In recognition of distinct considerations that may thus be attached, the projects in the 5 -year plan are organized in three categories according to anticipated majority funding source: self-funded from the Recreation Enterprise Fund, funded by the Town of Lexington through cash, bond, or other means, and funded by the Community Preservation Act if approved by the Community Preservation Committee. Although the intent of the 5 -year plan is to provide multiple years of lead time for planning and discussion that culminates in a request for funding, there are circumstances under which capital projects get added to the plan inside of that 5 -year time horizon, moved with respect to timing, or removed from the plan prior to funding request. Following is a list of such changes to the FY2023- 2027 Capital Plan from the FY2022-FY2026 Capital Plan (not including FY27 projects, which are all new by definition): • added: Rec-CPA-6 Community Park Master Plan —Lincoln Park [$100,000; FY23] • added: Rec-23-2 (CPA) Lincoln Park Field Improvements [$25,000; FY24] • removed: Outdoor Pickleball Court Construction' The Town has enjoyed great success over the years in building an incredible recreation infrastructure, and as a result, most of the projects that appear on the 5 -year plan are maintenance projects or projects to replace facilities at the end of their safe/functional life so that we can continue to provide to the residents of Lexington the recreation, leisure activities, play, sports and physical education as are currently being enjoyed, i.e., "level -service" projects. Given the sizable continual investment required to maintain what we currently have, projects intended to enhance or add to the current recreation experience in Town, i.e., "addition/enhancement" projects, are considered and proposed with great deliberation FY27 Capital Plan are as follows: Level -service The core purpose of the projects on the FY23- • 6201 Pine Meadows Improvements • 6203 Pine Meadows Equipment • Rec-23-1 Pine Meadows Clubhouse Renovation • Rec-23-2 Lincoln Park Field Improvements • Rec-23-3 Town Pool Water Heater Replacement • Rec-CPA-1 Park and Playground Improvements • Rec-CPA-2 Park Improvements — Athletic Fields • Rec-CPA-3 Park Improvements — Hardcourt Resurfacing • Rec-CPA-6 Community Park Master Plan — Lincoln Park • Rec-CPA-7 Lincoln Park Fitness Stations Equipment ' The community desire for more pickleball courts will be addressed by lining the Gallagher Courts for both tennis and pickleball during the capital project Rec-CPA-3: Hard Court Resurfacing — Center Courts, which is slated for FY24.
