Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 6000 Human Services Subprogram: 6100-6200 Human Services
Mission: The Human Services Department connects Lexington residents of all ages to
information, support, and educational services, and is responsible for managing the Lexpress
bus system and other transportation initiatives. The department seeks to identify the unmet
needs of our community by providing outreach and prevention services that promote physical
and mental well being for families, seniors, veterans, and youth.
Budget Overview: The Human Services Department is requesting a level-service budget. The
requested FY2024 All Funds budget is $2,036,749 which reflects an increase of$188,819, or
10.22%, from FY2023. Compensation increases by $40,450, or 4.60%, and expenses increase
by $148,369 or 15.32%, primarily due to contractual service increases anticipated through a new
bus contract scheduled to expire in June 2023. The All Funds budget includes funding from a
Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) grant, the MBTA Suburban
Transportation grant, and the Senior Services Revolving Fund (formerly known as the Council on
Aging Programs Revolving Fund).
The General Fund budget request (All Funds less the revolving fund and grant-supported
spending) is $1,705,936 and reflects a $178,515 or 11.69% increase, with a $30,146, or 4.20%
increase in compensation and a $148,369, or 18.32%, increase in expenses.
Administration and Outreach:
The Human Services Department is responsible for the program development and
implementation of Lexington's Senior Services (Council on Aging), Transportation Services,
Veterans Services, and Youth and Family Services. The Human Services Director and
Administrative support staff provide programmatic oversight and support to department divisions
and community volunteer initiatives.
Senior/Youth and Familv Services:
StafF plan and implement services and programs to youth, families, and older adults. Services
include assessment, information and referral, case management, crisis stabilization, parent
coaching, family support, senior and general community outreach, and school consultation.
Services are provided to Lexington residents who may be in need of additional supportive
services to help them meet basic needs and live safely in the Lexington community. The
department also collaborates with other Town departments and community agencies to provide
outreach, support, and educational programming addressing mental health and well being.
6000 - Human Services 1
Veterans Services:
The Towns of Bedford and Lexington formed a Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services
District approved in December 2012. The Town of Carlisle joined the District in 2019. In addition
to the District Director, a part-time Veterans' Services Officer was hired in April 2013 when
Bedford was made part of the District. The stafF administer Chapter 115 benefits as mandated by
Massachusetts General Law. In addition, District stafF link veterans and their families to the
Federal, State, and local resources to which they are entitled.
Transportation Services:
The Transportation Services Division works to meet the diverse transportation needs of
Lexington, from encouraging and educating people about pedestrian, bike, and transit options, to
assisting those with less mobility with appropriate services. The Transportation Manager was
named the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Coordinator in 2020 and many programs offered by
the department not only serve the K-8 youth that SRTS focuses on, but also the general public.
Recent programs include: League Cycling Instructor (LCI) training, Bike Rodeos, Bike Smart
Youth, Smart Cycling Adults, Cycling with Confidence for seniors, Winter Cycling Workshop,
Commuter Breakfast on the Bikeway, Family Rides, and free trainings on how to use bus bike
racks.
Department Initiatives:
1. Continue to identify and implement programming specific to diversity, equity, and
inclusion, as well as participate in Town-sponsored racial justice initiatives.
2. Continue to support and promote access to mental health services through direct
therapeutic services offered by Eliot Community Human Services and department staff,
as well as through the William James INTERFACE Referral Service
3. Continue implementation of action plan based on findings and recommendations from
Age Friendly needs assessment.
4. Continue advocating for and advancing towards regionalization of transportation services.
Pilot utilizing one current Lexpress vehicle for more demand service, but allowing
flexibility to alternate between fixed-route and demand based on ridership/times of day.
Complete the Bike Friendly Communities application and continue to advocate and
advance goals for active transportation at schools through Safe Routes to School
program.
Program Improvement Requests
None.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 6000 Human Services Subprogram: 6100-6200 Human Services
Element: 6140 Veterans' Services
Budget Description: The Veterans Services District supports the needs of local veterans and
their dependents by administering veterans' benefits as required by Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 115. The district staff serves as a single point of service for information and referrals to
numerous town, state and federal vA benefits and services available to veterans and their
dependents, as well as linking them to support services that are available to all Lexington
residents. This budget also supports funding for Town Veterans' events in collaboration with the
Town Celebrations Committee.
The District provides services to the Town of Lexington, Town of Bedford, and the Town of
Carlisle, and is comprised of a full-time District Director and a part-time Veterans' Services
Officer (vS0). The District Director maintains the central office at the Lexington Community
Center as well as the Carlisle office, while the VSO is primarily based in Bedford. Both staff are
available by cell phone, regular office hours, and scheduled visits in the community.
Budget Detail:
The FY2024 requested All Funds budget reflects an increase of$7,544 or 4.03%. In prior years,
decreases were recommended in contractual services for Lexington Veteran's Benefits due to a
declining caseload; however, there has been a small increase in Veteran's benefits being paid
out in FY2022 and FY2023, so level-funding is recommended for FY2024.
The Town of Lexington is reimbursed at a rate of 75% by the State of Massachusetts for
approved Veterans benefits and expenses (excluding the salaries of the District Director and
VSO) under Chapter 115. The Town of Bedford is responsible for 100% of the part-time VSO's
salary and 50% of the Director's salary, while the Town of Carlisle is responsible for 10% of the
Director's salary, per the Inter-Municipal Agreement. Cases that originate from the VA Hospital
are fully reimbursed back to the Town of Bedford.

Program: 6000 Human Services Subprogram: 6100-6200 Human Services
Element: 6150 Youth & Family Services
Budget Description: The Youth & Family Services division plans and implements social work
services, which includes outreach and community programming. Youth & Family Services staff
provide information and referral resources, assessment, connection to subsidy programs, crisis
intervention, limited case management, financial assistance, and support services to the
Lexington community.
The Youth & Family Services Manager provides mental health support and referrals, crisis
intervention, counseling, and community education to the Lexington community, focused on
residents under the age of 60. The Manager participates in the Mental Health Task Force
Steering Committee and leads the Intervention Advisory Group for the Task Force. The Manager
also collaborates on the Community Crisis Intervention Team with Public Safety, Health, and
School staff.
In 2019, the Outreach Coordinator position was created and staffed in response to the priorities
set forth by the School Committee and Select Board in regards to serving the mental health
needs of residents. In 2021, the position's title was changed to Clinical & Community Outreach
Manager to better portray the role of the position to the community. The Manager is responsible
for providing case management and short-term mental health services to residents in the
community as well as outreaching to local groups, providers, and businesses to build
relationships and promote the programs and services offered by the Human Services
department.
The division also provides supervision to social work interns, who coordinate outreach and
subsidy programs, provide limited case management to residents, and participate in additional
department-sponsored activities and events, while gaining valuable experience in the field of
human services and social work.
Budget Detail:
The FY2024 requested budget reflects an increase of$3,441, or 1.62%, from FY2023, which
reflects a $4,000 or 11.20% increase in expenses, and $(559) or (0.32)% decrease in
compensation due to stafF turnover. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective
cost of living increases for contracts expiring on or before June 30, 2023. Funds for prospective
increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The
annual fee for INTERFACE, the mental health referral service available to all Lexington
residents, is anticipated to increase in FY2024, which accounts for the increase in the expense
budget. The I NTERFACE Service is a shared expense between municipal and school
departments.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 6000 Human Services Subprogram: 6100-6200 Human Services
Element: 6210 Transportation Services
Budget Description: The Transportation Services Division works to meet the diverse
transportation needs of Lexington, from encouraging and educating people about pedestrian,
bike, and transit options, to assisting those with less mobility with appropriate services. This
Division is the liaison to the MBTA, educates the public on a variety of transportation options,
counsels seniors and people with disabilities on their options, provides Charlie Cards, MBTA
Youth Passes, and serves as a general resource for transportation services and programs. The
Transportation Manager also coordinates the Inner West Regional Coordinating Council which
includes providers of transportation services in surrounding communities and local planning
entities, participates on the Transit Working Group of the Boston MPO, and serves on two sub-
committees of the MBTAAdvisory Board.
This division oversees the operation of Lexpress, the Town's local public bus service operating
since 1979, and a safety net taxi program, funded through a combination of grants and fares.
During the pandemic, the department has also taken on arranging Non-Emergency Medical
Transportation (NEMT) rides in place of FISH (a volunteer medical ride service) that paused
operations.
Lexpress, which normally has about 64,000 rides/year, did not operate at the beginning of
FY2021 due to COVID. It resumed service in mid-August and closed out the year with 11,498
rides, which was roughly 20% of usual ridership. Riders early on in the pandemic were primarily
adults working in essential services. As restrictions started to ease, Lexpress started to see a
return of seniors and some youth. Ridership is continuing to trend upwards.
Lex-Connect, the senior taxi service, which normally has about 1,800 rides/year, operated
throughout the pandemic without closure, but saw just 232 rides, which was roughly 12% of
usual ridership. Ridership on this service is also now trending upwards as more seniors are
beginning to feel more comfortable getting out.
MAPC Taxi Grant Program provided funding for services we do not usually provide, such as
NEMT and workforce rides. This new program brought an additional 911 rides, 309 of which
were for NEMT and 502 which were for workforce. Funding for this program will be more
restricted in FY2023 as the funds come from a fee on TNC rides (Uber/Lyft), which also saw a
dramatic decline during the pandemic.
Transportation Options Programs: Over 950 people registered for transportation options
programs ranging from Lex Lights the Night (a program to promote being safe and seen at night)
to Bike Rodeos, Smart Cycling for Adults, Flat Tire Clinics, virtual programs on E-Bikes, Cycling
Skills and more.
6000 - Human Services 14
Budget Detail:
The All Funds FY2024 Transportation Services request reflects a $155,405, or 18.44% increase
from FY2023. Compensation increases $10,041 or 7.52% due to contractually obligated
increases. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases
for contracts expiring on or before June 30, 2023. Funds for prospective increases are captured
in the SalaryAdjustment account within the Town Manager's budget.
The FY2024 General Fund Contractual Services reflects an increase of$145,359 or 22.82%, as
the department anticipates a large contractual increase due to the expiration of the Lexpress
contract in June of 2023. The $8,425 in dues reflects the annual cost for membership to the 128
Business Council TMA. Membership allows residents to ride the REV Shuttle between
Lexington Center and Alewife and also includes technical assistance for transportation planning,
and a transportation incentive program for Town employees.

