Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee is requesting $1,500,000 in FY2017 for Phase III of a multi-phased program of renovations to the Irving H. Mabee
Pool Complex. The phased approach was identified in the Engineering Consultant's Study completed in FY2008 by Bargmann Hendrie and
Archetype. Phase III of the project scheduled for FY2017 will include replacing the filtration systems which are beyond their life expectancy. The
building will have to be enlarged in order to accommodate four new filtration systems. The Garnty, Main (|ap) and Diving Pools share a
common filter system. The current Department of Health Codes do not allow multiple pools to share a filter. The Town is currently grandfathered
until the filter is replaced. By having the pools on a common filter, if a situation occurs that warrants closing a pool, all three pools must be
closed. The cos of the project has increased based on ari updated cost estimate.
Replacement of the filtrations system is a large undertaking and this project would include the following work:
, Expansion of the filter room (an addition to the building is required) .
• Replacement of piping between existing surge tank and filter room ( Main and Dive Pools)
, Replacement of piping between Garrity Pool and filter room,
▪ Removal and repla�ment of concrete decks to access piping.
,
Upgrade of electrical service to 600 Amps required for new filtration systems.
In addition the result of the p001 facility audit recommended the foliowing:
, Replacement of the existing roof.
• Replastering of the Wading, Main, and Dive Pools.
• Replacement of the three divirig boards.
, Reconfiguration of the three one-meter diving board rails (which do not meet code) .
• lnstallation of new lifeguard chairs.
,
Replacement of the fencing with new black vinyl-coated chain link fencing and gates.
, Resetting of the copings for the Wading Pool.
, lnstallation of a new shade structure.
Justification/Benefit:
The Irving H. Mabee Pool Complex is a heavily used recreation facility during the summer. Attendance at the Center Poo Complex averages
75,000 people each summer. While the facility continues to operate safely, the filtration system was last updated in 1980. The consultant's
report provided the Town with a detailed list of recommended upgrades and repairs needed, thus allowing the Town to plan and budget the
upgrades and repairs effectively and responsibly. With each year, the efficiency and effectiveness of the filtration systems and chlorinators
decreases. Repairs become more costly as the filtration system breaks down more frequently. The improvements to the filtration system will
bring the system into compliance. Funding was approved inun10 for Phase | and ou11 for Phase II. Phase 1 and Phase 11 are complete.
Impact if not completed:
If immediate needs are not identified and addressed, the p001 may need to be closed for an extended period of time during the peak season, thus
affecting the residents and decreasing revenues.

Description of Proiect:
This request is for $30,000 from the CPA to install a monumental work of "Public Art' at Lincoln Park. This is a public/private partnership of
which $30,000 is requested from the CPA and $45,000 will be raised privately by the Lincoln Park Sub - Committee. The design calls for the
installation of a notable landscape feature 'The Granite Forest" . The Granite Forest is a greenway corridor connecting the lower park to the
upper park. It will have granite benches and will be landscaped with trees and shrubs. It will be located in the meadow between the multipurpose
athletic field and the woodland /meadow gardens of Lincoln Park. This is along a high traffic path connecting the high school campus to the upper
section of Lincoln Park. The primary material for the design started with the opportunity to utilize 11 antique granite foundation stones from the
Issac Mulliken House built around 1850 and located at 2013 Massachusetts Ave. This house was being moved and renovated as part of the Inn
at Hastings Park project. The granite was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kennealy. These 11 pieces of hand carved granite range in size from
5 feet to 11 feet and are a priceless reminder of earlier methods of building. Ultimately, it is the intent to have text carved into the granite adding
a layer of ecology, history and poetry art. This is modeled after Thoreau's Path at Bisters Hill in Concord.
Justification/ Benefit:
The Granite Forest is to serve as a landmark, providing a gathering space for individuals using the nature path, the playground and the athletic
fields. This much used and loved area serves as a quiet, peaceful link between the two major recreation areas in Town; The Center Recreation
Complex and Lincoln Park. It will exemplify the principal of adaptive reuse and creativity in the park environment and will provide a window on
the ecological and social processes which shape the landscape. The spirit of reclamation is alive at Lincoln Park as it continues its
transformation from a landfill to a thriving recreational and nature treasure. It is also the location of the Teresa and Roberta Lee Fitness /Nature
Path, Dick Kirk Overlook and the Azalea Woods.
Impact if not completed:
The Town would lose this opportunity to connect the lower and upper park utilizing historical building material.

