<br />Public Comment
<br />Rick DeAngelis, Chair of the Recreation Committee, informed the Committee that there is a
<br />group of Lexington residents looking to put up a new scoreboard at the Center #1 baseball field.
<br />The current scoreboard was installed back in 1997 and was donated to the Town by the Lexington
<br />Lions Club. The scoreboard was the first of its kind at that time, but with it now being 25 years
<br />old, it is in need of replacement. Mr. DeAngelis stated that the new scoreboard would be state-of-
<br />the-art and would be of no cost to the Town. The residents that are collaborating on this initiative
<br />are Mr. DeAngelis, Tom Libretto, John Igoe, Eric Steinkrauss, and Jeff Heisner. Options to have
<br />solar power and remote access are being considered and the new, modern scoreboard will be a
<br />little bit larger than the current scoreboard. Mr. DeAngelis added that the intent is for the new
<br />scoreboard to be installed by the Lexington High School baseball season this spring and the
<br />formal proposal will be presented at the February Recreation Committee meeting. Suzie Barry,
<br />Select Board liaison, reminded the Committee that if approved by the Recreation Committee, the
<br />new scoreboard would also need to be presented to and voted on by the Select Board since it
<br />would be a gift to the Town.
