The meeting minutes of January 19, 2000 were approved. <br /> <br />2. Town Meeting Articles <br />We are all set for the Capital Articles for Town Meeting. Karen needs to call Pam Varrin <br />regarding the Old Res article. This article requests funds to build a ramp from the gate entrance <br />and another from the bathhouse to the water. <br /> <br />At the January meeting the idea of taking money out of the Enterprise Fund for Sutherland <br />instead of the tax levy was discussed. Don Chisholm questioned whether the Recreation <br />Committee still wanted to fund Sutherland through the Enterprise Fund. Dick Neumeier said we <br />should look at the Selectmen’s recommendations and whether the Town can afford the $50,000 <br />amount at this time. Rick DeAngelis feels that we need a stronger commitment on this project <br />from the Board of Selectmen and that we cannot wait until 2003, which is what is currently <br />proposed. The consensus was not to offer Sutherland as an Enterprise project. <br /> <br />Karen met with the accountant and found that the auditors would like Recreation to have a <br />depreciation account. Karen is going to look into this. The estimated cost to hire a firm to do <br />this is $30,000. If we proceed, there would have to be a supplemental on a future budget. <br /> <br />3. Article #31 <br />In October borings were done at Clarke and on February 2nd we received the Geo-technical <br />Engineering Report on the Clarke Middle School Athletic Fields dated January 11, 2000. The <br />reports recommend that McPhail Associates, Inc. be hired to do the work. Brian Gilbert feels <br />that the scope of the work is larger than initially thought. Also, it could be a decent site for an <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
