ARTICLE 3 TECHNICAL CORRECTION TO ARTICLE 2 OF THE MARCH 18, 2013 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING – LAND PURCHASE OFF MARRETT ROAD To see if the Town will vote to amend Article 2 of the March 18, 2013 special town meeting to correct a technical error in the wording of the motion as approved. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article is for the purpose of making a technical correction to the motion under Article 2 of the March 18, 2013 special town meeting that was voted for the acquisition of 33 Marrett Road. The motion as approved identifies an incorrect financing source. Part (a) of the motion states that $3,560,000 “be raised in the tax levy”. It should have read “…$1,085,778 be raised in the tax levy and $2,474,222 be appropriated from the general fund unreserved fund balance”.

(Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article will impose a temporary moratorium on locating Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) in the town. The recently adopted regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Health implementing Chapter 369 of the Acts of 2012, “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” allow for “local oversight and regulations, including fee requirements,” but do not allow a town to prohibit MMTCs. The moratorium will provide a defined period of time for the town to develop regulations for MMTCs. And you are directed to serve this warrant not less than fourteen days at least before the time of said meeting, as provided in the Bylaws of the Town. Hereof fail not and make due return of this warrant, with your doings thereon, to the Town Clerk, on or before the time of said meeting. th Given under our hands this 20 day of May 2013. Selectmen of Lexington A true copy, Attest: Richard W. Ham, Jr. Constable of Lexington Town of Lexington P LANNING D EPARTMENT Maryann McCall-Taylor, Planning Director Tel: (781) 862-0500 x245 Aaron Henry, Assistant Planning Director Fax: (781) 861-2748 David Kucharsky, Planner MEMORANDUM Date: May 17, 2013 To: Board of Selectmen and Planning Board From: Maryann McCall-Taylor Re: Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Moratorium At the November 6, 2012 State election, the voters of the Commonwealth approved a law regulating the cultivation, distribution, possession and use of marijuana for medical purposes. Within the Town of Lexington, sixty-five percent of the voters who cast ballots on this question supported the law. The law, Chapter 369 of the Acts of 2012, became effective January 1, 2013, and required the Department of Public Health (DPH) to issue regulations governing its implementation. DPH has issued its regulations for Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs), also known as Registered Marijuana Dispensaries (RMDs), which go into effect May 24, 2013. These regulations state that “\[t\]he Department \[of Public Health\] does not mandate any involvement by municipalities or local boards of health in the regulations of RMDs, qualifying patients with hardship cultivation registrations, or any other aspects of marijuana for medical use. However, nothing in 105 CMR 725l000 shall be construed so as to prohibit lawful local oversight and regulation, including fee requirements, that does not conflict or interfere with the operation of 105 CMR 725.000” The regulation of Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) raises novel and complex legal, planning and public safety issues, and Lexington needs time to consider and address these issues. A temporary moratorium is intended to allow sufficient time for the Town to engage in such a planning process and to adopt suitable bylaws and regulations. Lexington is not alone in wanting to take some time to appropriately regulate MMTCs; by a quick search using Google, I found 58 towns and cities in the Commonwealth that passed or are considering moratoriums on the MMTC use. The Attorney General issued two decisions on Medical Marijuana Bylaws on March 13, 2013. Excerpts from the Attorney General’s summary of these decisions follow: “Towns are not permitted to enact a total ban on marijuana treatment centers, …however, are able to adopt zoning by-laws to regulate such treatment centers and to enact temporary moratoriums on the development of the 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 centers…\[An\]outright ban conflict\[s\]with the statute passed by ballot petition in 2012 that ensures reasonable access to marijuana treatment centers. That law’s purpose cannot be served if a municipality were to prohibit treatment centers within its borders, for if one municipality were allowed to do so, all could do so, making reasonable access impossible… \[M\]unicipalities can adopt other zoning by-laws to regulate, for example, the location of these treatment centers within the town. In a separate decision…AG Coakley approved a by-law imposing a temporary moratorium on marijuana treatment centers in the Town of Burlington, pending further study of the zoning issue…The temporary moratorium is consistent with the Town’s authority to impose reasonable time limitations on development while it conducts planning studies and considers the implication of state Department of Public Health regulations concerning such centers…” The law itself provides that in the first year up to 35 permits for MMTCs may be issued with at least one center in each county and no more than five in any one county. There has already been interest expressed in siting a center in Lexington. It is important that we seriously consider not only where we might want to have such a center located (the land use issue), but what would be appropriate local regulations and a permitting path. A comprehensive approach to MMTCs will necessitate the involvement of many parties, including Police, Board of Health, the Selectmen and the Planning Board as well as Town Meeting. Lynne Pease Maryann McCall-Taylor From: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 2:43 PM Sent: To:Debmauger@aol.com; Manuel Ferro Lynne Pease; Mark Corr; Carl Valente Cc: MMTC Subject: Zoning Med Marijuana Moratorium.doc Attachments: I’ve included a possible warrant article and motion for a moratorium on Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. Doing a brief Google search I came up with 58 other cities and towns that have passed or are considering passing temporary moratoriums. Warrant Article: To see if the Town will institute a temporary moratorium on the use of land or structures for Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. The moratorium is to be in effect for the lesser of: a) twelve months after the effective date of the regulations being promulgated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health; or b)twelve months from the date of the moratorium adoption by Lexington Town Meeting. Motion: Zoning Med u arijuana Moratori In the end the Planning Board merely needs to recommend where MMTCs should be allowed. The real work will be up to the Board of Selectmen to establish regulations, fees, inspections and revisions to the General Bylaws. For instance, the bylaws dealing with smoking might need to be expanded to more explicitly include marijuana. Chapter 155, Article III deals with “Smoking and Tobacco Products.” The current definition of smoking is as follows: SMOKING The lighting of a cigar, cigarette, pipe or other tobacco product or possessing a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or other tobacco or nontobacco product designed to be combusted and inhaled.

