The intent of this annual document is to provide our guidance to the Select Board, the Town Manager's Office, the Appropriation Committee, the Capital Expenditures Committee, and the Community Preservation Committee as we work together to provide quality recreation opportunities to all residents of Lexington. It is important to note that the 5 -year plan is not simply a "wish list" of recreation -related projects, but rather comprises a set of capital projects that have survived ongoing review by the Recreation Committee, the Recreation and Community Programs Department, and all of the other parties listed above that are involved in the annual Town budgeting process. Typically, projects proposed for funding in the proximal fiscal year have appeared in the 5 -year table for multiple years and have thus been through multiple rounds of annual evaluation. In considering capital projects for inclusion or retention in the 5 -year table, and in the penultimate year for submission as a funding proposal, the Recreation Committee seeks to balance multiple goals including but not limited to: • fulfilling the Recreation Committee charge of"...administering, expanding, and promoting recreation, leisure activities, play, sports and physical education."; • maintaining the current level of facilities and services as provided to the community; • protecting and sustaining the fiscal health of the Recreation Enterprise Fund; • responding to community needs including as identified in the Recreation Facilities and ADA Compliance Study (2017), the 2020 Community Needs Assessment, the recently completed Comprehensive Study of Athletic and Outdoor Recreation Facilities (2021- 2022), and by direct resident communication; 0 enhancing the facilities and services provided to the community;
