through the Zoom platform.

minutes.
2. Public Comment — None
3. Liaison Reports
Eileen Jay, liaison to the School Committee, reported that school has officially started. Most
students began on Monday, September 14' and there will be a phased -in approach with students
either learning remotely or in person. Lisa O'Brien inquired about an update on the status of high
school and middle school sports for the fall season. High school athletics will begin on Monday,
September 21St. Practices will be held during the week (Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays for
varsity teams and Tuesday/Thursday for JV and freshmen teams) and all games and matches will
be held on Saturdays due to transportation and bussing concerns associated with the COVID-19
pandemic. Melissa Battite, Director of Recreation and Community Programs, noted that the
Lexington United Soccer Club (LUSO) made an accommodation to their schedule that will allow
for Lexington High School to use the Center Track Field for their games on Saturdays and she
added that the LHS golf team will be using the Lexington Golf Club and Stone Meadow Golf for
practices and matches, meaning they will not be requesting use of the Pine Meadows Golf Club.
Staff will be meeting with Naomi Martin, Lexington High School Athletic Director, and DPW
staff later this week to discuss the proposed fall 2 hybrid season, which is when football would
take place and is tentatively scheduled for February -April 2021. DPW traditionally does not
2
maintain the athletic fields during these months and it is essential that this has a minimal impact
on the condition of the fields for the Spring 2021 season, so all options will need to be
considered. Ms. O'Brien asked if there is a working group for all of these field -related topics.
Ms. Battite answered no, but that there are regular communications and meetings and that David
Coelho, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations, has been involved throughout the
process.
Ellen Cameron, liaison to the Council on Aging, provided a few quick updates. The neighbor
reach out is scheduled for Monday, September 28th. Fall programs are up and running and there
has been a strong turnout for the virtual programs. Ms. Cameron asked if the new emergency
blue box at the Center Recreation Complex was operational. Ms. Battite indicated that the device
has not been automated and that the AED is not in there yet. The AED will need to be
weatherized and checked weekly, so staff is working on putting the appropriate operating
procedures in place.
4. Sutherland Playground presentation
Peter Coleman, Assistant Director of Recreation, gave a presentation on the Sutherland
Playground project and the presentation slides are attached to the meeting minutes. The current
playground was installed back in 2000. Based on observations from staff, this playground is used
extensively by the neighborhood and while routine maintenance is performed throughout the
year, the playground is beginning to show signs of aging. Funding for this project was approved
at the 2020 Annual Town Meeting and the scope includes the removal and demolition of the
existing playground, installation of new play features, creating an accessible route to the player
areas at the Little League field, and extending the existing asphalt path to the water fountain near
the entrance to the park.
Given the pride that the neighborhood has with the park, the Department has been seeking input
and feedback from the neighborhood about what features they would like to see included in the
new playground and abutters were notified about the meeting. Mr. Coleman reported that in
recent months, staff have been working with three playground vendors and the vendors developed
various conceptual plans with potential designs and layouts for the new playground and the
amenities and components the new playground will feature. A total of four options were
submitted and Mr. Coleman gave a brief overview of each one. While all of the options were
appealing for different reasons, the consensus among the Committee members was that Option C
would be the best one to move forward with. This option, which is nature -based, provides
various play elements for children ages 2-12 and is unique and outside -of -the -box in its theme, as
compared to the other playgrounds in town. While no vote was necessary, the feedback received
from the Committee will guide the staff's final decision with the ultimate goal being that the new
Sutherland Playground will provide access and play experiences to people of all ages and
abilities. The project is scheduled to begin in November with a target end date of early April
2021.
5. Playing Field & Related Facility Permit Policy
A draft of the revised outdoor recreation facility permit policy is attached to the meeting minutes.
Melissa Battite indicated that staff has been working on editing and revising this document for the
past several months. Hard court surfaces (basketball courts, tennis/pickleball courts, and Center
Track) have been incorporated into the policy and other items such as a heat index policy and
snow removal policy will be reviewed and included prior to the 2021 season. After a brief
discussion, Rick DeAngelis, chairman of the Recreation Committee, suggested that the policy be
more thoroughly reviewed and voted on at the October Recreation Committee meeting.

