Although many services, programs and facilities remain closed to the public due to the Covi'd-19 pandemic and resulting State of Emergency declared by Governor Charlie Baker. The closures of 2020 included the cancellation of the entire spring session of indoor and outdoor programs, services and facilities. Discontinuing access to health and wellness, organized and drop-in activities, athletic leagues in addition to public use of playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts and fields has significantly impacted the community. The spring season typically includes preparations for summer including thousands of registrations, onboarding hundreds of staff and volunteers in addition to the traditional seasonal opening of the Town Pool. Virtual services continue and the Pine Meadows Golf Coursehas reopened with reduced services, following safety guideliines. j The Recreation and Community Programs Department has operated as an Enterprise Fund since 1991. Programs are self-supported by setting user fees to cover all expenses. The Director of Recreation and Community Programs, through the Recreation Committee, sets fees with the approval of the Select Board.. The Recreation and Community Programs Department operating budget supports staff that manages and delivers recreation programs, services and facilities along with the supplies needed to operate and deliver services. Surplus revenues generated through the Enterprise helps fund Capital Improvement Projects and financially supports the professional staff to administer the department in addition to the In Direct costs associated with support from Town Services such as those provided directly by the Department of Public Works and various town departments. The cancellations of programs, services and facility closures has devastated the Recreation Enterprise Fund. The loss of this revenue stream is forecasted to total over$1M. The Retained Earnings balance of the Enterprise Fund is approximately$670K and will be completely absorbed by this revenue loss and will likely require support from the Tax Levy for FY20. Thoughtful, creative and fiscally sound decisions will be necessary for building a financial recovery plan for FY21 and beyond for financial viability. Staff have developed, created and implemented programs, services and facilities throughout the pandemic which have adhered to the guidelines, responded to the needs of the community and continues to strive for financial sustainability. As services resume, a phased approach has been adopted where the health, safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers and patrons guides us towards full restoration of services. A measured approach and adhering to the t;uide'lines is necessary to ensure forward progress and to prevent further closures. yr IexMt? is nm ._ggy[recreatis,n rec�ept�lexin,�konm�,eav 39 MARRETT ROAD, LEXINGTON,MA 02421 Services will continue be addressed holistically as well as site/service specific based on the local decisions and ability to meet guidelines received from the CDC, NRPA, Public Health leaders and local authorities.

For more information of Lisa, please see attached bio. In brief, she is a Lexington High Graduate and Hall of Fame Athlete from the Class of 1981. A METCO student who continued on to succeed at Syracuse University, Lisa then returned to share her gifts with Lexington as a special education teacher, resident and assistant coach for Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field over a period of 12 years, (1986-1990, 2013-2021). She is also the mother of two, Alex (LHS '16) and CJ (LHS sophomore). Lisa passed from cancer in March 2021. Lisa's commitment is evident as she continued to coach and teach right up to the weeks prior to her death after returning home from the hospital on Hospice. Four days before her passing she asked "Do my sprinters have the workout they need?" Just as she pushed for her athletes and students, she did the same in life for herself and those who were lucky enough to know her. She is an inspiration to many. Peter Coleman wrote, "Yes, I had heard about Coach Cox's untimely passing. From my experience working with her when she led our Minuteman Track Clinic, she was an incredible coach and cared deeply about the children and the sport." The bench is identical to the ones already at the track: DuMor Bench 6 ft., hunter green paint, cedar recycled plastic seat and back, #143-60pi. The bench is purchased and supplied by O'Brien and Sons of Medway MA, httos://www,obrienandsp,ns,,.com The bench would be shipped to the Town of Lexington. The bench will include a dedication plaque. The plaque is made by DuMore Inc and imbedded on the bench's back support. The background of the plaque would be black with silver tone writing embellishment. Attached is a proof from DuMor which features 2 photos and text. An additional attachment features an example with 1 photo, a sample QR code and text. DuMor's representative said they can substitute a QR code with, one of the photos and have success with the QR code functioning. Our first choice is the one that has a OR code. We hope that it could link to a webpage on the Recreation Department's website that would provide Lisa's Bio. The bench installation will be on a concrete pad (similar color to existing walkways). O'Brien and Sons cannot install until later this year. We are hoping the town can facilitate the installation with cost provided from our funds. The location we are requesting is as noted on the following pictures near the start of the 200 meter dash, facing the track between the covered picnic area and the entrance to the Yong jump. This is the location Lisa would always seek to provide words of support for the athletes' last push to the finish line.

