1. Public Comment — None
2. New Member Introductions
Members welcomed new members Renen Bassik and Weiwei Li to the Committee. Lisah
Rhodes resigned effective July 1, 2022 to become a member of the Capital Expenditures
Committee (CEC). Mr. Bassik expressed his appreciation for this opportunity and is looking
forward to the experience. Melissa Battite, Director of Recreation and Community Programs,
indicated that the onboarding process for Mr. Bassik and Mr. Li will take place over the next 1-2
months.
3. Meeting Minutes
The Committee decided to defer the vote on the June 13, 2022 meeting minutes to the August
meeting.
Committee Vacancies and Liaison/Working Group Memberships
With Lisah Rhodes stepping down from the Committee, a listing of the current vacancies and the
positions that members had expressed an interest in is attached to the meeting minutes. The three
vacancies that are most time -sensitive are Co -Chair of the Committee, liaison to the Community
Preservation Committee (CPC), and a member of the Lexington High School/Center Recreation
Complex working group. Other vacancies include the Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC),
Financial Working Group, Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) update, and Recreation
Committee email correspondence.
Rick DeAngelis, Chairman of the Recreation Committee, stated that the CPC is very important
and it would be beneficial to have a Town Meeting Member on the CPC since it serves an
important function for Recreation. Christian Boutwell acknowledged that he wants to fight his
natural instinct to do everything. He does not want to overpromise and underdeliver. Mr.
Boutwell said he could defer to Lisa O'Brien on this and Claire Sheth added the Ms. O'Brien has
advocated for Recreation previously by presenting proposed capital projects at Town Meeting
over the past few years. Ms. Sheth also emphasized how diligent Mr. Boutwell was in answering
questions and giving thoughtful responses to challenges that arose during Annual Town Meeting
in the spring. After a brief conversation, Rick DeAngelis moved to appoint Christian Boutwell as
the Vice Chair of the Recreation Committee. Claire Sheth seconded the motion. The Recreation
Committee voted 5-0 to approve this motion
The Lexington High School/Center Recreation Complex working group consists of the Town
Manager, Superintendent of Schools, two Select Board members, two Recreation Committee
members, one School Committee members, the Town's Finance Director, and members of the
various financial committees. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26t' at 3:00pm.
Rick DeAngelis moved to appoint Claire Sheth to serve on the Lexington High School/Center
Recreation Complex Working Group. Christian Boutwell seconded the motion. The Recreation
Committee voted 5-0 to approve this motion.
The CPC has four buckets that funding can be categorized as: historic, housing, recreation and
open space, and administration. Christian Boutwell withdrew himself from consideration and
supported Lisa O'Brien being named the liaison to the Community Preservation Committee. Rick
DeAngelis moved to appoint Lisa O'Brien as the Recreation Committee's representative on the
Community Preservation Committee (CPC). Claire Sheth seconded the motion. The Recreation
Committee voted 5-0 to approve this motion.
The liaison to the Bicycle Advisory Committee has been vacant since prior to COVID. Renen
Bassik is interested in finding out more information about this committee. For the Lincoln Park
Sub -Committee (LPSC), Rick DeAngelis stated how important this sub -committee is. The sub-
committee had strong personalities when it was formed and the members view themselves as
stewards of the park. Lincoln Park is part of the lifeblood of the Town's recreation infrastructure
and the LPSC focuses on the passive areas at the park. The OSRP is updated every 7 years in
cooperation with the Conservation Department and a benefit of the plan is that it makes the Town
eligible for state funding, so it is a great tool to have. The current OSRP update is ongoing and
Lisa O'Brien has been involved in the process to date. It was determined that this would be a
good transition item. For the Recreation Committee email correspondence, Christian Boutwell
moved that Claire Sheth (in addition to Lisa O'Brien) would be responsible for checking the
Recreation Committee email. Renen Bassik seconded the motion. The Recreation Committee
voted 5-0 to approve this motion.
5. Recognize Lisah Rhodes
The thank you to Lisah Rhodes from Jim Malloy, Town Manager, and Jill Hai, Select Board
Chair, is attached to the meeting minutes. The formal recognition for Lisah Rhodes was deferred
to the August meeting.
6. Athletic Lighting — Fall 2022 extended hours request
A copy of the request to extend the hours for athletic lighting during fall is attached to the
meeting minutes. Peter Coleman, Assistant Director of Recreation, and Melissa Battite reviewed
the request with the Committee. After the Fall 2021 season, concerns about the impacts that the
Lexington Public Schools Athletics (LPS) scheduling was having on other community
organizations were shared and as a result, a working group was established to creatively
collaborate on ways to minimize the loss of community access to the playing fields in future
seasons. The working group has met three times over the past year and one improvement that
was implemented for the Spring 2022 season was a 15 -minute buffer time was added to all field
39 MARRETT ROAD, LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02421
permits. As daylight decreases throughout the fall season, it will be difficult to continue with this
approach. hl its place, the request presented to the Committee was to extend the current access to
athletic field lights for up to one additional hour during the Fall 2022 season (August 22' -
November 27t'') on an as -needed basis. If approved, this would result in the lights remaining on
during weeknights until 9:30pm at Lincoln 42 and until 11:30pm at the Center Recreation
Complex.
