Select Board Announcements and Liaison Reports – August 4, 2025
Jill Hai, Chair
As we approach the September committee term expirations and the next recruitment cycle, I
propose we revisit our process for renewing existing member terms. To ensure an inclusive
approach that encourages broad community participation and optimizes committee
representation, I will allocate time on the first September agenda for a discussion on
reappointments. Specifically, we should consider whether reappointments should be part of
the general applicant pool or handled automatically. Your thoughtful consideration of this
matter before then would be greatly appreciated as we aim for a more timely conclusion to the
appointment process.

SELECT BOARD MEETING
Monday, June 23, 2025
A meeting of the Lexington Select Board was called to order at 6:30p.m. on Monday, June 23, 2025, via a
hybrid meeting platform. Mr. Lucente, Chair; Mr. Pato, Ms. Hai, Mr. Sandeen, and Ms. Kumar, were
present, as well as Mr. Bartha, Town Manager; Ms. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager; and Ms. Katzenback,
Executive Clerk.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Peter Kelley, 24 Forest Street, expressed his concern of the Lexington High School project Bloom design
being built on park land. He stated he recalled this land was deeded for parks and recreation from Augusta
Scott in 1915. It is valued for its size, location, and sight lines across multiple activities. Placing a 60’ tall
building in the middle of it would destroy its uniqueness. This is very unnecessary. This land is also
protected under Article 97. When looking at the Bloom proposal, the Board should apply common sense.
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, stated that engagement of the public has long been cherished by this
community. She said she feel the Select Board should always allow public comment on all items. Time
limits should also be reevaluated and considered based on public interest of an item, and agendas can be
designed to accommodate that input. She also noted country is celebrating the 250th through 2026. It is
important that the Town take this momentum and keep Lexington’s 250 celebration going into 2026.
Regular events need to be organized, supported, and posted so that the Town can continue to reap the
benefits for years to come.

1. Lexington Civic Academy Graduation
Abe Fofanah, Management Fellow, reviewed the Lexington Civic Academy, now in its 16th session. At
Lexington Civic Academy, residents met for 12 weeks to learn about local government, specifically, the
role each department plays in serving the public. The goal of the program is citizen engagement. The
program is designed to connect residents with the Select Board and Town staff, as well as encouraging
participation on Town committees/boards and as Town Meeting Members.
Jean McDermott, 10 Field Road and participant of the Academy, spoke about the importance of
democracy during the process.
The Academy participant list was read.

2. Update: Waste Reduction Task Force
Maggie Peard, Sustainability and Resiliency Officer, provided an update from the Waste Reduction Task
Force, including an overview of the proposed edits to the Residential Solid Waste Regulation, a proposed
bulky item fee schedule, and next steps. She explained that the Task Force created a Waste Bin Survey.
Over 1,400 households or 12.5% of households served by the trash collection program were surveyed.
98.6% of households put out either zero, one or two bins, with only 1.3% of households putting out three
bins, and 0.1% putting out four bins. The most common bin size was 35 gallons but there were many of
larger sizes as well. Regarding the number of recycling bins per household, the majority are putting out
one, but plenty are also putting out two or more. On average, households in Lexington produce 38.4
gallons of trash per week.
Ms. Peard explained that the current solid waste regulations have a trash bin limit of six bins per
household. This is a large outlier in terms of what other communities have, as many have limits of one,
two, or three bins. Lowering the number of bins is an incremental step to move towards automated
collection, or hybrid pay-as-you-throw programs. The substantive changes include eliminating a trash bin
size limit which is not currently enforced. The regulations currently limit to a 35-gallon bin, but, per the
survey, there are many bins larger than that. The proposal is also to change the maximum number of trash
bins from six to two. Mr. Pinnsoneault noted that, due to the six-barrel limit, there are grants that the
Town is not eligible to receive.
Mr. Pinnsoneault reviewed the draft fee schedule. This was passed by Town Meeting, but, at the time, the
Select Board decided not to institute any of the fees. As a result of that, these numbers are currently in the
budget.
Ms. Peard noted that Mass DEP has a Technical Assistance Grant for communities considering pay-as-
you-throw. It provides 80 hours of their staff support time to help with engagement, materials, and a plan
for implementation. This could be applied for in the fall. If there is continued support for this proposal,
the bylaws currently state that there should be a free place to dispose of rubbish. This would need to be
amended before implementing a hybrid pay-as-you-throw system. The proposal is to bring a bylaw
amendment to Annual Town Meeting 2026. At that Town Meeting, there would also be a request for
appropriation for standard waste carts for the roll out of an automated collection.
Ms. Hai asked about language to address for multifamily housing.
Ms. Kumar suggested leaving a baseline service which contains everything that the Town currently does
but with reduced limits, such as weight or number of bins. There could then be a fee for anything that
goes beyond the limits.
Mr. Sandeen suggested that the easy pass system could be something to model the pay-you-as-throw
program after. He also asked about having mixed sized bin allowances. Ms. Peard agreed that this could
be considered with the help of Mass DEP.
Mr. Pato stated that the hybrid path is important. This is not just a transition to payment. The rate of
increase of trash disposal costs is going up significantly. The hybrid system will lead to taxes not
increasing as quickly and, as they pay for the additional amounts, they will more directly notice how
much waste they are contributing. This should lead to direct incentives to find alternative ways of reusing,
repurposing, or disposing through sharing environments.
Mr. Lucente agreed that the language “pay-as-you-throw” is a bit confusing and may be misleading, as it
is truly, “pay-if-you-throw-too-much.”
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock St, agreed that going from six bins to two bins seems to be too much at first.
The bulky fee item is a concern. If it is already in the budget, then there should not yet be a discussion to
remove them from the FY26 budget. Automatic pickup may be a large issue due to the rolling carts
necessary.
Laura Swain, 29 Locust Ave, stated that she recently used the bulky waste service and found it easy to do.
She is slightly disappointed that the bulky fees would be implemented in a delayed fashion. It will be
important to align residents’ interests with the Town’s costs and interests.
Cindy Arens, 7 Kitson Park Drive, Chair of the Sustainable Lexington Committee and a member of the
Waste Reduction Task Force, stated that she heard concern expressed regarding limiting bin size and that
leading to waste that might attract pests at people’s houses. She stated that a good solution would be
signing up for weekly curbside food waste pickup. She noted that any of the proposed programs would
include assistance for income limited households.

