Karen Simmons wanted the Recreation Committee to understand that Lynne <br />Wilson, Vice Chair of the LPSC, was involved from the outset. Some of the modifications made <br />resulted from discussions with and suggestions from the LPSC. Further discussion followed on <br />this subject and the minutes were amended to reflect the discussion. <br />Dick Thuma then requested that the Committee change the words “Tennis Bang Board” to “Back <br />Board” or “Practice Board”. The Committee expressed general satisfaction with this. <br />The January 2004 Recreation Committee minutes, as amended, were approved 4 – 0. (Attached) <br /> <br />3.

Sheila Butts told the Committee that <br />this afternoon she noticed that the ramp closest to the softball field had graffiti on it. She has <br />contacted DPW asking that the gates be relocked and the graffiti removed. <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
