<br /> April 25, 2005 <br />Minutes <br />Town of Lexington Appropriation Committee <br />Monday, April 25, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Location: Selectmen’s Meeting Room and adjacent hallway, Town Office Building <br /> <br />Members present: John Bartenstein, Deborah Brown, Rod Cole, Richard Eurich, David <br />Kanter, Alan Levine (chair), Ron Pawliczek <br /> <br />This meeting was held in conjunction with a meeting of the Board of Selectmen. Only <br />limited discussions of the Committee took place and those were in response to issues <br />which arose during the meeting. <br /> <br />The Board of Selectmen discussed appropriations to cover anticipated overruns in a <br />number of departments. P. Kelley suggested that additional funds be appropriated to the <br />Reserve Fund, rather than to the individual departments, in order to preserve flexibility. <br />The Board asked whether the A.C. would support this, and after a short discussion, the <br />A.C. convened in the hall. Even though it was pointed out that it is debatable whether <br />some of the overruns are “extraordinary and unforeseen”, the A.C voted (7-0) to support <br />the appropriation of an additional $150K to the Reserve Fund. <br /> <br />There was limited discussion of whether the Committee would support reconsideration of <br />the Article approving the Community Preservation Act. <br /> <br />The Committee rejoined the BoS meeting and reported that we would support the <br />addition to the Reserve Fund. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> Alan Levine, acting Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />Approved June 22, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />
