Chairman Alonzo called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and announced in accordance with
the requirements of the Open Meeting Law, please be advised that this meeting is being
recorded and broadcast over the Lunenburg public access channel. In accordance with the
Governor's Order Suspending Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law, G. L. c. 30A, §

The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance that was recited by Ms. Adams.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
There will be an Annual Meeting (10:00 am) and Election (8:00 am) for the Lunenburg Water
District on Saturday, March 27. There is a non-binding article on their warrant to supply water to
the potential development at Howard Street.
APPOINTMENTS
Meeting with sponsors of Annual Town Meeting articles, including: Representative
from MA Dept. of Agricultural Resources on APR article, Personnel Committee
Chairman on Salary Administration Plan article, Land Use Director on Planning
Board articles, and Cemetery Chairman on Cemetery Commission article.
Ms. Lemieux read the proposed APR match article aloud:
Z. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from available funds the sum of
===PAGE 2===
gifts, bequests, and grants from individuals, groups, corporations and to authorize the Select Board to
enter into an Agricultural Preservation Restriction with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be
held in common with the Town;-or take any other action relative thereto.
Ms. Lemieux noted the Town contribution would be $66,500, if approved. Michele Padula
disclosed that she is also a resident of Lunenburg. Dan and Kathleen Pierce applied in 2020 for
the APR program. They have been growing Christmas trees there for years. Several years ago
they started leasing acreage to Steve Violette, who is growing vegetables. The plan is for
Violette to purchase the land eventually at its agricultural value once the APR is in place. Dan
Pierce will stay on and mentor Violette in the Christmas tree cultivation. It will be a diversified
property. We did appraise 99 acres with the value of $665,000, but Mr. Pierce will be gifting 10
acres, so the APR will be closer to 110 or 110 acres. Typically the town contribution would be
20% but because Lunenburg has a Right to Farm bylaw and an Agricultural Commission, the
contribution is reduced to 10%. The APR is for perpetuity and is scheduled on our program for
FY23. The proposed closing on the property will be between July 2022 and June 2023.
Next was the Salary Administration plan warrant article:

The only question asked about the change was if the proposed spaces were the minimum
requirement. Mr. Burney confirmed that.
Next was the Cemetery Commission's article:
A. To see if the Town will vote to appropriate the sum of $15,000 from the Sale of Cemetery
Lots account to be used for the care and improvement and embellishment of the Town
Cemeteries; or take any other action relative thereto. (Submitted by the Cemetery
Commission)
Ms. Lemieux stated this is a transfer as stated in the article, for care, improvement and
embellishment of the cemeteries. Mr. Tyler reported every year we make an appropriation to
pay for annual expenses. The biggest part is the website for the cemeteries grave location
service for the public. We also purchase veterans' markers for the graves. We did not have an
appropriation last year due to the pandemic. He thanked Monty Tech for their work in the
cemetery on a new building this past year. They did a good job and electrical is being installed
soon. We would like to restore another town cemetery near Cherry Hill and it needs cleaning
up and continue the stone wall there and install an iron gate.

OLD BUSINESS
Discussion on Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, Capital Plan, Financial Forecast and Annual
Town Meeting Warrant articles including voting on recommendations for warrant
articles.
The warrant has closed and there are 32 articles for the annual town meeting. Mr. Alonzo will
work with Ms. Lemieux on the order of them. There are two citizen's petitions.
Appointment Process Procedure Review
The Board reviewed Executive Assistant Peterson's memo regarding the timing and dates for the
appointment process proposed by the Board.
"Due to the fact that we advertise in the Lunenburg Ledger and its deadline to submit articles is Noon of the
Monday before the Friday of that week, AND it is only published on Fridays, I suggest wording for #4 on the
===PAGE 8===
course any applications coming in later than the deadline could be considered but getting the majority of the
committee involvement forms a week earlier would allow for better scheduling on my part."
The Board had no issues with Ms. Peterson's suggestions. Discussion ensued about the
reappointment form and the difference between ad hoc and standing committees; creating
opportunity for people to be appointed when terms are up on positions, not having enough
volunteers coming forward for all the current vacancies and trying to avoid discouraging
people from applying by creating a competitive process of an incumbent against a new
applicant. Since there was lack of consensus on the process since the board began working
on this goal, it will be discussed at a future meeting.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Announcement on Existing Vacancies:
The following is a list of vacancies on the following committees:
• Architectural Preservation District Commission (1 vacancy)

• Cultural Council (1 vacancy)

• Senior Property Tax Workoff Committee (1 vacancy)

