December 1, 1997
A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, December 1, 1997 in
the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 7 30 p m. Chairman
McSweeney, Mr Fenn, Mr Busa, Mrs Eddison, Mr Enrich, Mr White, Town Manager;
Mr Cohen, Town Counsel, and Ms Smith, Executive Clerk were present
Public Comments
Firefighter George Arthur Robinson expressed concern for the men and women of the
Lexington Fire Department who were told they will have to wait until July, 1998 to
receive their wage increases for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996 that were awarded in
Mediation. The Manager has advised them that the amounts appropriated for the
settlement do not equal the amount of the award which includes overtime Furthermore,
under the law the Town is required to request the Legislative Body (Town Meeting) to
fund and approve the contract. The Town Manager explained that the Town has set aside
$250,000 to fund the contract and actually the amount needed to fund Just the retroactive
pay increases, not including overtime, is in the vicinity of$275,000 The overtime
portion comes to approximately $80,000 to $90,000 When asked why an article was not
placed on the Warrant for the Special Town Meeting, Mr White replied that the Town
had no idea of what the award would be or the dollar amount
Firefighter Bob Cunha asked the Selectmen if they thought it fair to ask the firefighters to
wait until March Town Meeting and then funds would not be available until July It has
been three and a half to four years since the firefighters last received a raise Mr White
said the assumption they would have to wait until July is not correct
Mr McSweeney indicated he would review the matter with the Town Manager and will
come back in a couple of weeks and spell out what the Board feels will come of this
issue

Selectmen's Meeting—December 1, 1997
Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Chairman Peter Chalpm brought recommendations
on seven traffic safety matters that have been considered by the Traffic Safety
Committee
Hill Street/Milk Street —Caution Children Suns
The committee met with Mrs Nina Dodd, 16 Hill Street to discuss her requests for a stop
sign on Milk Street at Hill Street and for caution children signs on Hill Street. Since the
criteria for the stop sign and caution children signs are satisfied, the Committee
recommends approval of the requests Three caution children signs should be installed at
#1 and one on each side of the street at #70
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Wallis Court—Parking Regulation
The committee met with Mr Joel Greenstein who was representing owners and tenants
on Wallis Court to discuss their request to allow parking on the even numbered side of
Wallis Court. Fire Chief Quinlan looked at the proposal and felt that the only time the
Fire Department would have an access problem would be during a snow emergency As
a result, the Committee recommends that a regulation allowing parking, except during
snow emergencies, be adopted.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Massachusetts Avenue/Locust Avenue
The Committee discussed a request from Ms Carol Marley to install pedestrian crossing
signals at the East Lexington Fire Station. Since the warrants for pedestrian signals are
not satisfied at this location, the Committee must recommend that the request be denied.
Mr Chalpm explained it would be necessary for 150 pedestrians to cross per hour for
eight consecutive hours to meet the warrants for signals
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Selectmen's Meeting—December 1, 1997
East Street/Adams Street— Guard Rail
The Committee met with Ms Francesca Anderson, 56 Adams Street to discuss her
concerns relative to traffic conditions at this intersection. During the last three years two
cars have crashed through Ms Anderson's front yard, one of which hit the house The
Committee recommends installation of a steel beam guardrail on the property at the
corner of Adams Street and Hathaway Road. Ms Anderson will provide a letter to the
Town giving authorization to the Town to install the guardrail on her property and she
will assume ownership and maintenance responsibilities
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Manning Street— Caution Children Suns
The Committee met with several residents on Manning Street to discuss their request for
Caution Children signs at houses #5 and #24 Since the warrants are satisfied, the
Committee recommends approval of the request
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Fletcher Avenue at Woburn Street— Stop Sian
The Committee met with Mr Martin Quinlan, 12 Hayes Lane to discuss his request for a
stop sign on Fletcher Avenue at Woburn Street. The Warrants for a stop sign are
satisfied at this intersection and the Committee recommends approval of Mr Quinlan's
request
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Massachusetts Avenue at Crosby Road—20 MPH School Zone
The Committee met with Mrs Joseph Reynolds, 2643 Mass Avenue to discuss her
request for 20MPH school zones on Massachusetts Avenue and School Street to serve the
Hastings School. Mr John Moynihan of the School Department was also in attendance
Research of the Mass General Laws revealed that, as a result of a recent change in
Chapter 110, Towns may now, under certain conditions, install 20MPH school zones on
streets not abutting school property This is a significant change in the State's
requirements relative to school zones Since all required conditions are met, the
Committee recommends approval of Mrs Reynolds' request In addition, the Committee
recommends that the same action be taken for the Diamond Middle School. If the Board
approves these two school zones, this will complete posting of all of the eligible schools
Selectmen's Meeting—December 1, 1997
The Board Members asked Mr Chalpm and the Public Works Department to facilitate
this action for the safety of the children.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of
the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee
Classification Hearing
Mr White announced a bit of good news concerning the new growth figure and an
estimated personal property tax increase which in total amounted to $958,000 more than
anticipated. Mr White further indicated that some of this revenue must be applied to the
snow and ice deficit and also to the Assessor's Overlay After all adjustments are made,
the Board has the option to either go to the full levy limit or $250,000 below the levy
limit
There was much discussion among the Board Members about whether to return the
$250,000 to the taxpayers or to tax to the levy limit. Mr Enrich expressed concern about
raising funds that aren't required for the current fiscal year to help us in future years Mr
Fenn felt he would like to see the funds earmarked to pay the stealth debt Mrs Eddison
agreed with Mr Enrich and thought it would be a small step that doesn't bind the Town
forever Mr Busa although at first in favor of returning the funds to the taxpayer felt it
was so negligible that it would be better to use the funds in a more tangible way Mr
McSweeney asked for a recommendation and Mr Fenn proposed to continue the policy
of taxing to the levy limit
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 3 —2 Mrs Eddison and Mr Enrich in
the negative to tax to the levy limit for Fiscal Year 1998
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to maintain the CIP factor at 1 70 for
Fiscal Year 1998
DPW/Engineering Permit Fees
Town Engineer Frank Fields presented the Board with a recommended fee increase for
water, sewer and drain connection permits which were last set in 1989
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to set the fees as follows $40 for the
first 50 feet plus 300 for each additional foot, such fees to take effect January 1, 1998
Selectmen's Meeting—December 1, 1997
Betterment and Easement Takings for Phase I, Collection Sewers
Mr Fields explained the necessity for signing an order of construction and taking of
sewer easements in order to assess a charge to recover 50% of the cost to construct
sewers on Bowman Street, Golden Avenue, Old Spring Street, Spring Street and Vine
Street.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to sign an order of construction of
sewer for Vine Street, Spring Street and Old Spring Street
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to sign an order of construction and
taking of sewer easement for Bowman Street and Golden Avenue