3. Update: Community Choice Low-Income Discount from Solar Partnership
Ms. Peard and Paul Gromer, Peregrine Energy Group, provided an update to the Board regarding a
Community Choice Low-Income Community Solar program.
Mr. Lucente asked how the term “low-income” is defined for this program. Mr. Gromer stated that this is
defined by Eversource’s low income rate. The same qualification mechanism would be used to qualify.
This would include an income0based qualification. If one is eligible for certain benefit programs, that
person becomes eligible for this program. A large benefit is receiving 40% discount off the bill.
Mr. Pato asked about what happens if there are more kilowatt hours consumed than there are funds in the
escrow account. Mr. Gromer explained that an estimate of the solar production is made and monitored
over time. If there was more demand than originally anticipated, the amount of the discount would be
reduced.
Ms. Hai asked who carries the risk if the program is not funded in next year’s budget and the Town holds
a multiyear contract. Mr. Gromer stated that the core promise of the Town is to distribute to low-income
customers money that it receives. If no money is received, there is no money that the Town is obligated
to distribute.
Cindy Arens stated that the Sustainable Lexington Committee is excited to get this program going. The
Committee will keep reaching out to the community in hopes of finding residents that qualify for the
program.
Mr. Sandeen noted that Town Counsel has drafted the agreement in such a way that if the solar developer
had another project that would qualify it could be added in the future.
DOCUMENTS: Lexington Community Choice and Low-Income Community Solar
4. Update: Capital Projects & Solar Canopy Integration Policy (CSIP)
Ms. Peard explained that the proposed Capital Projects & Solar Canopy Integration Policy (CSIP) seeks
to cement a process for integrating the evaluation, design, and installation of solar canopies into
Lexington’s non-building capital projects. It does not seek to be an exhaustive solar policy for the Town,
rather it solidifies a workflow to both maximize solar on feasible capital projects (e.g. parking lots) and
reduce delays to the underlying capital project. The policy has been reviewed by the Department of Public
Facilities, the Department of Public Works, the Recreation Department, the Recreation Committee, the
Sustainable Lexington Committee, and the Capital Expenditures Committee.
There was discussion regarding how the feasibility is determined for certain items.
Mr. Sandeen suggested a one-year pilot for the program in order to come back with statistically
significant data to move forward with.
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock St, stated that she has noticed that over the last several years the decision
making about land use and when to pursue these types of projects has gotten away from the Select Board.
There should be specific language included which states that it is the Select Board's responsibility to
decide whether projects go forward.
DOCUMENTS: DRAFT Capital Solar Integration Policy, Attachment A Lex Solar Screening
5. Update: Plan of Action for Potential Amendments to the Battle Green Use Policy
Mr. Pato explained that the goal of this discussion is to revise regulations for preserving public safety on
and protection of the Battle Green without compromising the opportunity for spontaneous public
expression. He proposed three parallel activities that he would undertake, with assistance from Ms. Hai.
First is to review with the Police Department and DPW the safety and maintenance challenges that were
driving the need for clarity regarding group use of the Battle Green area. The second activity is for
discussions with small groups and individuals in the community regarding how they would look to use
and/or preserve the Battle Green in order to formulate a set of concerns expressed by residents. That input
would then help draft any proposed regulations for Chapter 187 Article 9.
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock St, stated that she hopes the Board will also agree to look at the entire
regulations recommended for the use of the Battle Green, not just around this one issue. She stated that it
will be important to speak with the neighbors around the Battle Green.
Charlie Bauer, 2 Oakland St, complimented the Police Department regarding the June 14th matter. He
expressed interest in participating in outreach for this item.
6. Request for Approval: Lexington Council for the Arts' Request to Paint Additional Town-Owned
Utility Box
Alix Fox, Co-Chair Lexington Council for the Arts, explained that the Lexington Council for the Arts
respectfully requests to paint a Town-owned utility box located at Lincoln Park. This has already been
discussed with Melissa Battite, Recreation Department Director. Ms. Battite stated that the Recreation
Department has approved this request.
VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve the request from
the Lexington Council for the Arts to paint the Lincoln Park Utility Box, with the condition that the
painting can only commence after the October 30, 2025, Utility Box Warranty expiration date.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Peter Kelley, 24 Forest Street, stated that he is unhappy at how the process for the new High School has
played out, citing he feels the Town has put the central playground area at risk. He said the Select Board
should take the entire community into its considerations. In November 2022, he saw it posted that the
intent was to build on the fields. This was almost a whole year before an architect was even selected.

