FINANCIAL IMPACT: RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION: Motion to approve the Consent Agenda. STAFF FOLLOW-UP: Selectmen’s Office 67-362 Selectmen’s Meeting May 20, 2013 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, May 20, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen Meeting Room of the Town Office Building. Chairman Mauger, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Manz and Mr. Pato; Ms. Vine, Deputy Town Manager; and Ms. Pease, Executive Clerk, were present. Public Comment Ms. Sullivan, Thoreau Road, explained that when the High School students visited Antony, th France, this year (the 26 year students have visited Antony) the City Hall presented to the students three books for Lexington to be kept at the Cary Library: 1) Antony – cinq siecles de rues et de lieux-dits by Yvonne Firino (a history book about Antony’s origins to present day); 2) Antony Des origins a nos jours by Anne Fontaine (the history of Antony through its street names); and Hauts-De-Seine Berceau De L’Automobile by Jean Fondin (about the cradle of automobile manufacturing in France). Each of the books has a book plate that says: “Gift to the Town of Lexington from the Ville d’Antony, France, February 15, 2013, on the occasion of the farewell dinner at Lycee Descartes honoring exchange students from Lexington High School.” Ms. McKenna, Tourism Committee Chair, thanked Ms. Sullivan for spearheading the relationship between the schools and Antony, France. The Selectmen will send a letter of thanks for the wonderful books. Ms. McKenna, Tourism Committee Chair, reminded the Board that the Mayor of Antony and fourteen other Antony residents will be in Lexington for the Memorial Day weekend and hope the Selectmen will be able to meet and greet them. They will be at Discovery Day on Saturday, May 25, from 1-3 p.m. On Sunday, May 26, there will be a groundbreaking ceremony and picnic at Antony Park in Tower Park beginning at 12:30 p.m. On Monday, May 27, they will participate in the annual Memorial Day parade. Mr. Karnofsky, Bertwell Road, raised a concern about the Community Farm RFP that he feels will affect all potential applicants that want to operate a farm. The RFP was revised to remove the language requiring the lessee to remove existing structures and the security deposit amount was reduced to $30,000. He is concerned that bidders will not be able to meet the required security deposit amount and suggested that it be removed since the requirement to remove existing buildings has been taken out of the RFP. The Selectmen took the information under advisement and will get back to Mr. Karnofsky for follow-up. 67-363 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports Ms. Mauger showed a picture of Mr. Ladd, the Head Coach for the Boys Outdoor Track Team and the 55 team members. They did a Community Service Project on Whipple Hill this past weekend in support of the Conservation Stewards, who are working on a comprehensive trail improvement project to be carried out over the next two years. The Track Team carried tons of lumber to five different areas on Whipple Hill that the Stewards will use to build hundreds of feet of bridges and boardwalks. The Conservation Stewards were extremely grateful for the hard work of the Track Team and their Coach. The lumber was purchased with a grant from the department of conservation and recreation. Town Manager Report Ms. Tintocalis, Economic Development Director, announced the great news that Lexington received a grant from MassDOT that will provide funding for a shuttle service on Hartwell Avenue. Ms. Vine provided copies of a bill filed by Senator Ken Donnelly that would increase the base percentage of school building assistance for regional vocational school districts that have high out-of-district enrollments by 10 percent, subject to the existing overall maximum reimbursement percentage limit. The Selectmen were urged to contact their representatives to support it. The Selectmen will also discuss at their next meeting on June 3. Liquor Hearing – New Wine and Malt License – The Upper Crust The Upper Crust submitted all the necessary paperwork and requested a new wine and malt liquor license. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the application for a new liquor license and to issue a Common Victualler Wine and Malt Beverages Liquor License to UC Lexington, LLC, The Upper Crust, 41 Waltham Street.