6. 5 Year Capital — FY22-FY26
Melissa Battite and Peter Coleman provided the Committee with a brief update on where things
stand in the capital budgeting process. As a point of reference, the cover sheet from the FY2021-
FY2025 Recreation 5 -Year Capital Plan is attached with the meeting minutes. With that being
said, Ms. Battite and Mr. Coleman acknowledged that there will be some significant changes to
the 5 -year capital plan going forward as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff will utilize
such resources as the ADA Compliance Study and the recently completed Community Needs
Assessment when determining the sequencing of capital projects that are in the existing 5 -year
plan as well as the inclusion of new projects in FY2026. Staff will also be taking a more holistic
approach when determining what improvements will be made at a particular site or facility given
the financial constraints the Department is now experiencing. Staff have been in contact with the
Conservation Department to see if there are any projects the two departments will be able to
collaborate on. Work on the capital plan will continue in the coming weeks so the Committee can
take a formal vote on the 5 -year capital plan at its October meeting.
Members of the Committee followed up on the conversation from the Financial Summit on
September 10th and inquired about the creation and implementation of a new funding model for
the department. Ms. Battite stated that these details are still being worked through and
discussions are ongoing with the Town Manager's Office and Finance Department. The goal is to
have a better sense by the end of 2020 what the new financial model for the Department will be
and whether or not it will be phased -in over multiple years.
7. Recreation & Community Programs Report
Melissa Battite gave a summary of the September Recreation & Community Programs Report
and a copy of the report is attached to the meeting minutes. The Reopening plans towards
reopening the public restrooms at the Center Recreation Complex, Lincoln Park and Community
Center was shared with the Committee. With school open, athletics starting and traditional fall
youth and adult leagues operating, there is more demand for access to the restrooms, Restrooms
may open in early October. Another item that was discussed was the proposed scoreboards at
Lincoln Park. Ms. Battite informed the Committee that the donation of the scoreboards, which is
being made by Lexington Youth Lacrosse (LYL), requires some modifications to the installation.
A copy of the modified blueprint is attached to the meeting minutes. Since Lincoln Park is
located on top of a capped landfill, in -the -ground installations trigger the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). An above -ground installation is the most
economical approach and would include concrete bases for the scoreboards. The same locations
for the scoreboards are being considered and will be adjusted should the size or dimension of the
concrete bases impede on the sidelines or present any other access issues. Chris Filadoro, DPW
Superintendent of Public Grounds, indicated that the installer would need to be careful of
irrigation lines and that DigSafe would be required to mark out the site. Given the changes to the
design and the various conditions that must be met, the Committee agreed that it would be best to
discuss this topic at a separate meeting within the next week. It was agreed upon that the
subsequent meeting would be scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:30pm.
8. Picture for Annual Report
The meeting concluded with taking a picture of the Recreation Committee for the annual report.
The next virtual meeting of the Recreation Committee is scheduled to take place on Wednesday,
September 23rd at 6:30pm through the Zoom platform.
The September 16th, 2020 meeting of the Recreation Committee adjourned at 8: 41pm.

Outdoor Recreation Facility Permit Policy
(Athletic Fields and Hard Court Surfaces)
The Town of Lexington (the Town), through authority granted to its Recreation and Community
Programs Department, hereby adopts the following policy concerning the use of the Town's
playing fields and Outdoor Recreation facilities. Town Fields and Facilities are in the public
domain and do not necessarily need a permit for use. However, a legally issued permit does
take preference over drop-in use at any Outdoor Recreation facility. Outdoor Recreation
Facilities are open from dawn to dusk unless otherwise permitted with an Outdoor Lighting
permit. Overnight use of the Outdoor Recreation Facilities is not permitted at any site or
playing surfaces.
Regular meetings of a group of individuals is considered organized use and does necessitate
the issue of a Field Permit.
Permitted Uses of Fields:
• Organized and or regular/consistent use of the Town's Outdoor Recreation Facilities
shall require a permit.
• When two or more applicants fall under the same tier system and applying for the same
space, priority will be given to the sport in season sanctioned by the Massachusetts
Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA)l, outlined as follows:
• Fall Season — Football, Field Hockey, Soccer, and Cross Country
• Spring Season — Baseball, Softball, Lacrosse, Tennis, Track and Field
• Summer Season — Baseball, Softball
• Non IVIIAA sanctioned sports — Will fall under the season that is traditionally played
and prioritized with the space that is available. www,Miaa.net Examples may include but are
not limited to Ultimate Frisbee, Cricket, etc.
• Allocations will be based on availability, scheduled renovations, and turf control
measures, implemented by Recreation and DPW. (Simply because afield looks open and
available does not mean it will be permitted. It may be scheduled for renovation or have
been renovated with controls that are not readily visible, or may have been deemed by
the Recreation and Community Programs Department and Public Grounds Department
to be at its maximum use level in light of its condition). The Town will make a concerted
effort to schedule field renovations and turf maintenance to minimize impact on access
and use.
In addition to the tier (which will be issued pursuant to the priority tier system and other
factors as described below) to which a permit holder belongs, consideration will be given to
an LBO that has been a permit holder at a site in the past. As a general rule, a permit will be
renewed provided the holders have conducted themselves in accordance with the
conditions described in this policy. This does not guarantee a permit from season to
season. -Items that will weigh in final decisions will be the past history an organization has
developed with the Department, length of time an organization has been at a particular
site, history with the surrounding neighborhood (i.e. parking, no alcohol/controlled
substance and or use), condition the field is left in after user is finished for the day (i.e.
trash), and the ability of the group to conform to the rules and regulations of the Town.
• Payment is expected prior to receiving the permit, with the exception being LBO. Please
see fee schedule and payment schedules.