Program: 5000 Culture & Recreation Subprogram: 5200 Recreation & Community
Programs
Mission: To provide the community opportunities to engage in quality, inclusive and accessible
programs and services. To be a leader in promoting inclusion, community engagement and a
healthy active lifestyle. Creating Community Through People, Parks, and Places.
Budget Overview: The Department of Recreation and Community Programs consists of four
divisions: Administrative, Recreation, Pine Meadows Golf Course and the Community Center.
The requested FY2024 operating budget is $3,569,455.
• Personal Services is increasing by 7.54% due to several factors including the increase to
the minimum wage and hiring additional seasonal part-time staff as compared to FY2023
as the scope of programs and services continue to increase, staff coverage associated
with operations at the Community Center, and contractual obligations.
• Expenses are increasing by 1.12% due to increased attendance at the Department's
vendor programs, and increased costs for such items as supplies and clothing.
• For FY2024, the Indirect contribution to the General Fund to cover the cost of employee
benefits and indirect services provided by other departments is $294,687, and overall tax
levy support for three Community Center staff and other department operations totals
$256,675.
The Department operates as an Enterprise Fund whereby program and facility fees cover the
cost of operations. As such, the operating budget may increase or decrease year to year to meet
changes in enrollment and facility use demands while responding to the community needs and
industry trends. The Director of Recreation and Community Programs, through the Recreation
Committee, will continue to set fees with the approval of the Select Board. The operating budget
includes over a dozen permanent and part time staff as well as hundreds of seasonal staff and
volunteers who support the delivery of programs, services and facilities along with the expenses
needed to operate.
Our mission is to provide the community opportunities to engage in quality, inclusive and
accessible programs and services. Revenue generated through the Enterprise Fund also helps
fund some of the Recreation Committee Capital Improvement Projects. In FY2022, the
Department provided a total of$16,408.15 in financial aid through funding sources including
grants from Fund for Lexington and the Dana Home Foundation as well as private donations
made to the Recreation Gift Fund, with additional subsidies through the Recreation Enterprise
Fund operating budget.

Element: 5230 Pine Meadows Golf Course
Budget Description: The Golf Course division reflects a net increase of$18,700 or 3.40%,
reflecting additional funds needed for facility repair and supplies. Contractual Services reflects a
increase of $18,000, for anticipated increases in the management and lease contracts.
The Town contracts with a professional golf management company to oversee the operations
and maintenance for the Pine Meadows Golf Course. The budget and management contract is
administered and overseen by the Director of Recreation and Community Programs. The
Director works in partnership with the management company to facilitate day-to-day operations
and conditions of the golf course. The Director works closely with the Recreation Committee in
recommending policy, establishing fees and capital projects. A full-time professional golf course
superintendent maintains the course and a golf professional provides a full scope of programs,
including lessons and clinics for youth and adults in addition to several weekday and weekend
golf leagues.
The current golf management contract is awarded to New England Golf Corporation (NEGC). In
January 2019, NEGC was awarded a three-year contract, with an option for two, one-year
extensions. NEGC has managed the facility since 1996. The current contract extension is valid
through December 2023 at which time the management contract will be re-bid for the 2024
season.
The Golf Course revenues support the Capital Improvements at the course. Additionally, the
revenues significantly support and subsidize the Recreation Enterprise Fund Recreation and
Community Center Divisions. This allows for affordable, year round opportunities for the
community members of all ages and abilities.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 5000 Culture & Recreation Subprogram: 5200 Recreation & Community
Programs
Element: 5240 Community Center
Budget Description:
The Community Center Division budget for FY2024 reflects a $33,859 or 5.37% increase from
FY2023. The increase is primarily due to increased participation in contractual programs,
services and supplies. The budget supports staff and volunteers that plan, schedule, coordinate,
manage, supervise and deliver community programs. The Community Center provides drop-in
program space and offers leisure opportunities and classes promoting social, emotional, and
cognitive wellness for residents of all ages and abilities. It provides residents a wide variety of
programs that are designed to be fun, educational and life-enriching. Membership is free to
Lexington residents to enjoy the center with flexibility for use within a beautiful and friendly, year-
round multi-generational center.
A large portion of our visitation caters to community groups who use the center to hold their
weekly, monthly or annual meetings. Whether patrons are coming for a Recreation-sponsored
service, or to participate in something offered by the Human Services Department, the customer
service transaction counter allows for one-stop shopping with seamless transactions between
the departments.
The General Fund compensation request ($256,675) is for the Community Center Director,
Administrative Assistant and Youth & Family Program Coordinator. The Recreation Enterprise
Fund request ($221,746) is for three part-time Municipal Assistants and two part-time Building
Supervisors who staff the building on weekday evenings and on Saturdays. This request also
funds part-time seasonal employees who facilitate and run community programs. Expenses
($185,400) represents an increase of$9,790 or 5.57%, and includes contractual services for
program instructors as well as the supplies necessary for programming and operations at the
Community Center.

Purpose/Description of Request:
This is a request to increase an existing line item within the DPF budget from $20,000 to
$40,000. In FY2020, a PIR was requested in the amount of$60,000 to support expenses
associated with the Community Center that do not have a fee associated with it and in turn
impacted the Recreation Enterprise Fund retained earnings. The PI R was approved for $20,000
at the time and has been used for: replacement of treadmills, risk management supplies such as
facility mobile hand radios and Building Code egress signs, the installation of Sensource People
Counter, similar to that at the Library, as well as small furniture for drop in rooms and spaces.
The Center is in its 7th year of operation and many items need repair and replacement. This
increase is to support the ongoing needs of the drop in spaces and equipment, including the
billiards room, mansion, lobby and rotunda, furniture and upholstery needs and ongoing
preventative maintenance to existing equipment in all of the drop in areas. The expansion of
programming also requires installation of new power, data jacks and maintenance of equipment.
Service Implication:
The implication on services includes loss of fitness equipment, technology, furniture and kitchen
appliances that are not currently budgeted to be replaced. If not funded, the loss of items in the
inventory due to age and end of life will result in the removal and or reduction of the existing
amenities.

Program Name: Pine Meadows Improvements Date: 8/30/OS
Program ID: 6201 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised: 9/28/22
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
In FY2024,the Recreation Committee requests $150,000 from the Recreation Enterprise Fund to restore the cart
path at the 7th and 8th holes and to dredge the ponds at the golf course.
Goals of Capital Program:
The goal of the Pine Meadows Improvements Capital Program is to conduct the regular ongoing grounds
maintenance and improvement proj ects that are necessary to preserve or sustain the quality of the Pine MeadoWs
Golf Club property.
Justification/Benefit:
The 88-acre Pine Meadows Golf Club property is a heavily utilized outdoor recreational asset in Lexington. The
course historically averages 33,000-35,000 rounds of golf per season,but has experienced a significant increase in
usage concomitant with the COVID-19 pandemic: 46,072 rounds played in FY2021 and 42,811 rounds played in
FY2022. In addition to recreational golfers, the course also supports the golf teams of both Lexington High School
and Minuteman High School. Residents also take advantage of the Pine Meadows grounds for walking, cross-
country skiing, snowshoeing, and other winter activities.
In addition to its recreational value,Pine Meadows Golf Club historically generates approximately$800,000 in
revenue for the Recreation Enterprise Fund. Notably,the revenue has climbed with the recent usage increases
reaching $1,162,255 in FY2021 and$1,099,068 in in FY2022. This revenue stream into the Recreation Enterprise
Fund not only funds the continued maintenance of the high quality of the golf course through the Pine Meadows
Improvement Capital Program and the Pine Meadows Equipment Capital Program,but also subsidizes many other
recreational facilities and programs in Lexington.
The cart path and tee boxes of the 7th and 8th holes have deteriorated over time and require restoration to maintain
the quality of the golf course. The ponds have accumulated silt over time and have become too shallow to fulfill
their intended function as water features/hazards as well as the water supply for irrigation,which reduces the quality
of the golf course.
Impact if Not Maintained:
The grounds maintenance projects at Pine MeadoWs Golf Course are intended to maintain the quality of the golf
course and its attractiveness to golfers, which in turn maintains the number of rounds played and the revenue of the
Recreation Enterprise Fund. Deferral of these proj ects to future year(s)will result in increased costs of the proj ect
from increased deterioration and/or increased inflation. Failure to conduct these proj ects will lead deterioration of
the quality of the course,which will ultimately lead to reduced attractiveness to golfers, a lower number of rounds
played, and reduced revenue for the Recreation Enterprise Fund.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:

