Discussion of Data and Lexington Office of Public Health COVID-19 Activities:
There was 2 new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Lexington this past week. In addition, there
were 1 new probable cases this week. One previous positive case reported to Lexington is not a
Lexington resident and was transferred to the correct jurisdiction from MDPH. At this time there
are a total of 6 active cases in Lexington that are in isolation until recovery. There have been no
fatalities this week.
Over the past 14 days, MDPH reported 2076 Lexington residents have been tested for COVID-
19 with analysis by PCR. Of those residents tested, the state reported less than 9 individuals
(0.34%)were confirmed positive. To better inform local decision making,the state has
released an interactive color coded map with standardized daily incidence rates averaged
over the previous 14 days. The map can be found at the following link:
Standardized rates (per
......................p..........6................................................... p .................................... ,...., p
100,000) for Lexington and the 8 communities geographically adjacent to Lexington have
been added to the table on page 7 of this report.
Long Term Care Facilities and Assisted Living Facilities
On June 30, MPDH released a new testing surveillance plan for LTCF. From July 1 through July
19th, LTCF will need to test all previously negative or previously untested staff to establish a
baseline.
• If there are no positive staff found in the initial baseline testing, the LTCF will need to
perform staff testing every two weeks (either a representative sample of 30% of staff, or
100% of staff, depending on current regional disease data).
• If the initial baseline testing reveals one or more positive staff, testing of all staff will
occur weekly_until there are no new positive staff for two consecutive weeks. LTCF will
also conduct one-time retesting of all previously negative residents to identify any new
resident cases and to assist in proper cohorting. After weekly testing of all staff reveals no
new positive staff for two consecutive weeks, staff testing will revert to once every two
weeks. Again, whether all staff or a representative sample of staff will be tested will be
dependent on regional disease data. Please see attached memo for more information
On July 30th, MDPH released further guidance allowing for enhanced visitation for family
members under specific circumstances, and on August 171h MDPH further clarified their LTCF
surveillance testing program.

Memorandum www.mass.gov/dph
TO: Long-Term Care Facilities
FROM: Elizabeth Daake Kelley,MPH,MBA,Director
Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality
SUBJECT: September Update to Caring for Long-Term Care Residents during the COVID-19 Emergency
DATE: September 15,2020
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health(DPH)recognizes that providing care for individuals seeping
treatment for Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)may prove to be especially challenging for health care
practitioners and facilities. As part of ongoing statewide preparations and to address the increase in COVID-19
cases,DPH is issuing this memorandum to long-term care facilities with recommendations for admitting residents
and caring for residents with presumed or confirmed COVID-19 to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.This
update replaces the July 30 version and now includes a revised personal protective equipment chart in Appendix A.
All rest homes and nursing homes must be prepared to care for COVID-19 positive residents.Residents infected
with COVID-19 may vary in severity from lack of symptoms to mild or severe symptoms. Symptoms may be mild
and not require transfer to a hospital. All facilities are expected to follow the infection prevention and control
practices recommended by DPH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).
The following recommendations are consistent with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services(CMS)guidance
released on April 2,2020,which can be found here: ht ..s w C m..s_e ov/files/docu ent/4-220covid 19 Iong ter
: .:::::: aci.l.ity:::::.guidance.pdf.
Screening of All Individuals
Long-term care facilities should be screening all individuals entering the facility,including healthcare personnel and
visitors,for symptoms on a daily basis.In accordance with previously issued guidance,every individual regardless
of reason for entering a long-term care facility should be asked about COVID-19 symptoms and must also have their
temperature checked by another individual.
Long-term care facility personnel must be screened for symptoms at the beginning of every shift.If long-term care
facility personnel were screened at the beginning of their shift and must then leave the facility and return during that
shift,the long-term care facility personnel do not need to be rescreened upon re-entry to the facility.
Residents should be asked about COVID-19 symptoms and must have their temperatures checked a minimum of
two times per day.
13
Use of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)
Long-term care facilities should ensure all staff are using appropriate PPE when they are interacting with residents,
to the extent PPE is available and in alignment with DPH and CDC guidance on conservation of PPE.All long-term
care facility personnel should wear a facemask while they are in the facility.
Full PPE,including N95 respirator or,if not available,facemask,eye protection,gloves and gown, should be worn
per DPH and CDC guidelines for the care of any resident with known or suspected COVID-19 per CDC guidance on
conservation of PPE.If any residents admitted for longer than fourteen days or staff are confirmed to be COVID-19
positive within the past fourteen days,healthcare personnel should wear additional PPE for the care of all residents,
except COVID-19 recovered residents.Appendix A provides PPE guidance,based upon the resident's COVID-19
status.
When possible,all long-term care facility residents,whether they have COVID-19 symptoms or not,should cover
their noses and mouths any time they leave their room and when they are in their room and staff are present. Such
face coverings can include cloth and non-medical masks.
Staffin
DPH requires long-term care facilities to implement the following staffing recommendations to mitigate the risk of
transmission within facilities.
• Ensure all staff can recognize the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and that a procedure is in place for
alerting the nurse responsible for the resident's care.