Description ofProject:
In FY2017, the Recreation Committee requests $65,000 from the Recreation Enterpnse to reconstruct the 4th Green and to reconstruct the men's
tee box on the 8th hole. The unfavorable contours on the fourth green have resulted in significant turf injury over the course of the last few
winter seasons. Because of the contours in the green there is poor surface drainage as well as poor underlying drainage throughout the greens
surface. The result has been signiflcant winter kill and a poor putting surface from the Ioss of turE grass. A Senior Agronomist for the USGA, and
Pine Meadows golf course architect, have recommertded that the fourth green be reconstructed with proper drainage and constwction methods.
The new green should eliminate the past problems of loss of turf and disruption of play to those golfers supporting Pine Meadows. A temporary
green will be used while the new green is constructed so there will be little impact on the golfers.
The reconstruction of a new middle tee on the 8th hole is another important capital project at Pine Meadows. The back tee is Iocated in an
environmentally sensitive and denseiy wooded part of the golf course with IittIe sun and very well shaded for much of the growing season. In
addition, the size of the tee is relatively small resulting in turf quality tha is just fair and is not able to handle the significant play throughout the
golf season. A temporary area located in front of the existing back tee was cut down and is currently used as a middle tee periodically throughout
the golf season for the second set of tee markers. We are planning to reconstruct this middle tee at a slightly higher elevation and greater size
with quality soil and a level tee surface. The existing forward and back tee will be used while the new middle tee is under construction. The cost
of this improvement is important to provide for three quality tee locations for all level of golfers on the eighth hole.
FY2020- $80,000
▪ Reconstruction of the cart path on the first hole by the green to the second tee, from the parking lot to the fifth tee and extending the cart path
on the sixth hole and repair the grading for improved drainage in the rough.
, Install drainage on the Ieft side of the eighth hole and by the first green.
,
Reconstruction of fairway bunker on the second hole (2) and the seventh hole.
Justification/Benefit
Pine Meadows is a valuable open space and recreational resource area for the Town of Lexington. It is used year round by residents to play golf,
cross-country ski, sled and walk. Improvements are necessary to provide quality playing conditions. This will ensure an enjoyable golfing
experience resulting in more play and revenue for the Town.
Impact if not completed:
If the project is not undertaken we will continue to have majo problems with this green both in the spring and during the season under certain
weather conditions. Significant costs have been incurred in the pas in attempting to minimize the issue and correc the problems with seeding,
aenfication, topdressing, sodding and installing drainage. The Town has sustained a loss of revenue in the past from the temporary closing of the
green by offering reduced greens fees or reduced play from golfers not happy with a poor putting surface.
Timeframe:
Develop specifications afte Town Meeting approva and perform renovations beginning November of 2016

Stakeholders:
Residents, Non-residents, DPW, Recreation & Community Programs, Lexington Public Schools, Lexington High GoIf Team, Minuteman High

Description of Proiect:
The Recreation Committee requests $75,000 in FY2017 to replace the safety fencing at the Center Recreation Complex along Worthen Road and
at the Muzzey Multipurpose Field along Massachusetts Ave. The impro ° ^ s will include removing, disposing and installing approximately
1,2001/f of new chain link fence between both locations. Approximat 600 t 4' height and approximately 400 I/f at 8' height. The 8' height is
requested next to the baseball and softball field to minimize balls from ' "i' "Ing vehicles along Worthen Road.
FY2018 - $60,000 to replace and update the swing sets and install bike racks at Bow Street Park, Franklin Park and Munroe Park. Install safety
surface.
FY2020- $70,000 to update and replace the playground equipment at Sutherland Park and install a bike rack. Install safety surface.
FY2021- $70,000 to update and replace the playground equipment at Rindge Park and install a bike rack. Install safety surface.
The proposed playground improvements will renovate and rehabilitate existing safety surfacing and equipment so that all sites will be in
compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) , American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American
with Disabilities Act (ADA) .
Justification /Benefit:
The existing fence is over 40 years old and is in disrepair. For safety it is recommended to replace the fence at the Center Recreation Complex
and at Muzzey Field.
Impact if not completed:
Over the years, frost heaves has caused the fence posts to come out of the ground and the fence is falling over requiring replacement. The
current playground equipment, use zones, and surfacing do not comply with CPSC, ASTM or ADA standards. As the equipment continues to age
and deteriorate, more frequent inspections, repairs and equipment removal will be needed to ensure that the users are safe. This is neither cost
effective nor efficient.

