This is the first year request of an anticipated 3-year cycle that will build upon record acces- sibility through the electronic portal and will address smaller collections of items requiring less conserva- tion. It will also focus on technology upgrades to meet the increased demand for web access to documents and materials via the Lexington Heritage portal and Lexington's digital archives. This FY2014 request places emphasis on microfilming of bulky permanent records requiring permanent retention. Article 8(b) CPA Conservation Restriction Enforcement Funds $25,000 These funds will be used to se- cure the required conservation restrictions on the five parcels acquired with CPA funds pursuant to the Community Preservation Act (CPA). They will also be used to pay a non-profit organization to hold, monitor, and enforce the conservation restriction on each parcel, such funding allowed pursuant to Sec- tion 12 of the CPA statute. The five parcels to be restricted are: Goodwin properties, land off Cedar Street (9.5 acres); land off Hartwell Avenue (10.7 acres); Leary Land, 116 Vine Street (14 acres); Cotton Farm, 121 Marrett Road (4.2 acres); and Wright Farm, 241 Grove Street (12.6 acres). The Busa property is not in this list because the final designation of sections of the property to the CPA categories of open space and affordable housing is pending. 23
