2020). The first distribution to CPA communities that will include a full year of revenue at the <br /> new rate will be October 31, 2021. <br /> The Lexington CPC consists of nine members, one each appointed by the Conservation <br /> Commission, Planning Board, Housing Authority, Historical Commission, Housing Partnership <br /> and Recreation Committee, and three at-large members appointed by the Board of Selectmen. <br /> The Committee is supported by a part-time Administrative Assistant. <br /> The CPC is required to study the "needs,possibilities and resources" for community preservation <br /> in Lexington. To that end, the Committee has reviewed existing plans and documents related to <br /> the four purposes designated for funding under the CPA: open space, historic resources, <br /> community housing and recreation. <br /> In reviewing new projects, the CPC: <br /> • Acts as a reviewing body for projects which fall within the CPA purview; <br /> • Acts as a funder, not a developer; <br /> • Seeks to advance community goals previously set forth in public documents that have <br /> received wide review and public input; <br /> • Attempts to meet multiple community preservation goals in its selection of projects to <br /> recommend to Town Meeting, and to the extent possible, meet multiple goals within each <br /> proj ect; and <br /> • Communicates its mission and goals to applicants, to other community boards and <br /> committees and to the general public. <br /> After completion of its review, the CPC's recommendations are forwarded to Town Meeting for <br /> discussion and voting by Town Meeting members. <br /> Purpose <br /> This Needs Assessment Report ("the Assessment") is a summary of the CPC's work in <br /> developing community preservation goals for Lexington. The CPC has attempted to synthesize <br /> all planning efforts addressing the four purposes identified in the CPA. The Committee has <br /> reviewed Lexington's current resources and has outlined the needs and possibilities for <br /> community preservation activities which will enhance open space, recreation, historic resources <br /> and community housing. The CPC has set out the guidelines it will use to evaluate project <br /> proposals as well as the process it will follow during this undertaking. <br /> This Assessment sets out the goals and aspirations of the CPC, now in its thirteenth year of <br /> implementation. The purpose of the Assessment is to: <br /> • Provide a clear statement of both broad and specific goals that lie behind the CPC's <br /> recommendations; and <br /> • Lay out the specific framework the CPC will use in formulating its recommendations, <br /> both for the guidance of applicants and the understanding of Town Meeting. <br /> 4 <br />
