Minutes of the Lexington Capital Expenditures Committee (CEC) Meeting August 17, 2016 (including Executive Session) Preparation for Special Town Meeting 2016-5 & Future Meeting Dates: The draft Town Warrant was discussed and assignments for drafting inputs were made as follows: Article 2, Land Purchase 171–173 Bedford Street: Ms. Hai. Article 3, Supplemental Appropriation for Middle Schools—Additions and Remodeling: Mr. Cole Article 4, Supplemental Appropriation for School Facilities Capital Projects: Mr. Cole. Article 5, Appropriate Funds for Police Station Feasibility Study: Ms. Hai. Article 6, Amend FY2017 Operating, Enterprise Fund and Community Preservation Budgets: Ms. Manz. (Only Capital-related action would be if amending the Community Preservation Budget.) Article 7, Establish and Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Funds: Mr. Kanter. (Currently only an appropriation to the Capital Fund has been mentioned.) The Committee appreciated that the preparation is constrained in that: (1) the objective is to maintain the usual practice of releasing the report at least one week before the STM which in this case would be on September 14, 2016—only four weeks from today; (2) Several members had made plans which will make them unavailable for parts of the period until then; and (3) much of the detailed information on which to base the report—and, thus, the Committee positions—is not yet publically available and there is no firm timeline known as to when that information will be so available. In consider of those factors and the need to have a quorum, the Committee chose to schedule at this time the following meetings: August 30, 2016, 8:00 .. AM September 6, 2016, 7:30 .. AM September 9, 2016, 7:30 .. AM Member Concerns and Liaison Reports: Mr. Kanter noted that he had distributed to the Committee a file with the table of both the BoS’ prioritized goals for FY2017–FY2018 as well as those items on which BoS members will consider having one-on-one discussions with those Town bodies that had made inputs to the BoS Goal Setting process, but which inputs didn’t become one of the prioritized goals. Ms. Hai said that Ms. Barry had advised her that she does plan to have such a discussion with this Committee, but a mutually convenient date remains to be identified. Approval of Minutes: Mr. Kanter moved that the draft Minutes of the Committee’s meeting on June 13, 2016, be approved as presented and also be approved for public release. Vote: 5–0 Adjourn: A Motion was made and seconded at 9:56 .. to adjourn this meeting.Vote: 5–0 AM These Minutes were approved by the CEC, and also approved for public release, at its meeting on August 30, 2016.
