Preliminary CEC Positions on the FY2016—FY2020 CIPS & Non-Town Applications to
the CPC Distributed To Date to the CEC
In preparation for the discussion with Carl Valente, Town Manager, and Mr Addelson
planned for the Committee's meeting posted for the next day (the 16th), and using the
expanded summary of the FY2016—FY2020 CIPS provided by Mr Kanter, the Committee
discussed each entry, each member made comments as seen fit, and then a straw poll was
taken on that entry to represent a preliminary position of the Committee
Of special note, however, and not repeated below, this Committee agreed it must make a
broad-ranging qualification of its support of any project that touches on any school facilities,
including school property, that may be affected by the yet-to-be-known outcome of the
on-going School Master Plan effort in a manner that affects the scope, justification, and/or
timing currently represented in a project's documentation and the presentation to this
Committee
Also, this Committee noted that for any "placekeeper" CIPS or where dollar amounts for
projected work are "to be determined", in the table in the "Capital Funding Request" section,
something other than "$0" or "$ -" needs to be entered—even if just "TBD"—so everyone

can tell at least in which fiscal year a funding request is contemplated at the time the CIP is
issued (and if later revised)
At 9.00 A M , while still in the process of working its way through the expanded summary, a
Motion was made and seconded to recess the meeting so the members could attend the
swearing in of Nathalie Rice as the new Lexington Town Clerk—with the intent of the
Committee to return to this session after that event, but in an alternate location in the same
building Vote 5-0 (A sign was then posted at the initial location advising that when the
Committee's meeting is called back to order it would be in the same building's Parker Room
(G15) )
At 9 15 am , Ms Hai called the meeting back to order from its recess
After having finished the review by having discussed every item in the expanded summary,
the preliminary positions taken by the Committee are shown in the Appendix.
Mr Kanter agreed to update his expanded summary to reflect those preliminary positions
and to include additional comments agreed to by the Committee during this meeting, but
asked the other members to advise him this afternoon if they had other changes as he
would be distributing the updated, expanded summary to Mr Valente and Mr Addelson
before tomorrow morning's meeting when this Committee would brief them on these
preliminary positions and associated comments
