SELECTMEN'S MEETING
Monday, March 18, 2019
A meeting of the Lexington Board of Selectmen was called to order at 7:00 p.m. on Monday,
March 18, 2019 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room of the Town Office Building. Present were
Selectmen Ms. Barry, Chair; Mr. Pato; Mr. Lucente; Ms. Hai; and Mr. Sandeen. Also present
were Mr. Malloy, Town Manager; Ms. Axtell, Assistant Town Manager; and Ms. Siebert,
Recording Secretary.
Ms. Barry reported that the Lexington Interfaith Clergy Association (LICA) has indicated it will
hold a service to honor and mourn the 50 people slain at two mosques in Christchurch, New
Zealand. Details of the service will be shared with the community once they are available. On
behalf of the Selectmen, Ms. Barry emphasized that all are welcome and safe in Lexington.
Public Comments
Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue, asked if progress has been made on interim improvements to
crosswalk lighting on Massachusetts Avenue prior to commencement of the proposed Center
Streetscape project. Mr. Malloy reported that a streetlighting update about will be provided at a
future meeting.
Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports
Ms. Barry:
The 2018 Annual Report is now available. Copies will be available in the lobby of the
Cary Memorial Building during Annual Town Meeting as well as at the Town Office
Building, Cary Library, and the Community Center. Ms. Barry thanked the new Chair of
the Town Report Committee, Nancy Cowan, and noted that the Report is dedicated to
former Selectmen’s Office Executive Clerk, Lynne Arden Pease.
Mr. Lucente:
Mr. Lucente and Mr. Pato attended a community forum about planning for an age-
friendly future in Lexington that was held on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. A second forum
is scheduled for March 25, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at the Community Center.
Mr. Sandeen:
Mr. Sandeen has been asked by the Boston City Council to testify about Net Zero
buildings on Thursday, March 21, 2019.
Mr. Pato:
Mr. Pato reported that he has been contacted by residents who experienced a near-
accident while crossing Massachusetts Avenue in a crosswalk in the Center.
Page 2 of 11
Subsequently, he renewed a request to the Traffic Safety Group via the Town Manager to
study whether reducing the speed limit in the Center to 20 mph would be appropriate.
Through the Town Manager, Mr. Pato has conveyed a request to the Parking
Management Group to study whether a senior citizen parking program might be feasible.
As liaison to Sustainable Lexington and to the Economic Development Advisory
Committee, Mr. Pato asked the Selectmen to approve the two groups working
collaboratively to develop a possible plan to adopt a solar ordinance for commercial
construction, similar to what the Town of Watertown has recently adopted. Board
members were amenable for the committees to work together.
The International Energy Conservation Code, which sets a baseline for the State’s
Building Code, is going to be revised. In the past, the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council (MAPC) and the Sierra Club have encouraged communities to sign up to
review/comment on update drafts and to vote on the IECC’s recommendations. The
Selectmen and other elected/appointed entities are eligible to participate. The deadline to
sign up is March 29, 2019.
Ms. Hai:
Ms. Hai and Mr. Pato will attend the MAPC’s “Where Do We Go from Here”
transportation seminar scheduled for April 4, 2019.
Traffic Regulation: Freemont Street at Cedar Street and Sherburne Road
Sheila Page, Assistant Planner, spoke on behalf of the Transportation Safety Group (TSG) to ask
approval to install two stop signs on Freemont Street at Cedar Street and one yield sign on
Sherburne Road.
After viewing the proposed sign positions and understanding how they would improve safety, the
Selectmen agreed with TSG’s recommendations.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve and sign the
Traffic Rules and Orders for a stop sign on Freemont Street northeast bound at Cedar Street; a
stop sign on Freemont Street southwest bound at Cedar Street; and a yield sign south bound at
Sherburne Road.