Coach (Sprints) 1986 - 1990 2013 - 2021 During her time as a coach at LHS,the teams have been extremely successful, and an integral part of that was Lisa's work with the sprinters. With Coach Cox at the helm of our sprinter group, LHS had numerous student- athletes attain Boston Globe All-Scholastic and Boston Herald All-Scholastic. Under her guidance, LHS track athletes became All State champions, New England champions, as well as All Americans. Sending individuals and relays to the High School National Track Championships became a regular occurrence within her event group. This is not to say Coach. Cox only worked with the best. Whoever was in front of Lisa, they got the best coaching advice possible. If someone was having a difficult practice, Lisa would not hesitate to get to the bottom of why they were having a bad j day. No matter what it involved, whether it was track, friends, or family, Lisa gave them the time to talk it out. Of course, at the end, Lisa usually carne back with some sage advice and an embracing hug. Lisa's dedication and passion for bringing out the best in her athletes did not slow down with her August 2019 cancer diagnosis. In 2020, Lisa was honored as the recipient of the prestigious Bill O'Connor Courage& Humanitarian Award by the Massachusetts State Track.Coaches Association. This award represented how Lisa had lived and coached while overcoming adversity and hardship and put her athletes before herself. Lisa George-Cox Teacher - Special Educator Lisa George-Cox was an incredible person who will always be remembered by the Lexington Public School, Meadow Brook Day Camp, and Weston Public School staff and families that she was devoted to. Lisa was a wonderful asset to co-teachers and support staff in our preschool. She was a team player filled with creative ideas, constructive comments and a way of seeing the bright side of a situation even when the day was challenging. Lisa was highly respected and loved by all those that worked with her. Lisa had a strong knowledge of working with students on the Autism spectrum. She was great at connecting with students who needed a little extra TLC. Lisa was a wonderful asset to families as well by supporting these families with at home strategies to help the parents as well as the child. Facilities home-school connections was very important to her. Lisa was a kind hearted and loving teacher who always followed through with expectations while having FUN with the child. Her students beamed when they saw Lisa each day! And, being the thoughtful person she was, made sure she greeted each child in return and tried to make them feel special. Lisa took pride in her appearance and how she presented herself. Lisa didn't see race, color or a disability in people. She just saw the person. She was a great example of how to be respectful to oneself and others. Lisa's tremendous sense of humor, positive attitude, brilliant smile, immense kindness, and willingness to go that extra mile for people will long be remembered and missed. Statements of Former Athletes of Lisa George-Cox When I think about people who have impacted my life in a significant way, Coach Lisa is the first person that comes to mind. I started running track during my freshman year of high school and I struggled early on with my confidence. My grades weren't great, I was adjusting to meeting new people, and I truly felt that I was not good at anything.After joining the track team, Lisa instilled in me a willingness to accept that all things worth having require hard work. I vividly remember during my freshman year, on numerous occasions Coach Lisa Would give us a hard workout and I would immediately go to the bathroom with a "stomach bug". But as the years went on, I began to embrace her stem but loving philosophy. She was like a mother figure to me and every word she said to me had meaning. She expected a lot from her athletes but her athletes would run through a brick wall for her. By the end of my high school running career, I had won the state meet twice and placed second in the All-State meet. But most importantly I became a person that was confident, disciplined and a leader. Without her guidance taking me through my Lips and downs in track and in life, the trajectory of my life would drastically change. I owe that to Coach Lisa. Coach Lisa used to always say"Hate me:now, love me later" when referring to hard workouts she put us through. But the reality is simple. Even during the toughest times, I loved Lisa then. I love Lisa now, and I will always love Lisa. -Noah Shiite, LHS '17 Coach Cox was one of the most supportive, patient, and positive coaches I have [lad the honor to be coached by. When I was lucky enough to train with her, I was always so impressed with her level of knowledge and her ability to clearly communicate her expectations. She gave You tough love and Pushed You beyond your lit-nits; not because she wanted to make things hard for you but because she believed in you and believed You could Succeed. She treated all team members equally and with respect, and wanted the best for everyone. She selflessly dedicated numerous hours teaching us not only how to be better runners, but also how to be better people. Coach Cox's contributions will never be forgotten, as they have shaped us into who we are today, -Alicia Steinkrauss, LHS '16 G Ms. Lisa always has bright and loving energy she cared for nye more than just an athlete, she made me feel like one of her children. Her coaching was the perfect blend of encouragement and constructive criticism she really knew how to get the best out of her athletes. She always radiated positivity and taught me valuable life lessons that I've carried with me through the years.. -Melissa Solomon, LHS `16 Lisa would always say "hate me now, love me later." The meaning for that changed throughout high school from this workout is going to suck, to Lisa knows my potential, she knows I can complete this workout, and I can be better. Just by saying that she helped me gain confidence in myself on and off the track. Lisa was not only my coach, but my number one fan. -Hannah Neufeld, LHS `16 I i i i 1164W , Lexington RECKEATION&COMmUNITY MEMORANDUM TO: Recreation Committee FROM: Melissa Battite DATE: May 14, 2021 SUBJECT: Center Recreation Complex—Athletic Lighting and Tennis The Center Recreation Complex Athletic Lighting