celebra on, almost 1,000 visitors came to hear from local officials, enjoy games and
1
fes vi es, and eat delicious cake! This year’s weather was much drier than 2023;
though there were extremely hot days, there were fewer than last year’s rainy
Tuesdays.
● VOLUNTEERS: More than twenty volunteers dedicated their me and hard work
behind the scenes and on market days to create a posi ve market shopping
experience. This number includes five board members, as well as partnerships with
Lexington High School (students seeking community service), Tharros House (a local
sober living community), and individual community members.
● FOOD ASSISTANCE: The LFM par cipates in two programs offering food assistance at
farmers’ markets: federal Supplemental Food Assistance Program (SNAP) and the
statewide Healthy Incen ves Program (HIP). In 2025, the total amount of food
assistance dollars spent at the LFM was $61,618, providing healthy, local food to those
in need as well as vital financial support for local farms and small businesses. The LFM
also con nued a valuable partnership with Food Link, a local organiza on that r escues
and distributes high-quality food to under-resourced communi es. Over the full
season and FEASTival, thanks to the generosity of LFM farms and vendors more than
5,000 pounds of produce and 120 bags of bread and baked goods were rescued and
redistributed to communi es in need.
● SNAP MATCH: The LFM welcomed an average of 38 households accessing SNAP
benefits each week. Throughout the three market seasons, the LFM provided $15,964
in matching funds accessing the LFM’s SNAP Match program, which provides up to $15
extra per eligible customer each market. Thanks to community outreach and privately
raised funds, the LFM con nued to support individuals and families in need of food
assistance in Lexington and surrounding towns. Overall, $32,264 in SNAP dollars was
spent at the market by customers using food assistance in 2024. Scroll down below for
more informa on on the Healthy Incen ve Program.
● FOOD RESCUE : The LFM established a new partnership with Food Link, a local
organiza on that r escues and distributes high-quality food to under-resourced
communi es. Thanks to the generosity of LFM farms and vendors, this program
resulted in more than 1,800 pounds of produce and 30 bags of bread and baked goods
rescued in the last six weeks of the market for those in need .
● For more details, the Full 2024 Year in Review Summary starts on page 4 following the
Report on upcoming 2025 Season
Looking Forward to the 2025 Summer Season
The LFM runs from May 27 to October 28 at the Worthen Road Prac ce Field for a total of 23
weeks . Overall, the LFM will host 36 farmers and fine food vendors par cipa ng weekly,
biweekly, or as occasional guest vendors. Each week, the community can expect an average of
24 farmers and vendors, two ar sans, and live entertainment at most markets.

The LFM has built longstanding rela onships with local farms bringing fresh produce, seafood,
beef, pork, poultry, lamb, eggs and cheese to the market. Responding to customer interest,
LFM 2025 is also featuring a selec on of ready-to-eat prepared foods from specialty food
businesses, including Ovenbird Cafe, Captain Marden’s Seafood, Del Sur Empanadas, Tex Mex
Eats, Crêpe du Jour, Bombay Brunch, Del’s Coffee Roasters and more..
New this year!
● The LFM is excited to welcome Drew Maggiore, Lexington resident and former LFM
food vendor, as the LFM’s new Market Manager. He is thrilled to take the helm of the
LFM and collaborate with the Town in crea ve ways to offer the community a great
market experience, and assistance where needed.
● The LFM is welcoming eight new vendors this year, including a new flower farm, fresh
pasta and sauces, a plant-based ice cream maker, chai drinks, microgreens,
handcra ed Indian sweets and a baker offering tradi onal jewish baked goods with a
modern twist
● A grant from the Lexington Council on the Arts will allow the LFM to pay a small
s pend to musicians who bring their talents to the market and contribute to a
welcoming environment.
Needs Going Forward
● Due to cuts in food assistance on a state and poten ally federal level, 2025 may end
up being a vola le year for SNAP demand. We will con nue to work to find ways to
increase the LFM’s SNAP match program and other innova ve ways to support
customers spending their food assistance for nutri ous local food. The LFM is grateful
for a Food Insecurity Grant from the Community Founda on for Metrowest to help us
meet the needs of customers facing food insecurity.
● We are very grateful to the Town of Lexington Office of Communica ons for their help
in sharing market news through Town communica on channels. We ask the Select
Board and the community at large to con nue to spread the word to their
connec ons, both online and in person.
