MINUTES OF THE COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
APRIL 11, 2022
REMOTE ZOOM MEETING
MEETING ID: 844 6055 4609
Committee Members Present by Roll Call: Marilyn Fenollosa (Chair), Charles Hornig (Vice-
Chair), David Horton, Jeanne Krieger, Joe Pato, Robert Pressman, Lisah Rhodes (arrived at 5:05
pm), and Melinda Walker
Committee Member(s) absent: None
Other Attendees: David Kanter (Capital Expenditures Committee liaison)
1. Call to order: Ms. Fenollosa called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm, followed by reading
the guidelines for a public meeting and for a meeting via Zoom.
2. Vote to Reconsider Article 10(e) (Center Playground Bathrooms and Maintenance
Building Renovation) and (f) (Playground Improvements – Hard Court Surfaces):
Ms. Fenollosa read an email written by Town Meeting member Ruth Thomas outlining
her intention and reasons to move reconsideration of Article 10(e). We were also told
there was a possibility that Taylor Singh planned to move reconsideration of Article
10(f). The committee then discussed possible responses to these prospects.
Lisah Rhodes described efforts made by the Recreation Committee to reach the resident
of Parker Street who was voicing concern about the noise generated by pickleball games
on the tennis courts and to hold community meetings. She also stated that the warrant
article does not include the lining of the courts, just the resurfacing.
Since we anticipated that information from a meeting scheduled for tonigh t regarding
the LHS Feasibility Study might be relevant to our discussion or any action taken on our
part regarding the aforementioned motion and we did not really know whether or not
motions to reconsider would be put forward, we did not take the vote as described
above in the agenda and minutes. Instead, we agreed to meet this coming Wednesday,
April 13th, 5:00 pm, via Zoom, and invite Ruth Thomas to meet with us to explain her
position on Article10(e). After listening to her, we could decide whether or not to take a
position for or against reconsideration, to vote to reaffirm our project
recommendations, or decide to wait until after we hear the Town Meeting debate. If
that is the case, we would need to be prepared to caucus at Town Meeting.
Neither was a motion put forth nor a vote taken to reconsider Article 10(e) and/or 10(f).
