PUBLIC HEARING N.E. TELEPHONE CO. MARRETT ROAD
Mrs. Smith opened a Public Hearing on the petition of the
New England Telephone Company for a grant of location for
installation of a Service Area Interface pad mounted cabinet on
Town owned land located between #299 and #303 Marrett Road.
In explaining the proposal, Robert Boudreau, representing
the Telephone Company reported that starting at an existing
manhole at Waltham Street, approximately 270 ft. of conduit would
be installed leading to the Town owned parcel.
Mr. Boudreau referred to a previous request by the Selectmen
for a plan of the Town showing all such installations to be
proposed in the future. He presented a Town map color keyed to a
list which identified existing installation, those planned for
1992, and approximately 45 future proposals. He explained that
the cabinets would provide better service and reception,
eliminate wire bridge taps, and would require less maintenance.
The area near the cabinets would be buffered by shrubs or fencing
and Mr. Boudreau offered to send photos of other installations
showing typical landscaping. Mr.- Eddison requested that the
Design Advisory Committee be asked for recommendations on the
color for the cabinets and on the method of buffering.
The Chairman read the favorable recommendations of the
Director of Public works on the Marrett Road proposal. -There
being no further comments, the hearing was declared closed.
Upon motion duly wade and seconded, it was voted to approve
the petition, plans and orders of the New England Telephone
Company for a grant of location for a proposed conduit on Marrett
Road and the placing, of a SAI pad mounted cabinet on Town owned
land located between #299 and #303 Marrett Road.
The approval of the petition was subject to placement of the
cabinet at least 15 feet from the sewer main and on the 299
Marrett Road side of the lot and upon the recommendations of the
Design Advisory Committee as to color of the cabinet and design
of landscaping or other buffering at the site.

COMPOSTING PROGRAM UPDATE
Richard Spiers, Director of Public works, reported on the
status of the Composting Program, which continues to be a
success. The program is in its third year and last May, two new
recycling initiatives were introduced: mandatory recycling of
yard waste (leaves, branches, clippings and Spring cleanings) and
the recycling of white goods (stoves, dryers, refrigerators
etc.). To date, over 40 tons of white goods have been collected
and been disposed of through a scrap metal dealer. The 1989 and
1990 Fall leaf composting projects reduced refuse tonnage by over.
2,000 tons, thus saving in excess of $120,000 in tipping fees and
the actual trash delivered to the incinerator between May and
September was down by about 17 tons from the same period a year
ago.
Mr. Spiers estimated that it costs the Town $50.000 to kee
the Hartwell Avenue landfill open for all programs, including tr
Christmas tree collection program.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE COMMITTEES BUDGET
The School Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee and
Appropriation Committee met with the Board for review of the Town
Manager's projections for appropriations and revenue for FY92 , as
discussed with the Selectmen at previous meetings. Mr. white
reported that it appears that revenue projections will need to be
lowered based on collections received during the first quarter of
FY92.
Mrs. Smith welcomed the members of the three committees and
expressed the Board's appreciation at their w i l l i n g n e s s to work
together on FY93 budget issues.
Mr. White's projection on revenues for FY9 3 assumed a
decrease of ±$1,000,000, in revenue on which he based his
calculations on budget assumptions.
Mrs. Smith explained why Lexington is in its current fiscal
condition, which will, without doubt, be the cause of changes to
the Town as we know it. She pointed out that though fiscal
actions by the State and Federal government have been impacting
cities and towns for the past ten years, they have been even more
harmful during the past two or three years. She felt that State
and Federal governments are abandoning m u n i c i p a l i t i e s , leaving
the chief burden of f i n a n c i a l support to real estate tax payers.
Mr. white reviewed sheets on FY93 Budget Assumptions,
Estimated Revenues, Cherry Sheet, and Free Cash, and anticipated
that level funding is the most that can be expected. In the
event of a deficit, he urged a 50 - 50 split between Town
Government and the School Department to address the shortfall.