Chuck Corssino November 3, 1969 to November 3, 2009 Eric Huoppi April 26, 1971 to May 10, 2013 Ron Russo October 15, 1973 to January 3, 2012 Billy Shaw April 1, 1974 to October 17, 2012 Chuck Toomey August 5, 1968 to January 3, 2012 Chuck Walton November 25, 1968 to April 19, 2013 Tommy White January 31, 1972 to July 1, 2011 67-364 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Ms. McKenna stated that DPW workers are always first and last at all scenes and residents should be very grateful. Mr. Kelley thanked the workers for the many years of experience and commitment to Lexington. Mr. Mauger also thanked the wives and families for their sacrifices over the years because of the many emergencies and events. Each of the retiring DPW workers received a gift from the Selectmen and a group picture was taken. Sidewalk Committee Recommendation on Winthrop Street Sidewalk Ms. Crocker, Chair of the Sidewalk Committee, stated that on May 29, 2013 in the interest of pedestrian safety and being identified as a major point of connectivity for local neighborhoods with schools and the center area, the Sidewalk Committee unanimously voted to recommend to Selectmen that the Winthrop Road sidewalk be completed from Highland Avenue to Waltham Street. The public hearing will be held Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen Meeting Room. UniQure Presentation Ms. Tintocalis, Economic Development Director, introduced UniQure, a bio-tech company based on the Netherlands, which is proposing an expansion into the United States and is looking at two sites along Hartwell Avenue. The company’s focus is on gene therapy. Their expansion proposal includes approximately 50,000 square feet of research, development and clinical manufacturing space. They want to explore what type of public-private partnership is possible with the Town and State to facilitate their proposed expansion. Mr. Abair, MassBio, congratulated Lexington on focusing on life sciences as part of its economic development plan and for participating in the Bio convention last year. He wanted to introduce Steve Gorgol from UniQure and is looking forward to the future growth of small mid- sized companies that will bring new technologies to the marketplace, of which UniQure is one of those companies. He also offererd MassBio support for UniQure and Lexington. Mr. Gorgol presented a slideshow on what UniQure is working on, the benefits and who can st benefit from Glybera, the 1 gene therapy to be approved. Glybera reduces the risk of pancreatitis, reduces hospitalization/intensive care time, has long-term effects and will help to reduce overall burden on health care. UniQure plans to create 75 to 100 jobs when construction is completed. 67-365 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Discuss Proposed Center Parking Study Mr. Michelson, Center Committee, and Ms. Tintocalis, Economic Development Director, updated the Board on the Parking Management Group’s (a subcommittee of the Center Committee) policy document that identifies the critical parking issues in the Center and outlines actions to improve the parking conditions. The Group requested feedback from the Selectmen on what the parking challenges are in the Center and discuss next steps. The parking problems consist of: employees compete with customers for parking, payment methods are outdated, current pricing does not reflect value, difficult and confusing to find parking lots and people avoid the center if they cannot easily find parking. The suggested solutions are to: create a mix of payment options and availability to encourage visitors; move long-term parking users from high-demand areas; facilitate long-term parking in the periphery of the center; increase parking capacity and circulation in lots and nearby streets and improve signage, parking information and incentives for alternative modes of transportation. The Group wants to manage the existing parking spaces we have; it does not include any additional parking spaces. The Selectmen all agreed with the existing parking problems. Mr. Cohen believes a major concern is parking by employees in the center. Next steps include posting the presented Parking document on the Town’s webpage, preparing an RFP to send out to bid, keep updating parking data, workshops and public outreach sessions planned after the summer. The Parking Management Group will return to the Selectmen in 8-12 months with suggested changes. Mr. Kelley asked whether there is parking meter revenue available to help with this parking program, if there will be costs associated with suggested parking changes and whether the Board can get a sense of the revenue collected in the center zone and how it relates to the center maintaining parking operation and funding some of the suggested changes. Mr. Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member, asked what the timeline is for the RFP and the consultant’s work to update and is funding available to accommodate that timeline. Ms. Tintocalis hopes to finalize the RFP and get it out to bid within the next three weeks. Funds are available from the previous parking study to bring the recommendations to reality. Ms. McKenna, Tourism Committee, is pleased that the RFP will include the area of the Battle Green all the way to Woburn Street, so that it will include the visitor impact. Her data shows that at least 100,000 come through the Visitor Center each year. Using that number, 85 percent of people come by private auto (assume 2 per car or 40,000 cars) each year just related to visitor services. She emphasized the need for the people counter to get a better idea of the magnitude of visitors. 