• Create separate staffing teams that are dedicated for residents that are COVID-I 9-positive.
• Exercise consistent assignments of staff to residents regardless of symptoms or COVID-19 status.This
practice can help with detection of emerging condition changes.
• As much as possible, staff should not work across units or floors.
• Minimize the number of staff caring for each resident.
• Limit staffs onsite work to only one facility,whenever possible.
Separation of COVID-19 Positive Residents
Long-term care facilities must separate residents who are COVID-19 positive from residents who do not have
COVID-19 or who have an unknown COVID-19 status. Whenever possible,long-term care facilities must establish
a separate,dedicated wing or unit(hereafter"dedicated space")within the facility to care for COVID-19 positive
residents.Facilities with dedicated COVID-19 space must be capable of maintaining strict infection control practices
and testing protocols.Facilities must make every effort to have separate staffing teams for COVID-19-positive and
COVID-19-negative residents
When possible,a long-term care facility should establish designated space, such as a room at the end of a unit or
hallway or a dedicated unit or wing within the facility to care for recovered residents who tested positive for
COVID-19,cared for in the dedicated space for fourteen days and are no longer exhibiting any symptoms of
COVID-19. Staff are no longer required to use full PPE,only facemasks,when caring for such recovered residents.
Updated Admissions
When a long-term care facility resident is transferred from a long-term care facility to a hospital for evaluation of
any condition,including but not limited to,COVID-19 care,each long-term care facility must accept the resident's
return to the facility when the resident no longer requires hospital level of care.
14
Long-term care facilities shall not condition admission or return to the facility on COVID-19 testing or COVID-19
test results.If a test is not performed before hospital discharge,the long-term care facility should test the resident
upon admission,if a test is available.
Awaiting the test results should not delay an individual's discharge from the hospital to the long-term care facility.
Newly admitted or readmitted residents to a long-term care facility should be quarantined in a private room or
dedicated quarantine space and monitored for symptoms of COVID-19 for fourteen days after admission to the
facility and should be cared for using all recommended COVID-19 PPE.If a resident receives a positive COVID-19
test result during the fourteen days of quarantine,the resident should be moved to a dedicated COVID-19 space.
Residents who are readmitted after less than 24 hours in a hospital do not need to be quarantined upon return.
Nursing Homes with Dedicated COVID-19 Space
Whenever possible,hospitalized patients who are confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 and require skilled
nursing level of care should be admitted to a facility with a dedicated COVID-19 space.
DPH continues to work with state,federal and local partners on the outbreak of novel Coronavirus 2019(COVID-
19),caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2,and we continue to appreciate the essential role you have in responding to
this evolving situation.
DPH strongly encourages all nursing homes in Massachusetts to monitor the Centers for Medicare&Medicaid
Services(CMS)website and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)website for up-to-date
information and resources:

RE: Updates to Long-Term Care Surveillance Testing
A. Overview
This memorandum applies to all long-term care settings including nursing homes,rest homes and assisted
living residences(ALRs). Compliance with the testing program is required in nursing homes and rest
homes. Compliance with the testing program is recommended in ALRs.
B. New Baseline Staff Testing
To protect the health and safety of long-term care residents and staff against the spread of COVID-19 all
long-term care settings should conduct new baseline testing of staff no later than July 19, 2020,and adopt
a surveillance testing program based on the results of the baseline staff testing, as outlined below.
This testing program may be updated as more is learned about the COVID-19 virus.
C. Surveillance Testing Program
1. No New Positive COVID-19 Cases from Baseline Staff Testing
If the new baseline testing results indicate there are no positive COVID-19 staff and the regional
transmission rate for the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)region in which the long-term care
provider(hereafter"provider")is located is below 40 cases per 100,000 residents as a 7-day rolling
average,the provider should conduct testing every two weeks on 30%of its staff. The staff to be
included for testing should be a representative sample from all shifts and varying staff positions. If the
ongoing surveillance testing indicate there are positive COVID-19 staff member(s),the provider
should follow the surveillance testing program outlined below for"New Positive COVID-19 Cases
from Baseline Staff Testing"beginning the next full week.
If the new baseline testing results indicate there are no positive COVID-19 staff and the regional
transmission rate for the EMS region in which the provider is located is at or above 40 cases per
100,000 residents as a 7 day rolling average,the provider should conduct testing every 2 weeks on all
of its staff. If the ongoing surveillance testing indicate there are positive COVID-19 staff member(s),
the provider should follow the surveillance testing program outlined below for"New Positive
COVID-19 Cases from Baseline Staff Testing"beginning the next full week.

h1l id 1.9 weeld-v nublic health
M.olt.............
2. New Positive COVID-19 Cases from Baseline Staff Testing
If the new baseline staff testing results indicate there are positive COVID-19 staff member(s),the
provider should conduct weekly testing of all staff until the testing results in no new positive COVID-
19 staff for 14 days. Once testing results in no new positive COVID-19 staff for 14 days,the provider
should follow the surveillance testing program outlined above for"No New Positive COVID-19
Cases from Baseline Staff Testing"beginning the next full week.
