<br />Minutes <br />Town of Lexington Capital Expenditures Committee <br />March 26, 2008 <br />Place and Time: Town Office Building, Room 111, 9:00 <br />AM <br /> <br />Members Present: Charles W. Lamb (Chair), Ted Edson (Vice-Chair), David G. Kanter, and <br />Shirley Stolz <br /> <br />Visitor: George Burnell (Lexington Selectman) <br /> <br />CWL called the meeting to order at 9:00 <br />AM <br /> <br />Central Business District (CBD) Sidewalks <br /> <br />Regarding the meeting that was held after the Phase 1 review walking tour: The construction <br />was not to any vibration standard, but to be hospitable to the disabled, the Disabilities <br />Commission wants a vibration standard to address maintenance issues later on. Design & <br />Engineering (D&E) on Phase 3 would be 10% of the project cost if done “out of house”, or <br />nothing if done “in house”. <br /> <br />SS: Is concerned about trees. <br /> <br />Sentiment: No D&E or any funding until the Board of Selectmen says concrete-only. <br />Reasoning: There’s a 44% premium for brick versus concrete. Extravagant expenditure is <br />crowding out other work. Town needs sidewalks in other parts of the town. We would be better <br />off working on other priorities of the Center Committee. <br /> <br />Motion: Not support Article 15(d) (CBD Sidewalks). (Passed 4:0 and this Committee will not <br />offer an amendment to Article 15(d).) <br /> <br />Parker Manor Condominium Purchases (Article 9(g)) <br /> <br />No change to our vote. <br /> <br />Motion: Oppose Dawn McKenna’s amendment. (Passed 4:0) <br /> <br />Reviewed the draft of our report to the 2008 Annual Town Meeting. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 . <br />AM <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Charles W. Lamb <br /> <br />Approved April 30, 2008 <br /> <br />