Program Name: Pine Meadows Equipment Date: 8/08/11
Program ID: 6203 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised: 9/27/22
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
The Recreation Committee requests $110,000 in FY2024 from the Recreation Enterprise Fund to purchase 3 new
pieces of equipment for the maintenance of the grounds at the Pine Meadows Golf Course: a Toro Groundsmaster
rough mower, a Turfco top dresser, and a tow-behind Buffalo turbine blower.
Goals of Capital Program:
The goal of the Pine Meadows Equipment Capital Program is the timely end-of-life replacement of the commercial
grade equipment required for the professional maintenance of the grounds at Pine Meadows Golf Club.
Justification/Benefit:
The 88-acre Pine Meadows Golf Club property is a heavily utilized outdoor recreational asset in Lexington. The
course historically averages 33,000-35,000 rounds of golf per season but has experienced a significant increase in
usage concomitant with the COVID-19 pandemic: 46,072 rounds played in FY2021 and 42,811 rounds played in
FY2022. In addition to recreational golfers, the course also supports the golf teams of both Lexington High School
and Minuteman High School.
In addition to its recreational value,Pine Meadows Golf Club historically generates approximately$800,000 in
revenue for the Recreation Enterprise Fund.Notably,the revenue has climbed with the recent usage increases
reaching $1,162,255 in FY2021 and$1,099,068 in in FY2022. This revenue stream into the Recreation Enterprise
Fund not only funds the continued maintenance of the high quality of the golf course through the Pine Meadows
Grounds Capital Program and the Pine Meadows Equipment Capital Program,but also subsidizes many other
recreational facilities and programs in Lexington.
Numerous pieces of commercial grounds equipment are needed to properly maintain the golf course on a daily basis
in order to provide consistently high-quality playing conditions throughout the season. This request is for the
purchase of 3 pieces of equipment all of which are at or near the end of their useful life and/or are obsolete to
current industry standard:
1. rough mower—purchased in 2015; industry standard useful life approximately 10 years
2. top dresser—purchased in 2001; industry standard useful life approximately 15 years
3. tow-behind blower—purchased in 2007; industry standard useful life approximately 10 years
Cleaner energy alternatives for professional golf course grounds maintenance equipment continue to be evaluated.
At this time, there are not effective clean energy alternatives.
Impact if Not Maintained:
The grounds equipment purchases for Pine Meadows Golf Course are intended to maintain the quality of the golf
course and its attractiveness to golfers, which in turn maintains the number of rounds played and the revenue of the
Recreation Enterprise Fund. Deferral of these proj ects to future year(s)will result in increased costs of the proj ect
from increased deterioration and/or increased inflation. Failure to conduct these proj ects will lead deterioration of
the quality of the course,which will ultimately lead to reduced attractiveness to golfers, a lower number of rounds
played, and reduced revenue for the Recreation Enterprise Fund.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
FY2019: Toro Triplex tees and fringe mower, Smithco bunker rake, Lely spreader.
FY2020 and FY2021: proj ects suspended(COVID-19)
Recreation-Page 6 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
FY2022: Toro fairway mower
FY2023:None
Work Currently Underway:

Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
FY2026: $65,000- Purchase a new Toro Triplex greens mower replacing the 2009 Jacobsen mower and a Toro
VVorkman utility vehicle replacing the 2006 Toro Workman utility vehicle. The life expectancy of a greens mower
is 10 years and 13 years for a utility vehicle.
FY2027: $30,000- Purchase a new Toro fairway aerator replacing the 2006 Toro fairway aerator. The life
expectancy of a fairway aerator is 12 years.

Proj ect Name: Pine Meadows Clubhouse Renovation Date: 8/15/17
Proj ect ID: Rec-24-1 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised: 9/27/22
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee requests $120,000 in FY2024 from cash capital or bonding for the design and
engineering costs associated with renovation of the clubhouse at the Pine Meadows Golf Club. Of note,this request
was initially submitted for FY2021 and again for FY2022 but was withdrawn because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This project will engage a professional architect to develop design and engineering documents for the complete
renovation of the clubhouse including but not limited to renovation and/or replacement of the main concourse area,
the bathrooms,plumbing system and fixtures,windows,roof, and additional work as needed to improve
accessibility and bring the building into ADA compliance.
Following the design and engineering phase for this proj ect, construction is scheduled to take place in FY2025.
Justification/Benefit:
The 88-acre Pine MeadoWs Golf Club property is a heavily utilized outdoor recreational asset in Lexington. The
course historically averages 33,000-35,000 rounds of golf per season but has experienced a significant increase in
usage concomitant with the COVID-19 pandemic: 46,072 rounds played in FY2021 and 42,811 rounds played in
FY2022. In addition to recreational golfers, the course also supports the golf teams of both Lexington High School
and Minuteman High School.
In addition to its recreational value,Pine Meadows Golf Club historically generates approximately$800,000 in
revenue for the Recreation Enterprise Fund. Notably,the revenue has climbed with the recent usage increases
reaching $1,162,255 in FY2021 and$1,099,068 in in FY2022. This revenue stream into the Recreation Enterprise
Fund not only funds the continued maintenance of the high quality of the golf course through the Pine Meadows
Grounds Capital Program and the Pine Meadows Equipment Capital Program,but also subsidizes many other
recreational facilities and programs in Lexington.
The clubhouse, constructed prior to the Town's purchase of the property in 1988, has not undergone any significant
renovation in the past 30 years and is suffering the typical deficiencies and wear and tear associated with its age and
heavy usage. The accessibility issues at the current clubhouse were identified as the#2 priority for remediation by
the Commission on Disability in the 2017 ADA Compliance Study. Completion of this proj ect will not only restore
the clubhouse to a modern and functional facility suitable to support the ongoing successful operation of the Pine
Meadows Golf Club,but will also bring it into ADA-compliance and make it welcoming and accessible for all
residents of Lexington and visitors.
Impact if Not Completed:
Professional design and engineering are requisite for completing the renovation of clubhouse at Pine Meadows Golf
Club. Delay of design and engineering will delay the renovation proj ect. Delay of the renovation proj ect will result
in increased proj ect costs from intrinsic construction cost increases and potentially from additional work required as
the result of continued deterioration of the building. During delay,the facility will remain poorly accessible and
non-compliant with ADA for the duration of any delay.
If the project is never completed,the conditions of the clubhouse will continue to deteriorate,ultimately reaching a
state incompatible with public use of the building,which would result in closure of the building and suspension of
golf course operations. The loss of revenue from golf course operations would preclude grounds maintenance, and
the course would go fallow.

Project Name: Lincoln Park Field Improvements Date: 8/28/19
Project ID: Rec-24-2 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised: 9/30/22
Submitted by: Chris Filadoro Phone: (781)274-8355 Email: cfiladoro@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
For FY2024, the Recreation Committee requests $2,475,000 of CPA funds and$916,500 from cash capital or
bonding for a total of$3,391,500 to conduct an end-of-life synthetic turf replacement and the installation of an
athletic lighting system at Lincoln Field#1 and the installation of an athletic lighting system at Lincoln Field#3.
The proj ect includes a professional evaluation to determine if subsurface/base"pad" can be reused or if a
replacement is required for safe function of the field. The proj ect then comprises removal of the existing surface
turf"carpet"at Lincoln Field#1, laser grading of the subsurface, inspection and repair(as needed) of the drainage
system, replacement of the base "pad" if indicated by the aforementioned study, replacement/recycling of the infill
material,replacement of the surface turf, replacement of the (wood) anchors and edging around the immediate field
perimeter, a proposed installation of four(4) light towers at both Lincoln Field#1 and Lincoln Field#3 consistent
with those currently installed at Lincoln Field#2, and restoration of the walkways, guardrails, and plantings
surrounding the field.
Goals of Capital Program:
The goal of the Lincoln Park Fields capital program is to maximize the availability of safe athletic �elds at Lincoln
Park including by performing timely end-of-life renovation and/or replacement of the##athletic fields (3
rectangular, 1 softball, 1 Little League) and the existing athletic lighting system at Lincoln Field#2 and by installing
additional athletic lighting systems to increase usable field hours.
Justification/Benefit:
Lincoln Field#1 is permitted for approximately 1,500-2,000 hours of use annually,which can be considered very
heavy use according to industry standards but is necessary given community demand for field space. The heavy
demand is supported by the recently completed 2021-2022 Comprehensive Study of Athletic &Outdoor Recreation
Facilities (Weston and Sampson, Inc.)that calculated an annual deficiency in Lexington of 6,100 hours between
available and desired field usage. Approximately 1,600 hours of field use would be gained through the installation
of two new lighting systems,which would help to address the Town's field shortage.
The estimated lifespan for the Lincoln Fields turf system based on our usage is approximately 10 years, and the
regular annual inspection of Lincoln Field#1, last replaced in 2015, indicates that it is wearing according to that
schedule. As such,the turf replacement at Lincoln Field#1 has been on our 5-year capital plan for FY2025, and We
had not included installation of athletic lighting in the proj ect.
However,we are revising our Lincoln Fields capital program and overall 5-year capital plan based on two new
pieces of data. First, although it has been clear for years that Lexington operates at a deficit of field space,the
magnitude of the deficiency as quantified in the aforementioned comprehensive study is notable and merits action.
Second,the acceptance of the Lexington High School proj ect by MSBA raises the likelihood that use of the athletic
fields at the Center Recreation Complex will be reduced substantially, further increasing and already large field
availability de�cit, for an extended duration in the relatively near term.
In light of these developments, we are making two changes to our Lincoln Park Fields capital program: 1) accelerate
the turf replacement schedule, and 2) increase the available hours of use by installing athletic lighting systems. In
the near term, these are proactive actions that will at least mitigate the potential loss of field use at the Center
Recreation Complex during a LHS building proj ect, and in the long term, or if Center Recreation Complex fields
Recreation-Page 12 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
aren't taken offline during LHS proj ect,the addition of athletic lighting will contribute to reducing the magnitude of
our"regular"deficit in available fields in Lexington.
Impact if Not Completed:
The regular replacement of the synthetic turf system of the fields at Lincoln Park is simply an ongoing maintenance
issue that must occur approximately every 10 years to maintain the safety and playability of the fields. If the
synthetic turf system is not replaced at its end-of-life,the field will not meet safety standards and will ultimately
have to be closed.
The deferral of the turf replacement at Lincoln Field#1 by a year will push the replacement schedule for the other
two fields back by a year and would result in at least one year, and possibly two years, during which a field at
Lincoln would be offline concurrent with disrupted usage of fields at Center Recreation Complex. Such concurrent
field losses would have major repercussions for the many field users in Lexington.
The installation of athletic lighting at Lincoln Field#1 is necessary to optimize the usage of the existing field space
in Lexington and to begin to reduce the deficit between desired and available field usage. Failure to install lighting
at Lincoln Field#1 will mean at best that we will continue to be unable to support the recreational needs of the
community and at worst will face significant further reduction in field availability for the several years of a LHS
building proj ect.

