CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2017 ATM&STM 2017-1
<br /> Recreation
<br /> Recreation Department programs are funded from three sources:
<br /> • General-Fund Tax Levy (e.g., used for neighborhood playgrounds, athletic fields, and
<br /> basketball court improvements if not recommended by the Community Preservation Committee for
<br /> CPA funding);
<br /> • Recreation & Community Programs Enterprise Fund(e.g., used for fee-based activities such as
<br /> Pine Meadows Golf Course, Community Center, Irving H. Mabee Pool, Old Reservoir, and tennis
<br /> courts). Fee collections for Enterprise Fund-based activities are weather dependent and can vary from
<br /> year to year. The Recreation Enterprise Fund makes an annual debt-service payment of$100,000 per
<br /> year for Lincoln Fields (ending in February 2018). It also makes an annual indirect payment to the
<br /> Town that in FY2018 will be $254,826. For the FY2018 funding request from this Enterprise Fund, see
<br /> Article 11.
<br /> • CPA funds (available for creation and preservation of recreation facilities, including those for
<br /> fee-based activities). CPA monies have enabled some large projects which otherwise might not have
<br /> been financially viable. For example, CPA monies have funded the multi-year renovation of the Town
<br /> pool complex, which is currently in Phase III. Design and engineering appropriations were made at the
<br /> 2016 Town Meeting, and a cost update completed in fall 2016. Funding for implementation is being
<br /> sought this year, with the expectation that construction will begin in 2017 and be completed in time for
<br /> the 2018 summer season.
<br /> For the FY2018 funding requests from the CPF, see Articles 10(1—n).
