Brian can update the playground information. Karen and Pam can work with Brian on this. There is no assessment on the Pool, Center Playground, bike path and fitness path. PINE MEADOWS: Karen requested that town employees (non school department) pay the resident rate at the Golf Course (not including leagues). After a brief discussion, the committee voted to approve this request. Karen will develop an Employee Golf ID card. Tee time reservation cards: Lexington residents can buy a Golf ID card at $10.00. This will allow residents to get a two week in advance reserved tee time. Karen will speak to Bill Harrison about enforcing this policy which was established last year. Jim Nicoloro representing the Senior Citizens Club asked Karen to waive the fees for a golf tournament. The tournament is to raise money for senior recreation programs. After a brief discussion, the committee voted to deny this request. All organization will pay the fee. The 5th green needs some seed. It was suggested to make a temporary green until the seed takes. It will be around the corner and you can't see the green from the tee. A temporary drawing should be made to make the hole user friendly.
