Notes
- ↑ Note that not all public records are stored as a matter of custom in the Public Records Portal. The easiest way to search through portal content is to use a specialized Google search instead of the Laserfiche search mechanism - i.e. type "site:records.lexingtonma.gov text-to-search..." in the Google search box.
- ↑ Check the date when the bylaws web copy was last updated at the top of the page. The bylaws web copy may be behind by a number of months.
- ↑ The old version of the Lexington City web site, http://ci.lexington.ma.us, has operated between 2000 and 2013, and can still be browsed at the Internet Archive Way Back Machine
- ↑ The Lexington Public Schools web site has gone through several older versions: 1998 - 2002 and 2002-2012. Old versions can still be browsed at the Internet Archive Way Back Machine. Mirrors of old versions can also be found on our Web Site Mirrors page.
