The agenda of the meeting was to review and vote on FY2009 CPC Proposals. The meeting began at 4:00 p.m. with a brief review of the CPC’s submission for the 2007 Annual Town Report. A photo of the CPC Committee was taken for the Annual Town Report and general discussion was as follows: 1. Survey and Define Affordable Housing Assistance Programs : The Committee voted unanimously to support Lexington Housing Partnership and LexHAB’s joint request for $25,000. 2. Belfry Hill Tree Restoration : The Committee voted unanimously to support the Tree Committee’s request for $9,850. The Committee also confirmed that this request qualifies under the category of Historic Preservation. 3. Hancock-Clarke House Restoration : The Committee voted unanimously to support the Historical Society’s request for $600,000. 4. Old Reservoir Management : The Committee voted unanimously to support the Recreation Department’s request for $55,000. 5. Vynebrook Village Windows : The Committee voted unanimously to support the Housing Authority’s request for $158,686. 6. Archive Record Management & Conservation : The Committee voted unanimously to support the Town Clerk’s request for $150,000. 7. Parker Manor Condo Purchases : Upon learning Town Counsel’s opinion, which is that this project qualifies for CPA funding, the Committee voted 8 in favor and 1 (Pagett) abstention to support LexHAB’s request for $652,800. If the units qualify for inclusion in the Subsidized Housing Inventory and therefore count toward the Town’s 40B requirement, the project would have unanimous Committee support. The Committee will have a wind-up vote after this determination is made. 8. Senior Center Design, Renovation & Expansion : The Committee voted 8-1 (Wolk) in favor of having a PLACEHOLDER for this project. It was agreed to remove the dollar amount from this request, as the actual cost for this project is unknown at this time. 9. Identify Potential Building Lots for Affordable Housing : The Committee voted 1 (Weiss) to support and 8 against supporting the Housing Partnership’s request for $25,000. 10. Harrington Pre-School Playground : The Committee voted unanimously to support the School Department’s request for $75,000. J. Pearson 2008-01-07-CPC-min 1
