Mr. Lucente, Chair; Mr. Pato; Ms. Barry; Ms. Hai; and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy,Town Manager;Ms. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager;Ms.Katzenback,Executive Clerk; and Mr. Gibbons,Recording Secretary. Mr. Lucente stated this remote participation meeting is being held in accordance with Governor Baker's March 12, 2020 Executive Order suspending certain provisions of the Open Meeting Law to allow remote participation during Massachusetts' State of Emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Mr. Lucente provided instructions to members of the public, who were watching or listening to the meeting via the Zoom application, regarding the procedure of making a public comment. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. 2021 Annual Town Meeting • Article Discussion/Positions The Board reviewed the Annual Town Meeting articles, the resulting positions chart is appended to the end of these minutes. Mr. Charles Hornig, 18 Bacon Street and Planning Board Chair, stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Historical Commission held discussions regarding Article 39 - Amend Zoning Bylaw-Historic Preservation Incentive and there were no changes to the article since it was first presented to the Board. Mr. Hornig stated that all Zoning related articles would be discussed at the Planning Board's Wednesday, March 3, 2021 meeting. Mr. Makarious, Lexington Town Counsel, informed the Board that he had spoken with the Town Moderator about potentially postponing Article 40 -Amend Zoning Bylaw-Retaining Walls to a fall Town Meeting. Ms. Sheila Page, Assistant Planning Director, stated that there had been ongoing discussions regarding Article 40 and that the Planning Board would be discussing the Article at their meeting on March 3, 2021. Ms. Page noted that Article 43 Amend Zoning Bylaw- Technical Corrections was still on as a placeholder, and that the Planning Board would be discussing this Warrant Article on March 3, 2021. Mr. Pato voiced enthusiastic support for more development at the Hartwell Innovation Park but stressed that we must do our utmost to do so sustainably and responsibly. He is concerned that we may be creating undesirable growth with respect to sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions. He expressed concerns that changes over the past week and a half appear to have weakened protections. Increased development will bring larger impact, so responsible growth requires positive direction in the kinds of structures that are built. While he is waiting for the process to evolve,he felt that if there were not adequate protections,he would be unable to support the article. Ms. Amanda Loomis, Planning Director, gave a presentation to the Select Board regarding Articles 44-Amend Zoning Bylaw-Use And General Regulations and 45 Amend Zoning Bylaw & Zoning Map—Hartwell Innovation Park. Mr. Sandeen stated that he agreed with the comments Mr. Pato made. When we look at priorities from a sustainability perspective and in the Sustainable Action Plan, buildings in Lexington are our#1 priority, generating about 66% of Lexington's greenhouse gas emissions. Lexington's commercial buildings are responsible for over half of those emissions. We expect that adoption of Article 16 at the fall 2020 Town Meeting will result in doubling, tripling, or perhaps even quadrupling the amount of commercial real estate space on Hartwell Avenue. We know the best time to reduce building emissions is during design, and that retrofitting buildings to achieve emissions reductions will be much more expensive. Mr. Sandeen said he was concerned that there had been a number of recently proposed changes on an almost daily basis leading up to Town Meeting., He noted that he would like to see incentive-based zoning language to build on the Article 16 language passed in the fall, as suggested by the Attorney General, to encourage more sustainable development. Mr. Pato asked Town Counsel to comment on the role of incentives. Mr. Makarious stated that incentives had previously been allowed by the Attorney General but the extent of the incentives a town seeks to pursue could leave them open to litigation. Mr. Pato observed that the zoning that existed in the Hartwell area prior to Article 16 passing in the 2020 Fall Special Town Meeting could not be considered financially infeasible to develop as several buildings had been built in the area with that zoning. He suggested that we should consider bundling all the proposed growth in density changes from the code prior to Article 16 with incentives. This would mean that additional density could only be achieved if the development met Town goals. Mr. Hornig noted that all of the sustainability provisions that were approved