meeting utilized virtual meeting technology,including Zoom and a web-based portal,
and that participants were logged in from a variety of remote locations,including their
homes,the Select Board Office,and for the first time,approximately 2 dozen Members
in Baffin Hall. The Moderator then explained how members of the public could provide
statements for or against an Article either online,or by coming to the area in the balcony
of Battin Hall reserved for the public. She then asked that Sean Dugan,Director of
Communications,check the public microphone to ensure it was working properly. As

consider this a voice vote. As there were no objections the motion carries.
Mr.Parker noted that the Appropriation Committee released its main report on October 25th and since
that time the Town had substantially updated its new growth estimate,which would support an
increased appropriation into the Capital Stabilization fund under Article 3. The Committee had
approved a two-page addendum that was now added in their report which included the updated
appropriation as well as well as clarifies a discussion on new growth revenue for FY2022 and
corrected some minor errors,but did not contain changes to the Committee's recommendations to
Town Meeting. Mr.Parker noted that due to the tight schedule for Town Meeting,the Committee

be received and placed on file. As there were no objections the motion carries.

not in their purview.

MOTION: Mr.Peters moves that the reports of the Planning Board be received and placed on file.
As there were no objections the motion carries.
Mr.Peters said that the Board adopted the Comprehensive Plan(also known as Lexington Next)at
their September 28ffi meeting. He noted that while the Board considered the Plan to be a living
document,the adoption represented the completion of a tremendous amount of work and many long
hours from the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee,CPC,Planning staff,community
members,stakeholders,and the Planning Board for producing the Plan and without the assistance of
so many would not have been possible. Mr.Peters gave special thanks to the members of the CPAC,
some who had been working on the Plan for 5 years,and the Co-Chairs, Sarah Felton and Chris
Herbert.Mr.Peters then acknowledged Carol Kowalski,Assistant Town Manager for Development,
and Planner Molly Belanger,who he noted had been involved in the Plan for a very long time. He

unanimously recommended approval of the Article.
7:56 p.m. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion and debate.
Dawn McKenna,Pct. 6,asked that the Recreation Committee explain their plan for
athletic storage. Melissa Battite,Recreation Director,noted that this would be
addressed as they approached the 2023 calendar year. She stated that,along with the
DPW,they sponsored a"clean out"where all organizations had cleaned out their
existing storage containers to check what was actually needed. She further noted that
with the renovation of the building,the DPW maintenance container was expected to
be gone,which reduced the containers by one,and it was hoped that the remainders
would be consolidated.
Ms. McKenna asked whether the could expect a warrant article at the 2023 Annual
Town Meeting to address this issue. Ms.Battite stated that there was nothing in the
current plan to ask for additional storage for a permanent storage,and that they were
looking for more eye-friendly efficient storage and would be taking into account
decisions made for renovation at the high school so that the athletic department could
potentially move their equipment to a place such as the field house. Ms.McKenna
asked whether that meant that Recreation had enough funds in their budget to cover
temporary storage. Ms.Battite noted that the current storage was through the
organizations,themselves,and so they were not funded by the Recreation Department,
they just provide the location.
The LABBB Collaborative Program,251 Waltham St.,submitted a statement of full
support of the proposed renovation of the restrooms.
Members continued to debate the Article.

Gretchen Reisig,Vice Chair of the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee,gave a presentation on

Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member,noted that increasing the availability of affordable housing was
an explicit strategic Select Board goal and stated the Select Board unanimously supported passage of
the Article.