Additionally, if the new baseline staff testing results indicate a positive COVID-staff member(s)the
provider should conduct one-time re-testing of all residents to ensure there are no resident cases and
to assist in proper cohorting of residents.
During surveillance testing, if a resident or staff tests positive for COVID-19 or exhibits symptoms of
COVID-19,the provider should test any resident or staff close contacts of the positive or symptomatic
resident or staff. For purposes of this memorandum, close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of
someone who has COVID-19, for at 10-15 minutes,while they were symptomatic or within the 48 hours
before symptom onset or,if asymptomatic,the 48 hours before the test was completed to the 10 days after
the test was completed. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or
difficulty breathing, fatigue,muscle or body aches,headache,new loss of taste or smell, sore throat,
congestion or runny nose,nausea or vomiting,or diarrhea.
D. Previously Positive Individuals Cleared from Isolation:
Individuals previously diagnosed with COVID-19 infection confirmed by molecular diagnostic testing
may continue to have PCR detection of viral RNA for several weeks. This does not correlate with the
presence or transmissibility of live virus.
Accordingly, for the purposes of the surveillance testing program,recovered or previously COVID-19
positive residents and staff do not need to be re-tested;however, it is clinically recommended for
individuals previously diagnosed with COVID-19 to be retested under the following circumstance:
i. Individuals who were previously diagnosed with COVID-19,
and who develop clinically compatible symptoms, may
warrant being retested if they are more than 3 months past
their release from isolation and an alternate etiology cannot
be identified by a provider. If viral RNA is detected by PCR
testing,the patient should be isolated and considered to be
re-infected.
ii. Individuals who were previously diagnosed with COVID-19
and who are identified as a close contact of a confirmed case
should be subject to quarantine if they are more than 3
months from their release from isolation. These individuals
may quarantine in place.
19
E. Staff Definition:
For purposes of conducting baseline testing and implementing a surveillance testing program and, in
accordance with CMS and CDC guidance, long-term care staff includes all persons,paid or unpaid,
working or volunteering at the long-term care setting's physical location and with whom the facility has a
contractual agreement or relationship,who have the potential for exposure to residents or to infectious
materials, including body substances,contaminated medical supplies and equipment, contaminated
environmental surfaces, or contaminated air. Staff includes,but is not limited to,physicians,nurses,
nursing assistants,therapists,technicians, dental personnel,pharmacists, laboratory personnel,autopsy
personnel, students and trainees, contractual personnel,and persons not directly involved in resident care
(such as clerical, dietary,house-keeping, laundry, security,maintenance or billing staff, chaplains, and
volunteers)but potentially exposed to infectious agents that can be transmitted to and from staff and
residents. For the purposes of a long-term care provider's surveillance testing program, staff does not
include persons who work entirely remotely or off-site, employees on leave, such as paid family medical
leave, or staffing provided at the Commonwealth's expense(such as those provided by EOHHS through a
clinical rapid response team or the Massachusetts National Guard). Any testing completed by the provider
should capture required Department of Public Health information about each staff person including but
not limited to gender, age, race, ethnicity,primary city/town of residence, disability,primary language
and occupation.
For the purposes of a provider's surveillance testing program, a"week"means from 7:00 AM Thursday
morning through 6:59 AM the following Thursday morning.
Long-term care providers in Massachusetts are encouraged to monitor the CMS and CDC website for up-
to-date information and resources:

RECOMMENDATION REPORT OF THE LE INGTON PLANNING BOARD
ARTICLE .AMEND ZONING BYLAW-
DISTANCE FRDm BASEMENT,SLAB OR CRAWL BRACE AND GROUNDWATER
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board unanimously recommends that Town Meeting APPROVE the
motion under Article 9. On Wednesday,September 2 , 2020, after a series of public
hearings,the Planning Board voted to recommend favorable action with a vote of five
(5) in favor, zero 0) in opposition, and zero 0 in abstention for Article : Amend the
Zoning Bylaw- Distance from Basement, Slab or Crawl Space and Groundwater.
BACKGROUND
Over the years, residents within Lexington have been experiencing the impacts of
development through the displacement of groundwater. Such an issue wises when a
new house with a basement is installed in the water table. The displacement of
groundwater often results in the flooding of the new basement and displaces grater off-
site, onto neighboring properties, and into the street. It should also be noted that this
issue sometimes results in new illegal connections to the Town's drainage system,
thereby increasing costs to the Town.
The proposed Groundwater Bylaw requires a minimum distance between the Estimated
Seasonal High Groundwater Table ESHWT and the finished basement floor or slab.
This issue was regulated until 1998 when the Lexington Zoning Bylaw was amended,
and the regulation was deleted.The flooding of basements or movement of water onto
abutting properties is not unique to Lexington.Throughout the Commonwealth, many
communities are working to enforce similar regulations.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS
Due to VID-1 ,all of the zoning articles initially scheduled for the Annual Town
Meeting scheduled for March of 2020 were postponed to a Fall Special Town Meeting of
2020. Due to the length of time between the Annual and Fall Special Town Meetings, the
Planning Board was required to hold new public hearings.To ensure all information
heard during the public hearings has been communicated,this section of this report
provides a review of the public hearings held for the Annual Town Meeting 2020 and
Fall Special Town Meeting 2020.