Superintendent of Schools—Update Regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Dr. Julie Hackett, Superintendent of Schools, presented a summary of the Lexington Schools’
Administrative Council position paper entitled, "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Our Call to
Action." The 40-page paper points to evidence of inequity across many areas and for multiple
groups in the school system; it announces a plan to embark on a comprehensive, inclusive, and
transparent process to identify, address, and monitor progress toward creating an equitable
School environment. The final draft of the paper will be integrated into the future Strategic Plan
of the Lexington Public Schools.
Page 3 of 11
Dr. Hackett stated that Lexington’s disparities are systemic, although not unique; the issues the
report addresses occur nationwide. In Lexington’s case, the number of overall disciplinary
actions/suspensions is small but statistical findings show that students of color are four times
more likely to experience disciplinary action and students with disabilities are 2.5 times more
likely. Black students are also less likely to enroll in AP classes than their white or Asian peers.
Over the course of the Council’s discussions, the scope of the work expanded to include students
who identify as LGBTQ+. For this cohort, the latest “Youth at Risk Survey” indicates that
suicidal ideation occurs in 56.1% of LGBTQ+ students, compared to 35.9% of heterosexual
students.
Action items the Council recommends include: breaking out of established systemic “norms”;
adopting a larger toolbox of discretionary discipline approaches; improving understanding of
cultural differences; providing mandatory professional development in areas like implicit bias
training; examining leadership perceptions; conducting an “equity audit” with outside evaluators;
establishing community groups to broaden the conversation and to provide feedback; and
development of better methods to improve minority faculty/staff recruitment and retention.
Ms. Hai commended Dr. Hackett’s open attitude and decisive action and asked if Implicit Bias
training would be ongoing. Dr. Hackett said some professional development options would be
mandatory and the administration will determine what those are. She reported that the teachers’
union is in accord with this approach.
Ms. Hai asked what might be learned from a recent inclusion/diversity study conducted by the
Weston Schools. Dr. Hackett said that common reporting and coding structures are critical to
understanding a district’s strengths and weaknesses. Also, she noted that restorative practices
should be considered as alternatives to conventional disciplinary methods.
Mr. Pato said it is important to share the Council’s findings and efforts with the Town’s
Diversity Task Force. Dr. Hackett said that looking together at policies, procedures, and
practices is essential to long-term progress.
Ms. Barry asked how these efforts will be communicated to the broader community and to
students. Dr. Hackett said draft communication is being finalized for wide distribution; there will
be two additional newsletters between now and the end of the school year that will include action
regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. Next year, three newsletters will be mailed to all
residents. Dr. Hackett agreed that more can be done to communicate with the student population.
Mr. Lucente asked if school-related people other than teachers and administrators will also
receive anti-bias training. Dr. Hackett reported that a Parent Academy offering on diversity has
been discussed and that input teams will involve a multitude of community stakeholders.
Mr. Sandeen said he was particularly impressed that the Council had followed the data and
widened the scope of the effort to include LGBTQ+ students who experience a higher incidence
of bullying and suicide ideation. Dr. Hackett reported that the district has added a new position in
the FY20 budget to directly address equity and provide student support.

David Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting member, agreed that these matters are important and
hoped financial limitations would not hobble response to the issues. Dr. Hackett assured Mr.
Kanter that the district has resources to dedicate toward the effort.
University of Massachusetts Boston—Update Regarding Age-Friendly Initiative
Hemali Shah, Senior Services Coordinator; and Sue Berger, Lead Facilitator for the “Lexington
for All Ages” project/Center for Social & Demographic Research on Aging Gerontology
Institute University of Massachusetts Boston, presented age-friendly community considerations
based on a 2006 World Health Organization effort to help communities prepare for rapid
population aging, urbanization, and changing trends. Demographically, Lexington’s population
is slightly older than the population of the rest of the state; that trend is expected to continue.
The WHO age-friendly initiative is a five-year process in which an assessment of need is done;
an action plan is developed; and change is implemented based on the plan. The eight domains of
the World Health Organization age-friendly community framework are: housing; social
participation; respect and social inclusion; civic participation and employment; communication
and information; community support and health services; outdoor space and buildings; and
transportation.
