CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2016 ATM
<br />are funded from the Food- Service Revolving Fund and in FY2017, that is the case with $35,000 being
<br />budgeted for that purpose.
<br />Traffic Mitigation for Safety
<br />While traffic mitigation to improve safety has been a Capital request in past years, there is no FY2017
<br />request for further School - District -wide studies as that effort continues using the previous appropriation.
<br />(The implementation of any projects that result from such studies would be presented to a Town Meeting
<br />for execution, most likely, by the DPW.

<br />Affordable Housing
<br />The Capital Expenditures Committee recognizes that to provide for the needs of its residents and to meet
<br />the requirements of State law, the Town must plan and budget for the creation of units of affordable
<br />housing, in parallel with the continuing private production of market rate homes. Following is a brief
<br />primer on the requirements of State law and Lexington's efforts to provide affordable housing.