Mr. Lucente recused himself from this item.
Ms. Hai stated that Nick’s Wine & Spirits, located at 1666 Massachusetts Avenue, has currently approved
hours of operation on their all alcohol package store liquor license of 10:00am – 8:00pm Monday-
Saturday, and 12pm-8pm on Sundays. Biswas Enterprise Inc d/b/a Nick’s Wine & Spirits has submitted

There was no public comment at this time.
VOTE: Upon motion duly made and by roll call, the Select Board voted 4-0 to approve the request from

DOCUMENTS: Nicks Wine and Spirits = Change of Hours applicaiton
2. Accept Easement: 50 Valleyfield Road
Ms. Hai explained that a drainage easement was negotiated with LexHAB as a condition of a financial
contribution from the Affordable Housing Trust for LexHAB’s acquisition of the home and property at 50
Valleyfield Road in May 2024. The easement plan was recorded, and the Board is now being asked to
vote to accept and sign the easement document. This easement will allow Lexington Engineering and
Conservation staff to continue to access the property to complete stormwater storage and drainage
improvements that were already in progress before LexHAB’s purchase of the property.
VOTE: Upon motion duly made and by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to accept and sign the
Drainage Easement at 50 Valleyfield Road as presented.
DOCUMENTS: Memo, Drainage Easement 50 Valleyfield, Valleyfield Recorded Plan
3. Approve: Worthen Road School Safety Zone
Ms. Hai explained that, at the May 12, 2025 meeting, the Board received a presentation regarding the
creation of a school safety zone. The Board is now being asked to approve the recommendation from the
Transportation Safety Group (TSG) to create a school safety zone on Worthen Road near Lexington High
School.
Meghan McNamara, Assistant Planning Director, explained that the location of the originally proposed
signage in the School Zone remains unchanged. There were further discussions regarding the suggested
hours, which are now 30 minutes before the school starts to 30 minutes after dismissal. The High School
is an open campus with students coming and going throughout the day. The proposal is supported by the
Lexington High School Principal and the Police Captain. Previously, the proposal was to extend the hours
beyond dismissal to accommodate after school activities, but the recommended time period is more
consistent with what is set for schools across Town. It will also make the 20mph zone more meaningful,
rather than having the school safety zones flashing for 10-12 hours per day.
Mr. Lucente noted that the hours can always be revisited if the proposal does not meet the needs of the
community.
Mr. Sandeen noted that that 20mph speed limit signs do not actually change the physics of the road. He
encouraged the Board and Staff to continue to consider infrastructure that will actually change the physics
of the situation.
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, stated that she finds the lack of the School Zone being extended is
more problematic than the hours. The playing field nearby is an extension. She urged the Board to extend
this to Lincoln Street. Ms. McNamara noted that the guidance of MassDOT School Zone locations
includes that the School Zone limit be no longer than 1/4 of a mile. Ms. McKenna noted that the
guidelines do not take into account the frontage of this property. This is a busy thoroughfare, and it is
critical to expand the guidelines in this case. Mr. Pato suggested installing this as presented but keeping a
close eye on it.
VOTE: Upon motion duly made and by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve in accordance
with the provisions of chapter 689 of 1986 of the general laws, the traffic rules and orders of Lexington,
adopted by the Board of Selectmen on November 13, 1967, now chapter 192 of the code of Lexington,
are hereby amended by adding the following to:
§192-70 twenty-mile-per-hour school zones:
School Street Limits Time
Lexington High Worthen Road Between 1 Bushnell Drive and 30 minutes prior to
School approximately 0.4 miles NW on
Worthen Road school start to 30
minutes after dismissal,
while school is in
session
DOCUMENTS: Worthen School Zone Memo, Worthen School Zone Map, Code Amendment Signature
Sheet (Worthen)
4. Approve: Letter of Support for the Lowell Street Executive Office of Housing and Livable
Communities (EOHLC) Process
Ms. Hai explained that the Board will consider a letter of support related to the Lexington Woods (40B)
affordable housing project application for Low Income Housing Tax Credits through the Executive Office
of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). A similar letter of support was provided by the Board in
April that was included in Lexington Woods Project Eligibility application submission. The 30-day
