Sandra Shaw seconded the motion. <br /> <br />3. Skate Park Committee Update <br />There were no members of the Skate Park Committee present. Sandra Shaw asked about <br />the status of the perimeter fence. Karen Simmons reported to the Recreation Committee <br />about the ongoing fence issue. The Recreation Committee had voted in August for a new <br />six-foot fence on three sides of the park and a new four-foot fence along Worthen Road. <br />Since that vote the contract has been awarded to George Spartichino. In late August <br />changes were made to the original specifications as a result of a compromise between the <br />Skate Park Committee and the Town officials. Karen Simmons expressed concern that <br />some members of the community failed to look at the big picture regarding the fencing <br />height and location. The fencing will now consist of two four-foot sections and two six- <br />foot sections. The fencing materials have been ordered and it is expected that the fencing <br />will be installed at the beginning of November. <br />The wording for the signs at the Skate Park has been passed to Town Counsel for a legal <br />opinion and recommendation. The Skate Park Committee does not want the signs to say <br />that “helmets are required”, but rather that they are recommended. A new issue at the <br />park is the use of bicycles inside the park and on the ramps. The Department has <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