● The LFM will con nue working with the DPW to maintain a safe market space and

FULL YEAR IN REVIEW: Regular Season & Thanksgiving FEASTival 2024,
Winter Market 2024
✱ REGULAR SEASON MARKET (22 weeks)
Worthen Road Prac ce Field, Every Tuesday, May 28 to October 29
Last season’s LFM regular season market Opening Day included members of the Select Board
and sponsors ringing the opening bell, crowd favorite the William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum
Corps kicking off the start of the season. In 2024, the LFM hosted 33 farmers and vendors,
including 9 farmers and vendors new to the LFM. The LFM hosted 18 local community groups
at the market, an addi onal 10 on Sustainability Day, and 16 ar sans over the course of the
season.
Farmers and Vendors
● Lexington residents: six Lexington farmers/vendors came from Lexington
● Distance traveled: the food sold at the market traveled an average of less than 30
miles from the farm/kitchen where it was produced, shortening a food supply chain
already under stress. Most food eaten in the US has traveled nearly 1,500 miles from
where it is produced to where it is sold.
● Over 500 acres of diversified farmland in New England was kept in produc on by
farms selling at the LFM.
● As is common in the late summer, staffing challenges resulted in some vendors exi ng
later in the season.
Ar sans, Nonprofits, and Entertainment
In 2024, the LFM hosted 18 local community groups at the market. Community groups
a ending the LFM are all nonprofits that are Lexington-based and/or serve the Lexington
community and share informa on about their work and available programs. This past year,
groups included the Friends of Lexington Bikeways who host a monthly Bike to Market event
throughout the season, the Lexington Observer, LFM partner Food Link, Lexington at Home
and the Town of Lexington Communica ons Dept., Public Health Department and Office of
Sustainability and Resilience.
Over 19 ar sans a ended the 2024 market with all items cra ed by the talented ar sans. In
addi on, 16 different musicians/musical groups volunteered to entertain the market
community.
Events
The LFM hosted three main special events:
● LFM’s 20th Birthday Celebra on combined with Na onal Farmers’ Market Week : held
on the first week of August, the event included state and town officials, kids ac vi es,
proclama ons, and even birthday cake. This event had the highest a endance all
year, with over 1,000 market visitors!
● LFM Sustainability Day in mid September was held in partnership with the Town’s
Office of Sustainability, twelve community organiza ons, the Lexington Select Board,
and local community members. This annual event shared local strategies and
opportuni es available for Lexington residents with groups including LexCAN, Black
4
Earth Compost, Lexington Living Landscapes, TechCycle Solu ons, and the Town of
Lexington Tree Commi ee, and highlighted how local food is an essen al component
for sustainable communi es.
● Fall Fes val in late October highlighted fall foods and the autumn harvest, and
offered fun food and educa onal ac vi es. Games such as vegetable races, cornhole
and cra s including pumpkin decora ng made for a fes ve family fun day with
enthusias c shoppers joining in.
Customer Base
The LFM experienced great support from the community looking to support local food and
farms. LFM customers in 2024 represented a diverse cross sec on of our community, with
both long me loyal visitors and those new to the market. An important LFM goal is to
celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of our greater community, and the LFM con nues to see
that reflected in our weekly customer base.
● The number of weekly visitors using SNAP was slightly lower in 2024 for the first me
since 2019.
● The LFM con nues to work with community members and Lexington High School
volunteers to provide valuable transla on services and assist shoppers in their
primary language.
✱ WINTER MARKET 2024
The Waldorf School, every other Saturday from January to mid-April (8 markets)
In its ninth season, the Small Yet Mighty Winter Market was held for the eighth year at the
Waldorf School in Lexington from 11 -2 PM. The LFM is extremely grateful to the Waldorf
School for their generosity and coopera on.
The Winter Market hosted 14 farmers and vendors throughout the winter season, with almost
all coming from the LFM’s regular summer market. We welcomed four new vendors this
season.
● The market averaged 125 customers per week. Customers were grateful to
have an opportunity to visit their favorite LFM farmers and vendors and have
access to local, healthy food in the winter season.
● Vendors reported strong sales and support for a biweekly winter market that
helps them maintain strong connec ons with the LFM customers and
Lexington community.
✱ THANKSGIVING FEASTIVAL 2024
Worthen Road Prac ce Field, Tuesday before Thanksgiving
This was the LFM’s 14th annual Thanksgiving market. Some highlights include:
● The 2024 LFM Thanksgiving FEASTival was held outdoors at the Worthen Road Prac ce
Field, the site of the regular season market, and loyal customers showed up despite
cold and blustery weather.
● The FEASTival welcomed 23 farmers and vendors from the regular market season,
capping off a great 2024 season.