comment period for this application for Project Eligibility began on June 18, 2025. The wrong project
plans were uploaded on that date for the Town's purposes. They were correctly filed by the developer.
These are being updated as quickly as possible and anyone who previously commented will be emailed
with a notice regarding the correct plans. During this 30-day window, the Town can collect comments
from various town departments, committees, and the public regarding the proposed project. As a part of
this 30-day comment period, the Board is being asked to submit a letter of support related to the
Lexington Woods (40B) affordable housing project eligibility application.
Mr. Sandeen stated that the letter is intended to help the State gauge the level of support in the community
for this, and there could be some small edits made to explain the overwhelming support.
VOTE: Upon motion duly made and by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve and sign the
Select Board Letter of Support, as edited and including any technical corrections, and either an included
summary of all comments received or a note that the separate summary will be sent at the conclusion of
the 30-day period, to be sent to the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) for
the consideration of the Lexington Woods Project Eligibility Letter.

5. Approve: FY25 Year End Budget Adjustments
Ms. Hai explained that Staff will present the FY2025 end-of-year budget adjustments, including four (4)
End-of-Year (EOY) budget transfer requests and five (5) Salary Adjustment (SA) transfers. No Reserve
Fund transfers, or Revolving Fund increases are being requested for the end of FY2025. These
adjustments have been reviewed by the Appropriation Committee
Ms. Kosnoff and Rosalyn Impink, Budget Officer, reviewed the proposed adjustments.
Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, stated that the Town is still not at the same staffing levels in Police
and Fire that it was 20 years ago, and the population has only increased. She would like the Town to
consider how to address these shortfalls.
VOTE: Upon motion duly made and by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve and authorize the
Chair to sign the four (4) End-of-Year budget transfers and five (5) Salary Adjustment transfers as
presented in the attached summary.
DOCUMENTS: End-of-Year Budget Transfers
6. Discussion: Next Steps for Select Board / Town Manager Goals for FY2026
The Board discussed next steps for Select Board / Town Manager Goals for FY2026.
A preliminary set of Strategic Goal Areas was established at the June 18 Board retreat:
Complete The High School Project
Foster A Clean, Healthy, Resilient Environment
Increase Community Vibrancy
Maintain Fiscal Stability
Sustain A Livable Community
Mr. Sandeen stated that he has heard that some residents are a bit confused by the five goals. He
suggested making sure that the high-level goals are more transparently connected to the underlying goals.
The summary and bullet points could be a bit clearer. Ms. Hai noted that the next stage will be to create
specific bullet points which will be action items. This will provide the clarity of how the Board defines
each goal.
Ms. Hai stated that it will be helpful to make sure the goals and action items are also trackable.
Bob Pressman stated that this June 18th meeting was a three-hour facilitated meeting, the agenda item for
which stated, “Facilitated Session on Communication Strategies and Best Practices.” Priorities and goals
were not even on the agenda. The meeting was not on Lexmedia and was not available online. He stated
that he would like the future procedure to be improved, so that the community and those with interest will
be able to watch the meeting and have an opportunity to give feedback.
DOCUMENTS: Memo - Goals (March 2025)
7. Initial Discussion: Town Manager Review Process
Ms. Hai stated that the Board will begin its discussion regarding the process and schedule for conducting
the annual performance evaluation of Town Manager, Steve Bartha. Topics may include the evaluation
format, criteria, use of self-assessment and Board input, timeline for each step, and designees to assist
with coordination. She suggested working backwards from the end date of November, as this would be
the one-year mark for Mr. Bartha with the Town.
There was discussion regarding the format that Danvers uses and trying to take pieces from that.
Ms. Hai stated that she will include a process proposal for the next Board meeting.
Dawn McKenna noted that the Board has goals for this year, and these were included in the job
description. The Board should measure against those. She noted the importance of public, Town
board/committee, and senior management input and feedback on this item.
DOCUMENTS: 2023 - Lexington TM Performance Evaluation Form, 2022 - Danvers Goals and

