This document, and in particular the 5 -year capital plan, is an invaluable guidance tool for the Committee. The projects on the 5 -year plan are the topic of continuous review, discussion, and deliberation and only those deemed central to the mission are brought forward as requests for funding. We would like to highlight that through the diligence of the professional staff of the R&CPD the 5 -year plan includes increasingly accurate long-range forecasts of capital projects that will be necessary to maintain our recreation facilities and services at the level currently provided. The 5 -year plan comprises only those capital projects that survive ongoing review by the Recreation Committee and the R&CPD, typically over the course of multiple years, and are deemed of sufficient merit for inclusion. In our evaluation of capital projects for inclusion or retention on the 5 -year plan, and in the penultimate year for submission of a funding request, the Committee seeks to balance multiple goals including but not limited to: • fulfilling the Recreation Committee charge of "...administering, expanding, and promoting recreation, leisure activities, play, sports and physical education."; • maintaining the current level of facilities and services provided to the community; • protecting and sustaining the fiscal health of the self-supporting R&CPD enterprise fund; • responding to community needs including as identified by the 2020 Community Needs Assessment, the Recreation Facilities and ADA Compliance Study (2017), and by direct resident communication; • enhancing the facilities and services provided to the community; • seeking alignment with the goals and priorities of other Town boards and committees including but not limited to the Select Board, the Conservation Committee, and the Lincoln Park Subcommittee; and • honoring Town bylaws and Town Meeting resolutions. 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 In recognition of distinct considerations that may thus be attached, the projects in the 5 -year plan are organized in three categories according to anticipated majority funding source: self-funded from the Recreation Enterprise Fund, funded by the Town of Lexington through cash, bond, or other means, and funded by the Community Preservation Act if approved by the Community Preservation Committee. Although the intent of the 5 -year plan is to provide multiple years of lead time for planning and discussion that culminates in a request for funding, there are circumstances under which capital projects get added to the plan inside of that 5 -year time horizon, moved with respect to timing, or removed from the plan prior to funding request. Following is a list of such changes to the FY2023- 2027 Capital Plan from the FY2022-FY2026 Capital Plan (not including FY27 projects, which are all new by definition): • added: Rec-CPA-6 Community Park Master Plan —Lincoln Park [$100,000; FY23] • added: Rec-23-2 (CPA) Lincoln Park Field Improvements [$25,000; FY24] • removed: Outdoor Pickleball Court Construction' The Town has enjoyed great success over the years in building an incredible recreation infrastructure, and as a result, most of the projects that appear on the 5 -year plan are maintenance projects or projects to replace facilities at the end of their safe/functional life so that we can continue to provide to the residents of Lexington the recreation, leisure activities, play, sports and physical education as are currently being enjoyed, i.e., "level -service" projects. Given the sizable continual investment required to maintain what we currently have, projects intended to enhance or add to the current recreation experience in Town, i.e., "addition/enhancement" projects, are considered and proposed with great deliberation FY27 Capital Plan are as follows: Level -service The core purpose of the projects on the FY23- • 6201 Pine Meadows Improvements • 6203 Pine Meadows Equipment • Rec-23-1 Pine Meadows Clubhouse Renovation • Rec-23-2 Lincoln Park Field Improvements • Rec-23-3 Town Pool Water Heater Replacement • Rec-CPA-1 Park and Playground Improvements • Rec-CPA-2 Park Improvements — Athletic Fields • Rec-CPA-3 Park Improvements — Hardcourt Resurfacing • Rec-CPA-6 Community Park Master Plan — Lincoln Park • Rec-CPA-7 Lincoln Park Fitness Stations Equipment ' The community desire for more pickleball courts will be addressed by lining the Gallagher Courts for both tennis and pickleball during the capital project Rec-CPA-3: Hard Court Resurfacing — Center Courts, which is slated for FY24. Additions/Enhancements • Rec-CPA-1: Park and Playground Improvements — skatepark (FY27) • Rec-CPA-4: Park Improvements — Site Amenities • Rec-CPA-5: Cricket Field Construction In addition to the projects that are included on the 5 -year plan, the Committee keeps a working list of projects under consideration. The current working list includes: • Mabee Pool: shade structure(s), wading pool spray feature, locker end of life replacement • parks and playgrounds: addition/use of poured -in-place (PIP) surfacing, water elements, shade structures • community center: infrastructure end of life • Pine Meadows Golf Course: practice area Finally, the Recreation Committee has historically been asked to provide a ranked prioritization of all projects on the 5 -year plan irrespective of funding source, anticipated year of funding request, or project rationale. The 5 -year plan represents the projects deemed worthy of funding after our deliberation in close consultation with the professional staff of RCP&D. As such, the projects in the 5 -year plan have by their very inclusion already been ranked to be of the highest priority, and those included in the FY23 funding request are considered essential to fulfilling the charge of the Recreation Committee.

