a short article in Lexington Minuteman to inform the public about the CPA funding process. Ms. Rice will draft the article for Committee review. 8. Parking Stickers for CPC Members — Due to conflicts experienced in the previous meeting cycle, members asked whether parking stickers could be obtained for parking in the rear of Town Offices. (There had been an afternoon Children's Symphony practice last year, which made it very difficult for CPC members to find parking on Thursday afternoons.) Ms. Rice will look into the matter. (It was subsequently found that the symphony is over at 2:00 pm on Thursdays and therefore should not present a problem for parking.) 9. Update on Possible FY15 Projects — Ms. Rice and Ms. Fenollosa updated the CPC on possible projects for FYI based upon conversations with department heads. Updates were as follows: There will be no Archives and Records application for FYI 5; no Historical Society submittal; several Recreation proposals; a likely Cary Memorial Building Upgrades application for $7.9 million dollars; and a Lexington Housing Authority (LHA) application for funding for renovations to Greeley Village. The LHA request would enable the Authority to leverage 2 /3rds of the project cost in the form of grant monies from the State. It is likely that the LHA will receive final approval of their grant request by October 3o Ms. Fenollosa asked Ms. Rice to put together a spreadsheet on expected FY 15 project requests for CPA funding. 10. Historical Preservation Conference — Ms. Fenollosa notified members that there would be a Statewide Historical Preservation Conference on October 18 at the Cary Memorial Building and other locations throughout the Town. There will be round table discussions on the CPA funding for historical projects at which Stuart Saginor from the Community Preservation Coalition will be speaking. More information on the Conference can be found at mapreservationconference.org. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 pm. The following documents were presented at the meeting: 1. A packet containing the following: "Town of Lexington 33 Marrett Road Purchase, Special Town Meeting" dated March 14, 2012 (this should have been dated 2013); the Town Clerk's Certificate for FYI for Article 14, for the funding of $100,000 in CPA funds for design development for Marrett Road; and "Phase 1 Timeline ", dated September 12, 2013 which depicted the proposed development process for Marrett Road. 2.