by the Planning Board and the Fall Town Meeting were being carried forward in Warrant Articles 44 and 45. Ms. Sandhya Iyer, Economic Development Director, noted that the proposed changes regarding sustainability were incremental changes, and noted that technology will likely further encourage businesses and developers to undertake more sustainable projects in the future. She stated that the Town should try to pursue bylaws that would allow the Town to encourage projects to be as sustainable as possible. Mr. Creech, 2 Grimes Road and Planning Board member, noted that the Planning Board would be meeting on Wednesday and that they would ensure that what is discussed at Town Meeting would take into account the developers ability to construct a sustainable and economically viable project. Ms. Barry asked if the Planning Board would be taping a position on Article 36-Authorize Special Legislation-Development Surcharge For Affordable Housing. Mr. Creech stated that Mr. Daggett, article 36 petitioner was on the Planning Board agenda for March 10, 2021. Ms. Barry asked, with the Town Election that week, if the newly elected Planning Board members would be participating in the discussions on the warrant articles later that week. Mr. Creech confirmed that they would. Mr. Sandeen asked if Staff would be addressing the revolving funds, and the effect of COVID-19 on them, at Town Meeting. Mr. Malloy informed the Board that he would check with staff. Mr. Lucente asked if the Board was comfortable with Article 10-Appropriate FY2022 Community Preservation Committee Operating Budget And CPA Projects -being a part of the Consent Agenda for Town Meeting and the Board confirmed they were in agreement to include it on the consent. Mr. Sandeen asked which public parking lot improvement plan was being addressed in Article 12-Appropriate for Municipal Capital Projects and Equipment. Mr. Malloy stated that the parking lot project that came off was the parking lot consolidation project and stated that it was the parking meter replacements that would be funded by Article 12(o)-Parking System. Mr. Sandeen and Mr. Lucente noted that they were both "waits" on Article 12(o) Mr. Lucente stated that the Noise Advisory Committee was requesting to indefinitely postpone Article 28 -Reducing Noise from Landscaping Equipment- and would hold additional community conversations with key stakeholders before bringing it to a future Town Meeting. Mr. Lucente asked Ms. Axtell about the protocol of having all Warrant Articles that are indefinitely postponed added to the Consent Agenda. Ms. Axtell indicated that Warrant Articles that were indefinitely postponed could be added to the Consent Agenda. Mr. Malloy stated that Department of Public Works Director Dave Pinsonneault shared concerns over the second motion in Article 33 -Amend General Bylaws- Tree Bylaw: Data Collection and Education -regarding the Public Works Department going onto private property. Ms. Barry asked if there would be input from the Department of Public Works (DPW) on Article 37 - Amend General Bylaws-Stormwater Management (Chapter 114). Mr. Malloy stated that the DPW indicated that they did not have concerns with the article. It was also noted that Article 37 was pending as a possible indefinite postponement, and that the Planning Board would be discussing it on March 3, 2021. Ms. Axtell asked that should Article 37 be indefinitely postponed it be added to the Consent Agenda. Ms. Axtell stated Article 38 -Amend General Bylaws-Trees (Chapter 120) -is indefinitely postponed as well, and added to the consent agenda. • Discuss Select Board Report Under Annual Town Meeting Warrant Article 2 Mr. Lucente asked the Board for their feedback for topics to include in the 2021 Annual Town Meeting Article 2 Select Board Report. Ms. Barry suggested that the Board recognize the Town's experiences brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, include a buildings update to the 2020 report, include information on the Town's Social Racial Equity initiatives, and include information on the Special Permit Residential Development (SPRD) Zoning Bylaw Amendment Committee. Ms. Hai suggested the relaunch of the Stone Building Ad Hoc Committee be included under the buildings section of the Select Board Report. Mr. Pato suggested adding a section on the Home Rule Petitions from past Town Meetings. The Board discussed which members would write each portion of the report and would return their portions to Ms. Katzenback by Friday March 12, 2021. Ms. Axtell reminded the Board that the TMMA Meeting Night is March 11, 2021 and that 10 minutes would be reserved for questions and answers. Mr. Lucente stated that a question and comment section had been added to the Town Meeting page on the Town's website.