67-366 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Approve Center Parking Signage Ms. Tintocalis, Economic Development Officer; Mr. Michelson, Center Committee; and Ms. McKenna, Tourism Committee, presented the proposed parking signs that will improve their visibility. The Center Committee and Tourism Committee worked with Parking Management Group to come up with a compromise on the proposed parking signs. The HDC has approved the proposed design and locations. The proposed parking signs are a white “P” inside a blue circle with the traditional oxblood colored background in the current shape. They presented a map of the eleven proposed locations. Some of the Selectmen thought the signs could be larger. The Center Committee and Tourism Committee will monitor feedback on the new proposed signs. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the new public parking signs to be installed in 11 locations, as presented. Sign Warrant for Special State Election on June 25, 2013 Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to sign the June 25, 2013 Special State Election Warrant. Discuss Anaerobic Digestion Community Meetings Before the Anaerobic Digestion RFP is distributed it is suggested that the Selectmen hold some community meetings. The suggested dates for the first two meetings will be June 13 at 7:00 p.m. in Battin Hall and June 20 at 9:30 a.m. at the Library. Other meetings will be scheduled, including for the property owners in the Hartwell Avenue area. The meetings will include a presentation and opportunity for questions. Liquor License – Change of Manager for Omni Crushed Grapes Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the application for a change of manager and issue an all alcoholic Retail Package Goods Liquor License to J&T Enterprises of Massachusetts, Inc., d/b/a Omni Crushed Grapes & More, 411 Waltham Street. Approve and Sign Eagle Letter Congratulating Brady Gambone Mr. Manz explained with pleasure how involved scouts are in the community, including helping move books for the Cary Library Book Sale. Mr. Gambone’s Eagle Project involved the deconstruction and building of two bridges and walkways in the Paint Mine Conservation Area. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to send a letter of commendation to Brady Gambone congratulating him on attaining the highest rank of Eagle in Boy Scouting. 67-367 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot Extension Ms. Rebecchi, Transportation Services Coordinator, explained that the Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot that started January 1, 2013 to try to increase Lexpress ridership during off-peak hours and provide seniors, riders with special needs and Medicare cardholders free rides between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. has received positive response from the community. It is recommended that the pilot program be extended through June 30, 2014. This pilot program has the full support of the Transportation Advisory Committee and the Council on Aging Board. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was 5-0 to approve extending the Off-Peak Senior Fares Pilot Program through June 30, 2014. Community Farming Committee The Selectmen were not prepared to approve the charge or appoint members to the Community Farming Committee, so the item was deferred to the next Selectmen’s meeting. Mr. Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member, recommends that the charge for the Community Farming Committee include language making it clear that there will be no financial help from the Town. Ms. Mauger asked the Selectmen if they wanted to revise the charge. She wants to be consistent. Since the language regarding financial help from the Town was included in the Community Center Advisory Committee charge it should also be in the Community Farming Committee. All of the other Selectmen did not want to make any revisions to the charge and felt the requested language was not needed. Council for the Arts – Appointments Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to appoint Cristina Burwell to the Council for the Arts to fill the unexpired term of Edwin Huberdeau until September 30, 2015. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to appoint Lynne Klemmer to the Council for the Arts for a term to expire September 30, 2014. Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) – Charge Revisions The proposed changes to the charge include increasing the membership from 9 to 11, adding a paragraph under the description regarding recommendations of the EDAC, and adding a non- voting liaison from the Center Committee. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the proposed changes to the Economic Development Advisory Committee charge. 67-368 Selectmen’s Meeting – May 20, 2013 Town Celebrations Committee – Resignation Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to accept the resignation of Jo-Anne Granger from the Town Celebrations Committee, effective immediately.

Winthrop Road Sidewalk Public Hearing Ms. Mauger explained that prior to the hearing notices were sent out to abutters, and prior to the notice the Selectmen received phone calls, emails, and had face to face meetings with residents who wanted to share comments or concerns. At the hearing each person will have up to 3 minutes to speak. If anyone still feels they have not been heard they are free to email the Selectmen after the hearing. The purpose of the hearing is for the Board to hear comments. The Selectmen will not deliberate tonight and make a decision.