McSweeney, Mr Busa, Mr Fenn, Mrs Eddison, Mr Enrich, Mr White, Town Manager;

Citizen Comments
A new resident to Town inquired about the Creche on the Green and asked whether the
offer of the Hancock Church to locate the Creche on their property could be pursued. Mr
Busa reviewed a meeting that he chaired at which the Selectmen met with the Lexington
Clergy last year on this matter The Lexington Clergy is working on this matter and will
report back to the Selectmen.
Lois Coit asked the Board what their next step would be concerning the school
renovation project in view of the failure of the December 8 override election. The
override was clearly a divisive issue and there is need for a plan that the full Board can
support. Mr McSweeney, speaking for himself, indicated it is his desire to sit down with
members of the School Committee and the Permanent Building Committee and hopefully
come up with something the majority of the community will support. This will be done
very soon.

Snow Storage
Several members of a"snow storage committee" consisting of membership from the
Conservation Commission, Recreation Committee, Lincoln Park Committee and
neighbors of the Lincoln Street area were present to review recommended alternate sites
to the Lincoln Park site for the storage of snow They cited several reasons why Lincoln
Park should not be used which included close proximity to Vyne Brook, damage to the
Park Area and Fitness Path, dirty snow remaining in the area until late May, and the
proximity of the area to 160 households The storage occurs between midnight and 7
a.m.
There was much discussion about the Westview site and concerns were expressed about
the number of additional vehicles that will be needed and the additional cost implications
to truck the snow across Town. The Board asked that the Westview site be used for the