The Center hosts a community gallery, classrooms and affordable studio space for local artists. It also hosts community arts events, including local gatherings and performances. Located on a beautiful tree -lined grounds in Lexington, MA, the Center is housed in a brick and wood building, originally built in 1904 as an elementary school. The MCA has conducted a comprehensive, forward thinking master planning process that will serve the Center and the community for the next 50+ years. The centerpiece is a new fully accessible, gracious entry at the rear of the building; but all aspects of a fully functioning site are being examined. The process is thoughtful and detailed; preliminary presentations to several committees that have interest and/or jurisdiction have been positive. This Schematic Design package represents Phase One of the Master Plan. It includes new indoor and outdoor amenities, such as an amphitheater, outdoor scuplture courts for student work and a full ADA upgrade. A new accessible "front door" entry point and lobby reorients the building and will serve as a nucleus for the Full Build campus.

The past few years have been a challenge and our ability to deliver interscholastic programming for Lexington Public School students during significant adversity wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Committee and the Department. As we begin to lay the groundwork for the 2022-2023 academic year and the interscholastic seasons over the coming 11 months, the Lexington Public School's Athletic Department would like to request support of the Lexington High School Boys and Girls Soccer Booster Clubs initiative and request to place a small storage box for soccer equipment for both of the LHS Soccer Programs at Lincoln Park. The storage box would contain equipment for both practices (cones, nets, small goals, balls, etc.) and games (corner flags). It is my understanding that the LHS Boys and Girls Soccer Booster Clubs would like to add a storage box (see photo below) similar to the one LUSC has received permission from the Lexington Recreation Committee for and placed at the Lincoln Field complex in recent years. This remote storage would provide easy access to LHS soccer teams and coaches given that the majority of scheduled LHS soccer practices and games occur at Lincoln Park. The addition of this simple storage unit would save time and money for the LHS Girls and Boys Soccer programs as well as the LPS Athletic Department. We appreciate your consideration of this request for the Fall 2022 season and are grateful for the unwavering support that the Recreation Committee and Department have provided to help the Lexington Public Schools improve the quality of our athletic programs, offerings and resources over the years. Should you have any additional questions or concerns regarding our support of this request, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Naomi Martin Director of Athletics Lexington Public Schools b IMG 8029.HEIC •a,L ,� ; a � sin b ,k V t Awta4s��•d��P�tiV�{ J't�'�'fOF�t ,1' ve �21 hs J r r. ate- �i J ur �! a Lexington RECREATION & COMMUNITY 0G It A Al - Town of Lexington Recreation and Community Programs Melissa Battite, CPRP Tel: 781-698-4800 Director of Recreation and Community Programs Fax: 781-861-2747 Recreation & Community Programs August 2022 Report News & Updates • Staff News & Volunteer news: o Grace Phipps, the summer Therapeutic Recreation intern has passed her certification exam.

The Recreation Committee has been invited to participate (with quorum) to streamline the meeting and discussion into one joint meeting. Abutter update — during the July meeting, members asked how an abutter is defined/determined. After follow up with the Town manager and Town Cousel, the following was confirmed: "Well there's no straight answer, but the usual answer is that it's property that either directly abuts a parcel or is adjacent across a street from the parcel. For some legal reasons (some liquor licensing, zoning etc.) it's extended further. The answer usually comes from some source of law. For zoning, it's technically an adjoining property or an adjoining property to an adjoining property within 300 feet. It's www.lexingtonma.gov/recreation recdept@lexingtonma.gov 39 MARRETT ROAD, LEXINGTON, MA 02421 (office) 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 (mail) 500 feet for liquor licenses." In practice, the department has been using the 500' area for all abutter communications since 2020.
