6.Upcoming Meetings: The Town Meeting Members Association plans to discuss the CPA th warrant articles on March 12 in the Lexington High School Science Building. Ms. Fenollosa plans to attend. 7.Member Concerns: Ms. Fenollosa reported the following: Article 8(g) (Cary Memorial Building Sidewalk Enhancements) in the ATM warrant will be indefinitely postponed; this article is being included in a 2015 Special Town Meeting warrant, which means it won’t be necessary to wait until FY2016 to access the funds. The Town has offered the administrative assistant position that supports this Committee to one of the candidates. Supplemental state funding for CPA projects from the State budget surplus is not likely to continue indefinitely unless there is a permanent funding source. Stuart Saginor is urging people to write their legislators to encourage legislation to address this issue. If the appropriation of $755,000 from CPA funds for the purchase of Wright Farm - Parcel 2 is approved by Town Meeting, it will be necessary to eventually allocate the costs into open space and housing categories. There will not be a historical component included with this purchase. th Mr. Canale reported that a Historic Preservation Forum is going to be held on March 30 to discuss historic preservation planning.It is being sponsored by three sub regions of the Metropolitan Planning Council, including Minuteman Advisory Group on Interlocal Coordination (MAGIC), which includes Lexington. He doesn’t know what time is being considered for the forum. He noted that it could potentially conflict with Town Meeting, which is scheduled for that evening. The meeting was adjourned at 3:54 p.m. The documents used at the meeting are listed below.
