The interests of Hayward Pond area residents had been taken into consideration and that land had been excluded from the park plans. He saw no problem with accepting the plan as it stands. i Mrs. Smith noted the Park's suggestion that a four town committee be formed to work with the Park Service during the implementation of the GMP. Mr. Eddison suggested that Lexington's HATS II members participate with representatives from Concord and Lincoln representing the Town on such a Committee. He saw no need for creating a Federal Advisory Commission for the purpose. Board members concurred with Mr. Eddison's suggestions and the Park Service will be so informed by letter. MINUTES JUNE 11 The minutes of the Selectmen's Meeting on June 11, 1990, were approved as presented. BOWMAN SCHOOL PET ITION, RECYCLING Mrs. Smith referred to the petition of Bowman School pupils and teachers nor the support of the Selectmen of a recycling initiative, an act which would promote environmentally acceptable product packaging. The proposal had been reviewed by Board members and it was agreed that in concept, it was worthy of support, but that details of how to implement the requirement and the costs involved had not been made clear in the Act. Mrs. Smith felt that the Board should urge legislation to study ways to reduce packaging but not to support the Act, which seems simplistic in its approach. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to support, in Now principle, the objectives of the initiative, but not the Act, as presented. A letter will be sent to Bowman School teachers and pupils, informing them of the Board's position. Is Selectmen's Meeting -3- June 25, 1990 CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION Mr. Eddison referred to the Board's practice of thanking citizen volunteers for their service to the Town as members of boards, committees and commissions. He felt that the usual letters of appreciation are not an adequate expression of appreciation for the contributions of time and talents by these volunteers and proposed that, upon retirement or resignation, each outgoing member be given a Certificate of Appreciation, signed by Board Members. He also proposed that each year, two outstanding volunteers would be selected for enrollment on a Distinguished Service Scroll, which would be on permanent display in the Town offices, and be presented with a certificate in recognition of their exceptional contributions. These recipients would be selected by the Selectmen with the assistance of an advisory committee consisting of one Selectmen, the Town Moderator and the Town Manager. Draft designs of the Certificate and Scroll, prepared by Elaine Adler, had been distributed. Mr. Eddison asked for the Board's comments/suggestions /reactions to the proposal. All Board members generally approved of the Certificate of Appreciation for retiring committee members but saw possible pitfalls or difficulties involved in the selection of only one or two people per year for the Distinguished Service Scroll award. Mr. Dailey suggested that the Chairmen of the School Committee and TMMA serve on the selection committee rather than the Town Manager and a Selectman. Mr. Eddison pointed out that the School Committee already honors deserving teachers each year. This award would be primarily aimed at volunteer workers for the Town. He noted that the TMMA is not aware of work which has been done and that the Selectmen are close to what goes on. It was agreed that more time should be given to work out the details on the Distinguished Service award. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to endorse Mr. Edison's proposal for Certificates of Honor for retiring or resigning citizen volunteers who have served at least one year on a Town board, committee or f commission. CONSENT AGENDA ABATEMENTS Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the abatement of Water Charges, $14,097.79 and Sewer Charges, $15,477.78.

He recapped the five recommendations supported by a majority of the Committee on construction of affordable housing at the PM /M site, as presented in the report. The recommendations proposed 40 units of housing with a through road connecting Garfield and Cedar Streets; sale of up to 11 lots for private development; use of $500,000 from LexHAB to reduce the number of lots to be sold; and the awarding of the development contract to Community Builders, Inc. of Boston, to work with LexHAB on construction and management. Mr. Marshall noted the negative positions taken by Planning Board and Conservation Commission members on the April 24th proposal. The Board of Selectmen had agreed, in view of this opposition, that Town Meeting should be asked a three -point question on the matter to determine its view on development of the land. The questions (relative to the number of units, the through road and the sale of lots) were voted against the Neighborhood Plan, presented under Article 56 was also rejected. The Committee had met in July and had concluded that the developer should be designated, there should be 40 units, with a through road and that work be started to explore alternate financing of the construction. The majority of the Committee favored asking the Selectmen to designate Community Builders, Inc. of Boston, as the Developer. Community Builders and Woodhaven Realty were scheduled to present their development plans that evening. Mr. McSweeney questioned why the Planning Board and Conservation Commission had not submitted comments on the two plans and Mr. Marshall pointed out that, as in other affordable housing projects, it had not been the logo intent to solicit comments from Town Boards at that point. He noted that both Boards had been represented on his Committee and that the Planning Director had been involved when his expertise had been called for. "t Selectmen's Meeting -5-- June 25, 1990 Peter Kelley of Woodhaven Realty read a statement to the Selectmen withdrawing his company's plans from consideration because of his disagreement with the selection procedures. Lisa Alberghini, representing Community Builders, distributed outlines of her firm's proposal. Stephen Tise, Architect and Nancy Schreiber were also present. Ms. Alberghini presented an overview of the development plan for 40 units: 20 low income; 10 moderate; and 10 upper moderate income. Also described were the Financing Plans; Lexington role and Long Term Control; Design; and a summary of reasons why Community Builders proposal should be chosen. Mr. Tise described the design of the proposed layout of a linear cluster of 40 units in 2 -3 and 4 -unit buildings, and with a loop road. There would be a buffer of trees shielding. Garfield Street extension, with all units fronting on Garfield Street. Mr. Eddison noted that the number of lots to be sold had been reduced to 4 or 5 and asked the location of those lots. Ms. Alberghini said that nei1hbors input would be important but that the initial recommendation was for lots along the golf course, fronting on the road. Motion was made and seconded to endorse the recommendations of the Pine Meadows / Meagherville Site Plan Development Committee that Community Builders, Inc. of Boston be selected as the agency to develop the Pine Meadows/ Meagherville affordable housing project. Regret was expressed by Mr. Eddison that the Town could not use the talents of both Community Builders and Woodhaven. The favorable experience with Community Builders regarding the Franklin School project and their approach on financing and imaginative development skills were noted. Mr. Marshall echoed Mr. Eddison's remarks and referred to the excellence of Countryside Manor which had been developed by Woodhaven. In response to a question from Mr. Dailey, Mr. Marshall stated that the vote to select the developer did not mean commitment to any specific financing plan. Mrs. Smith said she had been saddened to see Woodhaven withdraw from the process, but would support the PM /M Committee's recommendation. she referred to Community Builder's expertise at financing and their willingness to work with the neighborhood at Franklin School. Motion having been made and seconded, it was voted 4 to 1, with Mr. McSweeney voting in the negative, to approve the selection of Community Builders, Inc. of Boston as developers of the Pine Meadows / Meagherville affordable housing project. Mr. Dailey suggested taking a position on financing as quickly as possible so as not to keep LexHAB from exercising other options by a hold on their funds. He felt that there might be alternatives to using LexHAB funds. Mr. Marshall agreed that decisions on financing should be done as soon as possible. The Site Plan Committee will continue to work with Community Builders to provide the selectmen with information in the near future.
