CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2016 ATM
<br />CEC FIVE -YEAR CAPITAL PLAN (FY2017– FY2021)1 (continued)
<br />FOOTNOTES
<br />1The following apply to all items below: (a) all actions or positions cited, unless otherwise identified, have been taken by this Committee; (b) the
<br />amounts include all fund sources; (c) "TBD" indicates undefined at present, but the potential exists for one or more requests in those years; (d) most
<br />FY2018– FY2021 amounts are not presented on an inflation- adjusted basis; and (e) individual amounts may be below the $25,000 capital threshold if
<br />projected to be funded from the CPF.
<br />2Slipped one year as results of the 1 -year pilot program are not yet available.
<br />3The TBD in FY2018 is for the potential to do additional work on the privately owned portion of the Alley if agreement is reached with all of those
<br />landowners.
<br />4May serve the Town for Recreation, Community Housing, and /or Open Space (which could include providing land for the West Lexington Greenway
<br />Project). It is likely that a major portion of the funding would be request from the CPF.
<br />5$85,000 was deferred from FY2017; however, only a TBD is being shown in FY2018. The contemplated project —a mid -block pedestrian crossing of
<br />Bedford Street, a State highway, with installation of a pedestrian - activated beacon system, at or near the intersection with Eldred Street —would require
<br />State approval. The Planning Department is investigating what reconstruction of Bedford Street would be required to allow the opportunity to gain that
<br />approval. (Execution of full design and construction would be by DPW; see separate entry.)
<br />6Placekeeper for when the Federal Communications Commission issues an expected directive that requires public- safety radios change to another
<br />frequency band.
<br />7 Entirely privately funded.
<br />sCEC did not support the FY2017 $30,000 request.
<br />9Placekeeper estimates solely for the anticipated scale of the project; no design begun yet. Moved these projects to DPF as that department will execute.
<br />16Amounts are not net of the hoped -for 30% reimbursement by the MSBA. The $1,500,000 was appropriated at the February 8, 2016, STM 2016 -1, Article
<br />3, for the Feasibility Study.
<br />11 Latest total- project cost estimate of $44,940,000; amount shown is less the $2,684,811 of prior appropriations for earlier work on the project. These
<br />funds are part of the appropriation request under the March 21, 2016, STM 2016 -3, Article 2.
<br />12Latest total- project cost estimate of $21,675,000; amount shown is less the $1,733,942 of prior appropriations for earlier work on the project. These
<br />funds are part of the appropriation request under the March 21, 2016, STM 2016 -3, Article 2.
<br />13 It is projected that additional capacity enhancements may be needed for the Pre -K, Elementary, High School, and potentially if a schools' purpose is
<br />assigned to the property at 20 Pelham Road were it to be purchased by the Town.
<br />14Amount deferred from FY2017 was slipped into FY2018 and what had been the FY2018– FY2020 amounts were slipped one year.
<br />15The Munroe Center for the Arts will provide the Town funds to fully cover the debt service on the Town's financing of this project.
<br />16Amount deferred from FY2017 was slipped into FY2018.
<br />17FY2018 amount added based on discussion during presentation to the CEC.
<br />18$153,750 was deferred from FY2017, but as the outyears included escallation their amounts were left as originally presented.
<br />19$423,500 was deferred from FY2017, but as the outyears included escallation their amounts were left as originally presented.
<br />20Added as a provisional entry if not resolved by action within the Operating Budget.
<br />21 CEC did not support the FY2017 $2,700,000 request at the 2016 ATM; however, is willing to reconsider at an FY2017 Special Town Meeting if the
<br />Phase 1 scope and detail are further refined. Also, increased the FY2018 & FY 2019 amount from $2,500,000 each to $2,900,00 each for an all -Phase
<br />total equal to the latest cost estimate.
<br />22Construction funding would be provided under the State's Transportation Improvement Program; Town is responsible for funding any temporary or
<br />permanent easements required to accomplish the project.
<br />23This Committee accepts the $200,000 deferral in the FY2017 request, but not the $800,000 proposed for each of the out - years. The Town's consultant
<br />(FST) on the sidewalk condition recommendedf $750,000 /year for what would be just extraordinary maintenance and $825,000 /year on sidewalks and
<br />ramps to ensure both quantity and quality —which is what is felt to be the Town's goal. This Committee, therefore, identifies $825,000 /year for the out -
<br />years. We note that funding level neither addresses the $270,000 that was reallocated in FY2016 from planned work to fund a citizen's sidewalk request
<br />nor the $200,000 deferral in FY2017, but is sensitive to the fact a $945,000 level over those 4 years that would make up for the prior -years reductions is
<br />not likely to be practical in the tight fiscal situation that the Town faces.
<br />24Placekeeper estimate for the design based on discussion during presentation to the CEC. Moved this project to Public Works as that department will
<br />likely execute the project as it is on their site —with the support of DPF with regard to the planned building.
<br />25To be fully funded, in advance, by the Munroe Center for the Arts.
<br />26Subject to economic analysis to justify the project.
<br />27Projects may be generated from both Economic Development and Planning Department.
<br />28Amount deferred from FY2017 was slipped into FY2018 and FY2018 amount slipped into FY2019.
<br />29Slipped one year to allow catch up on prior Battle Green improvements and resolution of approach for included Harrington Road intersection.
<br />301n FY2017, the Town deferred $270,000 in design funds and left $2,930,000 for the construction funding in FY2018. While this Committee recognizes
<br />the value of upgrading the facility at the cemetery, it does not believe a $3,200,000 project is either warranted at this time or is it yet convinced that
<br />expensive a building has been justified. Therefore, only TBD amounts are being shown for the design and construction in FY2018 and FY2019,
<br />respectively.
<br />31Added and with construction funding in FY2018 as TBD because action using previously appropriated design funds is on hold pending outcome of the
<br />Town's consideration of the purchase of the adjoining property at 20 Pelham Road and, if purchased, the outcome of the associated study of creating a
<br />2nd access —with a sidewalk —to that property, across the LexCC parcel, to Marrett Road.
<br />32Expect completion of on -going district -wide funiture inventory and replacement schedule to affect the current out -year estimates.
<br />33Funded from the Food Service Fund; not appropriated.
<br />34As no decision made what purpose (school or general municipal) would be made of the property if acquired; therefore, the out -year funding need for any
<br />build -out is unknown; however, potential school need is address under Lexington Public School Educational Capacity Increase. (See its footnote 13.)
<br />35FY2017 request was withdrawn due to a legal challenge to the new structure; expect the request would be resubmitted in a future year if the Town
<br />prevails against the legal challenge.
<br />36CEC did not support the FY2017 $24,280 request.
<br />37Added as potential requests to the CPC during the time frame of this Plan.