Mr. Lucente, Chair; Mr. Pato; Ms. Barry; Ms. Hai; and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy,Town Manager;Ms.Axtell, Deputy Town Manager;Ms.Katzenback,Executive Clerk; and Mr. Gibbons,Recording Secretary. Mr. Lucente stated this remote participation meeting is being held in accordance with Governor Baker's March 12, 2020 Executive Order suspending certain provisions of the Open Meeting Law to allow remote participation during Massachusetts' State of Emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Mr. Lucente provided instructions to members of the public, who were watching or listening to the meeting via the Zoom application, regarding the procedure of malting a public comment. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Select Board Work Session- 2021 Annual Town Meeting Article Discussion/Positions/ Select Board Report The Board reviewed the Annual Town Meeting Warrant and noted their positions and which Board member would be presenting on each article at Town Meeting. The resulting positions chart is appended to the end of these minutes. The Board discussed Article 12(o) - Appropriate for Municipal Capital Projects And Equipment- Parking System. Mr. Sandeen stated that he was still a "wait", while Mr. Lucente stated that he was under the impression that Staff would be making a presentation to the Board regarding different options that would be available, and as a result would like to change his position to a "yes". Mr. Lucente stated that at the last Board meeting, the Board agreed that they would be reviewing the information regarding kiosks, and would make a decision on them at a future meeting. Mr. Malloy stated that the Article would allow the Town to move forward with funding 25 kiosks, and that vendors had stated that the kiosks would cost$18,000 each. Mr. Malloy stated that this article would provide funding for the parking improvements, and the Board could choose how they would like to implement the parking appropriation. Mr. Sandeen asked what kind of charging stations would be installed with the appropriation discussed in Article 12(n) Appropriate for Municipal Capital Projects and Equipment - Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, and asked if the motion should note that the Town would be installing Level 2 charging stations. Mr. Malloy stated that while the Town would not be installing Level 1 charging stations, by narrowing the focus, the Town would be restricted to only installing Level 2 Charging Stations. Mr. Sandeen provided the Board information on the differences in the various levels of charging stations. The Board determined that the motion should restrict the funding to purchasing Level 2 charging stations Ms. Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance, stated that Article 19 Establish, Amend, Dissolve and Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Funds would have three subsections. Ms. Kosnoff noted that 19(a) - would be asking to appropriate $2,800,000 from the Capital Stabilization Fund to mitigate debt service. Ms. Kosnoff further stated that 19(b) sought to appropriate $3,217,674 into the Capital Stabilization fund. Ms. Kosnoff also stated that 19(c) sought to appropriate $615,366 into the Transportation Demand Management/Public Transportation fund. Mr. Lucente noted that the Appropriations Committee had voted 7-0 to support Article 19. Mr. Lucente updated his position to yes for Article 29- Clean Heat Authorize Special Legislation To Regulate Fossil Fuel Infrastructure and Adopt Bylaw Amendment Enabling Legislation. Mr. Malloy presented the Board an email he had received from Mr. Gerry Paul, Ms.Nancy Sofen, and Mr. Mark Connor, all members of the Tree Committee,regarding Article 32 - Amend General Bylaws-Receive Appraised Value For Removed Trees. Mr. Malloy raised concerns from Town staff including Mr. David Pinsonneault, Department of Public Works Director. Mr. Pinsonneault stated the article would increase work of Town staff on trees which were located on private property. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that he was proposing a Tree Canopy study which may better inform a future article to address the concerns of the Warrant Article. Mr. Pato stated that he believed that some of the concerns raised by Mr. Malloy and Mr. Pinsonneault should be addressed by the current Tree Bylaw and State Law. Mr. Malloy stated that he was concerned about the length of time that the Board and Town Staff would have to dedicate to the processes laid out by the Warrant Article. Mr. Pato stated that he believed the Article would reflect the Board's commitment to protect Lexington's tree canopies. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that regarding private property, the Town currently does not oversee tree removal. He stated that to monitor tree removal on private property would add additional work to the Town staff, specifically the Tree Warden. Ms.Nancy Sofen,3 Abernathy Road and Tree Committee member, stated that she was concerned there was confusion between Article 33a and Article 33b. Ms. Sofen stated that she did not believe the Warrant Articles would add additional work for Town staff as the burden would be on the applicant, except for a post construction survey. Mr. Sandeen stated that the objective of Article 32 was to address the removal of Town owned trees. He believe s that the primary objective of Article 32 is to establish a way for the Town to be compensated for the value of its property, Town owned trees. Mr. Lucente stated that he believed Article 32 may be a burdensome to development in Lexington. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that under Chapter 87 the Town does not have to allow the removal of a tree on public property. Ms. Hai voiced concern over the funding mechanism outlined in Article 32 stating it was cumbersome and suggested it would require amending. Ms. Barry requested that the Tree Committee consider an amendment to the motion. Mr. Lucente stated that he was uncomfortable with Article 33 - Amend General Bylaws- Tree Bylaw: Data Collection and Education- Motion Section b. Mr. Lueente stated that he did not support having a homeowner file a permit for the removal of a tree on private property. He further stated that he was concerned that the Article would lead to neighbor disputes. Ms. Hai stated that she supported Mr. Pinsonneault's suggestion that the Town complete the Tree Canopy Study prior to the passage of Article 33. Mr. Gerry Paul, of 43 Highland Ave and Tree Committee Chair, stated motion one of Article 33 was to get more information on tree removals at bylaw sites. He also stated his belief that the passage of the Article would not require more work on the DPW's part, but would be collecting more information from a builder.Mr.Pinsonneault stated that so long as information was provided by the builder the DPW would be fine with it. The Board stated that they were in support of motion 1 on Article 33 and were not in favor of motion 2 on article 33. Ms. Hai asked if there was a precedent for a Town Meeting Warrant Article requesting the Select or Planning Boards to create a Committee,as was proposed in Article 35.Mr.Pato stated that there were Bylaw Committees, like the Tourism Committee, which had been approved at Town Meeting,but stated that he did not believe that Town Meeting had created a Committee. The Board stated that they would abstain on Article 35. Mr. Lucente stated that while he appreciated the intent of Article 36, after reviewing the changes made to the motion, he was changing his position from a wait to a no as he was uncomfortable with the proposed mechanism. Mr. Sandeen believes that Lexington needs additional affordable housing and we need to find a way fund that affordable housing.However,we also need to increase economic development and we need to find a way to support economic development. He would propose the solution is an integrated plan to achieve all of the Town's goals for affordable housing, economic development, transportation, and sustainability. For that reason, he will stay a wait on Article 36. The Board stated that the Planning Board had voted to support Article 37 - Amend General Bylaws-Stormwater Management(Chapter 114), and all moved to a yes position. The Board stated their support for indefinitely postponing and adding Articles 40-Amend Zoning Bylaw-Retaining Walls, 42 - Amend Zoning Bylaw-Floodplain Management, and 43- Amend Zoning Bylaw- Technical Corrections to the Consent Agenda. Mr.Pato stated that he would support indefinitely postponing Articles 44 and 45. He stated that he believed that the changes were made too quickly following the Fall Town Meeting. Mr. Sandeen voiced support for Mr. Pato's position regarding Article 44 - Amend Zoning Bylaw-Use and General Regulations and 45 Amend Zoning Bylaw & Zoning Map—Hartwell Innovation Park. The Board discussed the timeline of Town Meeting, and noted the proposed Town Meeting dates. The Board confirmed that Articles 37, 38, 40, 42, and 43 would be added to the consent agenda. Mr. Malloy stated that he had asked the Town Moderator to discuss the High School Feasibility Study as the last article at Town Meeting. He stated that it would not be necessary to keep the Town Meeting open as the item could be discussed at the Fall Town Meeting. The Board reviewed and discussed the Select Board Report and noted that they would be voting to approve it at their meeting on March 22, 2021. The Board reviewed various grammatical and formatting edits they would like incorporated into the document.

Add any comments below or on a separate page. Signature: Date: Of the three "qualification" bullets on the Monuments and Memorials web page, my qualification is the second — I'm knowledgable about Lexington's history. I would call what I do for a living, user experience designer, a secondary qualification. My real area of expertise is understanding the psychology of human/computer interaction, but this is applicable to any design process. Further, although I don't have experience in the design of statuary and monuments, I do have an excellent design sense. In addition to my interest in supporting the charge of this committee, I also wish to serve because I believe that town government should be active and responsive to residents. All of my interactions with boards, committees, and staff have been great — until I tried to get some information from the Monuments and Memorials Committee. After town meeting voted to support the idea of a women's memorial, I submitted a request to the Monuments and Memorials Committee for a list of all outdoor monuments and memorials in Lexington. I did not receive a response. In the ensuing months I requested the information several times. There were also two requests from the select board on my behalf. All requests went unanswered I believe there are two projects this committee can work on that falls within its charge. • If the list of monuments and memorials doesn't exist, create the list. Whether the list currently exists or not, post the list in a prominent and easily accessible location on the town web site when it is available. • Create clear, easy to understand requirements for proposing, approving, and locating new monuments and memorials, whether they are funded publicly or privately.