Old Primary School Property:
I asked the DPW Director to solicit quotes for a survey for the Old Primary School property and it turns out
that Dillis & Roy Civil Engineering Group had conducted field work 10-12 years ago for a developer who
was looking to purchase the property from the Town and they can update the existing conditions plan for
us for $750. Weare ableto cover this under the Facilities budget in FY21 so there will not be a need to
include this cost in the article for design services at the Annual Town Meeting.
The DPW Director is also securing quotes for a full landscape design of the old Primary School
property. This funding willberequested at the Annual Town Meeting and the recommendation willbe to
take this out of Free Cash.
Updates from the DPW Director:
The new dump truck that was approved as part of the FY21 Capital Plan is registered and on the road.
Thespring paving schedule is being worked out by the DPW Director but will most likely include Whalom
Road from Electric Ave. to Summer Street, Electric Avenue from trattic lightsto the Leominster line,

Update from PACC on Running a Hybrid Meeting:
Public Access is encountering audio issues when testing out an in person meeting and broadcastinga Zoom
meeting simultaneously. The issue they are having is the audio for Zoom is connected to the same mixer
as the microphones. They are currently in the process of coming up with an audio fix and will keep me
updated.
Update on Earmark for Primary School Fire Alarm Upgrade:
After reaching out to our legislators, they put me in touch with the state agency that the $25,000 earmark
we received for the Primary School Fire Alarm Upgrade and after speaking with that office, these funds
would have to be spent by June 30, 2021. The only way we could get an extension is through a vote of
the legislature either in a supplemental budget bill or the FY22 state budget approval. I have emailed all
three of our legislators to request they file this, either as part of a supplemental budget bill (there is not
one pending right now) or through the FY22 State budget process. As we have been told by the School
Facilities Director, we cannot do this project without funding in place for the entire cost of the project
which is $127,000.
COVID-19 Update
COVID-19 in Lunenburg:
The Board of Health issued their weekly update and the cumulative laboratory confirmed number of
COVID-19 cases reported to the Town as of March 12th was 665 and one death. The State report shows

status. Residents may opt out of their preregistration at any time if they secure an
appointment elsewhere.
• When an appointment becomes available at a mass vaccination site, the
resident will be notified and will have 24 hours to accept the appointment
once it is offered to them. If an appointment is not accepted after 24 hours, the
resident will go back into the queue to wait for anotherappointment.
• To accommodate older residents and others who are unable to use the form, the
preregistration form allows family members, caregivers, or other companions to
fill out the form on behalf of someone else. Residents who do not have internet
access or someone to fill the form out for them can call 2-1-1 to preregister.
State Distribution:
Last week, the state received a constrained supply of about 155,000 first doses. First doses and
second dose allocations (total doses) this week were divided among providers as follows:
• Mass vaccination sites: 83,000
• Hospital Providers (both private and public): 79,000
• Regional Collaboratives (12 total): 38,000
• Community Health Centers: 25,000
• Local Boards of Health (to complete 2nd dose appointments
and support 20 disproportionately impacted communities):
25,000
Weekly allocations are subject to change based on federal availability, demand from
providers, and obligations to meet second doses. Providers have 10 days to use their doses.
Federal Doses:
In addition to the state allocation, the federal government distributes vaccines to CVS Health
sites as part of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership as well as to certain Massachusetts
federally qualified community health centers. These quantities fluctuate on a weekly basis and
are not counted as part of the state's weekly allocation.
Last week, 95,000 first and second doses have been allocated to the retail pharmacy program
and 19,000 Johnson & Johnson doses have been allocated to the federally qualified health
Individuals looking to book appointments across any of these providers should visit
mass.gov/COVIDvaccine to learn more.
Dedicated Educator Vaccination Days at Mass Vaccination Sites

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Bob Pease, 11 Wintergreen Court, stated five years ago he became interested in the work of the
Conservation Commission, so he attended meetings for four months as an associate member. A
vacancy came up and I applied; I was the only applicant and I was appointed. I served on the
commission for three years and went to lots of meetings and on site walks. I just hope when
reappointments come up you put yourself in the shoes of the volunteer who has spent a lot of
time learning the job, trying to do a good job and how is it going to impact the volunteer. How
are they going to feel about their commitment by the way we treat them during the
reappointment process?
Ms. Adams thanked Mr. Pease for his comments and stated she believed there could be a better
process. Mr. Marino stated he hoped Mr. Pease was still tuning in because he believed he was
an outstanding member of the commission. This is exactly what we should try to avoid
happening.