8. Discussion - Lexington High School Debt Exclusion Vote Date
Ms. Hai explained that at the June 30th Joint Select Board/School Committee meeting, an Article 97
update was presented as well as a proposed timeline for the Lexington High School Project. As a follow
up to the joint meeting, the Board will continue the discussion in the effort of reaching a consensus on a
proposed date for the Debt Exclusion Referendum. The two proposed dates on the table for the debt
exclusion are November 17 and December 8. As a reminder, the Board was leaning towards the
December 8, 2025 date. The School Committee and School Administration were proposing the November
17 date, largely with concern around Thanksgiving.
Mr. Bartha stated that an earlier vote would give the Town a marginally better chance of getting this into
the legislature before the holidays, but this is not a guarantee. It would come at the expense of a couple of
extra weeks. Ms. Hai noted that a submission under Article 97 could be held at any point, and this would
not require the debt exclusion vote to have already been held.
Ms. Kumar noted that the community is most engaged when there is an article at Town Meeting.
Following Special Town meeting with a debt exclusion referendum fairly quickly might help. This is one
reason she could be in favor of November 17.
VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to set the date
for the debt exclusion relative to the Lexington High School project for Monday, December 8, 2025.
DOCUMENTS: 6/30/2025 Presentation - Article 97

ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
1.Facilitated Discussion: Roadmap, Roles, Responsibilities, Resources for Lexington Housing
Entities
Ms. Hai stated the goal for the afternoon was to foster collaboration among the town's various housing-
focused entities to create a cohesive and effective roadmap for advancing affordable housing in
Lexington. Mr. Bartha added that the meeting was intended to help clarify the roles, responsibilities, and
resources of each group to ensure all parties are working together efficiently.
The meeting was then turned over to facilitator Jon Wortman, who led the groups through a series of
exercises designed to create clarity and define a path forward.
Each group was asked to define its primary role and funding sources.
● Lexington Housing Authority (LHA): The low-income housing provider for the town, funded
primarily by federal (HUD) and state subsidies, with some local funds (CPC, HOME). They are
required to follow specific guidelines and regulations.
● Lexington Housing Assistance Board (LexHAB): A newly independent nonprofit that serves low-
and moderate-income residents. It is funded primarily by rental income and CPC funds, with a goal
to increase individual fundraising. It was noted that LexHAB is less tightly regulated than the LHA.
They maintain existing properties as well as develop new affordable housing opportunities.
● Housing Partnership Board (HPB): An advisory committee to the Select Board that promotes and
supports housing production and preservation. It acts as an advocate for diverse housing options in
Lexington and does not request funds.
● Affordable Housing Trust (AHT): Uses trust funds to preserve and develop affordable housing. It is
funded primarily by the Community Preservation Act (CPA), with a small percentage from
developer payments. The Trust was formed to provide flexibility for affordable housing real estate
transactions throughout the year.
● Regional Housing Services Office (RHSO): A municipal collaboration providing housing inventory
monitoring, administrative and technical assistance, and administration of the HOME program
services to ten communities, including Lexington. Funded by fees from member communities.
● Town Staff: The "doers and problem solvers," funded by taxpayers. They provide expertise,
implement policy, and carry out the work designated by the boards and committees.
● Select Board: The elected policy-setting and budget-setting body for the town. The Board approves
comprehensive plans, makes appointments, manages the Town Manager, and advocates at the state
and local levels.
The groups then identified what they see as the most significant problem statement for affordable housing
in Lexington. The primary problems identified were:
● A lack of needed affordable housing units, driven by a lack of community support.
● Insufficient and unsustainable funding.
● Limited organizational capacity among the various groups.
● The general unaffordability of the town.
● The need for a greater diversity of housing options.
Each group proposed actions to address their identified problem statement.
● The Housing Partnership Board proposed building community support through educational fairs,
panels, and community conversations, with a particular focus on educating Town Meeting members
and improving the HPB website.
● LexHAB proposed demonstrating an efficient model of deeply affordable rental housing, promoting
positive tenant stories, and collaborating with other groups on common informational materials like
infographics to educate the public.
● The Affordable Housing Trust stated its primary goal is to help the greatest number of people by
leveraging town funds. In the next year, they plan to establish a tenant financial assistance program,
enter into an agreement with an MBTA-community developer for affordability buy-downs, and
continue to support the Lowell Street project.
● The Select Board identified the core problem as the lack of a defined community goal. Their
proposed action is to work with staff and stakeholders to define a clear, measurable goal (e.g.,
achieving a "true 10%" subsidized housing inventory) with a specific timeframe and interim steps.
● Town Staff identified their role as helping establish clear, board-endorsed priorities with a clear
understanding of which entity is responsible for each task.
The facilitator led a concluding discussion on how the group should work together towards increasing
affordable housing options in Lexington.
It was agreed that the full joint group should meet two to four times per year to report on progress,
improve collaboration amongst the housing-related boards and organizations and align with the Town
Meeting and budget cycles.The next joint meeting was tentatively planned for December 2025 or
January 2026.

