<br /> April 26, 2006 <br /> <br />Minutes <br />Town of Lexington Appropriation Committee <br />April 26, 2006 <br /> <br />Members Present: A. Levine (Chair), D. Brown (Vice Chair), J. Bartenstein, R. Cole, R. <br />Eurich, P. Hamburger, P. Hoffman, D. Kanter, E. Michelson, R. Addelson (Assistant <br />Town Manager for Finance; non-voting) <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:40 by Al Levine in Town Office Bldg. Rm. 111. <br />PM <br /> <br />Rob Addelson informed the Committee that the Board of Selectmen and the Town <br />Manager want to proceed with the request for $50K for the Fire Station floor even though <br />full information about the project is not available. He also stated that of the $300K being <br />requested for sidewalks, $100K is for use in the Center and $200K for neighborhoods. <br /> <br />David Kanter will speak at Town Meeting on the sidewalk appropriation and will state <br />that the Committee still recommends a total of only $250K. Paul Hamburger will also <br />speak and will say that the use of brick, e.g., for the Center walk is too expensive. <br /> <br />The Committee voted 6-3 to recommend $0 for Art. 28c2 for the Fire Station floor. It <br />was our understanding that this supported the Capital Expenditures Committee position. <br /> <br />In regard to Article 35, Eric Michelson spoke in favor of using the Parking Fund to cover <br />expenses of expanding the municipal parking lot onto the Nstar property. Pro and con <br />discussion followed. The Committee voted 4-5 on a motion to recommend $125K under <br />this article. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 . <br />PM <br /> <br />Alan M.