After the request was reviewed, Committee members had the opportunity to ask questions and
make comments. Christian Boutwell indicated that he would be more comfortable with a
specified number rather than on an as -needed basis since that would give more definition on to
the impact it would have on the abutters. He was also concerned about the proposed 11:30pm
end time at the Center Recreation Complex as that seemed rather late. Tim Clackson, resident of
14 Winthrop Road and representative from the Lexington United Soccer Club (LUSC), stated that
LUSC's primary focus was on extending the light time at Lincoln 42 and not at the Center Track
Field. Instead of 9:30pm, Mr. Clackson indicated that a 9:OOpm end time at Lincoln 42 could
work from LUSC's perspective and would be beneficial for the organization. Melissa Battite
reiterated that the athletic light extension at Lincoln and the Center Recreation Complex would
provide some flexibility across the entire park system. Claire Sheth shared her concerns about the
noise and activity levels at Lincoln. Rick DeAngelis added that having the lights on late every
weeknight from August 22 d -November 27t'' could be problematic.
While the 15 -minute buffer proved to be beneficial during the spring, Ms. Battite reminded the
Committee that the Lexington -based sports organizations have thousands of participants and they
need to have set schedules in place with plenty of advanced notice. Ms. Sheth explained that
LUSC has done a lot on their end to be creative when it comes to finding field solutions. Mr.
Clackson stated that being able to use Lincoln 42 on weeknights until 9:00pm from September
6t'' -November l I' would be extremely beneficial. Mr. Boutwell noted that it will be important to
spell out the origin of the problem to the abutters and describe the trickle-down effect. Ms.
Battite said this could be a pilot program like the department has done with other recent
initiatives.
At the end of the conversation, Christian Boutwell made the following motion: "The Recreation
Committee moves to approve that the field lights at Lincoln #2 remain on until 9:OOpm and the
parking lot lights remain on until 9:1 Spm, Monday through Friday, September through Veterans
Day (November 11, 2022) in response to time overruns caused by Lexington High School
Athletics. All field use will be permitted following the Department's Athletics Field and Court
Use Policy." Claire Sheth seconded the motion. The Recreation Committee voted 5-0 to
approve this motion.
7. Recreation Committee Email Correspondence
No updates were given. Christian Boutwell asked if a PDF of incoming emails could be
distributed to the Committee in the monthly information packets? This will be discussed further
at the August meeting.
8. Recreation & Community Programs Report
The July Recreation & Community Programs Report is attached to the meeting minutes. Melissa
Battite also informed the Committee that Karen Norton, part-time municipal clerk at the
Community Center, passed away on July 12t''. She was 49 years old.
9. Liaison Report — None

Re: Recreation Committee Resignation
Lisah Rhodes
Dear Jim,
Kindly accept my resignation from the Recreation Committee effective June 30, 2022. 1 will be
transitioning to the Capital Expenditures Committee on July 1, 2022.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of the Recreation
Committee and Recreation Department. It has been an honor and my pleasure to serve on the
committee for over 12 years. In that time, I have seen tremendous growth in programming and
facility development. Melissa Battite and her predecessor Karen Simmons embrace every
community member and have worked tirelessly to meet the recreational needs of all, often
under difficult circumstances. During my tenure, the Community Center became a reality that I
did not foresee when I joined the committee, and the current programming has exceeded the
imagination of the task force on which I was privileged to participate. Our recreational
programming and excellent facilities appeal to and attract users of all age groups.
Over the years, I have received excellent support from Melissa, Peter Coleman, Christine Dean,
Rick DeAngelis and Suzie Barry, who have all contributed positively to my professional growth
as a Town committee member. I look forward to continuing my work to support the Town.
Sincerely yours
Lisah S. Rhodes RECEIVED

Subject: Request for Extended Hours of Athletic Lighting
In response hnthe Fall 2821 season, a letter was submitted to the Recreation
Committee during the September 29, 2021 meeting from the Lexington United Soccer Club
(LUSQ. LUSC shared concerns regarding changes made within the Lexington Public Schools
Athletics (LPS) scheduling and the impacts on community organizations. Aworking group was
established to creatively collaborate on ways to minimize the impact of the loss of community
access to the playing fields. The working group includes Christian Boutwell (Recreation
Committee), Melissa Battite (Director), Peter Coleman (Asst. Director), and Hayato Tsurumaki
(Recreation Supervisor) from the Lexington Recreation and Community Programs Department,
Naomi Martin /LPSAthletics Dinector\,Tim [|ackson /LUSC\, Bobby Lyng from Lexington Youth
Lacrosse (LYL),and VivekGupta from United Cricket League /UCL\. The group has met three
times to address the impacts of the permit times, arrival/departure times and anticipated
delays caused by traffic, injuries, overtime, officiating and weather events during LPS athletic
events.
In an effort to provide organizations with adequate time for league play and practices on
days of LPS home games, a 15 -minute buffer time has been added to all permits and was
implemented for the Spring 2022 season with noticeable improvements for all. Continuing with
this approach for the Fall 2022 season will become more difficult with limited daylight coupled
with access tnthe limited fields with athletic lighting. In continued efforts to minimize
