Everyone will brainstorm policy issues that Selectmen should address at their June 28
goal setting meeting.
Meeting Began:
7:50 a.m.
Revised March meeting minutes and April meeting minutes were approved.
Focus Groups:
The Committee plans to schedule several additional focus groups. Discussion led into topic of
how to re-validate goals beyond focus group input, given that there have been small numbers of
participants and the groups are not representative of the community at large.
Community Survey:
Chuck suggested that a survey could provide direction for 2020 vision going forward. Dan
mentioned that Somerville has an ongoing program to collect data; he will call them to learn
more. Richard said he was impressed with the response the School Department’s recent survey
on transportation, and commented that people respond to polls about hot button issues. Candy
said she will find out what response Arlington gets to their annual questionnaire. The Committee
may want to create a subgroup to work on the idea of a Lexington survey.
Input to BOS Goal Setting:
The Selectmen have requested input from all boards and committees to their annual goal setting
meeting in June. Richard mentioned transportation issues, particularly school traffic. Margaret
commented that we’re hearing from groups that people want to participate more but don’t know
how. Discussion will continue next month.
