Town of Lexington Trustees of Public Trusts Minutes of Meeting The meeting of the Trustees of Public Trusts was held at 12:00 noon on August 23, 1990 at 265 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Present were Trustees Alan S. Fields, Thomas G. Taylor and David G. Williams, and Sheryl Mason and Stephen Baran, Coordinator of Human Services of the Town of Lexington. The minutes of the meeting of May 24, 1990 were read and accepted. As Human Services Coordinator, Mr. Baran becomes aware of needs of individuals and programs for emergency funds and channels requests to the Trustees. In the past, the Trustees have responded to various requests for funds of this nature. The Trustees decided to establish a separate fund, to be called the Lexington Human Services Fund, as part of the Endowment Fund, and to transfer $5,000 to this fund from the income in the George Gilmore Fund. This Fund will be funded every year by transfers from other appropriate funds within the Endowment Fund. The Trustees delegated to Mr. Baran, as Human Services Coordinator, the authority to make contributions from this fund to individuals and programs of the Town which he determines to be in need of help. He is to consult with the Trustees from time to time as he deems necessary. The Lexington Human Services Fund will also act as a recipient for contributions to the Town for human service - type activities. The Trustees approved payments during June and July as follows: $ 192.00 - Town of Burlington from the Harriet Gilmore Fund for a Special Needs camper. $ 900.00 - Lexington Field and Garden Club from the George Smith Fund. $ 300.00 -- Lexington Field and Garden Club from the Emery Park Fund. $2,233.00 - Campership Coalition from Harrington Memorial Fund . A request from the Metco Scholarship Fund was considered and rejected on the basis that all of the funds designated for scholarships are now administered through the school department.