Ms. Mauger read the statements of Chin-o Chang, 48 Winthrop Rd. and Barry & Jane Fanburg, 20 Sherborne Rd. Comments by those in opposition to the sidewalk included that it was not proven to be necessary; there were no incidents or accidents in the past 10 years; it was a poor use of taxpayer funds; neighbors were not notified or given the opportunity to express concerns when the sidewalk was first proposed; of those directly affected 8 are in favor, 11 are opposed and 3 are neutral; current sidewalks in the Town have fallen in to disrepair and maintenance is expensive.

Chairman Mauger, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Manz and Mr. Pato; Mr. Valente, Town Manager; and Ms. Pease, Executive Clerk, were present. Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports Mr. Manz reported that the Food Truck Event was well attended and all the restaurants downtown were full. th Mr. Manz and Mr. Kelley attended the 300 Volunteer Event on June 2. They want to thank all th the volunteers who worked so hard planning all the 300 events. Mr. Kelley thanked Sam Doran, Historian, and Ryan Lennan, Veterans Agent, for their research and work to get the necessary approvals from the government to get markers made for the graves of five Lexington residents who served in the Civil War. They also found and contacted living relatives. Mr. Cohen took part in many of the Antony Sister City events over the weekend. He thanked the Antony Sister City Group and the Tourism Committee for all their work on all the wonderful events. Ms. Mauger reported that a group of eight volunteers from First Parish Church spent last Saturday helping rehabilitate the old apple orchard at Cotton Farm. They removed grass and excess soil from the base of many of the trees and they took out brush that blocked passage between trees. On Sunday Eagle Scout candidate Michael Amirault and his crew installed an informational kiosk next to the parking area at Cotton Farm. All this activity is part of an ongoing effort by volunteers to make the Cotton Farm/Upper Vinebrook Conservation Area more attractive to visitors. Ms. Mauger also reported that at Discovery Day on Saturday, several volunteers ran a booth to educate Lexington residents about the Town’s three watersheds: Shawsheen River, Charles River and Mystic River. Working closely with Emily Shadler, Conservation, and David Pavlik, Engineering, the volunteers set up a booth with three stations:1) large map of the Town’s watersheds and where resident’s stormwater goes; 2) an aquarium with tadpoles, fish and snails from the Old Res and DPW’s stormwater runoff model; and 3) information material. They estimate that over 150 residents came to the booth to learn about their watersheds and the impact on local water quality. Town Manager Report Mr. Valente reported on 3 items: 67-373 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 3, 2013 1.The Health Department will sponsor a medical waste collection on Wednesday, June 5 from 5-7 p.m. in the parking lot behind the Town Office Building. 2.Congratulations to Mr. Beaudoin, Superintendent of Environmental Services, who was awarded the Massachusetts Environmental Health Association – Innovation Award for his work in recycling and hazardous waste management. 3.Disappointing news received that the Governor would only release $150 million of Chapter 90 funds, instead of the $300 million approved by the Legislature. Greenways Corridor Committee Presentation on Greenway Plans Mr. Abrams, Greenways Corridor Committee, presented the West Lexington Greenway Interim Report #1 to the Selectmen. He specifically discussed the priority of the Turning Mill Road to Lincoln Street project that they want permission to move forward on.