unanimously recommended approval of the Article.
Marilyn Fenollosa,Chair of the Community Preservation Committee,stated the unanimous support
of the Article.
Robert Peters,Planning Board Member,stated that the Planning Board unanimously recommended
approval of the Article.
9:04 p.m. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion and debate.
Robert Balaban,Pct. 5 questioned whether the Trust would have the ability to borrow money,and if
so,why they would do so. Carolyn Kosnoff,Assistant Town Manager for Finance,stated that the
Trust would have the ability to borrow funds,and expected that this would be a collateral transaction,
similar to a mortgage and allow them to borrow to purchase property,which they would then
gift/pass off to another entity,or pay for renovations,similar to what LexHab had the ability to do
presently.
Alan Levine,Pct. 8,noted that in the Motion,part B,is had a reference to a new Chapter 132,and
directly underneath it was the wording"Chapter 21".
Mina Makarious,Town Counsel,stated that this appeared to be a scrivener's error as both chapters
had been available,and this was part of an old version. He asked that 21 be changed to 132.
The Moderator noted that this would be changed on the Motion before them.
The Motion was updated so that it read as follows:
November 1,2022 Special Town Meetings(2022-3),cont.
a) That the Code of the Town of Lexington be amended by adding a new Chapter 132,as follows,
and that the Town Clerk be permitted to make edits to the Bylaw so that its numbering conforms
to the format for the Code:
1 Chapter 132
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST BYLAW
9:08 P.M. David Kanter,Pct. 7,asked what the threshold was for turning something over to the
Select Board's authority. Mr. Sandeen noted that from the perspective of the Select
Board,they were concerned with the purchase of property and deferred the question to
Ms. Kowalski. Carol Kowalski,Assistant Manager for Development,said that a
Housing Trust does not typically develop projects,although they had the power to,it
was not a common practice for the Select Board to have a review role over a non-
profit or for profit developer and there could be multiple subsidies from various
entities such as a bank or other donors or lenders,which would make it cumbersome
or awkward for the Select Board to be required to review the pro formas and be that
involved in the economics of the development. She further noted that any of the
recipients of the funding distributed from the housing trust would have some type of
development agreement and it would have to adhere to all of the community
preservation act requirements and there would be a permanent deed restriction on the
affordable homes produced with the funds.
9:12 p.m. Dawn McKenna,Pct. 6,noted that the FAQ sheet that came with the Article there was
mention of funding from private developers and questioned whether there would be a
public process for bidding before the funds were allocated to a non-profit or for-profit
organization. Mr.Makarious stated that if the project were being built by a public
entity or by the Trust itself,it would have to the normal public procurement process.
He further noted that in terms of grant awards to a private entity to develop the Trust
does not need to go through that process,although sometimes was required with a
CPA funded project it might need to be. Mr.Makarious said that there was often a
grant agreement,or mortgage or loan,to secure the commitment. Ms.McKenna
questioned the list of term limits for the Trustees. Mr.Makarious noted that it was a
staggered system. Ms.McKenna asked if the property were purchased by the Trust,
who the owner would be on the deed. Mr.Makarious stated that it be Town property
at that point. Ms. McKenna asked if the Board would be paid rather than be a
volunteer Board. Mr.Makarious noted that while that was allowed,the language in
the section had to do with protective reorganization committee,which was a nuance in
the Act,itself. Ms.McKenna asked that the difference in the terms"income"and
"principal"were in 132-6"powers of the Trustee",section 7. Ms.Kosnoff noted that
generally in regards of a Trust,there were two cases of the accounting—if the deposits
were made from appropriation,it was considered principal balance and that fund
would be invested and earn interest,which would be considered the income balance.
She also noted that general the Trust identified how much of the principal and/or
interest balance could be spent on specific items,and there was sometimes a
requirement that principal balances be held and not spent,but did not believe it was
the case with this fund,but was giving the power to the Board to decide.
9:19 P.M. Kenneth Shine,Pct.2,asked what would this effectively replace bringing individual
funding requests to Town Meeting. Kathryn Roy,Chair of the Affordable Housing
Trust Study Committee,stated that this were the case and that this was the point as
often due to Town meeting schedules they missed out on properties due to CPA
deadlines. Mr. Shine asked whether there were any limits on the amount of money
that could be in the housing trust at any given time. Ms.Kosnoff said that she was not
aware of any rules or regulations that limited the amount that could be accumulated
into the Trust. Mr. Shine followed up by asking if there were estimates for how much
income would be coming into the fund each year and what the anticipated average
balance. Ms.Kosnoff stated that the average balance would be dependent upon
funding sources but that CPC funds dedicated$700,000 a year to affordable housing,
and that was a reasonable starting point. She mentioned that her understanding was
that according to the Study Committee is that the Trust did not intend to hold and bank
money but rather to put it to use,but that was up to the Board to decide. She further
November 1,2022 Special Town Meetings(2022-3),cont.
stated that in terms of income,it would depend on the principal,but that for the first
few years it was intended to keep the funds liquid and not put in any investment
vehicles that would be held for a long time,and likely be put in treasury equivalent
type items or the Town's MMDT account and she did not expect that it would earn a
large amount of interest. She stated that the Trust would have to follow municipal
investment rules,which required very specific investment vehicles.Mr. Shine
mentioned that there had been 9 potential sources of income and asked if there were
estimates for those(ABPA,etc.). Ms.Kosnoff noted that for the near future,they
received a steady amount from the Affordable Housing Capital Stabilization Fund
which was$100,000 a year from Brookhaven,but did not have information on other
sources. Ms.Roy said that she did not have further information on the other funds.
9:26 p.m. Kathryn Reynolds,Pct. 1,said that when they were speaking of affordable housing,
whether it addressed more than low or moderate and whether there was an actual
number. Ms.Kowalski noted that it was referring to an 80%of area median income
and moderate income was 120%,so maximum income for family of 4 to qualify as
low income was$112,150 for this area. She further stated that the State legislature
made some amendments to the Community Preservation Act in expectation that many
communities which had an Affordable Housing Trusts used their CPA funds as the
primary source of funds to fund the Trust and it would make good sense for Lexington
to follow suit.
9:29 p.m. David Kanter,Pct. 7,asked whether there was anticipation of funds,such as those
received from Brookhaven,being automatically put into the Trust. Ms.Kowalski
stated that it made sense that Town Meeting would have the opportunity of directing
Brookhaven funds to the Trust,and why the Housing Stabilization Fund was created.
She agreed with Mr.Kanter that the Stabilization Fund would eventually not be
needed as Lexington would have the Trust.
9:33 p.m. As Mr. Sandeen declined final comments,the Moderator opened voting and on the

