09/21/2022 AC Minutes 4 The Town Pool domestic hot water heater needs to be replaced. The question is whether to use an electrically powered heater or a fossil-fuel fired heater. A presentation on this was recently given at a Select Board meeting. It appears that an electric heater solution may be practical at a cost of about $35,000, much less than earlier estimates. Center Sidewalk Extensions It is expected that there will be a request for the appropriation of $700,000 under this article for the replacement of brick sidewalks on side streets off of Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington Center. Replacement of the subject sidewalks is not covered under the previous appropriation for the Center Streetscape Project. Mr. Michelson noted that the new sidewalks are much better quality than the current (old) sidewalks and that they would improve accessibility and safety. Ms. Kosnoff noted that the idea is to add the proposed work to the current Center streetscape contract. Committee Assignments Mr. Michelson will work on the two affordable housing related articles. Mr. Osborne volunteered to work on the sidewalk article and to work with Mr. Michelson on the housing articles. Mr. Bartenstein volunteered to work on the FY2023 budget adjustments article. Mr. Levine will cover the OPEB article if it goes forward and will work with Mr. Bartenstein on the FY2023 budget adjustments article. There was discussion of making a report shell in WDesk. Mr. Parker has asked Ms. Kosnoff to make a WDesk account for Mr. Osborne. Minutes of Prior Meetings There was a motion and a second to approve the minutes of the AC meeting of September 8, 2022.
