The DPF is in the process of considering a consultant's report of all the Town facilities with a 20—year perspective. This Committee has not seen the voluminous report and what budgeting it addresses,whether it be routine or extraordinary maintenance, which would impact both Operating and Capital Budgets, respectively. The current budgeting and finance planning is for all five years: FY2023 through FY2027. The preliminary DPF narratives include future forecasts that are many multiples of current levels; however, DPF is ascertaining to what degree to incorporate the recommendations from that report into its formal budgeting and finance policy going forward. Specifically, some of what might be in the outyears under a new 20-year perspective are incorporated into the current 5-Year Capital Plan. We anticipate that next year's requests will reflect many significant future increases throughout the Plan. (See the Foreword for more discussion on this.) See STM 2022-1, Article 2, on Page 41, for the current cost estimate for the construction of the new Lexington Police Station. 31