The roads that will be impacted are: Hanscom Air Force Base to Hartwell Avenue to Wood Street to Massachusetts Avenue to Marrett Road to Spring Street to Route 2. The work needs to be completed by October 1, 2013. The Selectmen had concerns about the proposed route. Mr. Livsey reviewed possible options but the current proposed route causes the least problems. The Hanscom contractor will be responsible for repair to any streets and sidewalks. The Selectmen suggested that the Town receive a bond in case there is a need to recover costs for services. The Selectmen asked how this project would affect Town construction. Mr. Livsey stated that the Massachusetts Avenue work would be delayed until next year. Other work will be coordinated with the necessary Hanscom detours. The Selectmen requested that they receive regular updates on construction projects. Ms. McKenna was concerned about the Liberty Ride bus since summer is their busiest time of year. She will connect with Engineering on how to get information on construction work to visitors. She also suggested that Engineering connect with the Aloft and Element hotels since both their entrances will be affected by this project. Mr. Hadley informed the Board that work on a new water main from the Walgreens on Bedford Street to the Bedford Street/bikeway intersection will begin on June 10 and will last approximately three months. Winthrop Road Sidewalk Discussion/Vote Mr. Livsey, Town Engineer, reviewed the scope of the proposed project on Winthrop Road from Waltham Street to Highland Street and the design of the intersections to narrow crossings and slow vehicles that are exiting and entering at John Poulter Road, Sherburne Road and Highland Avenue. The sidewalk will be on the even numbered side of the street, approximately 1,800 feet and will cost approximately $100,000. The sidewalk surface will be five feet wide with a two foot grass strip. If the project is approved by the Board, Mr. Livsey will meet with abutters if they have any questions or concerns. Work this summer includes paving Waltham Street starting 100 feet from the center to Winthrop Road and continuing the existing sidewalk on Waltham Street to Winthrop Road and includes signal improvements, proper crossings and audible detection at all four corners of the intersection of Waltham Street and Marrett Road. It also includes installing a continuous sidewalk on Waltham Street from the center to Winthrop Road and resetting or replacing granite curbs. 67-375 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 3, 2013 Answering questions about Stop signs at the end of streets intersecting with Winthrop Road, Mr. Livsey stated that if the Selectmen approved the proposed sidewalk an exact layout of the sidewalk and intersections will be designed for Engineering and the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) to review and evaluate. Regarding concerns at Vine Brook, Mr. Livsey stated there was enough space for the proposed five foot sidewalk without getting near any slopes. Questions have been asked about how the Town prioritizes new sidewalks. Mr. Livsey answered that there are many ways, including: the Sidewalk Committee looks at or hears about certain locations and they prioritize their own list. Engineering works with the Sidewalk Committee, but also reviews the capital projects list, missing connectivity pieces, areas with lots of pedestrians or near schools and businesses, and opportunities to receive grants. Regarding maintenance of sidewalks, Engineering and Public Works consider maintenance very important. The Highway Department has asked and received increased funding and been able to make progress on maintenance of sidewalks. When the Roadway Analysis was done data was collected on sidewalks to allow the Town to map them to see which have the most deficiencies. Asked about the relationship between TSAC and the Sidewalk Committee, Captain Ferro, Police, answered that requests to TSAC come through the Police Department. They review the requests, discuss with other departments and committees and resolve the problem or bring before TSAC. The Police Department received a request to look at traffic calming on Winthrop Road. There are currently traffic counters collecting speed, volume and type of vehicles information. Traffic calming and sidewalks are two separate issues. Captain Ferro likes the proposed plan for the Winthrop Road sidewalk and the proposed traffic calming measures at the three intersections. He also stated that over 90 percent of accidents with pedestrians happen when they are walking on the street. Massachusetts has three methods that are used in tabulating and qualifying bookable traffic accidents: damage is over $1000, someone is cited or there is personal injury. Research done over the last 10 years show no data for Winthrop Road Mr. Manz pointed out that there are several ways to trigger the building of a sidewalk, including subdivisions or renovation of a single family home requiring renewal or improvement to sidewalk and roadway; grant proposals; and citizen requests to the Sidewalk Committee. The Sidewalk Committee is part of the process to provide input to the Selectmen. He thinks there has been more than adequate time for all sides to be heard on the proposed Winthrop Road sidewalk. Regarding a policy on sidewalks, the Planning Board’s view is there should be sidewalks. The Planning Board Comprehensive Plan includes expanding sidewalks. 