on behalf of the Lexington Housing Authority to replace the roofs on buildings 1-26 at Greeley Village (100 units) . It was generally felt that this $320,828 project was important, but there was some discussion as to whether the roofs needed repair or replacement. This would be an important distinction for CPC approval. (b) Monroe Tavern Capital Needs Assessment, $50,000 Request. The Committee discussed the need for capital improvements to the Monroe Tavern, and noted that there will, in all likelihood, be a major request next fiscal year to fund the recommendations outlined in the Needs Assessment Report. (c) LexHAB Request - Purchase of Three Properties. The Committee discussed the request on behalf of LexHAB for $797, 500 for the purchase of three properties. It was generally felt that this was an important project, and it prompted a discussion about how to insure that the units which are purchased with CPC funds will qualify to be on Lexington’s Subsidized Housing Inventory and whether permanent deed restrictions have been filed for previous such purchases. 4.HB4820 – Amendment before the State Legislature Betsey updated the Committee on a bill pending in the State Legislature, HB4820, which would expand the participation in the Community Preservation program in the State. She said it was important that Lexington write its State legislators, and that the Committee should put a resolution before voters at the Annual Town Meeting. Wendy agreed to draft the letter to the legislators. It was also noted that the CPC needs more community outreach, particularly articles in the paper that discuss the role of the CPC and their approved projects to date. 5.Meeting with Town Counsel There was a general discussion of the questions to be asked of Town th Counsel, Kevin Batt, who will be attending the November 13 meeting at 4:00 pm.