The past and future success at Pine Meadows can be attributed to the ongoing investment in golf course infrastructure and equipment to
maintain the eighty eight acres of property. Sufficient equipment is needed to properly set up the golf course on a daily basis and also to provide
superior piaying conditions on a consistent basis throughout the year. The existing 2002 Greensking mower is at the end of its usefui life. The
mower is used on a daiiy basis in maintaining the greens throughout the goif course. Technological improvements have been made over the
years to both the operating efficiency and quality of cut to the mower. Each day piay begins at 6 am and piay continues into the eariy evening
during the summer season. The goif course is staffed so that the greens, tees arid fairways can be cut with minimai disruption of play whiie
providing outstanding playing conditions. The quality of cut and height of cut from mowers ensures that golfers will be able to quickly locate their
ball and be able to hit a satisfactory shot from the rough resulting in an improved pace of play. An improved pace of piay and superior piaying
conditions ensures an enjoyable golfing experience resulting in more play and revenue to the Town.
The overall aesthetic quality of a golf course is very important to its ultimate financial success. The good maintenance ofogolf course requires
equipment that operates efficiently, effectively, and safely. The quality of the turf and grooming of the course is critical to the overall operation.
Impact if not completed:
If the turf is not maintained properly, it will affect the quality of play and the Town will lose customers, thus reducing revenue. In addition to the
financial loss, employee safety issues arise if machinery is operated beyond its reasonable life span.

First Year Submission? Phone #: 781-862-0500 x8480 E -mail ksimmons(arlexingtonma_gov
Description of Proiect:
The Recreation Committee requests $350,000 in FY2018 for Phase I of an Athletic Facility Lighting upgrade to replace the existing lighting
system and structures at the Gallagher Tennis Courts and the Center Complex Basketball Courts with more cost efficient fixtures and illuminants.
Phase II of the project scheduled for FY2019 requests $505,000 to replace the existing lighting system at the High School Varsity Baseball and
Varsity Softball field.
Justification /Benefit:
The current lighting system is constantly being repaired and does not operate efficiently. Tennis court lighting was last upgraded in 1986. The
basketball court lighting was also improved in 1986. With the exception of bulb and fixture replacement and repair, there have been no significant
improvements to the lighting systems in these areas.
The Center # 2 Softball Lights were installed in 1986 and the Center # 1 Baseball lights were installed in 1997. The installation of newer energy
and cost efficient systems will provide financial savings to the Town and allow for a safer environment in which to participate in night activities.
Recreation is a value added service to the community.
Impact if not completed:
The repair budget for the existing lighting systems will continue to increase. As energy costs continue to rise, the cost to operate the lights
increases yearly. Outdated, inefficient lighting at heavily used areas such as the Center Recreation Complex have a negative impact upon the
department budget. Newer lighting will enhance playing conditions for participants, provide the users of the area with a safer facility in which to
recreate, be less obtrusive for the neighborhood and environment, and be more energy efficient and trouble free for the Town.
Timeframe:
Phase I- 2018; Phase II - 2019
Stakeholders:
Lexington Public Schools, Residents
Replace. Freq:
25 Years
Operating Budget Impact:
The specifications will include a 25 -year warranty and maintenance program. This will eliminate maintenance costs for 25 years including labor
and materials. New energy efficient fixtures and bulbs will result in a operating cost savings.

Descriation of Proiect:
The Center track area is one of the most heavily used facilities in town and is open and available 365 days per year depending on the weather.
The track and the associated athletic field area are used by the school, youth and adult groups, Recreation and residents. The area is used for
walking, running, track and field events, soccer, Special Olympics and Physical Education Basses. The track surface was recoated in the fall of
2012 and that was the last recoating that the track can undergo. It was estimated to add 5 to 6 years of life to the existing surface. This request
is to totally reconstruct the track surface, do a complete renovation of the athletic field with the installation of synthetic turf, installation of lights
and replacement of the existing bleachers. The FY2019 request for this project is $3,000,000. This project is being moved from FY2018 to
FY2019 due to the unknown location of a potential new high school.
Justification /Benefit:
The track surface continues to wear out at a high rate creating unsafe conditions which affect a large number of users. The reconstruction will
allow for continued high use for a wide range of users and provide a safer and more comfortable surface. The reconstruction of the athletic field
will allow for extended use similar to Lincoln Park.
Impact if not completed:
The track surface will continue to deteriorate causing safety concerns and possible closures for more costly short-term repairs. The athletic field
will be at capacity and the hours of use will be limited by indement weather and worn areas causing down time for programs that are already at
their limit.
Timeframe:
2019
Stakeholders:
Lexington Public Schools, Recreation & Community Programs, youth and adult sports programs, residents.
Operating Budget Impact:
It is estimated that the expense to operate the lights is approximately $6,000 per year. This will be offset by revenue.