OstenLoren Wood AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING DATE: 5/20/13 STAFF: Lynne Pease ITEM NUMBER: I.13 SUBJECT: Request to Extend Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot Extension EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Transportation Services Coordinator is requesting that the Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot program that has been running from January 1, 2013 through June30, 2013 be extended through June 30, 2014. See attached information. FINANCIAL IMPACT: RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION: Motion to approve extending the Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot program through June 30, 2014. STAFF FOLLOW-UP: Selectmen’s Office MEMORANDUM TO: Carl Valente, Town Manger Charlotte Rodgers, Human Services Director FROM: Jeanette Rebecchi, Transportation Services Coordinator DATE: May 14, 2013 SUBJECT: Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot Extension Proposal In order to increase Lexpress ridership during off-peak hours, seniors (age 65+), riders with special needs, and Medicare cardholders were offered free Lexpress rides between the hours of 9:00AM and 2:00PM. This pilot program began on January 1, 2013 and will end on June 30, 2013. In light of a very positive response from the community, it is recommended that the pilot program be extended through June 30, 2014. This proposal has the full support of Transportation Advisory Committee and the Council on Aging Board. Impact Ridership Senior and special need ridership has seen a significant increase over the past four months due to this promotion. The actual four-month increase in senior/special need off-peak ridership was approximately 128%; more than double the average of the past three years. All day senior/special need ridership was increased 95%. This is an indication that the promotion has encouraged riders to use Lexpress even during non-free hours.

Overall, the FY13 spring cash revenue was $416 less than the fall. However, after comparing the previous three fiscal years, this “seasonal” decrease is actually normal. These results suggest that initiation of the free-rides pilot program did not significantly change cash fare receipts. - Page 2 - In terms of pass revenue, only one $75 refund has been issued to date. Since so few passholders stepped forward to claim a refund, one could assume that they want to use their pass all day. At most, if no senior or special needs rider applies for a FY14 pass, Lexpress could lose $2400 in pass revenue. This would amount to only 0.46% of the annual operating budget. Overall, instituting this free rides promotion year-round would have a negligible to small impact on Lexpress’ annual budget. Rationale There are several reasons why the Town should target senior/special needs passengers for mid- day Lexpress promotions. 1.The off-peak hours for Lexpress fall within the time of day in which seniors are typically at home and in need of transportation. 2.Cost is a barrier to elderly or disabled passengers living on a fixed income. By eliminating the $0.75 senior/special-needs rate during off-peak hours one can expect the number of rides provided to grow. 3.Providing free rides will increase the number of discretionary trips from passengers who aren’t dependent on taking transit, and incentivize non-essential travel for those who would have stayed at home due to cost. 4.In order for seniors to remain independent in their homes when driving is no longer an option for them, they must be familiar and comfortable with taking public transportation. By providing Lexpress for free, there is an incentive for trying Lexpress as an optional service for those seniors who are still able to drive. Once they are comfortable using Lexpress, it is anticipated that they will continue to do so as they become less mobile, and may even continue to do so even if they are still able to drive. 5.The intangible benefit to society is greater than the low monetary cost. - Page 3 - MEMORANDUM TO: The Board of Selectmen FROM: Bill Levison, Co-Chair, Transportation Advisory Committee DATE: May 15, 2013 SUBJECT: Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot Extension A pilot program was initiated on January 1, 2013, to provide seniors, riders with special needs, and Medicare cardholders with free Lexpress rides between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. As documented in the May 14 memorandum from the Transportation Services Coordinator to the Town Manager, this program has resulted in a significant increase in all-day as well as off-peak ridership by the target groups. The pilot program is currently scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2013. At its meeting on April 8, 2013, the Transportation Advisory Committee recommended by unanimous vote to extend the program through June 30, 2014.
