CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2022 ATM& STMs 2022-1 & -2 "STM 2022-1 Town Warrant" & "2022 ATM Town Warrant"refer to the respective portions of the Town of Lexington Town Warrant, January 24, 2022, for those two Town Meetings. "Brown Book"refers to the "Town of Lexington Fiscal Year 2023 Recommended Budget & Financing Plan", dated February 28, 2022. Where our narrative includes a "See Article _." it is referring to that Article in the last section—"Warrant-Article Explanations and Recommendations". In that section you will find: We have quoted the Town's documentation for each of the Articles on which we are reporting. If we believe that quote has both adequately described the proposed work and satisfactorily made the case for the Town's need, we will not reiterate either of those matters in this report. However, additional narrative is included where we feel it would be helpful for better understanding an Article or subArticle. (If in italics, it is what we believe should be included when our Committee is asked for its spoken position.) Our Committee's recommendations and how we voted are shown only in the boxed header for each Article and, if applicable, in any sub-elements unless there are further comments on our position However, in any case where we are not unanimous in a recommendation to Town Meeting there will be comments, including from those opposed to the recommendation or both sides if a tie vote. Our oral report on Town Meeting floor will highlight elements of our written report and present any new information not available as of this writing. When we report on a capital article on Town Meeting floor during the deliberations, a committee member will provide the committee's recommendation and, if applicable, comments related to that recommendation. 3