Proj ect Name: Park Improvements -Athletic Fields Date: 9/20/22
Project ID: Rec-24-3 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised:
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee is requesting a total of$6,180,000 in FY2028 for the construction of new athletic fields
at the current site of the Lexington Public School administrative offices building. This proj ect is contingent upon
the Lexington Public Schools administrative offices being relocated. For this project, $2,000,000 is not CPA-
eligible (additional information is located under request Rec-CPA-2 -Park Improvements -Athletic Fields).
This project calls for the installation of two full-size multi-purpose synthetic turf�elds (330'x 195'). These fields
would be lighted and other amenities would include expanding the parking area outside of school traffic lanes and
constructing ADA accessible pathways that connect the parking areas to the different fields throughout the site. The
configuration of facilities and�elds allows for independent and concurrent field use.
Justification/Benefit:
In the 2021-2022 Comprehensive Study of Athletic &Outdoor Recreation Facilities, an annual deficiency of 6,100
hours between available field hours as compared to the field hours needed was identified. Specifically, the Town
has a field shortage equivalent to one (1) large rectangle,multi-purpose field and fourteen(14) small rectangle,
multi-purpose fields. It is estimated that approximately 4,600 hours of field use would be gained as a result of this
proj ect, so it would help to address the Town's field shortage in a significant manner.
Impact if Not Completed:
The impact of not approving this request is the Town will continue to experience a significant field shortage with its
rectangular,multi-purpose fields. This would impact the Lexington Public Schools,youth and adult sports leagues,
and residents.
Timeframe:
FY2028.
Replacement Frequency:
10 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost proj ections are based on similar past proj ects and information provided by vendors and architects in September
2022. All cost estimates are provided in then-year dollars(FY2028 request in FY2028 dollars).
Stakeholders: Residents,Non-Residents, Lexington Public Schools, Youth and Adult Organizations, DPW,
Recreation& Community Programs, Recreation Committee.
Operating Budget Impact:
DPW staff hours, equipment, and materials costs should decrease with improved field conditions that will require
routine maintenance and not emergency repairs.

Proj ect Name: Pool Water Chemistry Automated Controllers Date: 9/23/22
Project ID: Rec-24-4 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised:
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee requests $35,000 in FY2024 to replace the water chemistry automated controllers that
are at the Irving H. Mabee Town Pool Complex. The new automated controller system,manufactured by BECS
Technology, would ensure that the four pools at the complex remain chemically balanced at all times as it features
technology that enables staff to adjust the water chemistry settings either in person or remotely.
Justification/Benefit:
The current Pentair automated system was installed during the Town Pool renovations in 2017. However,the
technology used in this system is antiquated, outdated, and no longer supported by the manufacturer. This has made
it extremely difficult for staff to troubleshoot problems as they have occurred. The BECS system is the leader in
aquatics technology and comes highly recommended from service providers in the commercial pool industry.
Impact if Not Completed:
If the current system falters,then DPW staff would need to balance the pools manually,which is not an efficient use
of time or resources. Additionally, it could also result in the facility closing when water chemistry could not be
achieved. If that was to happen,the loss of this seasonal, community resource would negatively impact thousands
of visitors and significantly damage the department's financial standing and reputation.
Timeframe:
Winter 2024.
Replacement Frequency:
20 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost estimate is based on similar past projects and information provided by vendors in September 2022.
Stakeholders: Residents,Non-Residents, DPW,Recreation& Community Programs, Recreation Committee.
Operating Budget Impact:
If the current automated controllers fail,then the department would incur additional expenses for chlorine and
operations would not be as ef�cient as possible. There would also be a possibility of the Town Pool experiencing
closures when the pools were not chemically balanced,which would impact the revenue generated by the facility.

Proj ect Name: Strategic Plan Update Date: 9/23/22
Project ID: Rec-24-5 Department: Recreation& Community Programs Revised:
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: mbattite@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee requests $100,000 in FY2027 to update the department's Strategic Plan. The initial plan
was finalized in February 2014 and was targeted for the years 2014-2016. According to industry standards, a
strategic plan should be updated every 3-5 years. �Vith this request scheduled for FY2027, it would be 13 years
since the Strategic Plan was first implemented.
Justification/Benefit:
The primary focus of the 2014-2016 Strategic Plan was (at that time)preparing for the upcoming move to the
Community Center and the impending reorganization of the department. The services, functions, and operations of
the department have increased and evolved significantly over the past eight years. During this period of time,the
department has completed a variety of plans, such as the 2017 ADA Compliance Study, 2020 Community Needs
Assessment, 2021-2022 Comprehensive Study of Athletic&Outdoor Recreation Facilities, and the 2022 Open
Space &Recreation Plan(OSRP)Update. The intent of the Strategic Plan Update is to review the complex, robust
programs and services offered by the department and combined with the findings of the previous plans, develop a
comprehensive set of goals, objectives, and action items. This road map will guide the decision-making process for
the department as it moves forward in the coming years.
Impact if Not Completed:
If this request is not approved,then the initial Strategic Plan will continue to become more outdated and obsolete
each year since its original implementation back in 2014.
Timeframe:
FY2027.
Replacement Frequency:
5 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost estimate is based on similar past projects and information provided by vendors in September 2022. All cost
estimates are provided in then-year dollars (FY2027 request in FY2027 dollars).
Stakeholders: Recreation& Community Programs,Recreation Committee, DPW, Residents,Non-Residents.
Operating Budget Impact:
The recommendations from the Strategic Plan will provide staff with a comprehensive resource that will help guide
decisions to maximize efficiencies across all operations of the department.

Program Name: Park and Playground Improvements Date: 8/30/OS
Program ID: Rec-CPA-1 Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised: 9/28/22
Submitted by: Peter Coleman Phone: (781) 698-4803 Email: pcoleman@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
The Recreation Committee requests $155,000 in FY2024 to update and replace the playground equipment and
safety surfacing and install signage at Justin Park. The new playground equipment would be designed for children
ages 2-5 and/or ages 5-12. Once the new play equipment has been installed, an inspection by an independent,third-
party company will be completed. Additionally,based on the recommendations in the 2017 ADA Compliance
Study, an accessible route will be installed between the accessible parking area and the playground.
Goals of Capital Program:
Through the Community Needs Assessment, the playgrounds have been classified as either neighborhood or
community parks and they are used frequently by the youth of Lexington. The existing play equipment at the
various parks is outdated and needs to be replaced. The playground equipment at Justin Park was last replaced in
2003 and play structures typically have a life cycle of 15-20 years, depending on the amount of use.
The proposed playground improvements will renovate and rehabilitate existing safety surfacing and equipment so
that all sites will be in compliance with local and national health and safety standards.
Impact if Not Maintained:
Based on the playground audits and the site assessments from the Community Needs Assessment,both completed in
2020, the current playground equipment,use zones, and surfacing are at the end of their life cycle and the Consumer
Product Safety Commission(CPSC),American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM),ADA standards have
been revised over the years in an effort to maximize safety and accessibility. 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.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
In FY2017,the safety fencing at the Center Recreation Complex along Worthen Road and at Muzzey Field along
Massachusetts Avenue was replaced. In FY2018,new swings were installed at Munroe Park, Franklin Park, and at
the Center Recreation Complex. In FY2021/FY2022,the playground equipment and safety surfacing was replaced
and ADA improvements were completed at Sutherland Park. In FY2022,the playground equipment and safety
surfacing was replaced and funding was approved for ADA improvements at Rindge Park. A total of$475,000 was
appropriated for these four proj ects.
Work Currently Underway:
Funding was appropriated in FY2023 ($200,000)to update and replace the playground equipment and safety
surfacing at Kinneens Park. The proj ect also calls for the installation of fencing around the playground, signage,
park benches, and a bike rack at this neighborhood park. Poured-in place (PIP) safety surfacing Will be installed at
specific locations,which will greatly enhance accessibility to those play elements and significantly reduce the
maintenance needed at the site going forward. The initial community meeting Was held in Spring 2022. The next
community meeting will take place in October 2022 and the design will be finalized this fall. It is anticipated that
this proj ect will be completed in Spring 2023.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
FY2025: $805,000-Update and replace the playground equipment and rehabilitate the rubber poured-in-place
safety surfacing at Lincoln Park. The Lincoln Park Playground is one of two community playgrounds in Lexington.
The new playground will provide universal access to all play components and elements so the playground will be
Recreation-Page 23 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
welcoming and accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities. Once the new playground has been installed, an
inspection by an independent,third-party company will be completed. The playground equipment was last replaced
in 2003 and the safety surfacing was last rehabilitated in 2013.
FY2026: $1,13 0,000-Update and replace the playground equipment and install safety surfacing at the Center
Playground at the Center Recreation Complex. The Center Playground is one of two community playgrounds in
Lexington. The new playground will feature poured-in-place safety surfacing(as compared to the engineered wood
�ber that is there currently) and will provide universal access to all play components and elements so the
playground will be welcoming and accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities. Once the new playground has
been installed, an inspection by an independent, third-party company will be completed. The playground equipment
was last replaced in 2006.
FY2027: $300,000-Replace the equipment and install a new lighting system at the Skate Park, located at the
Center Recreation Complex. This request is being brought forward based on feedback received from the
community about the need for nighttime use at the Skate Park. The equipment at the Skate Park was last replaced in
2014.
Basis for Cost Projections:
The cost projections are based on similar renovation projects and an updated cost estimate provided in September
2022. All cost estimates are provided in then-year dollars(FY2024 request in FY2024 dollars,FY2025 request in
FY2025 dollars, FY2026 request in FY2026 dollars,FY2027 in FY2027 dollars).
Stakeholders: Residents and Non-Residents
Operating Budget Impact:
The playground equipment will need to be removed if it is deemed unsafe.