RECOMMENDATION DEPORT OF THE hExIN TON PLANNING BOARD
ARTICLE 11:AMEND ZONING BYLAW-SITE PLANT REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board unanimously recommends that Town Meeting APPROVE the
motion under Article 11: Site Plan Review. on Wednesday, September 23, 2020,after a
series of public hearings, the Planning Board voted to recommend favorable action with
a vote of five 5) in favor, zero 0) in opposition,and zero ) in abstention for Article
11: Site Plan Review,
BACKGROUND
To clarify the requirements for projects that will or will not require site plan review,the
Planning Board prepared Article 11: Site Plan Review,to adjust the applicability ofsite
plan review.Significantly,this amendment adds a review for off-street parking lot
creation or expansion. Furthermore,the proposed amendments include procedures for
public meeting notifications.
The Planning Board determined that development projects which meet the following
criteria shall be exempt from site plan review.
• A new or expanded building that results in an increase in total gross floor area
of less than 2000 SF (increased from 500 SF);
• New or expanded structures that result in an increase in total site coverage of
less than 1000 SF (increased from 500 SF); or
• A new or expanded off-street parting let with eight or fewer parking spaces.
The difference between a public hearing compared to a public meeting relative to public
notification was further discussed. Massachusetts General Law is silent on the
requirements for site plan review,thereby leaving process and notification up to the
municipalities.As proposed in Article 11: Site Plan Review,,the Lexington Planning
Board will send notices to all abutters within three-hundred ) feet of property for
major site plan review applications but will not advertise in a newspaper.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS
Due to Dv1D-1 ,all of the zoning articles initially scheduled for the 2020 Annual Town
Meeting were postponed to a Fall 2020 Special Town Meeting. Due to the length of time
between the Annual and Fall Special Town Meetings,the Planning Board was required
to hold new public hearings.To ensure all information heard during the public hearings
I
has been communicated,this section of this report provides a review of the public
hearings held for the 2020 Annual Town Meeting and Fall 2020 Special Town Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION DIV MENDATION REPORT OF THE LE IN TON PLANNING BOARD
ARTICLE 12:AMEND ZONING Bn Aw—FINANCIAL SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board unanimously recommends that Town Meeting APPROVE the
motion under Article 1 : Financial Services.On Wednesday, September 23, 2020,after a
series of public hearings,the Planning Board voted to recommend favorable action with
a vote of five S) in favor, zero o) in opposition, and zero 0 in abstention for Article
1 : Financial Services.
BACKGROUND
A Zoning Amendment in 2016 required a special permit for a bank use in the Central
Business District where it had previously been permitted by-right. At that time,
Automatic Teller Machine (ATMs)were thought of as an accessory use attached to a
larger bank. They were not generally regarded as competition for active storefronts.
In 2019,the Building Department received an application to locate several ATMs in a
Lexington center storefront.At that time, Banks or Credit Unions were allowed by
special permit in the Center Business District,while ATMs were permitted by right.The
Building Commissioner determined,and the Board of Appeals agreed (after an appeal),
that a special permit was required for standalone ATMs in the Center Business District
because they constitute a banking use. Understanding that the Town did not support
this proposal,the applicant slid not apply for the special permit.
The Building Commissioner considers a standalone ATM to be an electronic branch of a
bank. This is an interpretation of the by-lave,and as such, may not be defendable should
another applicant appeal the determination to the Court.
At the request of the Center Committee,the Planning Board sponsored a zoning
amendment at the 2019 Special Ton Meeting to change the ATM use in the Center
Business District from a Y to N in the use table in case the Town's interpretation of the
bylaw was overturned. In the Planning Board's Article 6, Recommendation to Special
Town Meeting in 2019,the Board stated that this was a stop-gap measure in a rapidly
changing industry.
This Zoning Amendment more broadly defines banks as banking services to
encapsulate the evolving industry and removes ATMs from Table-1, Permitted Uses and
Development Standards, since a traditional ATM as we consider it today is explicitly
considered a banking service.
Also,this zoning amendment contemplates delivery of banking services to persons in a
car by adding the use `Banking services delivered to persons in a car"to Table-1,
Permitted Uses and Development Standards. The purpose of this addition is to prevent
1
curb conflict,{which may encourage d0uble parking and impair safety on Lexington
streets. This is intended to be a forward-looking bylaw,which addresses potential
issues with the evolving delivery industry.

To: Lexington Select Board,Jill Hai, Douglas Lucente, Chair,Joseph Pato,Suzanne Barry, Mark Sandeen
Lexington Town Manager,James Malloy
From: Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC).Chair John McWeeney
Re: Proposed zoning changes for existing commercial properties on Hartwell Avenue and Bedford Street
as proposed by Citizen,Charles Hornig.