Co eT Menu Town of Lexington Parking Management Group Uu$M �Nl ":` hC AVN II J, MEMORANDUM Date: April 2, 2021 To: Jim Malloy, Town Manager From: Parking Management Group Re: Temporary Adjustments to the Lexington Center Parking Program Goal: • Maintain available short term customer parking in close proximity to businesses' doors. • Make adjustments within our Parking Management Plan principles which includes demand-based pricing. Factors: • Decrease in parking demand of both short term customer parking and long term employee parking due to COVID-19 restrictions. • Lack of enforcement parking meter violations. • Employees using short-term, 2 hour parking spaces for all day parking since March 2020. Action Items: • Temporarily define new bands of parking pricing by shrinking the circumference of the 50 cent, 2 hour parking area and replacing those areas with free, long term parking. • Purchase meter bags for these newly defined free, no time limit parking so public is aware of the changes. Add appropriate signage at Depot Lot entrances. • Communicate temporary changes to Lexington Center businesses and Lexington residents. • Reassess temporary measures on July 1. Reference proposed parking map for areas that should be adjusted. These areas include: On-street parking: (83 metered spaces) upper Meriam St(9 spaces) south side of Massachusetts Ave (10 spaces) across from Town Office complex lower Muzzey St(14 spaces) Raymond St(10 spaces) upper Clarke St(15 spaces) lower Waltham St(25)—this area is currently used by PP sticker on the permit parking program Parking lots: (32 metered spaces; 300+non-metered spaces) NStar lot(32 spaces)—this area is currently used by PP sticker on the permit parking program Depot Lot(300+ spaces)—currently free parking since March 2020, this should remain free parking and marked at the entrances accordingly. Employee Parking Permit Program The Parking Management Group recommends that the 2020-21 parking permits extend to February 28, 2022 at no cost to existing permit holders of PP and PAYG permits. The parking areas where these permits are used(Depot Lot,NStar lot, lower Waltham St)have not been enforced since March 23, 2020. The recommended temporary adjustments to the Lexington Center parking program suggest these area as free parking. If the assessment of these measures deem any of the areas to become paid parking prior to February 28, 2022, a prorated fee of the normal $250 for PP should be charged for new permit holders. If PYAG permit become necessary, the current$15 fee should be collected. This permit would allow the permit holder to pay$1 per day for unlimited time in the Depot Lot.

Axtell, Deputy Town Manager Fax: (781) 861-2921 MEMORANDUM TO: Select Board FROM: Jim Malloy, Town Manager DATE: April 21, 2021 RE: Hosmer House Relocation CC: Anne Eccles, Chair, Historic Districts Commission Marilyn Fenollosa, Chair Historic Commission As the Board is aware, I have been working on Round 2 of putting together an RFP to move the Hosmer House so that the Police Station can be built. As a recap of the process that I'm recommending, the following are the steps that I'm following: 1. Identifying all land owned by the Town of Lexington as potential sites. There were 296 original parcels reviewed. 2. Eliminating land that is under Conservation, School Department, Recreation Sites/Parks, Parking Lots and obvious small unbuildable/odd shaped lots. This reduced the overall available parcels to 27 parcels. 3. The list above was further reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Zoning Administrator and Conservation Director and parcels that either had wetlands, were unbuildable due to lot size/frontage or where single/two family homes were not allowed were removed, which reduced the list to 3 parcels (see attached color coded spreadsheet). The green parcels are those that can be built as of right; the yellow parcels could be built with a zoning change; and the red parcels, while they do not have a wetlands issue, cannot be built due to insufficient frontage/undersized lots. With those lots that could be utilized with a zoning change, this brings the total number of possible locations to 5. 4. From this list, my recommendation is that I work with the Historic Districts Commission and Historic Commission to ensure there are no other properties that they believe would not be appropriate and eliminate those they find unacceptable. 5. From the revised list(from the review in [4] above), I would propose that we hold a public hearing and invite the abutters (whether direct or within 100 feet, I would leave to the Select Board)to ascertain if there is abutter opposition and consider whether to remove any additional parcels. 6. From the newly revised list(from the review in [5] above), I believe we could put out an RFP that would include any remaining parcels, but also making it clear that the awarding of the bid would be subject to Town Meeting authorizing the disposition of the specific real estate selected. The parcels that are potential sites are as follows: 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 Parcels highlighted in Green— • Parcel 50-240—Carmel Circle (no address)—zoned RS and is not within a Historic District. This parcel is legally conforming to zoning with no further changes necessary. • Parcel 47-45B— 116 Vine Street—(Leary Property)—zoned RO and is not within a Historic District. This parcel is legally conforming and while it has some wetlands, there is sufficient upland for a buildable parcel. • Parcel 20-38A—32 Lowell Street—zoned RS and is not within a Historic District. The parcel is legally conforming but is a long move, near the Arlington Town Line. Parcels highlighted in Yellow— • Parcel 68-44—Lowell Street (no address)—zoned GC and would require a zoning change (to RO which is the abutting