amount, than to have Mr. Goddard and the Lexington Children’s Place come back for <br />additional funds at Spring Town Meeting. <br /> <br />The Committee voted 6 to 1 to approve the proposal for the Harrington Playground. Dick <br />Wolk voted in opposition. <br /> <br />3. Fall Town Meeting Policy <br /> <br />Betsey Weiss opened this discussion and expressed her frustration with the inadequacy of <br />information in the projects submitted this fall. She said it had been very difficult to <br />evaluate the two projects for Town Meeting, when cost requests kept changing. This, in <br />addition to reviewing the 15 projects for Spring Town Meeting, made the work of the <br />Chair and Vice Chair very difficult. She suggested that if the Committee felt there were <br />worthy projects for Fall Town Meetings, that there be a Fall Town Meeting Chair. <br />Alternatively, she suggested that the Committee member with an interest in a particular <br />project take on the Chairmanship for the Fall Town Meeting. Without such assistance, <br />she felt the Committee should deny funding requests for any Fall or Special Town <br />Meetings. There was a general discussion of this idea, but no decisions were made on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />4. Needs Assessment Report <br /> <br />The Chairwoman asked if there were any comments on the Needs Assessment Report. <br />Sandy Shaw said she had made one small change, but otherwise had no comments. The <br />Committee voted unanimously to accept the report. <br /> <br />5. Beacon Hill Resolution HB4820 <br /> <br />Betsey Weiss asked for volunteers to draft letters to state representatives regarding HB <br />4820, a resolution which would help insure the future of CPC state matching funds. <br />Wendy Manz agreed to write these letters. The Committee noted that the resolution will <br />also have to be included in the Warrant for Spring Town Meeting, which Jeanne Krieger <br />agreed to research. <br /> <br />6. Approval of Minutes <br /> <br />ththth <br />Minutes from the meetings of June 5, June 9 and October 16 were approved as <br />written. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 5:25 pm. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Nathalie Rice <br />Administrative Assistant <br />Community Preservation Community <br />