At their 9/30/2020,the EDAC unanimously agreed and voted to support citizen articles 16, 17,and 18
and to send this letter to the Select Board and Town Manager out of concern that the present economic
situation will have very detrimental impacts on our town if we do not act quickly to support commercial
revenue.At the 9/30/20 meeting,they also voted (5-0-1)to support the Town Staff's Hartwell zoning
initiatives slated for 2021 Annual Town Meeting.
Lexington faces a severe drop in revenue due to upcoming vacancies in office buildings and other
commercial buildings in the Route 128/Bedford Street/Hartwell Ave area.
In fact, many of the existing commercial properties have become obsolete and can't meet the
requirements of the businesses of the future-such as lab, Medical, High Tech,and uses as yet
undeveloped.
The Committee believes that we have reached a point of change and the town must ready ourselves for
this change and be prepared to meet the requirements of the next wave of new businesses.
If we don't act now at this moment,we could lose our chance to stay up to date with the changes facing
us-to our competitors such as Waltham, Burlington, Cambridge,Allston, Brighton, Boston,and others.
Citizen Charles Hornig is way ahead in seeing the future and urging all of us to rise up to meet it.
Charles has served on the Planning Board for many years and worked for some of the largest tech
companies of the present generation in this area. He is well aware of the changes that can take place
and how quickly they can occur.
We cannot sit on our hands-we must be ready to meet the changes now and offset the decline in our
present economic condition.
Rather than fear what is going to happen, we must seize the day and imagine the future and reach for it.

September 22,2020
To the Members of the Planning Board,
On behalf of our board of directors,I am writing you to endorse Charles Hornig's citizen
articles regarding the rezoning of the Hartwell corridor.The Chamber of Commerce supports the
passage of these articles at Town Meeting and would request that the members of the Planning Board
endorse them as well.
Our support for this measure stems from our conversations with Mr.Hornig,our own
membership,and Town officials representing the Planning and Economic Development offices.Based
on those conversations,we see nothing in these proposed articles that prevents further rezoning or
additional projects down the road.In fact,it is our understanding that passage of these articles benefits
the related Town offices,since they would otherwise themselves have to bring similar articles to spring
Town Meeting before their work can progress.Additionally,as an organization dedicated to
promoting a healthy business environment in Lexington,we recognize the need to respond to market
demands.Landlords and developers want greater flexibility in zoning and clearer,streamlined
permitting processes,which these articles promise.
There is no question that rezoning and redevelopment of this area of Lexington is long
overdue.While we respect the work of the consultants and the various boards that have been involved
1620 Massachusetts Ave I Lexington,MA 02420
in this project over the past several years,those efforts have stalled.Mr. Hornig's articles meaningfully
move rezoning forward and provide a framework for future visions of the Hartwell corridor.We have
heard the objections that traffic planning and housing development are not included in this proposal;I
would suggest that is no reason to vote against Mr. Hornig's plan.The Town cannot afford to wait for
every problem to have a solution before moving forward on this specific solution.If these articles
created impediments to solving traffic and housing we might feel differently;however,we feel
confident that this plan only smooths the way toward solutions for these issues in the future.
Respectfully,
Erin Sandler-Rathe,Executive Director
Lexington Chamber of Commerce

To Whom It May Concern,
I am submitting an application to join the Lexington Human Rights Committee. I feel honored to
have been asked by Mona Roy and Tanya Gisolfi to join the HRC. I was involved with the HRC in
2016-2017, where I helped with the Active Bystander subcommittee and became trained to
train others. Unfortunately, in September 2017 my youngest child became ill and I needed to
focus on his needs. I am now in a place where I can move forward with my desire to be an
active member of the HRC.
My qualifications for the HRC include but are not limited to my role as a parent of biracial
children, as well an adoptive parent of a child of color with special needs. I am a licensed foster
parent, who has worked as a foster parent recruiter for DCF in the past and am often asked to
speak at foster parent classes. I have also been an active member of our school community, as
well as the Lexington Community Coalition.
have a Master of Liberal Arts degree with a focus in international relations and psychology. In
my professional life I worked for McKinsey & Co. as a researcher for 7 years and was a founding
staff member of the Public & Social Sector team. I also worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters
Southeastern Pennsylvania for 2 years before choosing to stay at home with my children.
I am committed to the core values of the HRC and to helping ensure that we work towards a
community that is free from bigotry, hatred, intolerance and disrespect. We are a diverse
community that should strive to work, learn, celebrate and embrace our differences.
The work that the HRC does is integral to engaging our community in a respectful way and I
look forward to working with the other committee members to continue on this path.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Hsu

"Go Out Doors" Public Art Project
Request for Authorization to Town of Lexington Select Board
Submitted By: Steve Poltorzycki &Jillian Tung (Co-Chairs, LCA)
September 17, 2020
Proposed project:
• "Go Out Doors" is a public art project whereby local artists will be commissioned to paint old
doors with artistic designs, which will then be installed in a public location that will allow for
socially-distanced viewing. The proposed installation site is near the Minuteman Bikeway
between the Visitor's Center and Hancock Street. It is envisioned that there will be four doors,
spaced along the Bikeway approximately 15 to 25 yards apart.