FOOD ASSISTANCE: SNAP (Supplemental Nutri on Assistance Program) and HIP (Healthy
Incen ves Program)
The LFM par cipates in two programs offering food assistance at farmers’ markets: federal
Supplemental Food Assistance Program (SNAP) and the statewide Healthy Incen ves Program
(HIP). In 2024, the total amount of food assistance dollars spent at the LFM was $61,618,
providing healthy, local food to those in need as well as vital financial support for local farms
and small businesses.
SNAP : $32,264 in SNAP coupon was issued to customers accessing food assistance in 2024 for
use at the Lexington Farmers’ Market. This total amount includes the LFM’s $15 weekly SNAP
Match.
● For the 14th year, the LFM offered a SNAP Match program enabling customers using
SNAP to double the amount of their purchase up to $15 weekly at all seasonal
markets. This program is supported by individual donors from the community, grants,
and annual fundraisers.
● Between the winter, summer, and Thanksgiving FEASTival market season, the LFM
provided $15,964 matching funds through the LFM’s SNAP Match Program.
● The highest percentage of SNAP dollars were spent on meat (including poultry, pork
and eggs), seafood and produce.
● The LFM is grateful to individuals in the LFM community for their financial support of
the LFM’s SNAP Match program, helping to ensure every individual has equal access
to healthy, high-quality food.
HIP : In addi on to the LFM’s SNAP Match Program, all farmers at the LFM are cer fied to
par cipate in the Healthy Incen ves Program (HIP), a statewide program enabling customers
using food assistance to purchase fruits and vegetables from farmers’ markets, farm stands,
and CSA’s. In 2024, $29,354 in HIP was spent at LFM farms.

RE: School Zone on Worthen Road for the High School
Requested Action:
Vote to amend §192-70 Twenty-mile-per-hour school zones to add a 20 MPH school zone on
Worthen Road for the High School.
School Street Limits Time
High School Worthen Road Between 1 Bushnell Drive and
approximately 0.4 miles NW
on Worthen Road
7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday
Background
In response to comments made by the Bicycle Advisory Committee as part of its overall safety
improvement requests for Worthen Road, the Transportation Safety Group (TSG) recommends that
the Select Board amend the Traffic Rules and Orders Chapter 192-70 Twenty-mile-per-hour school
zones to add a 20 MPH School Zone on Worthen Road. The TSG recommends location of the school
zone as shown on the attached plan, however the final location of the school zone is subject to change
during MassDOT review of the proposal. If the location of the school zone changes, staff will return
to the Select Board for further review and approval.
For a school zone to be established, all the following conditions shall be met:
A. The facility is a school
B. Children walk or bike to or from the school and are expected to cross or enter the roadway
where the school zone is proposed
C. The school facility of municipality provides a plan showing the routes that students will use to
walk and/or bike to the school and shows the limits of the proposed school zone
D. The municipality provides written documentation of their support and/or approval of the school
zone.
If the Select Board votes to amend §192-70, staff request the Town Manager and/or the Select Board
provide written documentation of the school zone approval. This memo will be provided to
MassDOT and signage will be installed. Christopher Barry, Police Captain of Operations,
recommends advance signage in both directions to notify the public of the new speed regulation.
Staff recommend the school administration notify parents, students and employees of the speed
regulation through various channels.
If the Select Board does not vote to amend §192-70, the Transportation Safety Group will discuss
further and amend the request as necessary.
Guidance of School Zones:
Guidance: 07A the beginning point of a reduced school speed limit zone should be at least 200 feet in
advance of the school grounds, a school crossing, or other school related activities
Standard: 07B Where a reduced school speed limit zone is within the limits of a Special Speed
Regulation, the beginning of the reduced school speed limit zone shall be not less than 850 feet in
advance of the school grounds in rural areas and 500 feet or one block, whichever is less, in urban
areas.
Guidance: 07C the maximum length of a reduced school speed limit zone should be ¼ mile or the total
length of the school grounds frontage plus the advanced distances described in Paragraphs 07A and
07B, whichever is greater.
Support: 07D the school zone length should be kept as short as possible while including the section of
roadway in the vicinity of the school property that school children will be entering or crossing. The
effectiveness of the school zone speed limit may be reduced the further it is located from the school.
09B The School Speed Limit shall only be in effect during days and times when school children would
be entering or crossing the roadway on foot or on bicycle.
Guidance: 09C If used, the School Speed Limit hours of operation should be one of the following:
A. Between a set of core hours, such as 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, inclusive.
B. Two ranges of times within the core hours that coincide with typical arrival and dismissal periods,
such as 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
09D Terms that are vague or may be unfamiliar to all roadway users, such as “SCHOOL DAYS,”
“WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION,” or “WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT,” should not be used.

