Ms. Fenollosa called the meeting to order at 4:OOPM. FY21 CPA Funding Request Recreation-Athletic Lighting Ms. Battite requested $450,000 in supplemental CPA funds to complete the Athletic Facility Lighting project at the Center Recreation Complex. The request is to complete the lighting improvement at the Gallagher Tennis Courts, Center basketball courts, and Town Pool Complex. In 2018 Annual Town Meeting (ATM) approved $975,000 under Article 10 (g) for upgrades to various sites at the Center Recreation Complex. The lighting upgrades were not completed at the sites because the bid came in over-budget. Mr. Hornig asked if the FY21 request was sufficient to complete the project. Ms. Battite explained that Recreation has a detailed cost sheet and that they are confident that the request will be appropriate to complete the project. Ms. Fenollosa asked about the color of the LED lighting. Ms. Battite explained that the LED lighting used will be the same as the lighting at the Center baseball field. The Committee voted in a straw poll to support the project (7-0). FY21 CPA Funding Request Recreation- Park & Playground Improvements- Sutherland Park- Ms. Battite requested $95,000 in CPA funds to update and replace the playground equipment and install a bike rack at the Sutherland Park. The surface tiles at the entrance of the playground will be reset, an accessible route to the dugouts at the baseball field will be created, and an accessible path will be extended from the existing asphalt path to the water fountain near the entrance of the park. 1