Project mobilized in the fall of 2020 as pat of the Recreation Committee 5 year capital plan. This project included upgrades to the basketball courts and pool lighting and the replacement and addition of new athletic lighting at the tennis courts. The athletic lighting system is a MUSCO product which is the leader in sports lighting systems. In the fall of 2020, concerns were raised and brought to my attention by two abutters specific to the tennis light illumination, the use of the practice board areas and ambient sound levels from the practice board use. Over the past six months, regular communications have continued via email inclusive of several additional abutters. All of the parks and open space in Lexington (and nationwide) are experiencing a significant increase in use. Many neighborhoods and community members have been able to access outdoor recreation facilities during this past 15 months, many who otherwise may not have in the past and have been able to access safe and healthy outdoor options. The increased demand for facilities and services coupled with residents spending more time at home and in some cases working from home has impacted abutters to parks and open spaces throughout town differently as compared to traditional use prior to March 2020. Staff have been able to respond to many of the suggestions provided by the Center Recreation Center Tennis court abutters, with short term solutions, while identifying others that will require a more thoughtful and long term plan. Below is a list of the questions and concerns raised along with the action items that have been taken to date. The FY23 Recreation 5 year capital plan includes the reconstruction of the ten tennis courts and inclusion for some of the next step/long term solutions could be included in that upcoming project. Staff looks forward to continuing the discussions with the Recreation Committee and residents as we continue to create, sustain and provide high quality outdoor recreation facilities for all members of the Lexington community. Tennis Courts Athletic Lighting Concerns&Action items to date guestion/Concern: Level of light and impact on abutters Action 1: System was tested, very little light spillage beyond court surface and much improved from the previous system. System allows for high, medium and low settings. The current setting is at low and maintains the proper lighting for recreational use. Should competitive play occur, the lights will be set to medium (ie: evening LHS match). Action 2: Windscreens have been ordered for the fencing that is along all 10 courts facing the property line/abutters to reduce the "glow" being experienced by abutters. Although the light spillage is minimal,the new system has created a new"glow" coming from the courts. question/Concern: Hours of use Action: Hours of use remain the same as previous years for the tennis courts which is 8arn— 9pm. The courts are reserved for use through an online program. The lights are then programmed based on that particular days reservations. Courts 1-4 do have some hours for drop in play as in previous years. Practice Boards Use and Sound Concern:The three practice boards are being used at all hours and ambient sound is problematic for abutters. (Please note, this is not associated with the new lights installed at the courts) Action 1: The practice board closest to the park/abutter property line has been removed. Action 2: The signs and hours of use have been adjusted to mirror that of the tennis courts (8am—9pm). Prior to April 2021, the three practice boards had hours posted beginning at 9:30am which created confusion for the players and with no enforcement became problematic for the abutters. With the elimination of 1/3 of the boards and in an effort to respond to the demand for use of the amenities, aligning the hours of use with the tennis courts will serve two purposes. It reduces the total number of hours lost for play while simultaneously reducing the total number of hours of use and therefor the overall ambient sound previously created by the third board. Although the park is open dawn to dusk, the use of the courts, practice boards and permits for fields begin at 8am. Community members will often use park resources despite the posted signage at which time if it becomes problematic, the LPD are a resource for enforcement. Next:1: The FY23 capital project will include the replacement of the existing boards with new technology that reduces the sound. Next Step 2: Consider planting additional trees along the property line closest to the practice boards 2 Misc Park Feedback Question/Concern: Vehicular parking at the swing set at Center Recreation Complex Action 1: Vehicle owners have been identified and parking has been moved to designated spaces adjacent to the storage containers and DPW maintenance area. Action 2: Signage and chain installed to prevent future vehicles accessing this area of the playground. Question/Concern: Condition and use of the footpath and trees between property line/abutters and the tennis fencing. Action 1: The contractor for the athletic lighting installation is responsible to remove debris and j clean up area from construction and vehicle impact during the project. j Action 2: Reduce vehicular traffic to prevent any damage to the footpath conditions. All trash barrels on the footpath side of the tennis courts have been removed which eliminates the need for the truck to access the barrels on that side of tennis courts. Vehicular access is limited to maintenance and or scheduled capital and or emergency work. Next Steps: review the footpath, tree covering, root system and shaded areas and determine intended use and maintenance planning. 3 ri 4 w Q- CSA 0 � � � 0Iz •--• 4-J Z E •- 4 N E co a Q1 0 C �5 m © Q �0 co a L N a C +a q.� CLQ 'CL r CO Co 1 4-J c M 4-J a) a C Q w (1) ate+ a ac U _0 4-J c- a U 4-' Ll ) =3 ro f`- >� cy' s� U 0 .— v � > > a Ln tio Q) '4-J }' a 0 (U V E V) to a C) `n >% o a — a Cll C) CSA cin 4-Ja a - = 0 � � � � �- J +.j wbn E a o o u h- � as m a +� '� C-Ln a '0 a a zU- m C) uo E i C 4A 4. a-J qJ C6 `i c }J 6 (3} 4 Vl 4--a n Q (3) V CL Q) Q i a-J +.J i i cu Cly C�1 > Ln L- 0 Cly cu 0 .--.. _ 4 Z d coE q � A 0 Ln u -0 < 3 Q rZ C� R4—j,7 o 0 V C- -10 W -0 'a cs � Jaz co o F- a :4-, ur) U �4-' _ •- 7 �> � 0 -� .�.M M - ' 4-, to Lo -C --� 0 U 4-J V) QJ -0 4) v m 0 4-d -�' -� u Q �. p .�.