Program Name: Park Improvements -Athletic Fields Date: 9/15/06
Program ID: Rec-CPA-2 Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised: 9/28/22
Submitted by: Chris Filadoro Phone: (781)274-8355 Email: cfiladoro@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
The Recreation Committee requests $285,000 in FY2024 to renovate the Bridge School Fields. The renovation will
include irrigation upgrades, laser grading, new natural grass, and the installation of new backstops, signage, and
park benches. Additionally,based on the recommendations in the 2017 ADA Compliance Study, the route to the
fields from the sidewalk that runs along the school's entrance driveway will be formalized to become compliant with
accessibility regulations. The routes betWeen the two softball field and the playground will also be formalized to
provide universal access throughout the site.
The Town of Lexington athletic �elds see excessive use and timely renovations and updates are critical to provide
safe and playable fields for all user groups. The athletic fields are used by the Residents,Non-Residents, Lexington
Public Schools, Youth and Adult League programs, Recreation& Community Programs and by youth& adult
organizations and neighborhood families evenings and weekends. Proposed future renovations will include natural
turf, drainage,new irrigation systems (where applicable), and site amenities (benches,backstops, etc.).
Goals of Capital Program:
Safety for all participants is the maj or concern and improving upon the safety of the fields is the maj or benefit to all
users. The Town of Lexington athletic fields are constantly used by recreation, school,youth, and adult groups.
They are in need of maj or repairs that cannot be completed within the operating budget. There are safety issues with
faulty backstops,uneven turf,uneven infield areas, and drainage. This is an ongoing multi-year capital program to
address safety and playability concerns and to provide adequate and safe field conditions for neighborhood families,
recreation, and school programs. The benefit would be to renovate the fields to a condition where they will be safe,
playable, and more easily maintained.
Impact if Not Maintained:
The Public Works Department oversees the maintenance of the school and Town athletic facilities. The impact of
not approving this request is a continuing deterioration of the fields which may lead to injuries and cancellation of
games. This will impact the School teams,youth leagues, adult leagues, and Recreation programs and affect the
quality of life in Lexington.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
In FY2017,the multi-purpose �eld at Adams Park was renovated. In FY2018, irrigation upgrades were made at 14
athletic fields throughout toWn(Center, Lincoln, Clarke,Diamond, Estabrook, Garfield, and Harrington). In
FY2020,the athletic fields at the Diamond Middle School were renovated. A total of$680,000 was appropriated
for these three proj ects.
Work Currently Underway:
Funding was appropriated in FY2021 ($370,000)to renovate the Harrington School Field, including excavating the
infield areas, laser grading, and new in-ground irrigation systems at the Harrington,Bowman, and Franklin.
Additionally,based on the recommendations in the 2017 ADA Compliance Study, at Harrington,the gravel
driveway from Lowell Street into the site is being paved to allow for the provision of additional accessible parking
and a formal entrance. A route from the school drive to the softball and baseball team areas is also being created
and the team areas are being renovated to provide more appropriate wheelchair space,which would make them
accessible. This proj ect is on hold until the status of the proposed Mystic River Watershed stormwater mitigation
proj ect is known as ADA components are included in both proj ects.
Recreation-Page 26 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
In FY2022, funding was appropriated to renovate the Muzzey Field($155,000). The renovation will include
irrigation upgrades, laser grading,the installation of new natural grass, and an accessible path will also be installed
as part of this renovation. This proj ect is tentatively scheduled to take place during calendar year 2023.
In FY2023, funding was appropriated to renovate the Fiske School Fields ($250,000). The renovation will include
installation of an irrigation system, laser grading,new natural grass, and the installation of new backstops, fencing,
and signage. Additionally,based on the recommendations in the 2017 ADA Compliance Study, additional walks
will be installed to provide accessibility to the various ball field team areas and these walks should be extended
beyond the team areas to provide general access to the shared outfields in the center of the site. It is anticipated that
this proj ect will be completed in calendar year 2023.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
FY2025: $480,000-Bowman Field renovation will include a complete reconstruction with the installation of a new
natural grass Little League field,new irrigation system,new backstops, signage, and park benches. Additionally,
the trail that leads to the the abutting Dunback Meadow conservation area will be restored, and based on the
recommendations in the ADA Compliance Study,the end curb that runs parallel to the dugouts will be cut back to
allow access to the ball field from the parking lot and an accessible path will be installed from the dugout on the
parking lot side of the field behind the backstop to provide access to the dugout closest to the playground.
FY2028: $6,180,000- Harrington School(this project is contingent upon the Lexington Public Schools
administrative offices being relocated). In the 2021-2022 Comprehensive Study of Athletic & Outdoor Recreation
Facilities, an annual deficiency of 6,100 hours between available field hours as compared to the �eld hours needed
was identified. Specifically, the Town has a field shortage equivalent to one (1) large rectangle,multi-purpose field
and fourteen(14) small rectangle,multi-purpose �elds. With the demolition of the current LPS admin building,this
project calls for the installation of two full-size multi-purpose synthetic turf fields (330'x 195'). These fields would
be lighted and other amenities would include expanding the parking area outside of school traffic lanes and
constructing ADA accessible pathways that connect the parking areas to the different fields throughout the site. The
configuration of facilities and fields allows for independent and concurrent field use. It is estimated that
approximately 4,600 hours of field use would be gained as a result of this project, so it would help to address the
Town's field shortage in a significant manner. For this request, $4,180,000 is CPA-eligible.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost proj ections are based on similar past proj ects and information provided by vendors and architects in September
2022. All cost estimates are provided in then-year dollars(FY2024 request in FY2024 dollars,FY2025 request in
FY2025 dollars, FY2028 request in FY2028 dollars).
Stakeholders: Residents,Non-Residents, Lexington Public Schools, Youth and Adult League programs,DPW,
Recreation&Community Programs, Recreation Committee.
Operating Budget Impact:
DPW staff hours, equipment and materials costs should decrease with improved field conditions that will require
routine maintenance and not emergency repairs.

Proj ect Name: Park Improvements - Site Amenities Date: 9/14/21
Project ID: Rec-CPA-3 Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised: 9/20/22
Submitted by: Peter Coleman Phone: (781) 698-4803 Email: pcoleman@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
The Recreation Committee requests $30,000 in FY2025 to update and replace site amenities at various parks and
recreational facilities. Site amenities can include,but are not limited to, signage, shade structures,park and player
benches, fencing, gates,backstops,bike racks, trash and recycle receptacles, and water fountains.
Justification/Benefit:
While the 2020 Community Needs Assessment highlighted several strengths that currently exist within the Town's
park system, one area for improvement is in regards to the amenities present at each site. Twenty-seven(27)
individual park/site assessments were completed during the Community Needs Assessments and approximately
80% of the assessments completed(21 out of 27) identified site amenities as a deficiency with the lack and/or poor
condition of signage, spectator seating,pedestrian lighting, and trash/recycle receptacles as the most commonly
listed deficiencies. Recent capital improvement proj ects have included the installation of new amenities,whereas
the amenities at other parks have aged and are in poor condition or are non-existent altogether. Establishing
consistent signage throughout the Town's parks will enhance the overall appearance as well as the user's experience
while at these facilities. This request will help to address the shortcomings that were identified in the Community
Needs Assessment.
Impact if Not Completed:
The Public V�orks Department oversees the maintenance of the Town's parks,playgrounds, and athletic facilities.
The impact of not approving this request is a continuing deterioration of the amenities that are currently in place,
which could ultimately lead to their removal. This would be to the detriment of all park users,whether it be
residents,non-residents, the Lexington Public Schools,youth and adult sports organizations, and Recreation and
Community Programs Department-sponsored programs and activities.
Timeframe:
FY2025 and FY2027.
Replacement Frequency:
10-15 years, depending on the amenity.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
FY2027 - $30,000 for upgrades and enhancements to site amenities at the various parks.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Based on the actual cost for these items when purchased during previous capital improvement proj ects.
Stakeholders: Residents,Non-Residents, Lexington Public Schools,Youth and Adult League programs,
Recreation& Community Programs, Recreation Committee.
Operating Budget Impact:
If this request is not approved,then these items would need to be purchased out of the Department's operating
budget.

