Town of Lexington Recreation Committee Frederick DeAngelis, Chairman Tel: (781) 862-0500 x262 Richard Thuma, Vice Chairman Fax: (781) 861-2747 Robert Boudreau Wendy Rudner Sandra Shaw RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING March 29, 2007 Town Office Building Room 111 Members Present: Rick DeAngelis, Dick Thuma, Sandra Shaw, Bob Boudreau, and Wendy Rudner Staff Present: Karen Simmons, Peter Coleman and Sheila Butts AGENDA: 1. Citizens and other boards There were no citizens or other board members present. 2. Meeting Minutes Dick Thuma moved and Bob Boudreau seconded acceptance of the February 22, 2007 meeting minutes. The minutes were approved by a vote of 5 – 0. 3. Town Meeting Dick Thuma reviewed his draft presentation of Article 29 (Capital) with the Recreation Committee. Karen Simmons informed the Committee that the Board of Selectmen, Capital Expenditures Committee and Appropriations Committee support the three Recreation Capital requests (Center Basketball Court reconstruction, Valley Tennis Court reconstruction and Bowman field renovation). The Recreation Committee had a brief discussion about how to address the funding sources for each project. Both the Center Basketball Courts and Bowman Field projects request funding from the tax levy while the Finance Department recommends that the money needed to reconstruct the Valley Tennis Courts be borrowed, with repayment to come from the Recreation Enterprise Fund. Bob Boudreau and Rick DeAngelis suggested that the funding recommendation be bulleted at the end of each portion of the power point presentation. Sandra Shaw expressed her preference that the funding sources be explained to Town Meeting first, before giving the details of each project. Bob Boudreau suggested that Dick Thuma not say “recommended funding source”, but rather “to be funded by”. Dick Thuma said that he would alter his presentation to include that phrase. 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420