67-376 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 3, 2013 Ms. Mauger discussed the great work that the committee volunteers do with no support. They do not have the capacity or ability to schedule hearings and notify abutters. The Selectmen should discuss options for helping committees at goal setting. She wants the committees to know the Board appreciates all their work. Ms. McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, grew up near the John Poulter Road intersection and her family owned the Vine Brook land at 42 Winthrop. She offered the staff background information from when her family sold the land. As a Town Meeting Member she looks at the cost benefit analysis and asked why Winthrop Road was a priority when the Selectmen have a policy that a certain percentage of residents have to agree with the sidewalk plans. She is also very concerned about the number of projects on major roadways and visitors having a hard time getting around. Lastly she was concerned about the Highland Avenue intersection and whether the trees and shrubs that obstruct the visibility at that corner could be removed. The Selectmen’s Office looked for a policy that required approval of sidewalk projects by a certain percentage of its abutters, but did not find any such policy. Mr. Perry, 28 Winthrop Road, is concerned about the Highland Avenue intersection design. He also feels the 2 feet of grass will not be maintained and that the sidewalk is out of proportion to the road. Mr. Livsey explained that the Highland Avenue intersection design shortens the crossing and makes the cars come to a stop to enter or leave the intersection. The design also helps with a drainage concern. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the installation of a sidewalk on Winthrop Road, as presented. Review Charge for Cary Building Design Committee Mr. Johnson, Stetson Street, requested that the Selectmen consider adding the Finance Committees as liaisons to the Committee. The Selectmen agreed. The Selectmen will also include a liaison from the Board of Selectmen. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the Ad hoc Cary Memorial Building Renovation Design Committee, as amended, and designate members as Special Municipal Employees. Approve Class II License – King’s Auto Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the application and issue a Class II license to Lihao Chen, 66 Emerson Gardens Road, provided no vehicles are stored at the property at any time. 67-377 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 3, 2013 Endorse Proposed Legislation on MSBA Reimbursement for Technical/Vocational Schools Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to endorse and sign a letter to the Chairs of the Joint Committee on Education in support of Senate Bill 228, An Act Relative to Regional School District Capital Project Funding.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the application for a change of manager and issue an all alcoholic Innkeeper Liquor License to A&E Lexington Hotels Operator, LLC, d/b/a Element Lexington, 727 Marrett Road – B. Special Town Meeting Article Discussion All the Selectmen support Article 3 – Technical correction to Article 2 of the March 18, 2013 Special Town Meeting – Land Purchase off Marrett Road. The Selectmen will wait until the June 10 Selectmen Meeting to take positions on Article 2 – Approve TIF Agreement, and Article 4 – Amend Zoning Bylaw – Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. Committee Appointments/Resignations/Charge Community Center Advisory Committee The Selectmen decided they want to include a Selectmen Liaison on this Committee. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to amend the Charge of the Community center Advisory Committee to include a Selectmen Liaison. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to appoint Mary Ellen Alessandro, Elizabeth Borghesani, Michelle Ciccolo, Harry Forsdick, Laura Hussong, Florence Koplow and Leslie Zales to the Community Center Advisory Committee. Community Farming Committee Ms. Mauger read an email from Mr. Kanter that he asked be part of the minutes: “Thanks for the telephone message about the addition which, I gather, is to make it read ‘including funding recommendations for facility upgrades and in support of the committee's work’. That, however, doesn't achieve the explicit exclusion that I believe is applicable and 67-378 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 3, 2013 consistent with the understanding, all along, regarding there would be no Town funding (operating or capital) toward the entity operating the community farming on the Busa Farm property. (The Charge already excludes the community gardens under the jurisdiction of the Conservation Commission.) “While I don't know what community farming other than on the Busa Farm property would fall under the committee's charge, and as I am not asking that the exclusion go beyond that done on the Busa Farm property, if "facility upgrades" or even operating support might be applicable at those other such community farming endeavors, then I recommend the addition read "including funding recommendations for facility operations or upgrades (excluding either for the Busa Farm property) and in support of the committee's work". “I welcomed that the Board deferred approval of the subject charge in response to my concerns and appreciate the Board's further consideration of the above. As I can't attend this evening's meeting of the Board, and regardless of the Board's decision, I ask that this e-mail be made part of the record of that meeting as if I had presented it--either spoken or in hardcopy--during that meeting. “P.S. During the Board's discussion of the draft RFP for proposals to operating the community farm on the Busa Farm property, I asked that the RFP include an explicit statement that the Town would not provide any financial support to the operation to make it a matter of record for the proposers. I haven't checked whether that was done. As I explained at the time, I made that request for the very same reason I'm making this request regarding the subject Charge.” The Selectmen reviewed Mr. Kanter’s requested changes and agreed it should not be included in the charge. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to adopt the charge of the Community Farming Committee, as proposed, and designate members as Special Municipal Employees. Housing Partnership Board Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to accept the resignation of Chris Kluchman from the Housing Partnership Board, effective immediately. Future Meetings The Selectmen will schedule meetings for July 1, 2013, July 29, 2013, August 26, 2013, September 9, 2013, September 23, 2013 and October 7, 2013.

