Under current guidelines,the program is open to persons aged 60 and <br /> older with household income up to$90,000.The maximum reduction that may be earned is $1,755 per <br /> household per year, representing 130 hours at$13.50 per hour. We are asking the Select Board to <br /> approve a dollar amount increase from $13.50 per hour to$15.00 per hour, as that is the current rate <br /> for minimum wage. <br /> The program is valuable to the Lexington community as it allows residents to give back to the <br /> community, reduce property tax bills, age in place, and remain in their homes. <br /> Cc; Select Board <br /> 39 MARRETT ROAD•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
