amounted to some $217,287, and he noted that it had not yet been decided how to return this money to the CPC. He urged the Committee to follow up on this matter with Mr. Addelson or with Town Manager Carl Valente. 4.Deadlines for Municipal and Land Acquisition Projects – Ms. Manz opened the discussion on this topic, noting that the Needs Assessment Report had a section on Procedures which she suggested might be used as a starting point. Members commented that the process of reviewing the Town Office Building project had raised many questions about the timing of initial project review, but most importantly the timing associated with reviewing additional information requested by the Committee. Members felt there needed to be a set of deadlines for the receipt of addenda, particularly for projects in varying stages of design. Mr. Kanter stated that the CEC expects to receive their th initial packet about October 15 and that the Town Manager is expected to th submit the proposed budget to the Board of Selectmen about January 15. Ms. Manz suggested having a representative from the Town Manager’s Office come to the next CPC meeting to outline the time frame for the review of municipal projects, particularly those that might come in at less than a 100% design stage. The issue of deadlines for land acquisition projects was also discussed, and Ms. Manz asked Mr. Wolk to outline the general guidelines as he saw them. He felt this was particularly difficult, but said that the Conservation st Commission should let the CPC know by November 1 if there are any land acquisitions being considered by the Commission. He said he felt there had to be time to get a second appraisal, and questioned whether the Conservation Commission should just plan on having two appraisals for each future acquisition. Mr. Wolk said he would discuss these issues with the Conservation Commission and report back to the CPC at its next meeting. 5.Signs for the Leary Land – Ms. Rice explained that the Conservation Commission would be erecting a standard conservation sign for the Leary conservation land, purchased with CPA funds. She showed the Committee three options for lettering for the sign, and the Committee agreed that, “Funded by the Citizens of Lexington through the Community Preservation Act” would be most appropriate. Two alternate sets of wording were approved should the initial statement prove too long for the space available. 6.Signs for CPA Projects in Progress – Ms. Shaw expressed her intent to re- energize the Committee’s interest in having CPA signs at on-going CPA- funded projects. She showed the Committee the format for a sign (used by the Town of Concord) and said she would look into the costs of fabricating such a sign for Lexington. Ms. Fenollosa suggested talking to Dawn McKenna, Chair of the Tourism Committee, since she had been responsible for procuring the historic site signs in the Town Center. 3
