AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING DATE: STAFF: ITEM NUMBER: October 28, 2013 Rob Addelson, Asst. Town Mgr. for Finance I.1 SUBJECT: FY2015 Preliminary Capital Projects EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff has begun the process of developing the FY2015-FY2019 capital plan. The purpose of this agenda item is to give the Selectmen the opportunity – at this relatively early stage in the process – to highlight projects members deem significant, for staff to hear any initial comments from the Board regarding these projects, and for staff to respond to any questions the Board may have. All requested capital projects are shown on the attached spreadsheet. The inclusion of a project on this list does not indicate the project will be recommended by the Town Manager. The list of school projects is preliminary as they have yet to be voted by the School Committee. All project requests have been forwarded to the Capital Expenditure Committee and, where applicable, the Community Preservation Committee, for review. As has been the case in prior years, transmittal of these requests to the Committees is with the understanding that the Town Manager has yet to make a recommendation on any project, and they have yet to be reviewed and/or endorsed by the Board of Selectmen. Town departments will make presentations of their requests to the Selectmen in December when the Board conducts its review of requested FY15 operating budgets.

Valente I.2 Rob Addelson SUBJECT: Community Center Phase I Financing EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As the Selectmen learned at its October 21 meeting, the cost for Phase 1 improvements for the Community Center project is estimated $3,169,000. Since this work is eligible for funding from the Community Preservation Act (CPA) fund, a request was presented to the Community Preservation Committee (CPC). At this meeting, Town Counsel gave his opinion that of the total project cost, he believes that $322,816 is not eligible for CPA funding. This amount is for telephone/communication systems, audio visual systems, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and the installation of salvaged kitchen equipment (from the Estabrook School). Based on this information, the CPC voted unanimously to recommend to Town Meeting that $2,846,184 of this project be funded with CPA funds. Staff is recommending that the remaining $322,816 be funded with Free Cash. The FY14 Free Cash was certified at $10,303,000. The estimate of Free Cash used at Summit 1 was $10,000,000, so the use of Free Cash as a funding source for the Community Center improvements will not impact our albeit preliminary, but overall financing plan for FY15. FINANCIAL IMPACT: $2,846,184 from CPA fund $ 322,816 from Free Cash $3,169,000 Total Appropriation RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to recommend to Town Meeting that the $3,169,000 for the Community Center Phase 1 improvements, be funded with $2,846,184 in CPA funds and $322,816 from Free Cash STAFF FOLLOW-UP: TMO and Finance AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING DATE: 10/28/13 STAFF: Lynne Pease ITEM NUMBER: I.3 SUBJECT: Special Town Meeting - Article Positions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached is a list of the articles for the November 4 Special Town Meeting.