Project Name: Cricket Field Construction Date: 8/11/16
Project ID: Rec-CPA-4 Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised: 9/20/22
Submitted by: Peter Coleman/Chris Filadoro Phone: 781-698-4803 Email: pcoleman@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
*'�Due to the field use arrangements that have been made with cricket organizations in recent years, combined with
the layout of a cricket field at Minuteman High School,the recommendation is to remove this request from the 5-
Year Capital Plan.**
The Recreation Committee is requesting $200,000 in FY2026 to build a cricket field. This proj ect would include
the construction of a new cricket�eld. The site for the cricket field is unknoWn at this time and will depend on
whether the proj ect involves the conversion of an existing athletic �eld to a cricket field or if it vvill be the creation
and construction of a brand new cricket field. This request was introduced in the plan four years ago and as of
September 2021, a location has not yet been identified. In the meantime, staff continue to work with the various
cricket advocates in an attempt to come up with a field that is appropriately sized for practices and matches for the
short-term.
Justification/Benefit:
Played throughout the World,the sport of cricket is gaining in popularity in the United States. Locally, the United
Cricket League (UCL)was created in 2013 and offers cricket opportunities to the youth of Lexington. The
dimensions and specifications required for a cricket field are unique. The required dimensions for the batting area,
referred to as the "pitch," are 66 feet in length by 10 feet in width and this area needs to be a hard, firm surface, such
as compacted clay. Another unique feature is that the ball can be hit in any direction. As a result, the entire field
should have a radius of 180 feet,which makes for an extensive playing area. Currently, cricket is played on natural
grass multi-purpose athletic fields in Lexington,tivhich are the most heavily used athletic fields in toWn.
Constructing a field specific for cricket use Would not only promote the game of cricket,but it would also help to
reduce the amount of maintenance needed on the existing multi-purpose athletic fields. The Recreation Committee
is charged with pursuing new,up-and-coming recreational activities for the residents of Lexington and the
construction of a cricket field would enable cricket organizations to expand their programs and offerings within the
community.
Impact if Not Completed:
The impact of not approving this request is that cricket Would continue to be played on the multi-purpose athletic
fields, Which are the most heavily used athletic �elds in town. This means that the cricket opportunities available to
the community would be limited. Additionally, the overuse of the multi-purpose athletic fields Would result in the
continued deterioration of these fields,which could cause injuries and game cancellations.
Timeframe:
2026.
Replacement Frequency:
15 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
The cost estimate is based on similar past proj ects and information from vendors and architects. This cost estimate
is in then-year dollars (FY2026 request in FY2026 dollars).
Recreation-Page 31 Printed Novernbe�29, 2022
Stakeholders: Residents,Non-Residents,United Cricket League,Adult Cricket Organizations, Recreation&
Community Programs, Recreation Committee, DPW.
Operating Budget Impact:
The impact that this proj ect will have on the operating budget is unknown at this time since the location of the field
is still to be determined. However,by designating a field specifically for cricket use, DPW staff hours, equipment,
and materials should decrease as a result of this proj ect.

Proj ect Name: Outdoor Pickleball Court Construction Date: 9/20/22
Project ID: Rec-CPA-S Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised:
Submitted by: Melissa Battite Phone: (781) 698-4801 Email: pcoleman@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee is requesting $250,000 in FY2027 to construct four permanent outdoor pickleball courts.
This proj ect would include the construction of four new pickleball courts as well as the installation of lighting and
fencing around the perimeter of the courts. This is serving as a placeholder as the site for the pickleball courts is
unknown at this time.
Justification/Benefit:
Pickleball, which is a combination of table tennis,badminton, and tennis, is the fastest growing sport in the country.
Pickleball can be played by people of all ages and has quite a following in Lexington. The Recreation and
Community Programs Department currently offers an indoor pickleball program during the school year and an
outdoor program during the late spring and summer months and these programs are at maximum capacity with an
extensive waitlist each session. In recent years,the tennis courts at Clarke,Adams, and Valley have also been lined
for pickleball, creating 14 pickleball courts that serve as dual-purpose with the 7 tennis courts at these sites. As of
now,there are no stand-alone outdoor pickleball courts in Lexington.
While the 7 tennis/14 pickleball dual-use courts have served a purpose,they are not meeting the overwhelming
demand for pickleball in town. The need for dedicated outdoor pickleball courts was clearly stated in the 2020
Community Needs Assessment. Additionally, during the design phase of the Gallagher/Farias Courts reconstruction
proj ect, a tennis/pickleball working group was formed with the intent of making recommendations that would help
to address the various tennis and pickleball needs in the community, The working group expressed its unanimous
support for constructing stand-alone pickleball courts and consider this request a tivin-win for tennis and pickleball
players alike.
This request has been in the 5-year capital plan previously(removed in FY2022) and the Committee believes that
based on the results of recent studies combined with feedback and input received in the past two years,now is the
time to reintroduce this request into the plan. The Recreation Committee is charged with pursuing new,up-and-
coming recreational activities for the residents of Lexington and the construction of dedicated outdoor pickleball
courts with lighting would further enable the department to expand its pickleball offerings to the community during
the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
Impact if Not Completed:
If this proj ect is not undertaken,residents will not have access to any dedicated outdoor pickleball courts in
Lexington and the Recreation and Community Programs Department's pickleball offerings will be dependent on the
availability of school gymnasiums and dual-purpose courts,which can me limited due to the numerous other
activities that are held at these facilities.
Timeframe:
FY2027.
Replacement Frequency:
10 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost proj ections are based on similar past proj ects and information provided by vendors and architects in September
2022. All cost estimates are provided in then-year dollars(FY2027 request in FY2027 dollars).

Proj ect Name: Lincoln Park Fitness Stations Equipment Date: 9/14/21
Project ID: Rec-CPA-6 Department: Recreation&Community Programs Revised: 9/20/22
Submitted by: Peter Coleman Phone: (781) 698-4803 Email: pcoleman@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
The Recreation Committee requests $100,000 in FY2025 to upgrade and replace the equipment at the fitness
stations at Lincoln Park.
Justification/Benefit:
When Lincoln Park was completely renovated back in 2003, fifteen(15) �tness stations were installed along the
Teresa and Roberta Lee Fitness/Nature Path. The nature path is one of the gems of the park as evidenced by the fact
that the equipment has been frequently used by park goers over the years. Due to its deteriorating condition,the
time has come for the equipment to be replaced so that fitness enthusiasts can continue to enjoy the benefits that this
equipment provides for years to come.
Impact if Not Completed:
If this request is not completed,the equipment will continue to deteriorate and at some of the fitness stations and
removal of the equipment will be needed.
Timeframe:
2025.
Replacement Frequency:
20 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Based on cost estimates for similar purchases of fitness equipment.
Stakeholders: Residents and Non-Residents, Recreation&Community Programs,Recreation Committee, Lincoln
Park Sub-Committee.
Operating Budget Impact:
If this request is not approved,then these items would need to be purchased out of the Department's operating

9.68% increase from the FY2023 budget.
Personal Services are increasing $145,808 or 2.78% in the All Funds budget, and $136,682 or

remaining costs of MS4 inspections and maintenance for school retention basins.
The Public Works program contains all DPW divisions. The services provided by Public Works

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 3000 Public Works Subprogram: 3100 DPWAdmin/Engineering
Element: 3120 Engineering
Budget Description: The Engineering Division provides engineering programs and support
services to the DPW, other Town departments and many Town committees. The Engineering
Division is responsible for administering the Capital Budget for the Town's horizontal
infrastructure including roadways, drainage, water, sanitary sewer, dams and sidewalks. This
includes conceptual planning and investigation, design, bidding and construction administration.
The division also issues permits, conducts inspections, provides consultant oversight, maintains
public records and prepares and reviews bid documents.
The FY2024 Engineering budget request for Compensation reflects an increase of$37,722 or
4.31% from FY2023, which reflects the cost of contractually obligated step increases.
Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases for contracts
expiring on or before June 30, 2023. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary
Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The request for expenses is level-
funded from FY2023.
The increase is in the Professional Services line which reflects the costs to comply with the EPA
NPDES Phase II stormwater requirements (non-capital). Examples of the requirements include
public education to residents, industry, commercial and construction groups, stormwater
management policy review and regulation updates and written illicit discharge detection and
elimination procedures, quarterly stormwater pollution prevention plan facility inspections, and
catchment investigations. In addition the line encompasses continued environmental monitoring
at the Hartwell compost facility.
Engineering staff work with the Transportation Safety Group, the Center Committee, Capital
Expenditures Committee, Conservation Commission, Planning Board, Center Streetscape
working group, Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the Design Review Team.
Division Goals:
1. Continue to proactively implement the NPDES program in a practical and cost-effective
manner.
2. Continue improving the DPW asset management plan.

