CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2017 ATM&STM 2017-1 (with Updates&Errata) <br /> programming)—with the design update for the whole building expected this June. (See Article 16(e)) <br /> Additionally, a new sidewalk is proposed to improve access. (See Article 10(k)) <br /> At present, there is no decision on use of the space in the Muzzey High Condominiums that previously <br /> housed the Senior Center. Deed restrictions on that space limit it to uses for the benefit of seniors. The <br /> Department of Public Facilities currently maintains the space in a caretaker mode <br /> Fire & Rescue <br /> The Fire & Rescue Department uses industry standards and its own experience to establish the <br /> replacement schedule for its capital equipment. Unlike many pieces of Town equipment, fire engines and <br /> medic trucks (rescue-ambulances) are partially custom-made and equipped, require detailed <br /> specifications, and typically require many months between placing the order and the delivery and <br /> acceptance. <br /> The mission of this Department in the 21st century has shifted beyond traditional firefighting to <br /> emergency services, homeland security, and community education, with our firefighters now being <br /> trained for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS). The equipment to <br /> perform these missions has changed with new technologies for firefighting and communications, yet the <br /> basic pumper truck, ladder truck, and rescue-ambulance are still essential to the mission. <br /> For the FY2018 Capital request, see STM Articles 2&3, and Article 12(x) <br /> Lexington must continue to replace its aging equipment and retain back-up capacity. The table on the next <br /> page includes the forecasted need for replacing major capital vehicles in the current Department <br /> inventory. <br /> 16 <br />
