Public Comments Lexington Lion's Club Vice President Jim Cataldo asked the Board's permission to turn on the Worthen Road Ballfield lights from 10:50 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. during the evenings of the Carnival. They have done this in the past and will assume any additional costs involved. Mr. Enrich acknowledged that the lights do shine quite dramatically in the neighborhood; however, the Board members also see the safety benefit the lights provide for people exiting the carnival each evening. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant permission to have the Worthen Road Ballfield lights turned on from 10:50 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. during the evenings of the Lion's Club Carnival. Janet Moran of Precinct 1 spoke of the neighborhood's concerns about the Design Advisory Committee having a meeting with Lexington Christian Academy and not notifying the neighborhood. Mr. Enrich explained that the Design Advisory Committee is advisory and it is the Board of Appeals that is a regulatory committee. He further explained that the law requires that the Board of Appeals advertise its hearings and notify abutters. Mr. Enrich also indicated he would check with the DAC and see whether there are ways to improve communication with Precinct 1. Consent Agenda Local Official Bonds Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to set the Local Official Bond for the Tax Collector at $180,000 and for the Treasurer at $190,000.
