Pam Varrin seconded the motion. <br />minutes were accepted 3 – 0 . <br /> <br />3. Skate Park Committee Report <br />Bob McConnell reported to the Recreation Committee that the Skatepark Committee was <br />requesting an additional $60,000 for the Skatepark. The monies, if approved by Town <br />Meeting, will provide additional events at the site, landscaping, and fencing. The Skatepark <br />Committee hopes to get the fencing materials at cost and use volunteers for installation. The <br />events now being constructed by Tom Noble are very close to being finished. Although the <br />events could be installed at the site in early April, the committee is looking towards a May <br />th <br />10 grand opening event. <br /> <br />Sandra Shaw suggested to Mr. McConnell and the Recreation Committee that this year might <br />not be the best time for the Recreation Committee to request additional monies from the tax <br />levy. Don Chisholm said that although he is committed to improving playgrounds and <br />supports the skate park project it is politically wrong to support any such Recreation capital <br />project this year. He, Pam Varrin and Rick DeAngelis indicated that they might consider <br />supporting the private citizens Skate Park Warrant (Article 16)requesting $60,000 in Tax <br />Levy funds. <br /> <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />V:\Recreation Committee.REC\2003-03-11-REC-min.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
