other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by the Board of Selectmen)

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

(Inserted by the Board of Selectmen)

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

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.

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.
Let me know if you need any other information at this time or have edits to suggest.

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.

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.

Created by Bill Levison, Transportation Advisory Committee
Revenue
Due to recent changes in the cash fare structure, cash revenues collected from September –
December and January – April were compared. 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.

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.