zoning district) and is not within a Historic District. This parcel is otherwise legally conforming as to size and frontage and while wetlands are in the area, there is sufficient upland to build. The parcel would be a long move, near the Burlington Town Line. • Parcel 48-170A—Fletcher Park(current location of the Hosmer House). This parcel is zoned GC and would require a zoning change (to RS which is the abutting zoning district). This parcel is within the Battle Green Historic District but would also require going through an ANR subdivision. I have attached two potential"lots"just to give the Board a conceptual idea of the lot size that would be required to conform in the RS zone. Two other possibilities— • A little further down Mass. Ave. (next to Muzzy Condos) is a soccer field that has a vacant area along Mass. Ave. and this parcel could potentially also be subdivided through an ANR lot(the back lot would not be buildable, but may still be available to be used as a soccer field). This would require discussion/agreement with the Recreation Committee. The parcel is zoned RS and a conforming lot could be created(the soccer field may need to move a few feet toward the rear of the property to provide a conforming lot size). • 41 Hancock Street(25 Somerset)is a privately owned parcel—it is zoned RS and is within the Hancock-Clark Historic District and is a buildable lot. The owners have recently subdivided the lot and approached the Town with an interest to sell it as part of the Hosmer House relocation. I have attached a copy of the subdivided lot for the Board's information. This would likely require that the bidders negotiate with the private property owner for this specific property and for the RFP to include moving the Hosmer House from its present location to this specific property. This would not require Town Meeting authorization as per Town Counsel's previous opinion that the Select Board is already authorized to sell personal property(the structure). Should this route be considered, I would recommend going through the HDC and HC as well as also going forward with Step 5 listed above to invite the abutters to a public hearing. I have attached maps from the Town's GIS system for the parcels identified above for the Board's information and discussion. I have created a rating grid(attached) that assigns a numerical value for different factors to prioritize the options and while other factors could be considered, if the idea is to facilitate an easier process with a good location, the private party option at 41 Hancock comes out as the best option, with the properties at Carmel Circle and Vine Street as the second best options. � � o a � d r. h ¢ _ W R R W � pW F W O •� ?

Rust, A. Loomis, Housing Partnership Board From: Carol Kowalski, Assistant Town Manager for Development Re: Affordable Housing Trusts, Housing Development Corporations I had offered to provide a memorandum as you and the Select Board contemplate methods for increasing Lexington's production of affordable housing and supporting LexHab's objectives. Specifically, this memorandum describes and recommends that Lexington consider the adoption of an Affordable Housing Trust and further recommends that an independent non-profit Housing Development Corporation model could be advantageous in helping the Town produce affordable housing. Consideration could be given to reconstituting LexHab to increase its production of needed affordable units. I recommend both an Affordable Housing Trust and an independent 501 c3 housing development corporation be evaluated further for Lexington. Municipal Affordable Housing Trust The Municipal Affordable Housing Trust(AHT)Fund Law MGL Ch 44 S 55c allows communities to create an affordable housing trust through simple-majority action of the local legislative body. An Affordable Housing Trust is analogous to a bank account. It can hold funds such as transfer tax fees, inclusionary zoning fees, Community Preservation Act funds, gifts. An AHT is not typically a developer of housing. It provides liquidity to facilitate timely real estate transactions to take advantage of opportunities quickly, or to plan well in advance for future opportunities. One of the major benefits of an AHT for Lexington would be as a funding receptacle for affordable housing fiends received from a building surcharge or other such fee as adopted by Town Meeting in 2020. An AHT is a municipal entity, and most towns, if not all, direct the towns' finance departments to oversee the AHT, and process transactions in the same manner as other transactions are processed. This is seen by many as an important assurance of AHT's. The statute requires that one member of the Select Board to serve on the Board of Trustees, and appoints the remaining members. Perhaps the most significant advantage of establishing an AHT for Lexington is that opportunities would not have to wait for Town Meeting action. Local control could still be exercised by the composition of the Board. Note that MGL Chapter 30B applies to Affordable Housing Trusts. Hiring contractors, selling property,must follow procurement law. (This is one important reason that many communities also create non-profit 501 c3 housing development corporations in addition to an AHT.) There are 16 powers in the statute that a municipality can opt to include when constituting its AHT, and there is a range of control that the municipality can opt to exert. AHTs can buy and sell property, administer programs, and make funding grants. If they use CPA funds, they are obligated to 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 follow CPA requirements. Although they can buy and sell property, they are not well-suited for construction. (Housing Development Corporations are better for this, and are described below.) There are more than 100 