Minutes <br />Dick Neumeier moved that the minutes of the Recreation Committee meetings on March 11 and <br />March 26, 2003 be accepted. Don Chisholm seconded the motion. <br />The minutes were adopted by a vote of 4 – 0. <br /> <br />2. Skate Park Update and Private Citizen Article <br />Sandra Shaw recognized Olga Guttag of the Skate Park Committee. Ms. Guttag reviewed with <br />the Recreation Committee the Private Citizen Article that will be discussed at Town Meeting. <br />She noted that the Skate Park Committee presentation would include a history of the project <br />including the funding sources thus far, and a request for an unspecified amount of money from <br />the Recreation Enterprise Fund. Don Chisholm asked if other communities with Skate Parks <br />have Enterprise Funds. Ms. Guttag responded that she did not know, but some communities <br />financed parks from the tax levy and others, such as Arlington, are using Community Betterment <br />Funds. <br /> <br />Sandra Shaw questioned the dollar figures the skate park committee is using as total monies <br />raised. She commented that these figures included in-kind donations and not actual dollars <br />raised for the project. Don Chisholm noted that the Skate Park Committee must sort out the total <br />cost of the project. <br /> <br />Ms. Guttag reviewed her ideas about fencing around the park. She told the Recreation <br />Committee that she got a quote from a fence company for $17,000. She believes that it is <br />possible to pick up the fencing materials wholesale and ask people to donate installation services. <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
