<br /> October 17, 2007 <br />Minutes <br />Town of Lexington Appropriation Committee <br />October 17, 2007 <br /> <br />Place and time: Cary Memorial Building, Ellen Stone Room, 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Members present: Alan Levine (Chair), Rod Cole (Vice-Chair), John Bartenstein <br />(Secretary), Deborah Brown, Richard Eurich, Susan McLeish, Eric Michelson, Rob <br />Addelson (ex officio, non-voting). <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:37 with a quorum present. <br /> <br />Discussion of Shire and TIF (Warrant Article 2) <br />1. . Thanks were expressed <br />to Eric Michelson for pulling together our report to the Special Town Meeting <br />and for having it printed. A discussion ensued regarding the $2.6 million of <br />infrastructure amounts and what would happen if the state did not come <br />through with the amounts by 6/1/12. Rob Addelson indicated that the Town <br />would be aggressive in pursuing the state grants, and that it would go ahead <br />with the projects even if it became evident that Shire was not moving ahead <br />with their planned construction. Shire has a commitment to pay for any <br />shortfall in what the state pays for by 6/15/2012, so it is unlikely that the <br />Town would pursue any decertification (if Shire does not move forward with <br />their planned construction) before that date. <br /> <br />School Committee Meeting with Burlington. <br />2. Deborah Brown indicated that <br />an agenda item for our next meeting would be the meeting that she attended <br />between the Lexington School Committee and the Town of Burlington <br />regarding budgeting out-of-district spending in the shared expenses budget <br />instead of the school budget. <br /> <br />Future Meeting Schedule. <br />3. Our next meeting will be on October 30, and <br />another is scheduled for 11/13. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Susan A. McLeish <br /> <br /> <br />Approved October 30, 2007 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - 1 - <br />