• This project will dovetail with similar projects in Concord(https://theumbrellaarts.or_/g arts
environment/go-out-doors) and Arlington. An installation in Lexington will serve as a bridge
between Concord and Arlington in creating a region-wide public art project that will enrich the
cultural lives of residents and promote tourism and economic development. The initial phase of
the Concord project is installed along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (a local bikeway). Photos of
some of those Concord doors:
JJ
i0� N iG
v
f
The doors will be installed sometime around the first week of October 2020 and will remain in
place for approximately six weeks.
Purpose: This project will bring a spark of art and culture into the lives of our residents, promote
tourism, and add to the enjoyment users of the Bikeway. Members of our community who are
eager to experience visual art firsthand, yet who are reluctant to venture into the closed space of a
museum, will appreciate the opportunity to partake of art in an outdoor environment. This project
will also support local artists, whose ability to show work has been significantly impacted by the
pandemic. There is no required theme to the pieces of art,but artists are requested to consider the
Concord theme of"celebrating nature, our senses and outdoor activity."
Collaboration opportunity: Concord and Arlington already have or are planning to have similar
"Go Out Doors" installations, featuring the respective Visitor's Centers and Bikeway locations.
This project will present an opportunity to collaborate with Concord, Arlington, and possibly other
nearby towns in a region-wide art project. Concord has expressed an interest in engaging in cross
promotion with other towns undertaking "Go Out Doors," and indications are that Arlington will be
interested in this as well.
Safety and community considerations: The Lexington Police Department(per Captain Mike
McLean) has cleared the project on the condition that the doors will be installed at least six feet
from the Bikeway. The Historic District Commission (per Anne Eccles, Chair) is supportive of the
project, on the condition that it will be a temporary installation of approximately six weeks. The
Bikeway Advisory Committee (per Kevin Falcone, Chair) is supportive of the project and a letter of
support will be forwarded to the Select Board under separate cover. The Tourism Committee (per
Dawn McKenna, Chair) is also supportive of the project and will send a note of support directly to
the Select Board. The Town Economic Development Department has offered promotion and
marketing support for the project.
Funding and implementation: The Lexington Council for the Arts will dedicate part of its budget
to fully fund the project. The Lexington Council for the Arts, with assistance from Cristina Burwell
at the Munroe Center for the Arts, will implement the project.
Select Board Action Requested
• LCA requests that the Select Board approve moving ahead with the project(given that the
Select Board has control over the Bikeway).
• LCA requests that the Select Board call on the DPW to provide installation assistance with the
proj ect.
Dear Select Board - During our committee meeting on September 10th, 2020 we approved
supporting installation of the "Go Out Doors"with the following statement and requests.
The Lexington Bicycle Advisory Committee supports the installation of the Lexington
Council for the Arts "Go Out Doors" exhibit along the Minuteman Bikeway. We have
provided several suggested locations and ask that installations be placed 10' from the
bikeway and allow a safe space for people to move off the bikeway. We also ask that
DPW be consulted for installations that anchor the doors to avoid vandalism and provide
safety from doors being moved by weather.

make it clear that this is not how labor negotiations are undertaken in Lexington. Our

that has been offered is fair. I will remind the audience that we are limiting, as we always limit,
the public comment section of the agenda to ten minutes. "

Mr. Lucente asked the Board for feedback on a proposed schedule of meeting dates for October
2019 through September 2020. Ms. Barry suggested that additional Selectman's meetings might
be scheduled in March to prepare to Annual Town Meeting. She also said she would be willing
to increase the overall number of meetings in order to shorten the length of each meeting. Ms.
Hai, Mr. Pato, Ms. Barry and Mr. Sandeen expressed concerns that more Monday Selectmen's
meetings would conflict with their ability to liaise with other committees that meet on Monday
nights.
Mr. Lucente said a revised schedule will be brought back for the Board's consideration.
6. Joint Meeting Board of Selectmen and School Committee
• Integrated Building Design& Construction Policy
At 7:17 p.m. a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee was called to
order by both Boards.
Present from the School Committee were Eileen Jay, Chair; Scott Bokun; Kathleen Lenihan;
Depika Sawhney and Dr. Julie Hackett, Superintendent of Schools.
The Integrated Building Design & Construction Policy has been working for the past year. The
School Committee, Permanent Building Committee, Sustainable Lexington, Department of
Public Facilities, School Superintendent, and Town Manager have all contributed to the final
document. The document has been reviewed by the Selectmen's Policy Committee. Mr. Malloy
noted that should the Board and School Committee approve the policy tonight, the Police Station
will be the first building designed under the new policy.
Upon a motion duly and made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the
Integrated Building Design& Construction Policy with minor edits.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the School Committee voted 4-0 to approve the
Integrated Building Design& Construction Policy with minor edits

7. Public Hearing and Discussion- FY2020 Water and Sewer Rates
Mr. Lucente opened the hearing at 7:25 p.m.
