Manager. The Board of Selectmen have yet to take a final vote on the project. The (7-2) CPC voted that if the Selectmen vote not to support the Visitor Center project, the Committee would not oppose its indefinite postponement. Ms. Manz will notify the applicant of this decision. Mr. Kanter reported that the CEC will likely suggest indefinite postponement of the project. c.)ACROSS Lexington Pedestrian/Bicycle Route System, $5,000 – Ms. Manz informed the Committee that an additional $875 is being carried on the tax levy side for this project. This is a result of the initial proposal of $5,875 being carried through the budget process. The additional funds will likely be used for GIS mapping, consulting, or maps and brochures, for which CPA funds cannot be used. 3. Executive Session.