The process in Lexington began during last year. In January 2019, a stakeholder focus group
took place that included community organization leaders; a community forum was held at which
75 residents participated and one more forum will take place on March 25, 2019. A survey will
be developed and sent out to a random sampling of 3000 residents aged 50 or older. Focus
groups about specific topics will take place in September/October 2019 and the preliminary
document will be reviewed in advance of its release in November/December.
Ms. Hai asked if solutions that have worked in other towns can be shared as many communities
in the region share the same challenges. Ms. Berger agree that many issues overlap between
towns and age-friendly recommendations can be similar; however, communities may have
distinct challenges that are not applicable.
Mr. Pato asked Ms. Berger and Ms. Shah to share the UMASS age data with the Comprehensive
Plan Committee as it differs with respect to the extent of Lexington’s growing elder population.
Ms. Berger reported that UMASS is delving into the Comprehensive Plan Committee’s
projections to understand why the numbers differ.
Ms. Barry asked how the 3000 sample residents would be chosen for the survey. Ms. Berger said
that the names will be pulled from the Town mailing list. Paper surveys will be mailed because
they are more likely to be completed but they can be also be submitted online if desired.
Mr. Lucente noted that methods of getting people from one place to another is a passionate issue
in Lexington. He believes that the new Public Information Officer will help residents become
aware of what forms of transportation, and other services, are available. Ms. Berger said there
will be a question on the survey about how people get their information.
Mr. Sandeen agreed that looking at what works in other towns is useful. He hopes some
improvements can be implemented quickly to serve the elder population as soon as possible.

2019 Annual Town Meeting
Update Article 14L—Community Preservation Act (CPA) Debt Service
Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance, presented the future debt service for the
CPA fund and the projected revenues for FY20-FY27. Currently, there are three projects with
fully-issued bonds: Wright Farm, Marrett Road Purchase, and the Cary Memorial Building.
None of these bonds have terms over ten years so they cannot be paid down more rapidly. A
fourth project, the Center Track, was authorized in 2018 but has not been bonded as yet; Ms.
Kosnoff said the plan, which could be changed, has been to issue short-term Bond Anticipation
Notes (BANs) for this project and pay the debt off in three large increments.
The Community Preservation Committee has determined that it would not borrow any more
funds to support projects and elected to pay cash until the debt service is less than half of new
revenue. Ms. Kosnoff noted that a substantial amount of the debt for the next three years comes
from the Center track project’s three large payments. If the plan is kept to proceed in this
fashion, the FY23 debt service as a percentage of total revenue will drop to 30% from a high of
54% in FY20. Minus the Center Track debt, which has not yet been issued, the CPC’s total FY20
debt obligation is $10,398,500.
Ms. Hai asked if cash could be used for the first year of the Center Track project costs, rather
than borrowing. Ms. Kosnoff reported that the CPC reached a consensus not to spend down the
cash on hand to maintain the flexibility to fund other anticipated projects. Mr. Pato added that the
CPC unanimously voted to maintain the debt service plan as conceived because two projects that
had been removed from the original list, the Intermunicipal Athletic Fields Agreement with
Minuteman High School and a land purchase, might still move ahead at a later date.
Ms. Hai noted that the marginal cost of the BANs is de minimus; Ms. Kosnoff concurred.
Mr. Lucente asked what percentage of State match was used to calculate the debt service. Ms.
Kosnoff said the preliminary guidance issued by the State’s Department of Revenue regarding
the FY20 match was 11.57% for the first round of funding; Since Lexington is eligible for
additional rounds because it has approved the full 3% surcharge, a higher percentage is likely at
the end of the budget deliberations, but the final percentage is unknown.
Mr. Sandeen asked if it would be possible in the future to opt for a bond that is pre-payable to
provide flexible options. Ms. Kosnoff said this is possible but might have a negative effect on the
interest rate available.
