Present—Lynne Wilson,acting Chair, Nell Walker, Parker Hirtle, Brian Kelley
Also present Wendy Rudner, Recreation Committee
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm. The minutes from December 14, 2011 were read
and accepted as written. Lynne announced that Kris Burton has resigned so she will take notes.
Brian Kelley reported that the contract between the Lions Club and the Town of Lexington regarding
the Lincoln Park bathroom project was on Carl Valente's desk. When it has been signed, he will talk to
Dick Perry of the Lions Club about fundraising. Wendy suggested that he speak to Peter Coleman,Youth
Sports Coordinator for the Recreation Department,to learn contact names for the leagues.
Lynne Wilson reported that the dog signs were in process and opened the discussion about the needed
map signs. All were in agreement that there were two maps needed one at the Worthen Road bike
path entrance and one at the entrance on Lincoln Street close to where the path enters the meadow.
We will ask Wesley Wirth's advice regarding possible materials for the signage. The signs should be
done as soon as possible before the warm weather.
Nell Walker told the group that she has lost her best workers. Liz Heitz is now working for Tufts. She
said that community service is not ideal and would like to investigate a group named "Lexington at
Home"that appears to be a clearing house for workers. They may know of someone who is looking for
a few hours working outdoors.
Wndy Rudner said that she would-like to see someone who-caul --handle roc o ri The area and hadtwo suggestions for additions to the committee. Both women are working full time, but she will follow
up on this.
Maintenance plan for the future—All agreed that this was essential to have in place before June when
David Williams and Lynne leave the committee. Brian and Parker both felt that we need a meeting to
discuss some budget figures. Nell is concerned about reimbursement of her costs when the
committee changes. The committee members present felt that a meeting should be scheduled to
discuss our past expenditures and future maintenance costs. Since our next meeting will be with Wes
Wirth and will include discussion of a maintenance program, a subsequent meeting should be budget
planning.
The next meeting was scheduled for February 15, 2012 at 7:30 pm.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