Committee had voted 8-0 to unanimously recommend approval of the Article.
8:14 p.m. The Moderator opened discussion and debate on Article 11.
Steven Heinrich,Pct. 3, stated that he remembered the discussion on Article 16e at the Annual Town
Meeting which discussed everything being voted for the Streetscape Project, including color of the
concrete to concrete sidewalks on Waltham Street and asked how it was that it was that these key
sidewalks were not considered at that time. David Pinsonneault,DPW Director,noted that in order to
get the Streetscape Project out to bid,they had to set limits on what it would entail,which at that time
were strictly on Mass.Ave.,from storefront to storefront. Once this was completed,they had identified
three other areas that they felt would benefit from the same treatment. Mr. Heinrich noted that it was
unfortunate that they hadn't been included in the beginning and noted that a lot of labor went into the
Project and that they should think more broadly in the future.
8:16 p.m. Dawn McKenna,Pct. 6, noted that the Article referred to Center Streetscape and that
some of the changes were to be made within the defined Battle Green Master Plan area by the Visitor's
Center and wondered if that portion was within scope. The Moderator noted that questions regarding
scope would be within the Moderator's purview. She asked Mina Makarious,Town Counsel whether
there was any legal reason she could not consider the question within scope. Mr.Makarious stated that
there was not due to the way the Article is described as sidewalks within Town Center,which made it
a broader definition. The Moderator stated that the Artiele had the terms "sidewalks in and around
Town Center" so that any reasonable person would understand that was within the definition, but
thanked Ms.McKenna for posing the question. Ms.McKenna followed up by asking how much of the
funding would be for that particular portion of the sidewalk. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that he did not
have the breakdown as they had been given lump sum proposal on the project. Ms. McKenna asked
when the work was expected to start and finish. Mr.Pinsonneault said that the idea was to start after
Patriot's Day and finish in the early part of the next construction season. Ms. McKenna said that as
this was part of the Battle Green Master Plan and asked whether there would there be considerations
given to the Tourism committee allowing them to weigh in on materials. Mr.Pinsonneault stated that
they would go to the appropriate committees as required.
8:22 p.m. Bob Avallone,Pct. 8, stated that he could see that the project could be disruptive for
businesses and wondered if there would be any mitigation to deal with the problem. Mr.Pinsonneault
stated that they would follow the same protocols that they had used for the prior two years Streetscape
project which included communication and coordination with businesses.
Jerold Michelson,Pct. 5,and Chair of the Lexington Center Committee noted the unanimous support
of the Committee for the Article,and were appreciative that there had been foresight for the funds and
to keep the same crew together as they had done a great job.
Meeting Members to continue to discuss and debate the Article including transparency in funding,
building materials,costs per square feet,and disruptions to businesses.
8:26 p.m. Bob Avallone,Pct. 8,raised a Point of Order that he had been promoted to Panelist in
the system. The Moderator noted that this was a mistake and that he could ignore it.
8:36 p.m. Mr.Pato,Select Board Member,stated that although he did not have final comments on
the Article,he wished to address a question regarding voting and that he had found that
a vote by Mr.Cohen had been received by the server one second after voting was closed
and that was why it hadn't been counted as the voting period had been terminated.
Mr.Pinsonneault stated that he wished to make a clarification regarding the$1.6 million
that would be brought forward for FY24. He clarified that this was for new sidewalks
only,and not for existing sidewalks.