SELECT BOARD POLICY
Town Meeting Warrant Article Submission Timeline Policy
Date Approved by Select Board: Signature of Chair:
______________________________ ______________________________
I. PURPOSE & SCOPE
Establish a standardized timeline and procedures for developing and submitting warrant articles for Town
Meeting.
Ensure clarity, consistency, and accountability among boards, committees, and Town departments for Annual
Town Meeting (ATM) and Special Town Meetings (STM).
The Select Board has final authority to determine which articles are placed on the warrant. No proposal is
guaranteed placement without an affirmative Select Board vote.
Nothing in this policy precludes any proponent from pursuing a citizen petition article as an alternative path
if the Select Board declines to sponsor a proposal.
II. ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT ARTICLE TIMELINE & PROCESS
(Typical schedule for a spring Annual Town Meeting)
A.Preliminary Article Planning (Late Summer): By the last business day in August, all boards and
committees shall identify any articles under consideration and notify both the Deputy Town Manager as well
as their assigned Select Board liaison. Drafting of article ideas should begin at this stage to ensure readiness
for fall review.
B.Concept Presentation (Mid-September): By the second week of September, all proponents must be
prepared to present draft article concepts to the Select Board at a scheduled public meeting. The purpose of
this presentation is to receive early feedback from the Select Board on the proposed direction, scope, and
readiness of the article. Presentations shall include a clear summary of the issue, the proposed action, the
rationale, the intended article sponsor, and anticipated consultation or outreach needed.
C.Warrant Opening (November): The Select Board officially opens the ATM warrant by vote (typically
around early to mid-November). This serves as public notice that article submissions are being accepted.
D.Board/Committee/Town Department Article Deadline (Late November): Town boards, committees, and
departments must submit final versions of all proposed warrant articles by the last week in November.
Submissions must incorporate any preliminary feedback from the Select Board and be complete with all
required content outlined in Section IV. Articles must be emailed to the Deputy Town Manager by the
deadline. Late or incomplete submissions will not be considered for inclusion.
E.Select Board Review and Determination (Early-December): During the first week of December, the
Select Board shall hold a public meeting to review all warrant article submissions from boards, committees,
and departments. The Board will evaluate each article for completeness, readiness, alignment with Town
goals, and overall suitability for inclusion in the Warrant. This review may include requests for clarification,
revisions, or consolidation of similar proposals. Articles not approved for inclusion may still be pursued
through a citizen petition, subject to the petition deadline.
F.Citizen Petition Deadline (Mid-December): All citizen petition articles for the Annual Town Meeting must
be submitted to the Select Board Office no later than mid-December, typically 6–7 weeks after the warrant
opens. The exact date and time will be publicly posted by the Select Board each year. Petitions must include
at least ten (10) original signatures from registered Lexington voters and be certified by the Town Clerk.
Petition forms are available from the Town Clerk’s Office and must be submitted in hard copy by the stated
deadline. This deadline also serves as the final opportunity to place an article on the Warrant by right.
G.Article Finalization (Mid-January): By mid-January, all article language and draft motions are finalized.
Proponents shall coordinate through the Town Manager’s Office to work with Town Counsel to refine
wording and ensure legality. Any presentation materials (e.g. background slides or explanatory videos)
should be completed at this stage.
H.Warrant Finalization (Late January): The Select Board votes to close the warrant and approve the final
list and order of ATM articles (typically late January). The final Warrant is then published and posted per
legal requirements.
I.Pre-Town Meeting Review (February – Early March): In the weeks before Town Meeting, article
proponents may be asked to present their articles to the Select Board and relevant committees (e.g.
Appropriation Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee). The Select Board and other committees will
review and often vote on recommendations for each article during this period.
J.Town Meeting Convenes (Late March): The Annual Town Meeting begins on the date set in the Warrant
(usually the 3rd or 4th Monday in March, after the Annual Town Election typically held on the first Monday
in March). Town Meeting Members debate and vote on all Warrant articles in one or more sessions until all
business is concluded.
III. SPECIAL TOWN MEETINGS (STM)
A.Calling a Special Town Meeting: A Special Town Meeting (STM) may be called by the Select Board at
any point in the year, but only for matters deemed urgent, time-sensitive, or exceptional in nature. STMs are
not intended for routine or non-critical articles. The Select Board shall determine if an issue necessitates a
Special Town Meeting and will set the warrant opening and closing dates accordingly, providing as much
notice as feasible.
