TOWN OF LEXINGTON <br />TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC TRUSTS <br />Minutes of Meeting <br />August 8, 2002 <br />A meeting of the Trustees was held at 8:00 P. M. at 42 Adams Street, Lexington. <br />Present were Alan Fields, David Williams and Thomas Taylor, and Secretary Karen <br />Jackman. <br />The minutes of the April 4, 2002 meeting were approved. <br />David reported on the response of John Ryan to our April 22 letter. Ryan <br />proposed going back five years and reconstructing accounting for income and perpetual <br />care funds. The Trustees position is that starting now the Town should turn over <br />perpetual care funds and we will make all income on the Westview and Munroe cemetery <br />funds available, as we have in the past. Any income accrued on these funds to date will be <br />added to principal. <br />The investment portfolio was reviewed. Alan pointed out that interest rates have <br />declined dramatically, and since we can only disburse income on most of our funds, <br />recipients will be receiving less from us in the future. I was agreed that Alan will write to <br />recipients and warn them of the possibility of lesser payouts in the future. <br />We discussed whether we should cut back on the equity portion of the portfolio in order <br />to increase income, but it was decided that would not make much difference. It was <br />voted, however, to set the ratio of equities to fixed income at 20 -40% equities, and <br />authorize Alan to make changes within that range at his discretion. <br />it was voted to give the Lexington Human Services Fund $4000 for the year, <br />$2000 now and $2000 in January, to come from the Geneva Brown Fund. <br />A request from Dan Fenn for $1000 for Lexfest was rejected. <br />David reported that the Trustees of the George O. Smith Scholarship Fund, a <br />private trust fund, want to turn the Fund over to the Trustees. They want a letter giving <br />our performance record for the last five years and a statement of our investment policies. <br />Alan will write the letter. <br />Tom Taylor, Secretary <br />