Program: 3000 Public Works Subprogram: 3400 Environmental Services
Element: 3420 Recycling
Budget Description: The Superintendent of Environmental Services oversees the Town's
recycling programs that include curbside collection of recyclable materials, management of yard
waste operations at the Lexington Compost Facility at Hartwell Avenue and the Regional
Minuteman Household Hazardous Product Facility.
The FY2024 All Funds Recycling Division budget of$2,677,651 reflects a $83,061 or 3.20%
increase from FY2023. This amount includes budgets from the General Fund, the Compost
Revolving Fund and the Minuteman Household Hazardous Products Revolving Fund. Less the
revolving funds, the FY2024 Recycling General Fund budget is $1,486,379 which is a increase
of$18,284 or 1.25% from FY2023.
Collection services include weekly curbside collection of refuse and recyclables paper, 24
curbside yard waste collections, curbside collection of appliances, large scrap metal items,
electronic waste such as TVs and computers and 4 medical waste collections. This budget also
includes Lexington's share of the Minuteman Household Hazardous Products collections at
Hartwell Avenue and recycling costs of TVs, computers and other electronic wastes.
The DPW Compost Revolving Fund request is $891,272 which reflects an increase of$24,777

covers wages and benefits for the Superintendent, Compost Facility Foreman, Heavy Equipment
Operators; wages for seasonal staff; overtime for weekend hours; expenses to operate the
facility; and debt service. Compensation is increasing $9,126 or 2.53% which is attributed to
contractual step increases and cost of living adjustments. Debt service is a preliminary figure
and reflects payments for the completion of the culvert replacement at the Compost Facility and
the purchase of new equipment, including a John Deere 644L and Lieber loaders, a Backhus
A-60 windrow turner and Doppstadt Star-Screen Trommel plant, and the Hartwell office
structure.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 3000 Public Works Subprogram: 3400 Environmental Services
Element: 3430 Refuse Disposal
Budget Description: This funds the disposal of Lexington's solid waste under an amended
agreement with Wheelabrator Technologies Incorporated waste-to-energy facility in North
Andover. This agreement has been extended for five years through June 30, 2025.
Trash generation is influenced by many variables such as regional economic development and
weather conditions. The Town is committed to continue reducing or neutralizing trash generation
in the future; however, the possibility of additional housing developments and a projected 1.5 to
1 million ton shortfall in disposal capacity will likely impact future trash disposal costs.
The FY2024 tipping fee will be $85.85 per ton which is a $2.70 per ton increase over the FY2023
tip fee. There is also a likelihood of additional residential and other multi-unit developments that
may i m pact cost.
StafF projects the FY2024 refuse tonnage to slightly decrease due to some impact from food
waste collection.
Division Goals:
1. Develop and implement cost effective management plan to divert organics from Lexington's
MSW.
2. Meet future expansion of Mass DEP waste bans on mattresses, carpet and organics
anticipated sometime in 2022.
3. Develop a long term plan to identify waste streams and implement waste reduction and
diversion programs and explore alternative disposal options available in the future.
FY2024 refuse tonnage is projected to be 9,500 tons but could be lower when the pandemic
ends. Tipping tonnage and fee history is as follows:
Fiscal Year Tonnage Per Ton Fee Fiscal Year Tonnage Per ton fee
FY2013 8,107 $70.00 FY2019 8,368 $67.84
FY2014 8,260 $72.00 FY2020 8,387 $69.54
FY2015 8,298 $74.00 FY2021 9,083 $78.00

Program Name: Equipment Replacement Date: 9/23/20
Program ID: 5016 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10/7/22
Submitted by: Marc Valenti Phone: 781-274-8350 Email: mvalenti@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 -The request is for$2,180,000. This is an annual program to replace equipment that has reached the end of
its useful life. The Department of Public VVorks has an inventory of 146 pieces of major equipment. The vehicles
replaced in this program include pick-ups, dump trucks, construction vehicles and specialized equipment including
pumps,rollers, sprayers and motivers. Each piece of equipment is inventoried with original and current replacement
cost, state of condition, and replacement time interval. Replacement intervals vary from 5 to 20 years, and based on
manufacturer recommendations and use(type and duration). The selection of vehicles to be replaced begins with
the proposed replacement date. Each vehicle is assessed based on its mechanical condition and Work requirements.
The replacement program defines what equipment is expected to need replacement during the next five years,with
the intent of preventing any unexpected emergency purchases. Annual updates are conducted by the Division
Superintendents, Manager of Operations and Director of Public Works.

Total $2,180,000 $ $ $2,180,000
Goals of Capital Program:
The operations of a public works department rely heavily on regular and specialized vehicles to mow parks,plow
snow,repair streets and complete a variety of other proj ects. Without regular equipment replacement,the DPW's
operations could be severely hindered by broken down and potentially unsafe vehicles.
Impact if Not Maintained:
If the necessary equipment is not replaced,proj ects could be delayed due to equipment down time. Furthermore,
the mechanics'time is better spent on tasks other than fixing equipment that is beyond its useful life.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
This is an ongoing program; 5 year look ahead schedule provides realistic spending.
Work Currently Underway:
This is an ongoing program; 5 year look ahead schedule provides current and future equipment purchases.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
This is an ongoing program; 5 year look ahead schedule provides current and future equipment purchases.
Basis for Cost Projections:
DPW-Page 5 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
Current estimates from vendors. The Elgin Broom and Rubbish Packer in the table above are both priced as electric/
hybrid models. A gas powered Elgin Broom would be approximately$300K, and a gas powered Rubbish Packer
would be approximately$255K.
Stakeholders: DPW Staff, Lexington Residents
Operating Budget Impact:
This program impacts the operating budget by saving staff time and money. DPW employees spend less time
repairing old and aging pieces of equipment and buying parts to fix equipment that is beyond its useful life. The
electric charging infrastructure for the listed equipment is not included in the above cost and may be an additional
expense.

Program Name: Sidewalk Improvements Date: 09/17/2020
Program ID: 5018 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10/5/2022
Submitted by: John Zaccardi Phone: 781-274-8357 Email: jzaccardi@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 - $800,000- This request is to rebuild and/or repair existing sidewalks throughout town that are in poor
condition. DPW, in conjunction with various committees and other town departments will generate a list each year
of the sidewalks most in need of repair/replacement.
There are four determining factors that dictate the repair of a sidewalk:
1. Is the sidewalk unsafe for travel due to trip hazards, defects, etc.?
2. Is the sidewalk within the Safe Routes to School Program`?
3. Is the volume of pedestrian traffic heavy, light or average?
4. Is the general condition of the sidewalk poor, fair or good which dictates treatments such as full
reconstruction, overlay or patching?
All work will be ADA compliant. DPW currently reviews 30% of sidewalks annually to identify the work to be
done. The current sideWalk condition index(SCI) is being developed.
Below is a list of sidewalks that will be considered in the FY24 construction season.
Mass Ave westbound from Pleasant St. to Bowker St. 2865 LF Asphalt
Waltham St. from Forest St. to High School entrance 1567 LF Asphalt
Coolidge Ave. 1530 LF Asphalt
Shirley St. from Bedford St. to Sargent St. 330 LF Asphalt
Paul Revere Rd. from Mass. Ave. to Harbell St. 1380 LF Asphalt
Hancock St. from Adams St. to Harrington Rd. 2140 LF Asphalt
Lowell St. from Waltham St. to Fulton Rd. (east side) 1900 LF Asphalt
Bow St. 500 LF Asphalt
Reconstruction of Ramps, Townwide
Goals of Capital Program:
Improvements to existing sideWalks will support and enhance pedestrian safety and the Safe Routes to School
Program, and will lower the liability for injuries to pedestrians. This also includes making handicapped ramps ADA
compliant.
Impact if Not Maintained:
Current sidewalks in Town have and will deteriorate or fail if not given the proper funding for repair.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
$600,000 in FY2016, and$800,000 per year from FY2017 through FY2023
Work Recently Completed:
• Heritage Dr.
• Partridge Rd.
• Gould Rd. from Dewey to Turning Mill Rd.
• Village Circle
• Sanderson Rd.
• Bryant Rd.
DPW-Page 7
• Orchard Lane
• Demar Rd. from Turning Mill to#26
• Dewey Rd. from Grove St. to Gould Rd.
• Royal Circle
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
$800,000 per year
Basis for Cost Projections:
The costs are based on detailed engineering estimates from BETA Engineering Group Sidewall�Inventory&
Assessment from August 2020.
Stakeholders: Lexington residents
Operating Budget Impact:
This program impacts the operating budget by saving staff time and money. DPW employees would spend less
time repairing old and aging sidewalks. It would also improve the DPW's ability to clear snow from sidewalks
during the winter season, minimizing damage to equipment and abutting property. Overall, sidewalk Snow
Removal damage claims should be reduced.

Program Name: Townwide Signalization Improvements Date: 9-21-20
Program ID: 5019 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-11-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 -No Funding requested. This is an annual request for funds to update traf�c and pedestrian signals in
Lexington. A signal inventory and compliance study had been completed in 2011,with an update planned for
FY25. The study includes ADA compliance, condition assessment, signal timing, delays, and prioritization
recommendations. In addition to updating traffic and pedestrian signals, this request also periodically updates the
compliance study,which is the funding request anticipated in FY2025.
Existing funding is anticipated to be used for the improvements at either the intersection of Lowell at East Street
and Lowell at North Street. Design is in progress and construction is anticipated in construction calendar year 2023.
Goals of Capital Program:
There are numerous signalized intersections throughout town and many of them are older with outdated and
sometimes failing equipment, limited ADA accessibility and substandard accommodations, and signals that are not
energy efficient. The improvements of these will prevent equipment failure, improve traf�c flow, decrease energy
consumption, and al1oW for proper accessibility.
Impact if Not Maintained:
The aging infrastructure will fail at an increasing rate and proper access will not be available to all users. In
addition, Opticom will not be available at all locations for fire services, current standards will not be met, and
unnecessary energy consumption will continue.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
The design of the Mass Ave./Worthen Road has been completed and construction is expected to be completed in the
fall of 2022.
Work Currently Underway:
The intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and`1Vorthen Road is currently under construction and construction is
anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2022. This work provides through and turning lanes,protected left-turns,
Opticom, intelligent signals and fully ADA compliant crossings.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
Future spending is anticipated at the Lowell Street intersections with North Street and with East Street.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost proj ections are based on the inventory performed by a consultant engineer as well as recent work performed at
signalized intersections throughout Lexington.
Stakeholders: All travelling public in Lexington including,pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Operating Budget Impact:
Reduce the emergency calls for failed signal equipment.

