7:20 - The meeting was called to order— 201 Bedford St., Room 221
1. West View Cemetery—Justin Humphreys & Robert Jefferies (TBA Architects), Dave Pinsonneault
(Director of Public Works), Chris Filadoro (Lexington Public Grounds Superintendent)
TBA discussed design plan for a new West View Cemetery Facility. The plan proposed new
construction for the building in a new location of the cemetery, and demolition of the existing facility.
• Currently the Cemetery staff consists of three full time maintenance employees and one
administrative employee. Additional staff is used for burial activities.
• The existing building does not have a segregated area for the public/families for private
matters. It is currently combined with work area space.
• The new building is to be located at the cemetery entrance off Westview Street. The current
location would be demolished and used for additional burial space.
• The proposed building plan incorporates private space for families to meet. Administration
offices, meeting room, lunch room, & locker rooms were also shown. A separate outdoor
pavilion area was shown.
• A four bay maintenance garage is also part of the design, with a maintenance yard for
storing landscape materials.
The new site location does not currently have infrastructure services. Electric, sewer and water
would need to be brought in.
PBC asked about heating. DPW stated VRF in the administrative areas, and gas units in the garage
area. The building is being designed with solar in mind.
PBC stated the building lends more to an electric facility. LEED analysis, sustainability, and parking
were all discussed. Only having one public bathroom was a concern.
David Kanter of the Capital Expenditures Committee (CEC) informed PBC that CEC voted to defer
this project. There are too many variables, but they are open to hearing further options at Town
Meeting.
A Construction Cost Estimate Summary was reviewed. Questions regarding the breakdown of
costs, format, and contingencies were discussed. Landscaping cost discussed.

2. Sustainability Discussion —Jon Himmel (PBC , Jill Hai(Board of Selectmen), Kate Colburn
(School Committee)
Jon gave an overview of the current draft of the Sustainability Policy. A Sustainability Procedure was
mentioned as a document to be developed.
Sustainability Design Revision 1 was discussed. It was suggested the ten items under"Section II
Applications" be rearranged moving some of the content to the beginning of the section.
The design selection process was discussed.
The process was discussed. There was considerable discussion regarding the front end loading of
engineering services into the very early stages of design to further enhance sustainability. It was
observed that the sustainable objectives need to be firmly in place no later than the middle of the
Design Development phase. The LEED Lexington Checklist was discuss; the checklist will serve not
only the designers but also the people tasked with observing and managing the process.
It was suggested that a Task by Phase by Discipline Matrix might be beneficial for explaining the
activities involved..
Motion to adjourn was made and seconded: Meeting adjourned at 9:50pm.
