Town of Lexington Capital Expenditures Committee Meeting Notes October 23, 2002 Town Hall, Room 111 Committee members present: Bhatia, Burnell, Hornig, Rosenberg, Stolz Minutes of the October 8 meeting were approved, as corrected, and will be forwarded to Appropriation Committee liaisons. Bhatia will attend the Association of Town Finance Committees annual meeting in Worcester, November 16. Committee members devoted the meeting to establishing the schedule for briefings with each department to review capital plans; and, briefly, to discussion of ways to educate the community at large about Lexington’s capital assets and the costs and schedule for maintaining and updating them. Department briefings Burnell began by updating the committeee on the status of current school building programs and Paul McGonigle’s transition into his new job overseeing the system’s physical assets during the same period when he has to help prepare the five-year capital plan. The high school is nearly complete but there is an extensive punch-list of finishing items. The plans for Harrington have been prepared, reviewed by the School Committee, and are now being revised (on schedule). Given all that, McGonigle is just beginning to address the five-year plan, on which the committee will want to be briefed. (All meetings in Town Hall Room 111 unless otherwise noted) (Schools not yet scheduled, but Burnell querying about December 10 or 12; or following Town Manager on November 14 with Town Manager beginning earlier; or November 20, beginning early with Recreation following; subject to Paul McGonigle schedule with School Committee and Superintendent)
