• Receive endorsement by other municipal boards, committees or departments; and <br /> • Provide long-term contribution and/or enhancement to the Town. <br /> Process <br /> The Town Manager; Town boards, committees and departments; civic organizations; and <br /> residents may bring proposals for funding to the CPC. Such proposals must be submitted by <br /> November 1, in the form prescribed by the CPC, in order to be considered for funding at the next <br /> (spring) Town Meeting. Except in exigent circumstances, the CPC does not review and submit <br /> proposals to fall Town Meeting. In cases where proposals are contingent upon Town budget <br /> processes, or upon receipt of professional estimates, appraisals and the like, and cannot be <br /> completed by November 1, initial proposals must be submitted by November 1, and completed <br /> proposals must be submitted no later than January 15 of the following year. Proposals submitted <br /> after January 15 will not be reviewed and submitted by the CPC to the spring Town Meeting, but <br /> may, after review, and with the agreement of the applicant, be submitted to a subsequent Town <br /> Meeting. <br /> Under the statute, the CPC does not have the power to appropriate funds for particular projects, <br /> only to make recommendations to Town Meeting. While the power to appropriate CPA funds is <br /> reserved solely for Town Meeting, it may act only upon the recommendations of the CPC. It <br /> may choose to deny or reduce funding for a project recommended by the CPC, but it may not <br /> increase a recommended appropriation. Town Meeting also may not appropriate CPA funds for <br /> any project that is not recommended by the CPC. <br /> The CPC seeks a Town-wide and long-term perspective. The Committee expects to recommend <br /> projects that will have a significant long-term impact on the Town. It may choose to recommend <br /> to Town Meeting that some or all of CPA funds be "banked" or reserved for significant projects <br /> and opportunities in the future. It strives to provide Town Meeting with a strong and consistent <br /> rationale for its recommendations and to create an effective joint process through which <br /> departments, organizations and citizens may gain access to CPA funds for projects that will <br /> enhance the Town. <br /> Further Information <br /> Copies of this document, as well as links to a wide range of community preservation <br /> information, including the Application for Community Preservation Funding, are available on <br /> the Town's Web site at htlp://ci.lexington.ma.us/boards.htm <br /> The General Guidelines and Process set out above apply in combination with category-specific <br /> goals outlined in the next four sections of this Assessment. <br /> 4 <br />