PROCLAMATION
Whereas: Diaper need, the condition of not being able to afford a sufficient supply of clean diapers to keep babies and
toddlers clean, dry, and healthy, can adversely affect the health and well-being of children and their
families; and
Whereas: National surveys and research studies report that nearly one in two families struggles with diaper need, and
48 percent of families delay changing a diaper to extend the available supply; and
Whereas: A daily or weekly supply of diapers is generally an eligibility requirement for babies and toddlers to
participate in child care programs and quality early-education programs that enable children to thrive and
parents to work; and
Whereas: Many parents struggling with diaper need report missing an average of five days of work each month due
to an insufficient supply of diapers; and
Whereas: Without enough diapers, babies and toddlers risk infections and health problems that may require medical
attention resulting in medical costs, and parents may be prevented from accessing child care needed to go
to work or school, thereby destabilizing the family’s economic prospects and well-being; and
Whereas: The people of the Town of Lexington recognize that diaper need is a public health issue, and addressing
diaper need can lead to economic opportunity for the state’s families and communities and improved health
for children, thus ensuring all children and families have access to the basic necessities required to thrive
and reach their full potential; and
Whereas: The Town of Lexington is proud to be home to Beantown Baby Diaper Bank and recognizes the importance
of diapers in ensuring health and providing economic stability for families and thus distribute diapers to
families through various channels; and
Whereas: Through their important work of addressing diaper need, diaper banks play a critical role in supporting
families, improving infant health and wellbeing, and advancing our local and state economic growth; now
NOW, THEREFORE, WE, THE SELECT BOARD of the Town of Lexington, Massachusetts, do hereby proclaim the week
of September 15 – 21, 2025 to be recognized as
NATIONAL DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK
in the Town of Lexington as we work together to save lives in our community.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have set our hands and caused the seal of Lexington to be affixed herewith on the 4th of
August, 2025.