B.Compressed Timeline: Because STMs are convened only for specific, non-routine purposes, the article
submission process will follow a significantly accelerated timeline. The period between warrant opening and
closing may be as short as one week. Proponents must be prepared to act quickly and ensure article
development, legal review, and committee coordination are completed within this condensed schedule.
C.Citizen Petition Requirements: Citizen petitions for STMs require at least one hundred (100) signatures
from registered Lexington voters, or 10% of the Town's registered voters, whichever is fewer. Signed
originals must be submitted to the Select Board Office by the posted deadline. Due to the accelerated timeline,
petitioners are strongly encouraged to begin early and coordinate with Town staff as needed.
D.Citizen Petition Requirements – Unscheduled Special Town Meetings: Citizen petitions to call an
unscheduled Special Town Meeting require at least two hundred (200) signatures from registered Lexington
voters, or 20% of the Town's registered voters, whichever is fewer. Signed originals must be submitted to
the Select Board Office by the posted deadline. Due to the accelerated timeline, petitioners are strongly
encouraged to begin early and coordinate with Town staff as needed.
E.Content & Coordination: All STM article submissions must meet the same content and formatting
standards as Annual Town Meeting articles (see Section IV) and follow the same coordination expectations
(see Section V). Proponents must work with the Town Manager’s Office, Town Counsel, and relevant boards
or committees as early as possible to ensure readiness.
IV. WARRANT ARTICLE SUBMISSION CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
Each proposed warrant article submission must include the following information:
o Title: A concise title or description of the article subject.
o Draft Motion: Proposed motion text to be moved under the article at Town Meeting (what action
Town Meeting is being asked to take).
o Summary: A brief summary explaining the article’s purpose and background.
o Goal Alignment: A statement of how the article aligns with adopted Town goals or policies (if
applicable).
o Outreach & Support: Description of any community outreach undertaken and evidence of support
(for example, endorsements from committees or community groups, or the vote of the sponsoring
board).
o Funding Info (if applicable): For articles involving Town funds or budget impacts, an initial
estimate of costs or funding sources and any relevant financial analysis.
V. COORDINATION AND REVIEW
A.Legal Review: All article language submitted by boards, committees, and Town departments will be
coordinated through the Town Manager’s Office for review by Town Counsel as needed. Access to legal
review for citizen petitioners is not guaranteed and may be limited. Petitioners are encouraged to seek
independent legal guidance or consult the Town Clerk’s Office for procedural assistance.
B.Financial Consultation: If an article has financial or budget implications (e.g. appropriations, capital
projects), the proponent is required to consult with the Town’s finance officials and committees. Proponents
should engage the Finance Department, Appropriation Committee (Finance Committee), and Capital
Expenditures Committee early to review costs, funding options, and impacts on Town finances.
C.Board/Committee Input: Coordinate with any boards or committees related to the article’s subject matter.
Proponents should brief and seek input from those bodies to ensure awareness and address any concerns or
overlapping issues. (For example, a zoning article might be coordinated with the Planning Board; a general
bylaw change might involve multiple committees.)
D.Select Board Liaison: If a Select Board member is assigned as a liaison to the proponent’s committee or
issue area, inform that liaison early in the process. Regular communication with the liaison is encouraged,
especially for complex or potentially controversial articles.
E.Town Manager’s Office Support: The Town Manager or Deputy Town Manager will assist in coordinating
reviews and meetings as needed. All final article texts and motions will be compiled by the Town Manager’s
Office for inclusion in the Warrant.
VI. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
A.Town Board/Committee/Town Department Submissions: Boards, committees, and Town departments
(through their overseeing board or the Town Manager) must submit articles by emailing all materials to the
Deputy Town Manager by the announced deadline. The email should include the required content (Section
IV) in an attachment or body. The sponsoring board or committee should vote to approve the article before
submission, and that vote or an endorsement letter should be included as evidence of support.
B.Citizen Petition Submissions: Petitioners must obtain an official petition form from the Town Clerk and
collect at least 10 signatures for an ATM or at least 100 for an STM from registered Lexington voters, or 200
to call an unscheduled Special Town Meeting. All signatures must be original ink. Completed forms must be
submitted to the Select Board Office by the deadline for certification. Petitioners are encouraged to email the
article text and draft motion to the Deputy Town Manager and consult the Town Clerk’s Office for assistance
with formatting and process. Legal review by Town Counsel is not routinely available for citizen petitions.
See the Town Clerk’s Office for full petition instructions and requirements.