text had been changed to be in line with what was in the State's language.
Andrei Radulescu-Banu,Pct. 8,stated that it had been stated that electric heating was
cheaper than natural gas,and this was not accurate and that studies had shown this in
Massachusetts,and felt that he could support the Article.

9:11 P.M. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion and debate on Article 14.
David Kanter,Pct. 7,noted that a lot of work had already been done and wondered what would hold
up the process if the Article were approved by the legislature. Ms.Morrison noted that she didn't
think there was anything holding it up.Ms.Morrison clarified that they were hoping to submit by the
3 d week of January so it would be considered a timely file which was the only way to expedite the
process at all. Mr.Kanter noted that he hoped it could be done earlier. The Moderator noted that this
was not the way the filing worked for the legislature,as January was the start of the new Session and
they wouldn't act on new legislation until that time.
November 1,2022 Special Town Meetings(2022-3),cont.
9:17 p.m. John Rossi,Pct. 1,asked if the new organization would be governed by a Board of
Directors,and if so,who would be on it. Ms.Morrison stated that it would be governed by a board of
directors,which would volunteer members. She noted that members were typically recruited and
appointed by existing board members,but noted that for the new organization,the Select Board
would have veto power over board members. Mr.Rossi asked if the veto power were just for the
initial board,or continuing with future boards. Ms.Morrison stated that the existing board would
transition as the new board for the new entity,but the veto power would continue with all future
members going forward. Mr.Rossi asked whether there would be oversight all future board members
by the Select Board. Ms.Morrison agreed that they would.
9:23 p.m. Umesh Shelat,Pct. 7,noted that he was concerned about how the assets were being
transferred to the new entity and asked how it would happen. Ms.Morrison stated that LexHab
owned all the units,and they would transfer them to the new LexHab entity seamlessly through the
Special Act. Mina Makarious,Town Counsel,stated that the real estate assets were held by LexHab
as a Town department,so they were in the care and custody of LexHab. He noted that if LexHab
ever dissolved as a non-profit,the assets would be transferred to the Town at no cost to the Town.
Mr. Shelat followed up by asking if the new non-profit would have the capability of selling the assets,
which were initially paid for by the Town. Mr.Makarious stated that LexHab real estate was subject
to affordable housing restrictions and those restrictions would not go away,but remain in perpetuity,
which meant that any sale would be subject to those restrictions.
Town Meeting Members continued to debate and discuss the Article.
9:50 p.m. As Ms.Hai and Ms.Morrison did not have final comments,the Moderator opened
voting on Article 14.
