It was mentioned that in the original project Minuteman had a sole partnership with the Town of Lexington. Minuteman may now seek other alternative partnerships to achieve the full build such as neighboring towns or organizations. Of the total $4.9 million alternative build cost, $1 million is requested from the CPC, $50,000 would come out of the Recreation Enterprise Fund each year for the next 10 years, and $3.4 million from the General Fund. Mr. Pato asked if the field access remains the same, if there will be access to the restrooms, and if the terms of the IMA have changed since the Town contribution has decreased. Ms. Battite explained that the only restroom access would be portable stalls and that the facilities located inside Minuteman would be off limits. Ms. Battite explained that Town Counsel is reviewing the revised proposal and that many details are still unknown but the Town will have access to the same number of field hours. Mr. Pressman asked how much the tennis courts cost. Ms. Battite stated that the tennis courts cost approximately$700,000. Ms. Manz asked to clarify if there would be a reduction in the number of field hours that the Town has access. Ms. Battite stated that there would not be a reduction in the amount of hours the Town has access.