affordable housing trusts in Massachusetts. Town Counsel prepared the declaration of trust documents for the Towns of Concord, Winchester and Duxbury, and has provided multiple examples of other municipalities' declarations of trust for Lexington's reference. These would be useful if a task force were formed to evaluate the option of an AHT in more depth, along with the online guidebook on Municipal Housing Trusts on the Massachusetts Housing Partnership website. An AHT for Lexington would be better than a stabilization fund due to the range of powers intended by the legislature and in recognition of the need for timely action in creating local affordable housing. The legislature simplified the law in 2005 specifically to support municipalities that wanted flexibility to use their CPA and other funds more readily as they sought to make real progress with their housing goals. Housing Development Corporations When I first came to work in Lexington, I was surprised to learn how LexHab was constituted, compared with independent affordable housing development corporations. By comparison,the many controls on LexHab impose higher cost and time delays as LexHab pursues its mission, thereby restricting LexHab's ability to produce affordable housing units as efficiently as communities with different nonprofit models. Nonprofit housing development corporations can be constituted without being subject to the time and increased expense of procurement law, for example, and can be arranged with varying degrees of local government oversight. Arlington, Concord, Wellesley and many other towns in Massachusetts have 501 c3 housing development corporations. They can all receive Community Preservation Act Funds, and can receive funds from an AHT to act on real estate opportunities to construct, secure, or improve affordable housing. The Housing Corporation of Arlington is an example that is independent of town government, whereas Concord opted for greater local government control when forming its Housing Development Corporation. Public input on the Comprehensive Plan has cited the importance of increasing housing opportunities. I expect that creating an AHT would be a likely recommendation of the CompPlan. I recommend initiating a task force to evaluate and develop in detail a possible proposal for your and the Board's consideration for an AHT warrant article for a near-term Town Meeting. I further recommend that the task force evaluate and make a recommendation to you and the Board for possible action to reconstitute LexHab as an independent housing development corporation. These steps would certainly help Lexington make progress in creating housing opportunity in Lexington. AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON SELECT BOARD MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Review Town Celebrations Committee Request - Memorial Day PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: June Baer, Chair of the Town Celebrations Committee 1.7 SUMMARY: The Town Celebrations Committee is in the initial stages of planning for Memorial Day celebration events. June Baer, Town Celebration Committee Chair, will be at the meeting to give the Board an update, discuss the TCC recommendation for a virtual 2021 Memorial Day celebration and to hear Board feedback. SUGGESTED MOTION: FOLLOW-UP: DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 4/26/2021 8:OOpm ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Mannar tar a:0a:a;t raaectl I`c morkif Daay 2021 B°ickup Material memo To: Town of Lexington Select Board From:June Baer, Chair, Town Celebrations Committee Date: April 22, 2021 RE: Memorial Day, May 31, 2021 In a traditional Memorial Day, the Town Celebrations Committee lays wreaths at various memorials around town. This does include a parade of marchers from Cary Memorial Building to Munroe Cemetery and then to the Green where we finish with a ceremony on the Green. This year I am still concerned about the pandemic and social distancing and would like to recommend another year where we hold a virtual celebration. The Town Celebrations Committee is in the initial stages of planning for Memorial Day. If it is virtual, we can do another program with LexMedia where we can have representatives place wreaths at the various memorials. We can leave those wreaths in place as we did last year for any residents who wished to go on Memorial Day and pay their respects. We are tentatively discussing a possible family-oriented event. This would perhaps take the form of a self-guided walk around Munroe Cemetery focusing on Civil War veterans buried there. We could highlight the stories of 4 or 5 of the veterans. We are focusing on the Civil War as 2021 is the 160th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. It is permissible for us to lay a flower as decoration on each Civil War veterans' grave as a help for families on the self-guided walk to identify which are Civil War veterans. AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON SELECT BOARD MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Review LexPride Request - Pride Vehicle Parade PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Board Discussion I.8 SUMMARY: LexPride has submitted a request to have to have a Lexington PRIDE Vehicle Parade on Sunday, June 13, 2021 to start at approximately 3:00 p.m. driving from the Lexington DPW parking lot down Massachusetts Avenue to disperse at Pleasant Street. Attached is their letter of request outlining the details. The Board is being asked to review and discuss this request taking into consideration any State guidelines issued for the COVID-19 state of emergency. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is currently in Step I of Phase IV of the State's reopening plan,parades fall under Step 2 of Phase IV in the reopening plan.