• Reallocation or subletting of fields by a permit holder is strictly prohibited. If permitted
fields are going unused, the unused dates and times may not be assigned to non -
permitted users and are to be turned back to the Department to other users or to rest
the facility.
• Unless specifically requested and approved by all applicable Town Departments and
Boards, it is understood that the function/activity to be held' is not a fundraiser, which
no admission is to be charged, that no tickets will be sold or collections taken, and no
items will be sold.

Parks, Fields, & Playgrounds Report
Lincoln Park - The donation of scoreboards to the Lincoln Park by Lexington Youth Lacrosse
requires some modifications for installation. Due to the park ground conditions as a closed
landfill, in the ground install triggers the Dept. of Environmental Protection. Above ground
install is the most economical approach. Above ground includes concrete bases for the
scoreboards. The same locations are being looked at and will be adjusted should the
size/dimension impede on the sidelines and or any other access issues.
Virtual Programs & Services
• A free week of trial classes were held from August 31— September 5. Through generous
support of the Dana Home Foundation, participants were invited to sign up to try any of
our zoom adult fitness classes planned for the fall. In total, 18 different classes were
available for demo and 288 people signed up.
In all, 22 different adult virtual opportunities will be offered this fall for an extended 12 -
week session. It is exciting to see the momentum build and continue from where we
started last March.
Community Center
The Lexington Field and Garden Club hosted a work day at the Community Center on
8/22. They made wonderful progress with weeding, pruning and preparations for fall.

