The exact amount is currently unknown but it's anticipated that the funding request <br /> will be ready in advance of Annual Town Meeting. The Town plans to meet with the proprietors of the <br /> adjacent Scottish Rite to discuss the project in early 2018." <br /> (Brown Book XI-23) <br /> Negotiations continue with the Trustees of the Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of <br /> Freemasonry—which organization owns the roadway right-of-way between Marrett Road and the <br /> Lexington Community Center—and there is confidence that an agreement will be reached to provide the <br /> Town with an easement to the land adjacent to the roadway for the new sidewalk. DPW's Engineering <br /> staff has designed a sidewalk to that alignment as well as for the accompanying modifications to the <br /> gateway at Marrett Road. (Ramps and a crosswalk across Marrett Road, if needed, would be at an <br /> additional cost estimated at $34,000, but are not included in this request as they are not eligible for <br /> funding from the CPF.) <br /> Project Description(CPA Category) q ount Funding Committee Recommends <br /> Reeuested Source <br /> (c) Archives and Records <br /> Management/Records Conservation& $20,000 CPF (Cash) Approval (6-0) <br /> Preservation(Historic Resource) <br /> "This FY2019 request will fund the conservation and preservation of historic municipal documents and <br /> records, specifically the remaining old Town papers from 1722-1923. Significant progress has been made <br /> in preserving Lexington's historic documents but there remains a continuing need to preserve records <br /> from the early 1900s and make them accessible. It is projected that this will be a yearly request for <br /> treatment/digitization/microfilming of records. The preservation and conservation of permanent records <br /> for archiving creates the basis for documenting Lexington's history for the future." <br /> (Brown Book XI-26) <br /> 38 <br />
