LexSeeHer— Progress Report-Budget Review Doug Lucente (Select Board Liaison) reported on an informal meeting with Select Board Chair Jill Hai and LexSeeHer Steering Committee members Jessie Steigerwald and Martha Wood. With $250,000 raised in a private fundraising campaign, LexSeeHer has demonstrated its fundraising ability. Given this track record, Doug sees a high probability that LexSeeHer will raise the remainder of the projected project cost over the next 12-15 months, should the project be approved. To protect the Town's interest, if sufficient funds have not been raised when LexSeeHer is ready to apply for a building permit, the Town will not issue a building permit. Doug suggested that, on these terms and for this project only, the Committee consider accepting a 90% fundraising achievement as meeting the project cost threshold.
