Sustainable Lexington Committee
Minutes of Meeting of February 4, 2020
A meeting of the Sustainable Lexington Committee (SLC) was held in the Hudson Room of
Cary Hall. A quorum of six was present.
Members Present: Cindy Arens, Paul Chernick, Marcia Gens, Todd Rhodes (vice-chair),
Dan Voss (chair), Charlie Wyman
Members Absent: Celis Brisbin, Rick Reibstein
Other Attendees: Mary Hutton (Mothers Out Front)
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 pm.
Discussion focused on the spreadsheet constructed by the Waste sector task force to
communicate goals, actions, and priorities for the next few years, using it as an example of the
discussion and "stress testing"the committee should do with all the sectors in preparation for
presenting priorities to the Select Board and the new Sustainability Director. The discussion
focused on issues of clear, measurable goals; of which actions will achieve the greatest impact;
and the use of visuals to communicate the essential concepts clearly; among others. It was agreed
that we should review the committee's goals with the new Sustainability Director before
presenting to the Board.
At our next meeting the committee will go through a similar process for two other sectors among
those where the committee is or anticipates being most active and where the Select Board's
active engagement will be needed: Energy, Transportation, Buildings, Toxics, Emergency
Preparedness.
Next Meeting: The next meeting of the Sustainable Lexington Committee will be on Tuesday,
February 25 at 7 pm.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Charlie Wyman
