February 4, 2019 Page 3 of 10 be done on the two establishments in question. Lieutenant Barry stated that checks are done at least once a year with a new Department goal of increasing to twice a year. Ms. Barry noted that one of the establishments, Sanyo, is a relatively new business and may benefit from additional education around compliance. Officer Hankins reported that she has spoken with the manager on the subject. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the letters to Tio Juan Margaritas, 438 Bedford Street, and Sanyo, 21- 25 Depot Square, informing them of the actions to be taken in regards to the liquor license violation found as a result of the January 2, 2019 compliance check conducted by the Lexington Police Department. Lexington Historical Commission Grant Application for Research and Corrections to Cultural Resources Survey Marilyn Fenollosa; Sam Doran; and David Kelland (Chair), members of the Lexington Historical Commission, asked for approval to apply for a grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission. The grant will support research and correction of errors in the Cultural Resources Survey/Inventory. Ms. Fenollosa reported that a good number of Lexington’s historic buildings are “hidden in plain sight” and/or have been miscategorized due to lack of adequate documentation. Lexington is eligible to apply for the grant with favored status. The grant requires a 50% local funding match. Since Community Preservation funding is not allowed, Carol Kowalksi, Assistant Town Manager for Community Development, has begun to seek alternative sources. The application, due Monday, February 11, 2019, requires the signature of the Chair of the Board of Selectmen. Ms. Hai asked where the 50% funding match is likely to come from; she noted that the value of Town staff time can be included in Lexington’s portion of the funding. Mr. Pato supported the project, as well as the effort to secure alternative funding. He is comfortable with the request, as long as Selectmen approval at this time does not commit funding. Ms. Barry and Mr. Lucente supported the endeavor and felt confident alternative funding could be identified. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to authorize the Chair to sign the Lexington Historical Commission's grant application for research and correction of errors in the Lexington Cultural Resources Survey. 2019 Annual Town Meeting
