Administrative Assistant : Nathalie Rice Also in attendance was David Kanter of the Capital Expenditures Committee (CEC) and Mary Haskell. The meeting was called to order at 3:05 pm. The purpose of the Meeting was to discuss various FY 2012 projects and to discuss the Busa Farm project, approved in FY 2011. 1.Minutes – The minutes from the meeting of December 21, 2010 were not ready for approval. 2.Discussion of Projects – There was discussion of three projects that are pending before the CPC. a.) LexHAB Request for Set-aside Funds – The CPC reviewed and edited a set of draft Guidelines developed for this project. Members voted unanimously to strike #6 from the draft Guidelines, and Ms. Fenollosa introduced a new guideline that stated, “These LexHAB funds will not be expended for the demolition of any house listed or pending to be listed on the Cultural Resources Inventory”. This additional guideline was approved (5-4). While some members still felt there were issues of equity associated with the project, Ms. Weiss pointed out that only LexHAB can increase the Town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory, which she felt made the project particularly worthwhile. b.) Battle Green Master Plan Implementation – It was noted that no further cost information had been received from the applicant on this project. Mr. Kanter commented that the CEC had voted in support of the two Battle Green projects. Ms. Manz added that the CPC would consider the application for $50,000 as a placeholder until further cost information was received by the Committee. 1
