of December 18.The Recreation Committee voted 4-0to approve the December 18

3.Liaison Reports
The January Liaison Reports are attached to the meeting minutes.Lisah Rhodes reported that all
Recreation articles except for the Athletic Fields Feasibility Study were preliminarily approved
by the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) and the next CPC meeting is scheduled for
th
Thursday, January 16. Lisa O’Brien indicated that the installation of the Granite Forest at
Lincoln Park has been completed.Eileen Jay, School Committee liaison, had some questions for
the Committee regarding the Center Track and Field renovation project. Ms.Jay shared that in
recent weeks, the Town Manager and Town Counsel had determined that the WorthenRoad
practice field was not within the original scope of the project. As a result, the proposed
improvements will not be completed as part of this project, which was disappointing to members
of the School Committee as they believed that the Recreation Committee had made a
commitment to include the practice field in the project. Lisah Rhodes stated that while the
Recreation Committee advocated for the improvements to the practice field, once BondCounsel
said that they could not be done legally, the decision had been made at that point. Ms. Jay asked
how much the improvements would cost.Melissa Battite, Director of Recreation and Community
Programs indicated the quote that she had received was for $69,000, $44,000 of which was for
2
the hammer throwing cage. Suzie Barry, Select Board liaison, reminded Ms. Jay that the hammer
is not a MIAA-sanctioned event and there are very fewstudent-athletes participating in the sport.
There are approximately three weeks of work remaining to install the track surfacingand the goal
is to open the facility in mid-May. Ms. Battite met with Naomi Martin, Lexington High School
Athletic Director, in October 2019 to review this scenario and to give Ms. Martin ample time to
plan for the spring season. Ms. Martin has communicated to coaches about the timeframe and the
practice and meet schedules have been adjusted accordingly. Ms. Martin indicated that the spring
schedule would be announced at the annual February Spring Season meeting.
4.Lexington Little League
Carl Fantasia, Vice President of Lexington Little League, came before the Committeeto express
his interest to set something in motion to invest in the fields (capital improvements and
maintenance) and establish a stronger working partnership between Little Leagueand the Town.
Little League’s desire is to repurpose the fields to fit the age of the users and addresssafety issues
and how to best support DPW in these efforts. MelissaBattite inquired about the safety issues
and expressed her concerns about any potential or suggestedsafety issues. She reminded
everyone of the upcoming Athletic Fields Feasibility Study in FY2021 and some of the
suggestions by LLL may be included in this work.
The main safety issues are bees in fencing, the dugout areas, and the hardness of the infield clay
at various fields. Mr. Fantasia indicated that coaches in other towns rake the fields and clean the
dugouts before leaving the field and he would like for a similar practice to be introduced for the
upcoming season. Chris Filadoro, DPW Superintendent of Public Grounds, stated that having a
training session/demonstration for the coaches would be a practical first step and he believes this
would go a long way. Mr. Fantasia also expressed his interest in learning more about how the
permitting process works, which is something that staff can discuss with him.
Rick DeAngelis, Chairman of the Recreation Committee, expressed his interest in starting a
working group that would allow for Chris’s staff to handle the day-to-day operations while also
creating a public-private partnership between the two organizations. Mr. Filadoro indicated that
if a working group was to be formed, it would need to happen quickly since there is a process to
capital projects and the spring season is fastapproaching. Mr. Fantasia believed that all of the
improvements can be done this spring and wants the improvements to be a permanent fix at the
fields. After a brief discussion, it was decided that a working group will be created with
Lexington Little League. Once the model is established, then other sports may be able to get
involved. The next steps include Little League sharing a list of the recommended improvements
with Town staff in the next few weeks and to schedule an initial kick-off meeting tobe held in
February.
5.ACROSS Lexington –Keith Ohmart
Keith Ohmart, chairman of the Greenways Corridor Committee, provided his annual update to the
Committee. Route J, which is 1.7 miles long, was completed in Fall2018 and Route L, which is