4
Ms. Kosnoff reviewed the FY 19 water and sewer operations; FY 19 billed consumption; and
FY 19 retained earnings history. She stated the water fund ended FY 19 with a budget surplus of
approximately$620,000 which was attributable to two things: surplus revenues of 379,000 and
unexpended budgeted expenses of$241,000. On the wastewater side, the FYI 9 year ended in a
budget surplus of$276,000 which was attributable to an approximate $72,000 revenue deficit
and approximately$348,000 in unexpended budgeted expenses.
Ms. Kosnoff said projected retained earnings balances as of June 30, 2019 totaled$1.56 million
in retained earnings in the water fund plus 1.17 million in the wastewater fund.
Ms. Kosnoff stated that $775,000 (water fund) and $700,000 (wastewater), as adopted at the
2019 Annual Town Meeting for the FY2020 water and sewer budgets, served as the basis for
calculating FY2020 water and sewer rates. Ms. Kosnoff noted that budget surpluses offset that
appropriation. These allow the Town to account for any future revenue deficits and also allow
the Town to pay cash for capital projects out of enterprise funds.
Ms. Kosnoff reviewed the history of actual usage from FYI 3 through FY20 and noted the FY20
usage estimates are lower than the prior year, continuing the downward usage trend.
Ms. Kosnoff presented the proposed preliminary water and sewer rates for FY2020. She noted
that overall, the combined rate increase is approximately 7.3%. This is reflective of a 3.5%
approximate increase in water rates and a 9.3% increase in wastewater rates.
Proposed Proposed
FY20 FY20
Water Rate Wastewater Rate
Tier 1 $4.10 $8.15
Tier 2 $6.14 $13.30
Tier 3 $8.11 $21.15
Irrigation $8.11 NA
Municipal $2.97 $3.50
Hanscom/Lincoln Labs $6.04 NA
VA Hospital $7.22 NA
Bedford-water $3.00 NA
Flat Sewer Rate(annual) NA $407.50
Mr. Malloy noted that once the Town has completed installation of the Smart Meters and
has at least a year's worth of data, he foresees conducting a rate study, that might lead to
adding more usage tiers to fine tune how usage is calculated and billed. Ms. Kosnoff
added that she foresees switching to a quarterly billing system. Combined with the rate
study, this is likely to require the services of a consultant.
Mr. Lucente closed the hearing at 8:04 p.m.
The Board of Selectmen will vote on the recommended FY2020 water and sewer rates at their
October 21, 2019 Meeting.
8. Discuss Hanscom Air Force Base MIT Lincoln Laboratory Expansion
5
Mr. Lucente asked the Board to provide feedback/concerns to Mr. Malloy for a reply to the
recent letter received from Hanscom AFB regarding redevelopment plans for MIT Lincoln Labs'
new 210,000 gross square foot office building.
Ms. Hai stated she would like the Town to actively pursue funding to offset some of the
infrastructure costs which will inevitably come from this project, such as traffic mitigation.
Ms. Barry clarified that this project is a third new building to be built on the property and by
itself represents 400 additional staff. She hopes conversations are happening at all levels so
traffic impacts are addressed and improvements made to public transportation. If another
entrance is created to the site, she prefers the access to come from 2A, rather than from Wood
Street.
Mr. Sandeen asked Mr. Malloy to ask MIT Lincoln Lab and Hanscom AFB how many total
additional employees would be present on the site once the expansions are complete.
Mr. Malloy will draft and send a response letter that includes the Board's comments.
9. Update on Hartwell Avenue Initiative
With the goal of having a zoning proposal ready for the 2020 Annual Town Meeting, consultant
Ted Brovitz, founder of Community Plan and Design, presented an economic development plan
for the Board's review. To create the proposed plan, Mr. Brovitz has been working with staff and
property owners, looking at existing rules and regulations, making site visits, analyzing trends,
and identifying opportunities and challenges. His presentation,previously given to the Planning
Board, is an overview also intended to be used when soliciting public feedback.
The Selectmen commented on various aspects of the plan and expressed concerns including:
moving forward with the plan quickly enough so as not to be left behind by companies looking
to the suburbs for more space; local and regional traffic flows and alternative forms of
transportation; coordinating multiple, related and simultaneous issues; hopes that there is
community enthusiasm to revitalize the Hartwell Avenue corridor; the length of time it will take
to complete the such an initiative; whether conversations have taken place with the
Commonwealth about the Armory; making sure that residential property owners and the adjacent
town of Bedford are kept"in the loop".
The Board took a four minute recess and reconvened shortly after 9 p.m.
10. Discuss Bike Share Program Future
Ms. Casey Hagerty, Economic Development Coordinator, presented an update on the existing
bike share program, begun in 2017, when the Town first sponsored a pilot program using the
Zagster Bike Share service. The program was supported by the Center Committee and Tourism
Committee and administered by the Economic Development Office. Ms. Hagerty included
information about ridership; length of rides; most frequented trip routes; trip originations and
destinations; program cost; and trends in micro-mobility.
