FUND FOR LEXINGTON BOARD
December 6, 2005
4:30 p.m., Selectmen's Office
PRESENT: Norman Cohen, Richard Pagett, Alan Fields, David Walsh, Dan Lucas, Rev.
Colletti; and Kelly Magee, Human Services Coordinator
1. Discussed amount of money available for distribution. Alan Fields explained that the
Trustees of Public Trusts invest some of the Fund's money. That explains why for
accounting purposes some of the money is designated as principal and some is designated
as interest. If needed, principal as well as interest could be disbursed.
2. Human Services Report. Kelly Magee gave the Human Services report for the period
9/20/05 to 12/5/05. It was a very quiet quarter. One request was referred to another
agency for funding. A prior request for help in making mortgage payments was resolved
for the time being. It is expected that the 30 requests to date for fuel assistance will
ultimately result in requests made to the Fund once the Federal Fund Assistance Program
limits are exceeded.
3. Other Issues:
a. Ratify Poll Vote for Funds — Lexington Sinfonietta - $500.00 - APPROVED
b. Ratify Poll Vote for Funds —East Lexington Community Association - $1,200.00
-APPROVED
C. Request for Funds — Lisa Neal to Build Web Site about Life in Lexington. The
Board will ask for more information from the applicant and from the
administrators of the Dan Fenn Fund. While it appears that there are other
sources of funding for this project, the Board will reconsider if the additional
information warrants it.
d. Request for Funds — Human Services — Christmas Clothing for people in Need -
$3,115 — APPROVED for clothing gift certificates for the 55 identified children
in need.
e. Temple Isaiah Social Action Project — Request for Information. No information
on clients will be given. Kelly Magee believes that MA will call her again. If
necessary, MA will be referred to Norman Cohen.
f. Fund for Lexington Report for Town Report. Norman Cohen will write a
statement for the 2005 Town Report.
5. Next Meeting is scheduled for March 28, 2006 at 4:30 p.m.
