Marilyn Fenollosa, the <br /> representative from the Historical Commission, currently serves as Chair, with Richard Wolk <br /> from the Conservation Commission serving as Vice-Chair. The CPC welcomed one new <br /> member in 2018: Lisah Rhodes (Recreation Committee Appointee). <br /> The CPC is responsible for reviewing applications for funding under the CPA and <br /> recommending to Town Meeting expenditures of CPA funds on those projects it supports each <br /> year. Committee decisions are made within the framework of a CPC planning document, Town <br /> of Lexington Community Preservation Plan: A Needs Assessment, which is updated annually <br /> after the Committee receives comments at a public hearing. This document can be found on the <br /> CPC website at the reference below. The CPC works closely with the Finance Department staff <br /> and the Capital Expenditures and Appropriation Committees in tracking CPA fund balances <br /> and expenditures,projecting available funding for future years, and planning fund allocations <br /> for each of the areas eligible for CPA funding. The CPC Administrative Assistant currently <br /> tracks over 50 ongoing CPC projects, for which updates are given in this report after the FY20 <br /> Project Descriptions. <br /> 3 <br />
