CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2018 ATM(incorporating Updates&Errata) operations would be handicapped due to equipment down time and excessive repair costs. The FY2019 request, by funding source, is shown in the table below. "Each piece of equipment is inventoried with original and current replacement cost, state of condition and replacement time interval. Replacement intervals vary from five to 25 years and are based on manufacturer recommendations and use(type and duration). "The selection of vehicles to be replaced begins with the proposed replacement date. Then each vehicle is assessed as to its mechanical condition and work requirements. The systematic replacement program defines what equipment is expected to need replacement during the next five years with the intent of preventing any unexpected emergency purchases. Annual updates are conducted by the Road Machinery Division, Division Superintendents and reviewed by the Manager of Operations and Director of Public Works."

Project Description Amount Funding Committee Recommends Requested Source (i) Townwide Signalization $1,100,000 GF (Debt) Approval (6-0) Improvements "This is an annual request that seeks funds to update traffic and pedestrian signals in Lexington. A signal inventory and compliance study has been completed which includes ADA compliance, condition assessment, signal timing, delays and priority recommendations. FY2018 funds were used to implement issues identified by the Transportation Safety Group (TSG). The design at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave. at Worthen Road has progressed to 25% design and is currently moving toward 100% design. This FY2019 appropriation is anticipated to be used for the construction of those intersection improvements, including geometric improvements, full replacement of the traffic control equipment, signals, mast arms and opticom. The ongoing improvements will improve vehicle safety, prevent equipment failure, improve traffic flow, decrease energy consumption and allow for proper accessibility.” (Brown Book XI-8) The increase from the usual, annual, funding of$125,000 reflects that a reconstruction of the Worthen Road/Massachusetts Avenue intersection is also being funded.