Ms. Casey said that during the off season, ideally by the end of the calendar year, the Town will
need to decide whether to continue the program. Staff proposed the concept continuing the bike
6
share program by securing corporate sponsorship as the primary funding source, with a focus on
local health and wellness companies.
The Board concurred that further details and cost benefit analysis information would be needed
to consider continuation of the program. Concerns about e-bikes, scooters, and corporate
sponsorships were raised. The Tourism and Bicycle Advisory committees will discuss the bike
share program at their next meetings and provide feedback to the Board.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to extend the contract
with Zagster for a one-month period at no cost to the town.
11. Review Draft of Traffic Rules and Regulations to Include EV Charging Stations in Public
Metered Locations
Mr. Malloy said that the only change made from the previous presentation was the addition of
the fee amount.
An amendment to the document was discussed re: the ability to charge a vehicle without being
subject to the parking lot time limit. Staff noted that overnight parking is prohibited throughout
town which would preclude overnight parking at the charging stations. A wording change was
proposed to clarify how long an EV can remain parked at a municipal location.
Mr. Malloy will make edits and the proposal will come back for approval at a later date.
12. Bicycle Advisory Committee Recommendations
This item is a follow up from an earlier presentation given to the Board in September 2019.
Three areas were addressed: posting 15 mph speed limit signs on the Minuteman bikeway(as
Arlington and Bedford are also considering); sending a letter to the Legislature recommending
action on electric bicycles; approval of a program improvement request for the bicycle safety and
courtesy program.
• Speed limit signage
Mr. Lucente noted that the Board received substantial feedback about adoption of a speed limit.
Board members said they were not sure how enforceable such a limit would be. Police Chief
Corr agreed that enforceability would be difficult but he was comfortable if signs were advisory
in nature, rather than regulatory.
The majority of public comment requested that the Board not adopt speed signs, although one
resident supported advisory over regulatory signs. Issues other than speed limitation to improve
safety were raised.
The Board postponed vote until a mock-up of actual signage could be presented.
• The letter:
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve letter,
with edits for grammar, to Senator Boncore and Representative Straus, co-chairs Joint
Committee on Transportation, encouraging adoption of H.3014/S.2071 classifying electric
bicycles.
• Bicycle safety and courtesy:
Mr. Pato, liaison to the Bicycle Advisory Committee, asked the Board to comment as to whether
the Town should move toward adoption of a safety and courtesy program. With regard to
upcoming budget discussions, program improvement funds under the Transportation Advisory
Committee/Human Services Department would potentially be requested for community training
efforts to establish safety and courtesy norms.
Mr. Malloy made note of comments provided by Board members and by Bicycle Advisory
Committee Chair Peggy Enders which will be reflected in a subsequent Program Improvement
Request.
13. Approve and Sign Special Town Meeting Warrant 2019-1
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to sign the warrant
for the Special Town Meeting 2019-1 and authorize staff to make non substantive edits as
necessary or recommended by Town Counsel.
14. 2019 Special Town Meeting Articles
Carol Kowalski, Assistant Town Manager for Development, and John Livsey, Town Engineer,
provided an update to the Board on Article 8 - Funding 25% Design - of the Route 4/225
Bedford Street- Hartwell Avenue - Wood Street Transportation Improvement Project.
Selectmen's comments included: the necessity of outreach to build public support and clarify
what gains the 25% design funding provides; potential for traffic improvement; moving the
glacial process forward in order to qualify for State funding; project scope; collaboration with the
Town of Bedford.
Bob Creech, Chair of the Planning Board, read a letter of unanimous endorsement for Article 8
from the Planning Board.
Public comment included: concerns about timing, the seemingly high amount of the
appropriation, the uncertainty of the proj ect's benefits, and the footprint of the proj ect's impact.
Mr. Malloy emphasized that each incremental 25% stage, leading up to 100% design and bidding
process, includes a public input component. The time horizon for this project could be 10 to 15
years beyond this initial stage. Deferred zoning upgrades in this part of town may hinge on
moving ahead with the project.
Mr. Lucente assigned Selectmen to the articles they would present at Special Town Meeting.
15. Selectmen Goals Report
Ms. Barry and Mr. Lucente volunteered to be the designated members to move the Selectmen's
goals forward, in collaboration with the Town Manager.
s
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the goals
of the Board of Selectmen for 2020-2022 with edits as discussed.
16. Discuss Selectmen Committee Appointment Process
The Board discussed the committee appointment process including: evaluation of needs;
publication of committee/board vacancies; recruitment efforts for qualified and interested
persons; application evaluation process; interview process; selection and appointment
procedures; and on-boarding of new appointees.
Mr. Pato and Ms. Hai volunteered to champion an appointment process review, working with the
Town's Management Intern. Recommendations will return to the Board in early February.
17. Review and Approve Final Draft of Battle Green and Belfry Interpretive Rail Signs
Dawn McKenna, Tourism Committee Chairman, presented the final draft of the Battle Green and
Belfry Interpretive Rail Signs plan,part of the Battle Green Master Plan project. A Certificate of
