3 that the cycle has come around to where Bridge School athletic fields are ready for a new renovation. Mr. Pressman asked what types of fields are at Bridge School and who uses them. Mr. Filadoro stated that there is one baseball and one softball field. Mr. Coleman stated that Lexington High School uses the outfield space for their Ultimate Frisbee team and that the Bridge School uses the fields for PE classes and recess. Mr. Coleman added that Lexington Little League uses the fields for their youth baseball and softball programs. Ms. Fenollosa asked if Lexington Little league pays for the use of the field or if it falls under one of the Recreation Department’s recreation programs. Mr. Coleman explained that Lexington Little League qualifies as a "Tier 2” rental program and that for use of natural grass fields the organization pays a flat rate per participant for the season. Mr. Coleman also stated that there are other organizations that meet these criteria, including Lexington Babe Ruth (the next step in Youth Baseball after Little League), Lexington United Soccer Club and Lexington Youth Lacrosse. Mr. Pressman then asked if the money raised goes into the Enterprise Fund. Mr. Coleman stated that it does. Mr. Beuttell stated that in his professional capacity in the City of Cambridge he was aware that their policies are such that CPC funds are not put into projects on school property. Mr. Beuttell explained that the idea behind such a restriction is that when CPC funds are used to improve an area, it becomes “protected open space,” and that Cambridge, when attempting to move a school building and disturbing the footprint of a playground, was found to have violated Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution. Ms. Fenollosa shared what Lexington Town Counsel had opined on the matter: “Article 97 issues certainly come up when a town dedicates any property to park and arguably playground use. The CPA’s funding is not on its own what would create this concern; a property is more likely to have Article 97 protections because of its existing use as a field, not because of additional CPA funding. Mr. Beuttell also asked about the Weston & Simpson report and the number of hours that were used by the different types of fields-- specifically, whether or not due to the shift on what spring sports are being played there would be a reduction in diamond fields (baseball/softball) and expansion of the number of multi-use fields for sports such as soccer and lacrosse. Mr. Filadoro stated that they have previously worked with Lexington Little League to make some of their fields more multi use. Ms. Battite also added that the very reason for the Weston & Sampson report was to become more efficient in the use of existing fields for sports that go beyond the spring/fall model to a three- season or year-round model. Ms. Battite also stated that the current permitting system gives preference to those sports that are in their traditional season. Ms. Krieger asked about the source of water for the irrigation of the field. Mr. Filadoro then stated that the irrigation system would be tied into the Town’s water supply. Ms. Krieger then asked if there was any consideration to using well water at these sites instead of tying into the Town. Mr. Filadoro said that with the necessary infrastructure to create a well and to keep it running would not be worth it. Mr. Sandeen asked about the DPF plans and timing of Bridge School’s potential renovation. Ms. Battite stated that she did not know when exactly Bridge School would be completely rebuilt but most likely in 5 to 8 years , and after the completion of