4.4 miles long, was completed this past fall. Currently, the ACROSS Lexington system consists
of over 30 miles of trails. There are two new routes proposed for 2020: Routes K and M. Mr.
Ohmart is currently working with the Town Manager’s Office regarding the property lines at 41
Peacock Farm Road, which is along Route K. Once these two routes are completed, the system
will consist of approximately 40 miles of trails. A draft design of the new and proposed trails are
attached to the meeting minutes. A potential trail at Jefferson Drive off of Grove Street is also
being considered. Mr. Ohmart will work with staff regarding the placement of signs at
Sutherland Park. He also reminded the Committee that ACROSS Lexington is runcompletely by
volunteers. Mr. Ohmart was pleased to announce that a new merit badge program is beginning
this spring. Individuals who complete all segments of ACROSS Lexington will receive a merit
39 MARRETT ROAD,LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02421
3
badge and this program will launch during the Bike, Walk, N Bus Week in May. He asked if
anyone from the Committee would be able to attend the Greenways Corridor Committee
meetings and Francesca Pfrommer indicated that she would be interested, given the amazing
work that this organization is doing.
6.2020-2021 Committee Goals
A copy of the Committee’s FY 2019 / FY 2020 goals are attached to the meeting minutes. The
Committee members and staff reviewed and discussed these goals during the meeting. Melissa
Battite indicated that it will be important for the Committee’s goals to align with the pillars of the
Select Board’s goals. The upcoming Community Needs Assessment will help determine the
priority of and timeline for the Community Center expansion.Members of the Committee
emphasized how helpful the 2017Recreation Facilities & ADA Compliance Studyhas been when
implementing or planning future capital improvement projects. In addition to the ADA
Compliance Study, the Community Needs Assessment and Athletic Fields Feasibility Study will
serve as a road map for the Committee in regards to future planning and decision-making for the
next 20+ years.Members of the Committee agreed that it will be important for the Department to
pursue partnerships, grants, and other alternative funding sources. The annual report, which is
completed each October, reports on the previous year’s goals and this is something the
Committee can review going forward. Any suggested edits, additions, or changes to the goals
should be submitted by the end of February as they will be more thoroughly reviewed and
discussed during the March Recreation Committee meeting.
7.Recreation 5-Year Capital Plan
A copy of the proposed FY2021-FY2025 Recreation 5-Year Capital Plan summary sheet is
attached to the meeting minutes. Melissa Battiteinformed the Committee that the recreation
software upgrade that was initially going to be a capital request has been removed and will
instead be paid for out of the operating budget. Ms. Battite added that the funding source for the
Athletic Fields Feasibility Study will be the tax levy, not CPA funding. In current capital
projects, the kick-off meeting for the Community Needs Assessment will be held in late January
and staff will better know how the Committee will be involved in the process coming out of that
meeting. Ms. Battite indicated that it will be important for the Committee to have a consistent
presence as the needs assessment takes place over the next six months. The Old Reservoir
bathhouse renovation project will be going out to bid shortly. The Diamond field renovation
project has been delayed to Spring 2021 as a result of the delayed opening at the Center Track
and Field this spring.
8.Recreation & Community Programs and Parks Reports
The January Recreation and Community Programs Report and the Summer 2020 Employment &
Volunteer Opportunities booklet are attached to the meeting minutes.Melissa Battite informed
the Committee that the recommended fee increases were approved by the Select Board at their
th
January 13meeting. Ms. Battite added that there is a program improvement request (PIR) to
increase the Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) from part-time to full-time.

Follow-up to Center Track & it Construction
Given that the grass it for throwing events was deemed not eligible under the scope
of the Center Track & it project, LS is looking into what it would take to construct this it
in time fort spring athletic session. At its January 7 meeting, the School Committee felt that a
commitment was made at fall 2019 Town Meeting to construct the throwing/practice field.

Melissa Battite toobtain information on cost and logistics for construction. Next steps will
include looking into sources of funding for the project.
