December 12, 2001
Present: Mrs. McKenna, Mr. McSweeney, Mr. Walsh, Mr. Fields, Stephen Baran,
Human Services Coordinator and Ms. Smith, Clerk
Next meeting — February 13, 2002 at 4:00 p.m.
1. Requests from Human Services Coordinator:
a. Fund members voted to approve the request on behalf of Joseph Magarian
in the amount of $6,500 for a van lift and cable equipment provided,
however, that Mr. Magarian be advised that he should pursue the matter
first through his health insurance provider.
b. Fund members voted to approve the request on behalf of Ruth McLatchy
for up to $975 for renovation work on her front porch. Mr. McSweeney
will pursue with a contractor the donation of services.
c. Fund members voted to approve the request on behalf of Sivapurapu Rao
in the amount of $474 reimbursement for a broken window, which was a
result of a hate incident after the September 11 attack, as a good will
gesture from the Community.
d. Fund members voted to deny the request on behalf of Jacqueline King for
$785 to pay the balance of a security deposit at Katandin Woods because
there is not sufficient evidence of a financial need. Board members
further felt it appropriate for Mrs. Krieger to advise the manager of
Katandin Woods that it is inappropriate for him to be referring people to
the Fund for Lexington for assistance in paying security deposits.
e. Fund members voted to approve the request for assistance to Chad
Stephens in the amount of $750 for lost work and layette clothing at the
time of the birth of his second child.
2. Board members voted to approve up to $1,000 for holiday decorating in East
Lexington.
3. Board members voted to approve $5,000 towards the cost of restoration work on
the Obelisk on the Battle Green.
The meeting adjourned at 5: 10 p.m.
