Lexington Library: Wants to take a holistic approach to re-vamping the E. Lex. Library. Capital requests in town package are from the BFAC study. But they'd rather have someone come in and study the whole building. Will look for $15K in CPA money to hire a consultant to look at ADA, structure, air quality. By Cary's will, the building can only be used for 7 or 8 purposes, and if not used for that purpose, it reverts back to the heirs. They are currently looking at mold issue. Not sure it's there, but employees are complaining. May need a placeholder for mold mitigation in FY08 depending on what has found. Karen Simmons (Recreation) Center Basketball Court, $85K. Drainage problems and cracks. Last resurfaced in 1987. Requesting $'s for reconstruction, replacing backboards, rims, and benches. They have a very good estimate from recent reconstructions. Tax Levy. Valley Tennis Courts: $130K. Replace courts and fencing. Last done 1981. Recreation Enterprise Fund. SS asks if they'll do anything about the acorns [yes]. Boman Fields: $50K. Want to rebuild ("top-dress") the baseball field, backstop, and open turf. They expect a lifetime of 10 years or more for the field work, and 20 years for the backstop. They've done top-dressing on other fields and like the results. They believe that it will last if it maintained properly. Much discussion about School Admin's plans to possibly put a new school on the Boman fields. Sentiment is that a new school at Boman is at least 5 years away so it is better to fix the fields in the meantime than to not. Status of previous projects: Center Playground inspection is today so should open later this week. Golf course, core aerator has been ordered and should be in soon. Center Pool Complex study bid docs are being put together. The study needs to be done while the pool is open so will not be until the summer. Hydrology study at the golf course. Study needs to span three seasons so they should have the results within a year. The contract has been awarded. Ringe playground. The swings went up but there was a recall and they have had trouble getting the right retrofit for the swings. May refer it to town counsel in a few weeks. Tennis Bang Board: the new unit is sitting at 201 Bedford St. They'll do the demo in a week or two and are hoping for a December installation. Discussion of DPW facility. TE: believes that $2.0 M is too high for Construction Drawings. Some of that may be project management. Believes that $1.2M is closer to the truth, but will defer to the PBC. Adjourn 9:19am