Chairman Mauger, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Manz and Mr. Pato; Mr. Valente, Town Manager; and Ms. Chabot, Assistant to the Executive Clerk, were present. Public Comment Mr. Kanter, Town Meeting Member for Precinct 7, read a statement asking the Board to declare that no Town funding – operating or capital - would be proposed by the Selectmen in support of community farming at the Busa Farm property. Ms. Mauger will put this issue on an upcoming meeting agenda. Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports Mr. Pato, as liaison to the Sustainable Lexington Committee, reported that the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) has made some modifications in the solar incentive programs in a surprise announcement that the Administration’s goal was met early. The Governor has set a new goal for 2020 but the new program will have lower and rapidly declining economic incentives. This has direct implications for the Solar Panel RFP that is being developed by the Town. The Sustainable Lexington Committee would like to come before the Board in the near future to explore this in more detail. Ms. Mauger will put this item on an upcoming meeting agenda. Mr. Manz reported that members of the Board attended the Lexington High School graduation ceremony and were reminded of why the Town spends as much as it does on the schools. The Selectmen were greatly impressed as always, and thank the teachers, staff and all those who support the schools. Public Hearing: Grant of Location – Hanscom AFB Communications Mr. Hadley Director of Public Works, reported that the Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, has reviewed the petition, plan and order for MSO Tech, Inc., to install approximately 21,424+ feet of conduit from Spring Street at Route 2, to Spring Street at Marrett Road, to Marrett Road at Massachusetts Avenue, to Massachusetts Avenue at Wood Street, to Wood Street at Hartwell Avenue, 700 feet to a new communication handhole on Hartwell Avenue to bring fiber optics cable communications to Hanscom Air Force Base. A public hearing is required and abutters were notified. The contractor who performs the excavation will be required to obtain a street opening permit. Since the petition appears to be in order the DPW recommends that approval be granted. 67-382 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 10, 2013 Mr. Livsey, Town Engineer, provided additional information in a letter to Mr. Wilson of MSO Tech Inc., detailing comments to be addressed on the plans and standards to be complied with during construction, including standards for excavation and restoration work, work hours, and notifying abutters. Mr. Wilson, MSO Tech. Inc., was at the meeting to answer questions from the public and from the Board. In response to questions from the Board, he explained that the project updates and enhances communications at Hanscom Air Force Base. The order for this work comes from Washington, DC. The project will start as soon as possible and is scheduled to be completed st October 1 . Once work begins along a particular length of the project then that part of the project will be worked on until completed. Mr. Kline, 34 Spring Street, feels as though Spring Street and area streets are being dug up all the time. Mr. Kline wondered if an empty conduit could be put in while there is an open trench there so the Town would not have to dig a trench every time they want to do work. Mr. Wilson could put something extra in to assist with utilities at no cost and turn it over as property to the Town. Ms. Mauger asked Mr. Valente to work with the DPW to see if the Town can take advantage of Mr. Wilson’s offer. In response to Mr. Roffi, 259 Wood Street, Mr. Wilson explained why an alternate route for this project would not work. He also described the details of restoring the sidewalks, road and plantings when the work is completed. Ms. McKenna, Chair of the Tourism Committee, expressed concerns about the work impacting the Liberty Ride tour bus, and access to hotels and the historic district during the busy tourism season. Residents may come in to the Engineering Division to review more detailed plans and contact Mr. Livsey 781- 274-8305 with any concerns or problems. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the petition of MSO Tech to construct, and a location for a line of conduits and manholes with the necessary wires and cables therein to be located under the surface of Hartwell Ave., Wood Street., Mass. Ave., and Spring Street. Directional bore or trench/place (2) 1 ½ inch conduits each with fiber optic cable starting from existing communication handhole, located 325 feet Northwest of Rte. 2/ Concord Turnpike and Spring Street intersection, then running Northeast along Spring Street then running west along Marrett Road, then running Northeast along Massachusetts Avenue, then running North along Wood Street, then running West along Hartwell Ave., for approximately 700 feet and the placement of a new communication handhole on the South side of Hartwell Ave. Sign Letter of Support for MBTA Grant Ms. Rebecchi, Transportation Coordinator, presented the request that the Board send a letter to urge the MBTA to continue support of Lexpress under the Suburban Transportation Grant Program. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to send a letter to Richard Davey, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, in support of the MBTA Suburban Transportation Grant. 67-383 Selectmen’s Meeting – June 10, 2013 UniQure TIF Agreement/Approve Economic Opportunity Area for 113 Hartwell Ave. Mr. Valente presented the tentative Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreement reached with UniQure for 113 Hartwell Avenue. This is a ten year TIF that has been negotiated for approximately $286,000. Most of the value to UniQure is in the first 4 years. If this were to be approved by the Selectmen and Town Meeting the increase in value for the Town in terms of tax revenue over the ten years would be $1,250,000. Mr. Valente feels that this is an appropriate TIF to bring to Town Meeting and explained that about 7 years ago the Town started in a process to try to rejuvenate Hartwell Avenue. This is the type of industry the Town is looking to see on Hartwell Avenue; UniQure is interested in a long term lease; and in approximately five years, UniQure is looking to expand. As part of this process the Board is required to designate 113 Hartwell Avenue as an Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) and the TIF applies to this specific parcel.The Board was provided with a draft of the EOA Application and Mr. Valente went over some of the language in the agreement. Mr. Valente will make the TIF spreadsheet and the EOA application available on the Town website and a link to the TMMA listserv. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the 113 Hartwell Avenue Economic Opportunity Area (EOA), pursuant to MGL c. 23A, Section 3E, and approve the submission of an application for the approval of the 113 Hartwell Avenue EOA to the Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council (EACC). Public Works Projects Update Mr. Hadley, Director of Public Works, Mr. Livsey Town Engineer, and Mr. Pinsonneault, Manager of Operations reviewed the DPW construction projects for the upcoming season. There are about 45 projects that the DPW is currently involved with, funded by various sources: the tax levy, enterprise funds, community preservation funds, revolving funds, grant funds, and state and federal funds. With regard to the Hartwell Avenue Organics Facility, Mr. Hadley reported that the draft RFP was developed and distributed to boards and committees for review and comment. The RFP team met with various boards and committees to receive input. Public meetings have been scheduled to receive community feedback, June 13 and June 20, 2013. Mr. Kelley would like the draft RFP to be available to the public before the hearings on June 13 and June 20. Ms. Mauger will put this issue on a subsequent Selectmen’s Meeting agenda for discussion.

Mr. Valente reviewed where we are in negotiating a TIF with UniQure.

The group discussed how best to present the proposed TIF to Town Meeting. Mr. Canale stated that to get broad support from the Planning Board they would like the Selectmen to set a goal to have a TIF policy in place by a certain date. They also request that the Selectmen work toward a 5-year plan rather than year-by-year for TIF requests. ES7-117 Executive Session – June 3, 2012 The Selectmen feel the policy is that no TIF be given that is over 20% and that each case be discussed individually when it comes up. There has to be a management approach that looks at the area being considered for a TIF and how the company fits into that area. Mr. Canale would like to discuss a TIF policy at Goal Setting.Ms. Mauger suggested that the Planning Board provide the Selectmen with a suggested policy or ideas for a policy.

Mr. Valente and Ms. Mauger updated the Board on the tonal noise issue at the Shire 300 Building. Shire is concerned they will not be able to fix the tonal issue. Shire is looking for answers before they decide whether to build the 100 building. The Selectmen feel the noise consultants from the Town and Shire should try to figure out what is causing the tonal noise to satisfy the neighbors who are affected. The Town should tell Shire that they appreciate their effort in trying to figure out the tonal noise. Ms. Mauger and Mr. Valente will decide how and who should get back to Shire (Mr. Chambrone).