He pointed out that there had been a marked change in
federal/state/municipal fiscal relationships and sharing of
revenue, but that no relief from rest r i ct i ons , controls and
mandates for c i t i es and towns has been given, He noted , the
decrease in the Town's cash reserve, which had always maintained
a high balance., but.which now must be used to subsidize operating
expenses. The Mana er spoke of the importance on continuing to
s
or
John Ryan, Comptroller, reported on a comparison of local
revenue between the first 3 months of FY92 and the same period in
FY91, showing investments down, fines & forfeits, constant;
excise tax, minor loss; hotel tax, down, and hopefully, fees,
charges, payments in lieu of taxes, penalties, licenses, permits,
remaining stable, Building Department activity remains the same
in volume, but with no large projects being planned.
Lois Coit, Chairman of the School Committee, reported that
she and Acting Superintendent Barnes are working toward level
funding. A working budget has been completed based on the same
level of programming as last year, which now would require an
increase of $1,000,000 in funding. 'They will now work on
reduction of programs to produce a level f unded budget, hopefu 1 1 y
to be completed before Christmas for discussion by the School
Committee in January.
Paul Hamburger, Chairman of the Capital Expenditures
Committee, said his committee is establishing minimum
requirements for keeping the Town operating, and will proceed
from there.
Selectman Marshall said that he was not as optimistic as the
Town Manager on level funding of local a i d for Lexington. He
referred to a State proposal for reallocation of local a i d to
municipalities, and f e l t that Lexington would lose funding under
Such a p l a n .
Jane Pagett , Chairman of the Appropriation Committee,
questioned why a budget process is being designed around an
o v e r l y o p t i m i s t i c outlook,,
Mr. white responded that it is a best attempt and realistic
approach, given what information is available. He noted that the
evening's meeting represented a first step and had been called to
present a picture of what is to be faced.
Mrs. Smith noted that the one positive aspect in the
discouraging s i t u a t i o n is the involvement of the bright,_
dedicated, caring people in the process, adding that working
together is the o n l y way to get through these troubled t i mes .
Ron Levy of the Appropriation Committee, urged participation
in a "Symposium on Lexington Finances ", sponsored by the
Appropriation Committee, the TMMA, League of women Voters, the
School Committee, Board of Selectmen and the Capital Expenditures
Committee, to be held on November 15, at 9:00 a.m. at the Clarke
Middle Schoo 1.
SPECIAL TOWM MEETI NOVEMBER 4
Mr, white reviewed draft material to be distributed to Town
Meeting Members with explanations and recommendations on Articles
on Reduction of the operating Budget and acceptance of Section
22F, Ch, 40, MGL. A copy of Section 22F was included.
CHAPTER 90 - FY92 RESURFACING -
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to sign a i
Mass. DPW Memorandum of Agreement to f a c i l i t a t e the recept of the
■.r
apportionment of $445,801 in Chapter-90 funds for FY92 .
4 .e
Selectmen's Meeting -7- October 21, 1991
These funds will be used for the resurfacing program that will
begin in the Spring of 1992.
GRACE CHAPEL LOT
Mr. White reported on receiving a 30 -day notice from the
Grace Chapel, terminating the lease on the Muzzey Street parking
lot. In order to offset some of the debt incurred by the Church
purchase of the lot from the Militia Drive Office Park, the
Church Council voted to sell the Belfry lot. The Manager further
noted that he and Marshall Derby, Chairman of LexHAB, had met
with Church representatives and attempted to express the Town's
serious interest in purchasing the parcel. Mr. White had
presented several purchase options ranging from a gift to the
Town to outright purchase and had been led to believe that one of
the options outlined would be acceptable. Instead, the Church
Council decided to sell the property without delay and a purchase
and sale agreement has been signed in excess of $500,040 for a
40,000 sq. ft. residential development. The Chairman of the
Traffic Safety Committee, Peter Chalpin, has been asked to
examine the effects of losing the Belfry lot as a long --term
parking facility in hopes of suggesting some alternatives.
EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION DAY
Mrs. Smith urged Board members to attend the coffee being
arranged in acknowledgement of Employee Recognition Day on
October 24 in the lobby of Cary Hall. The event is being held by
the Town Manager to honor the Town workforce for their years of
dedication and hard work.

Dailey, Mr. McSweeney, to go into Executive Session of matters of
