Baker).

Specific Articles were discussed, as follows. • ATM Article 10: FY23 CPC Budget/Projects: (e) Center Playground Bathrooms and Maintenance Building Renovation: The amount being requested has been reduced from $915,000 to $680,000 because the building will be renovated rather than rebuilt. Although including a storage area had been considered, it was determined that storage capacity might be included in the Lexington High-School project that is now moving forward. It was noted that the Select Board (SB) voted 3-2 to recommend approval of this Article; the two negative votes were submitted by members who are concerned that the footprint of a new high school could impact this facility.