Detailed Descripon of Noise Generang Acvity
The Massachuse1s Water Resources Authority (MWRA) is performing water pipeline improvements for
the Northern Extra High (NEH) pressure zone that supplies drinking water to Lexington and neighboring
towns. This project includes three phases (construcon packages) of replacements and/or expansions to
the MWRA’s water supply system to maintain service and increase resiliency. Phase One was completed
in July 2024, Phase Two (CP2) began construcon in May 2025, and Phase Three is currently in detailed
design. This special permit applicaon is in regard to CP2 which is acvely in construcon. Black &
Veatch has prepared this applicaon on behalf of th e MWRA and will funcon as the Applicant in this
circumstance.
NEH CP2 includes approximately 11,100 linear feet if pipeline in Lexington that will be installed from the
intersecon of Lowell Street and Maple Street, rout ed southwest along Maple Street to the Minuteman
Bikeway. From there, the alignment turns southeast onto the Minuteman Bikeway, then turns south onto
Bow Street and finally east onto Massachuse1s Avenue, ending at exisng Meter 47 in Arlington across
the town line.
Most of this construcon will be performed during n ormal allowable hours of operaon between 7:00
AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. However, we are seeking approval for approximately 300 linear
feet of pipeline installaon on Massachuse1s Avenue from Hibbert Street to 1540 Massachuse1s
Avenue to be performed overnight between 7:00 PM and 5:00 AM Monday to Thursday. The MWRA and
their Contractor are flexible with the hours of overnight work and could also accommodate a schedule of
8:00 PM to 6:00 AM Monday to Thursday. By working four 10-hour shiHs per week, rather than five 8-
hour shiHs, the overall disrupon to abu1ers can be reduced.
Approximately 142 linear feet of pipeline will be installed within the Town of Lexington, between sta on
60+15 and staon 61+56 (Aachment #1). The remaining secon between staon 60+15 and sta on
59+20 falls within the Town of Arlington. Given that this request violates the permi1ed work hours
established under Chapter 80, Secon 4 of the Town of Lexington Noise Control Ordinance, we are
requesng a temporary waiver. This waiver will help reduce construcon impacts on local roadways and
businesses in this area. The pipeline construcon w ork will restrict access to Mal’s Service Center
facilies where service vehicles are parked and dep loyed. Addionally, construcon in the roadway will
necessitate lane restricons and detours for local traffic on Massachuse1s Avenue. The work will be
scheduled following the review of this applicaon, but it is ancipated to take place over the course of
three weeks from 8/27 to 9/17; however, this melin e is subject to change pending the Select Board’s
review and approval. The contract drawing (Aachment #1) highlights the secon of water main for
which night work is being requested.
Night work will have minimal to no impact on dayme traffic. Following each night shiH the trench will
be backfilled and securely covered with steel plates to maintain a safe traffic flow and the trench will be
paved at the end of the work week.
The noise generang acvity will include the constr ucon crew (5-10 individuals) and construcon
acvies including excavator operaon, trucks, and power tools used to open the roadway, excavate the
pipeline trench, install the pipeline, backfill the trench, and repaving over the trench. The noise
associated with these pieces of equipment is not predictable and could occur at any point during
construcon. The height of the noise source will va ry between the height of the tallest piece of
equipment (approximately 15 feet) and the lowest point of pipeline installaon, approximately 15 feet
underground.
Descripon of Expected Impacts on Abuers
The expected impacts on abu1ers will be noise generated by construcon acvity in the abuNng
roadway. The noise level is esmated to range betwe en 80 dBA to 100 dBA during the work, with short
duraons of pavement saw cuNng at the beginning of the shiH that may reach up to 110 dBA.
Equipment is expected to produce the following noise levels during construcon:
· Dump truck – 100 dBA at 10-foot radius
· Excavator – 100 dBA at 10-foot radius
· Front end loader – 60 dB at 10-foot radius
· Pipe saw – 110dB at a 10-foot radius
· Power drill – 70 dB at a 10-foot radius
· Hoe Ram – 110 dB at a 10-foot radius
Saw cuNng will be completed during the day or early in the evening to migate noise disturbances to
abu1ers. If rock ledge is encountered, hammering (through use of the hoe ramming machine) will also
be done early in the evening. Should rock ledge be encountered, producon could be impacted and the
three weeks of night construcon work may expand.
By the informaon outlined above, the loudest anci pated noise proposed during construcon will
exceed the maximum permi1ed noise level by 25 dBA.
Explanaon of Financial Hardship
The work will require a full road closure in the proposed night work area to allow construcon in the
Massachuse1s Avenue roadway, impacng local traffic in the area. In parcular, the overnight pipeline
construcon work is proposed to maintain access for Mal’s Service Center during normal dayme work
hours. If this work were to occur during the day, it would prevent customer access to the service center
and reduce their normal business acvies.
We greatly appreciate your me in reviewing this Sp ecial Permit Applicaon and look forward to
presenng the request at the August 4, 2025 Select Board Meeng.

