Summary of Recommended Community Preservation Act <br /> Funding under Article 4 for Special Town Meeting #2 <br /> FY 2016 <br /> Under Article 4, Cary Memorial Building Sidewalks, the Community Preservation <br /> Committee is recommending the appropriation of$194,200 in CPA funding for the <br /> construction of accessible sidewalks to and around the building. This project involves the <br /> implementation of plans to construct walkways in front and to the sides of the building. The <br /> CPC voted (8-0) to support the renovations to the Cary Memorial Building, a decision which <br /> follows on their continuing support for the renovation and rehabilitation of one of Lexington's <br /> most historic and treasured buildings. <br /> This project has been evaluated by the CPC in light of the articulated criteria for <br /> eligibility and appropriateness under the Community Preservation Act(CPA) and has been <br /> vetted by Town Counsel. Discussions of the project were held in public meetings in December, <br /> 2014 and during the winter/early spring of 2015. All votes on the project were conducted in <br /> public meetings with attendance of interested parties and stakeholders. This project was <br /> presented by the CPC Chair at the Town Meeting Members Association Information Session <br /> on March 12, 2015. <br />