I reviewed the correspondence from last year and could not decipher the proper channel. Please let me know if there's a different process we should follow. Thank you!--- Dear Select Board and Jim, Thank you all for your continued leadership and hard work as the pandemic lingers on. We appreciate all you do and hope that relief is in sight. One of the bright spots of the crisis is the introduction of Lexington's first ever PRIDE Vehicle Parade in 2020.It was hailed as a tremendous success by all accounts so we are requesting permission to do it again this year! Request: PRIDE Vehicle Parade ■ Applicant's Name/Organization: Valerie Overton and Deb Zucker on behalf of LexPride ■ Email: lexpridemaLgmail.com ■ Phone Number: —Deb Zucker ■ Name of Parade/Event: Lexington PRIDE Annual Car Parade 2021 ■ Date of Parade/Event: Lexington Pride Day- Sunday, June 13,2021 ■ Schedule- Start and End Time: 3:00 pm start time(cars line up at 2:30pm). End Time: 3:30pm ■ Map of Parade Route identifying the assembly and disassembly locations: ■ Route: Mass Ave from DPW to Pleasant Street o Assembly: DPW Parking lot. o Disassembly: Pleasant Street-In order to avoid participants gathering in a large group upon completion, the parade will end at the Pleasant St fork and participants disperse from there, without stopping. We anticipate having a volunteer Parade Marshal on that corner, directing vehicles to go their own way at the conclusion of the parade. ■ Number of Cars: 50 (estimated).Participation is open to all and will be advertised through local channels including LexPride's newsletter,website& social media. It's hard to predict how many people will chose to participate. Last year we estimated around 35 vehicles participated and we expect slightly more this year as the event gains traction. If there is a maximum number of vehicles the town is comfortable with,please let us know and we'll limit participation. The Car Parade will mark the culmination of PRIDE Week,June 6- 13 and will take place on Lexington's 5th Annual PRIDE Day, Sunday,June 13 as declared by the PRIDE Proclamation issued by the Select Board on May 6,2019. Lexington's Pride events are the culmination of collaborations with many other community organizations, Lexington Public Schools, town departments, local businesses and faith communities; and are scheduled around the much larger Boston Pride events culminating with the enormous Pride Parade & Festival in downtown Boston the 2nd Saturday each June.You can see a photo montage of Lexington's Pride Car Parade 2020 here. In addition to the Pride Car Parade we are again planning to display the Lexington PRIDE Banners in town center for the month of June and are also planning a variety of activities during Pride Week, including an opening ceremony, children's story &craft as well as speakers and film presentations. We are also collaborating with the Human Rights Committee on a Race Amity Day event that coincides with Pride Day. We'll release our full line-up of PRIDE Week events shortly and hope that you will be able to join us for many of these activities. About PRIDE In June 1969,police raided the Stonewall Inn, a bar patronized by LGBTQ+people who had few (if any) safe options for expressing their authentic selves. The police were aggressive and violent, arresting 13 people in the initial incident.In these times,many LGBTQ+people were arrested for violating gender and sexuality conformity laws. Raids of this type were commonplace at that time,but the aggressiveness of the police and the anger of the LGBTQ+ community spurred action on this date.For six days,the LGBTQ+community reacted,protested, and rioted against police violence. Thousands of people put their bodies on the line during this time,led largely by transgender women of color, among others. The Stonewall Uprising is widely regarded as a major event precipitating the modern LGBTQ+civil rights and social justice movement. One year later, on June 28, 1970, the Christopher Street Liberation Day parade was held and is credited as being the first PRIDE parade in US history. Today, PRIDE parades are intended to promote self-affirmation, dignity, equality and increase visibility of the LGBTQIA+people as a social group.PRIDE parades are now common in cities and towns all across the United States and countries around the world. In spite of increased visibility,LGBTQIA+people still face disproportionate rates of harassment and discrimination, making June and its PRIDE parades and activities among the most important events for the LGBTQIA+community. Thank you for considering our PRIDE Car Parade request again. Please let us know if you would like us to attend an upcoming Select Board meeting to discuss these plans. i i , Thank you, Deb Zucker- she/her/hers Lex Pride, Vice Chair www.lexl2ridema.org AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON SELECT BOARD MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Review Proclamation Request - Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Board Discussion L9 SUMMARY: The Lexington Human Services Department and the Lexington Human Rights Committee are requesting that the Select Board approve and sign a proclamation annually recognizing the month of May as Asian American and Pacific Islander(AAPI) Heritage Month.