First Proposed Cable Placement:
Beginning at Manhole #54/118 near 17 Hartwell Ave, the conduit will cross the street to the curb and continue
northeast along the sidewalk. It will pass Westview Rd and terminate at the riser pole NT. This installation will
consist of (1) 4" SCH 40 PVC Conduit (trenched) and (1) 4" SCH 40 PVC Conduit (trenched and concrete
encased), approximately one hundred and three (103) feet.
Second Proposed Cable Placement:
This will begin at Manhole #54/121 and terminate at Utility Pole #22 on Hartwell Ave between Maguire Rd and
Minuteman Commuter Bikeway. This installation will consist of (1) 4" SCH 40 PVC Conduit (trenched),
approximately thirty (30) feet.
Third Proposed Cable Placement:
This will begin at Manhole #54/120 northeast of Minuteman Commuter Bikeway and terminate at Utility Pole #
411/20. This installation will consist of (1) 4" SCH 40 PVC Conduit (trenched), approximately ten (10) feet.
Fourth Proposed Cable Placement:
Beginning at Utility Pole #411/50 (located between 113 Hartwell Ave and 101 Hartwell Ave), the conduit will
cross the street and terminate at Manhole # 54/302. This installation will include (1) 4" SCH 40 PVC Conduit

Abutter notices were mailed as required.
The Engineering Department reviewed the request and have no objection to the petition. They did make the
following comment:
"Note - our roadway project will include widening of the road. Any work to be done should be done in a
way as to not impede our future construction (e.g. conduit should be installed to a depth that will be if the
road is widened over it). The UP proposed to be connected to will be relocated as part for the roadway
project. Lexington's current concept plan for the project includes a 10' sidewalk/path at the ROW and a 5'
grass buffer to the edge of road. The grass buffer will be used for tree plantings, street lights and UP’s to
the extent practicable. Prior to the installation of any conduit, TC Systems should to reach out to the
Lexington Engineering Division with any follow up questions."
Erica Hudson, Project Engineer, Siena Engineering, will be in attendance at the meeting to answer any questions
the Board may have.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to _________ a Grant of Location to TC Systems, Inc., to construct, and a location for, such a line of
conduits with the necessary wires and cables therein, to be located, from the Verizon System to riser poles as
shown on plans entitled "Proposed Cable Placement Plan Lexington Overbuild Lexington, MA" dated June
30, 2025 prepared for TC Systems, Inc. by Siena Engineering Group.

TO: Lexington Select Board
FROM: Jill Hai, Chair; Doug Lucente
DATE: July 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Proposed Process for the FY2025 Town Manager Performance Evaluation
1. Purpose
This document outlines a proposed process for conducting the annual performance evaluation
for Town Manager Steve Bartha, covering his first year from November 2024 to October 2025.
The goal is to establish a clear, constructive, and transparent process that aligns with municipal
best practices and reflects the priorities discussed by the Select Board. This process will utilize
the accompanying Proposed Performance Evaluation Form 2025.
2. Guiding Principles
The evaluation process will be guided by the following principles:
● Goal-Oriented: The evaluation will be directly tied to the specific first-year strategic and
operational objectives established in the evaluation form.
● Fair and First-Year Focused: The process acknowledges this is the Town Manager's first
year and will focus on successful integration, relationship-building, and initial progress on
long-term goals.
● Consolidated and Clear Feedback: The final evaluation will represent a single, composite
message from the Board, providing clear and actionable feedback. Dissenting opinions will
be noted appropriately within the consolidated document.
● Confidential and Transparent: The process will respect the confidentiality of personnel
matters while adhering to the Open Meeting Law for final discussion and deliberation.
3. Proposed Evaluation Process and Timeline
Action Timeline
1 Finalize Process & Form By August 31, 2025
The Select Board formally reviews and adopts the process and the accompanying
evaluation form.
2 Town Manager Self-Assessment Due September 30,
2025
The Town Manager completes the evaluation form as a self-assessment, providing a
narrative on accomplishments, challenges, and progress toward first-year goals. This is
submitted to the Select Board Office.
3 Board Member Individual Evaluations Due October 14,
2025
Each Select Board member independently completes the evaluation form, incorporating
their own observations and feedback gathered from the community. Individual evaluations
are submitted confidentially to the Select Board Office.
4 Management Assessment Prior to contract
renewal deadline
To inform the Board’s evaluation of management and leadership, the Board may, in
its discretion, utilize a multi-rater assessment (aka 360 review) in accordance with
ICMA Credentialing Advisory Board standards.
5 Collation & Drafting of Composite Review October 14 - 24,
2025
The Select Board Executive Clerk confidentially collates all five individual Board evaluations
and ratings into a single composite draft review. The draft will summarize consensus
feedback and note any significant outlier perspectives.
6 Evaluation Meeting (Open Session) November 10, 2025
The Board meets with the Town Manager in an open session to present and discuss the
evaluation. Typically following the review, the Board and Town Manager will formally
establish performance goals for the next evaluation period.