MEMORANDUM
TO: James Malloy, Town Manager
FROM: Melissa Battite, Director of Recreation & Community Programs
DATE: September 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Operations during COVID-19
The COVID-19 Pandemic continues to impact the Department's ability to provide programs,
activities and services to the community as it once has. Although there has been a significant
impact financially, many services and opportunities have reopened beginning as early as May.
The reopening plans and state and local guidelines have provided the roadmap to create and
develop both traditional and non-traditional safe ways for the community to remain engaged in
healthy, safe activities in a variety of ways.
Thoughtful, proactive and creative planning has continued throughout the spring, summer and
fall. This has allowed the Department to remain true to its mission, serving the needs of all
ages and abilities, continuing to be relevant and essential to the community. These times have
certainly been challenging for everyone on a personal and professional level. These challenges
have also allowed for new partnerships, innovation and a new sense of spirit to emerge. The
depth of our services and our community reach has been evident. The Recreation Committee
and Department will continue to monitor and update the reopening plans.
March 2020 to September 2020
Finances — The Recreation Enterprise Fund closed FY20 with a small fund balance. The FY21
budget will require assistance from the tax levy to become whole and alternative funding
models will be explored during the FY22 budget process for the operational and capital
budgets. The reopening plans have allowed some service areas to resume providing some
revenue streams to return. Pine Meadows Golf Course is experiencing its busiest season which
has generated a large percentage of the receipts thus far in both FY20 and FY21. Other
revenues can be seen in a variety of the programs and services that have been created for the
summer and fall. As essential services have been a, focus, it is clear that our reach is much more
than programs and activities that generate revenue. Providing safe places and spaces for the
community has been a priority for all.
Facilities — The closure of all public facilities in March required an in person operation to
become fully remote. in early May, the Pine Meadows Golf Course reopened with limited tee
times and by mid-June resumed to full operations, while adhering to the guidelines. The
Swimming Pool remained closed for the 2020 season, the Community Center remains closed to
the public while staff have returned at a 25% capacity. Since March, while adhering to the
guidelines and working collaboratively with the Health Department, Public Works and Public
Facilities, playgrounds, athletic fields, tennis and basketball courts have all reopened. Parks
and Open space remained open which allowed residents to walk the trails and parks while
enjoying the beautiful park system in Lexington.
The capital projects have continued throughout this time. This includes the completion and
reopening of Hard Court Resurfacing Project at the Adams Park Tennis and Basketball Courts;
the completion and reopening of the Center Track & Field Project at Center Recreation; the
Athletic Field Renovation Project at the Diamond Field (completion 9/2020) and the Community
Needs Assessment (completion 9/2020).
Staff & Volunteers
The staff continue to work together to be prepared and ready at each turn as the reopening
phases and guidelines at times change on a daily basis. Their dedication must be recognized.
Providing essential services, collaborating and developing towards reopening is a constant goal
and to do this through a remote setting has been impressive. In addition, staff have been
providing front line services while our ability to onboard seasonal staff has been limited.
The onboarding of hundreds of staff and volunteers has been one of our largest
disappointments of this season. Working with our high school students and young adults is a
core program area of our service delivery. Providing leadership experiences gained through
employment and training is as important to our community as the actual program or activity
offered. A limited number of staff have returned during the summer and volunteers will rejoin
us this fall.
All staff, instructors, vendors and volunteers are required to participate in a training, which
includes an overview of the reopening plans and the guidelines to adhere to in order to
maintain a safe and healthy environment for both the participant and staff. These trainings are
provided in cooperation with the Health Department staff.
Programs & Services
While as an industry, Recreation has always prioritized less screen time, embracing the
outdoors and participating in healthy, physical and social opportunities, COVID has changed the
game. In order to stay connected and provide the community with opportunities to remain
connected, a new program, Virtual Programming has evolved. This has allowed hundreds of
residents of all ages to participate in a variety of activities via zoom. This includes social groups,
instructional programs, fitness classes and trainings. Each week over 250 seniors participated
in a fitness class via zoom. Virtual programming will remain an option for the foreseeable
future. Curbside services have also emerged. This has allowed residents to pick up the needed
supplies and equipment at the Community Center to borrow or purchase in order to participate
in an online program from home. The use of the outdoor spaces at the Community Center
have become home to several outdoor programs in addition to the athletic fields and parks
throughout town.
2
As facilities continue to slowly reopen, the ability to provide in person programs and activities
has become a reality. In person programs include summer camp, tennis clinics and lessons,
golf, archery, martial arts and fitness classes. Additionally, youth and adult leagues have
resumed play.
Challenges
Access to public restrooms has been a challenge while all programs are being provided
outdoors. Planning is underway towards reopening restrooms this fall as the athletics reopen
for both the community and the school department.
The unmonitored use of the parks and their amenities has been a struggle.
The fall and winter months will bring new challenges when developing traditional and non-
traditional programming. The guidelines change when utilizing indoor spaces. This coupled
with the limited access to indoor space will require continued collaboration and creative
planning. Continued coordination with the Public Schools and Facilities will continue to be
important over the next several months.
The ability to continue outdoor services will become more difficult with the loss of daylight and
the cooling temperatures. Utilizing outdoor spaces with athletic lighting will be important in
the coming months.
The financial burden will remain throughout FY21 and beyond. A funding model that can
sustain the operations and infrastructure for continued growth will be important in order to
continue offering high quality programs and services at well maintained, accessible facilities for
years to come.

discussions and decisions as it pertains to current and future funding models for the Recreation
Enterprise Fund. During the August 26, 2020 meeting, the following motion and vote was

"Rick DeAngelis moved that the Recreation Committee requests to the Select Board, through the
Town Manager, to have a seat at the table for the Financial Summit that will be held on
September 10, 2020 to discuss the short and long-term operating and capital budget needs and
potential financial models for the Recreation and Community Programs Department moving