David Kanter, Capital Expenditures Committee, asked if Bond Counsel has deemed the language
of Article 14L broad enough to allow for the project to be paid for in cash instead of by
borrowing. Ms. Kosnoff reported that Bond Counsel believes the project would have to be re-
voted, specifying the use of cash. Mr. Kanter said he believes future articles should be worded in
such a way as to provide maximum flexibility with regard to payment methods.
Page 6 of 11
Bob Pressman, Community Preservation Committee, reported that he did not vote to paydown
the track project with cash because he wanted the CPC to retain the ability to move on the
Minuteman High School Athletic Fields project, something he considers to be a high priority.
The CPC also has a policy of retaining $2M in unrestricted funds; if the track is paid for with
cash from the unrestricted funds, it would deplete that reserve.
Update Article 16F—Automatic Meter Reading
In response to a question posed at the last Selectmen’s meeting, Mr. Malloy reported that the cost
of replacing meters with the same kind of meters used currently would be about $2M; the net
difference of switching to AMR meters is $3.9M. Part of the additional expense is for the system
itself. The cost of issuing 4 water bills per year is $35,200 rather than $17,600 for 2 water bills
per year.
Mr. Pinsonneault, DPW Director, said the expected lifespan of the new meters is 15 years and
the manufacturer’s warranty exactly covers that time period.
David Kanter, Capital Expenditures Committee, asked whether the 3–4 antenna locations have
been identified. Mr. Pinsonneault said the specifics of which Town-owned properties the
antennas will be mounted on will be determined if the project goes forward.
Update Article 20G—Westview Cemetery Facility Construction
Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance, presented an update on the financing
model for the $2.8M Westview Cemetery project. Debt service funding would come from 45%
of the revenue from grave site sales; revenue from burial fees that will increase 2.5% annually.
Over time the tax levy would be tapped for a total of $115,213 when the Cemetery Fund has
been exhausted and fees do not cover debt service. However, Ms. Kosnoff believes revenues
might be higher than projected and this would absorb some of the difference.
Ms. Barry asked if Green Burial fees have been determined. Mr. Pinsonneault reported that they
would probably be similar to conventional burial fees.
Mr. Lucente asked if there are ways that the principal of the Perpetual Care fund is allowed to be
used. Ms. Kosnoff will ask the Trustees of the Public Trust what the rules are for that fund.
Mr. Sandeen asked if additional burial plot land will become available once the new building is
built on a different site from the current facility. Mr. Pinsonneault said there is some potential for
that, although all lots are priced the same.
David Kanter, Capital Expenditures Committee, asked if using the Cemetery Fund in this way
will create a deficit elsewhere in the budget. Ms. Kosnoff said her research shows that the Fund
has not been used in the last 10 years; purchase of land to expand the cemetery may have been
the purpose behind establishing the Fund. Mr. Pinsonneault believes grave space is adequate for
the next 20 years.

Update Financial Articles 11, 21, 22, 26
Article 11-Appropriate FY2020 Operating Budget: Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager
for Finance, presented an informational crosswalk of changes to the FY2020 Operational Budget
since the Brown Book version was published. A revised electronic version of the changes will be
posted on the Town website.
Ms. Barry noted that the reported $280,000 decrease in the Center Streetscape project appears in
the crosswalk as $172,150. Ms. Kosnoff reported that Finance and the DPW had been using
different full project totals; this has been amended. The $172,150 figure is correct. Mr.
Pinsonnault said he will clarify the number with Town Meeting members.
Article 21-Rescinding Prior Borrowing Authorizations: Ms. Kosnoff said the article asks to
rescind five borrowing authorizations for funds that are no longer needed. Total recissions are
$1,130,848.00.
Article 22- Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Funds: This article deals with
Center Improvement District Fund revenue derived from the bikeshare program; withdrawal and
additions to the Capital Stabilization Fund; and two placeholders for the Traffic Mitigation and
Transportation Demand funds.
Article 26-Amend FY2019 Operating, Enterprise, and CPA Budgets (including Revolving
Funds): this article deals with the Regional Cache for Hartwell Avenue facility and MWRA
Wastewater Assessment.