Program ID: 5022 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-11-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 - $3,678,740 -This is an annual request for the street improvement program. It is comprised of$2,688,312
of Town funds and$990,428 of Chapter 90 funds. (Chapter 90 funding is based on Lexington's most recent
allocation and on the current state allocation of$200 million stateWide). Funds will be used for design, inspections,
planning,repair,patching, crack sealing and construction of roadways and roadway related infrastructure including
repair and installation of sidewalks. A preliminary list of the streets to be repaired under this article is currently
under development. Possible candidates for construction in 2023 include Pleasant Street, Allen Street, Dunham
Street and Utica Street. A pavement management system is utilized to assist in analyzing the road network and
selecting roadways for repairs. This model is kept updated on a regular basis and the overall goal has been to get
the town Roadway Surface Rating(RSR) into the mid-80s. Current conditions have our RSR in the upper-80s and
trending upward. The success of our pavement preservation treatments is helping to stretch the current expenditures
further than traditional methods. These alternative pavement preservation treatments include double micro
surfacing, fog seal, cape seal, and cold-in-place recycling. In 2020,we Were aWarded the James B. Sorenson aWard
for excellence in Pavement Preservation Which is awarded to one entity nationWide each year.
Goals of Capital Program:
This funding will allow for the proper improvements and repair of Lexington's streets and sidewalks, increasing
their quality and safety, and maintaining and/or improving overall RSR.
Impact if Not Maintained:
Lexington streets will deteriorate, increasing the possibility of safety issues and poor rideability.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
A map of the work over the past 5 years will be attached.
Work Currently Underway:
A map of this year's road work will be attached.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
We will continue to follow our pavement management roadway selection approach which includes the preservation
of roadway that are higher on the deterioration curve and rehabilitation of roadWays low on the curve as well as all
of those in between. This methodology has been very successful in improving our network RSR and has been
nationally recognized this year with the honor of the prestigious James B. Sorenson award that is awarded annually
to one agency in the nation.
Basis for Cost Projections:
These costs are based on recent bids in Lexington that include contract #20-01 and#21-40.
Stakeholders: Lexington residents, anyone who travels Lexington streets.
Operating Budget Impact: Administrative oversight.
Funding Source: Tax levy, State Aid

Program ID: 5014 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 9-27-2022
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 - $390,000. We have completed our townwide culvert asset management plan and for now we will
continue with a consistent annual request. This may ramp up as we work our way through the plan. This plan
identifies the location, condition and criticality of all of the town owned culverts. The replacement program is a
companion effort with the ongoing Watershed Management Plan; however, the Culvert Asset Management plan will
be the leading document guiding the budgeting and replacement of culverts in town. The backup provided is from
the watershed plans and is an overview of the future projects. Additional backup from the Culvert Asset
Management plan will be provided once available. Please note that there is some overlap with proj ect ID 5021
(Comprehensive Stormwater Management) as some of these proj ects include culvert work as well as stream
management work.
Goals of Capital Program:
Proactive replacement of townWide culverts prior to catastrophic failure will alloW for proper design considerations
and funding and will also minimize the impact to residents through unexpected road closures and possible flooding.
Impact if Not Maintained:
If this work is not completed the deterioration of the pipes will continue and eventually result in large scale failure.
This may result in closure of the roadway and flooding.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
Replacement of a culvert on Concord Ave at Hardy's Pond Brook. Design work including hydraulic analysis has
been performed for the Oxbow/Constitution Road area and phase 1 construction has been completed. In addition,
phase 1 design work for the Valleyfield Street area has been completed.
Work Currently Underway:
The Valleyfield/Waltham Street work is under construction with completion anticipated in the 2023 construction
season. The townwide Culvert asset management plan(CMP) is complete and priority proj ects have been
determined.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
Culvert replacements/lining throughout town as prioritized in the CMP which include Grove Street, Allen Street and
Winthrop Road as high priority candidates.
Basis for Cost Projections:
The costs are based on detailed engineering estimates of projects of similar type and scale and recent bids for
Constitution Road/Oxbow Phase 1 and Valleyfield/Waltham Phase 1.
Stakeholders: Lexington roadway users as well as abutters that are regularly flooded.
Operating Budget Impact:
Administrative oversight and maintenance.

Program Name: Storm Drainage Improvements and NPDES Compliance Date: 9-23-20
Program ID: 5020 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-11-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 - $570,000- This is an annual request. $300,000 is estimated for the compliance with the construction
related portions of the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System(NPDES)minimum control measures
as mandated by EPA in the storm water general permit. The EPA NPDES permit requires the town to comply with
additional requirements,which include illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE),best management
practices (BMP), installation and retrofits, and phosphorus control. An estimated $270,000 will be used to repair/
replace drainage structures encountered during the road resurfacing program,repair other drainage areas of concern
in town and improve StormWater issues discovered during the NPDES investigation work. This request will also
provide funds to restore the function of select town drainage systems. Much of the town has been developed and old
systems are inadequate. There are many trouble spots and areas of drainage concern throughout town. Illicit
Discharge detection has been ongoing townwide, and illicit discharges continue to be found and removed from the
system, with the current total removals at 13. The intern program that includes significant work with the University
of Massachusetts at Lowell has provided great value to the toWn in searching for outfalls and illicit discharges.
Future year adjustments to the funding requests are possible as we navigate through the permit years and develop a
better understanding of the level of effort and cost to comply.
Goals of Capital Program:
These funds will be used to replace and supplement existing drainage structures. History has shown that most
roadway related construction activity undertaken uncovers drainage structures that are in need of repair. There have
also been several flooding situations that have been exacerbated through high-intensity storm events. Additionally,
the funds will be used for continued compliance with the EPA phase II regulations. Moreover, this Will have the
bene�t of improving the Water quality in Lexington's streams and ponds as well as the proper control of Stormwater.
Impact if Not Maintained:
Drainage structures will continue to deteriorate. System failures will cause street flooding and property damage.
Failure to comply with the phase II requirements may result in fines and limit our ability to improve water quality in
our brooks and streams.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
Areas where work has been completed over the last several years include Barberry Road,Worthen Road East,John
Poulter Road,Munroe Road, Paul Revere Road, Diana Lane, Grant Street at York, Tyler Road, Oak Street, Oakland
Street neighborhood,Massachusetts Avenue, and Battle Green Road. In addition to miscellaneous improvements
throughout the paving program and continued IDDE throughout town. Approximately 26 Phosphorus removal
BMPs have been designed in-house and installed throughout town with most of them paid for through a Coastal
Zone Management Grant.
Work Currently Underway:
We continue to look for opportunities to design and install BMP's throughout town for Phosphorus removal.
Additionally, drainage improvements remain active in advance of all paving Work.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
Future spending will include drainage improvements within the town paving program as well as improvements in
other areas in town. Work on the IDDE program will continue and removals of illicit discharges will be made as
they are found. BMP installation and retrofits will continue throughout the town.
DPW-Page 15 Printed Novembe�29, 2022
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost are based on similar contracted work that the Engineering Division has performed over the last several years.
Stakeholders: Lexington Residents.
Operating Budget Impact:
Preemptive repair of existing drainage structures will reduce damage to the structures themselves,to existing
pavement and to public and private property. It will also reduce the manpower time and materials needed by DPW
to respond to emergency needs and complaints.

Program Name: Comprehensive Watershed Stormwater Management Date: 9-23-20
Program ID: 5021 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 9-27-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Capital Program:
FY2024 - $390,000. This is an annual request. DPW, Engineering and Conservation continue to collaborate on
addressing drainage/brook management issues. The Charles River, Shawsheen River, and Mystic River watershed
management plans have all been completed. This request is for the continuing design/implementation of the
watershed plans and for the construction of priorities established in the watershed plans. Staff have reviewed the
three watershed plans and developed a likely prioritization schedule with built-in flexibility pending unforeseen
changes. The requested funding will be used to move forward with the determined prioritized areas. Please note that
there is some overlap with proj ect ID 5014 (Townwide Culvert Replacement) as some of these proj ects include
culvert work as well as stream management work.
Goals of Capital Program:
Sediment has built up in the brooks and wetlands and in turn has caused a reduction in the volume of water that can
be handled by our drainage system. In some cases the drain system outlets into the brooks have been completely
filled with sediment. Additionally,there are streams and brooks in need of restoration, and undersized drainage
systems and piped brooks that need attention and may be best served by day lighting or upsizing. Long-term
bene�ts include the reduction/prevention of damage to property and reduction in liability and overall improvement
to the health of our waterways.
Impact if Not Maintained:
The risk of flooding due to poor drainage will increase and cause private property damage,town infrastructure
damage, and street flooding.
Maj or Spending over Past 5 Years:
Pleasant Street drainage and Whipple Hill daylighting are significant proj ects that have been completed over the last
5 years. Additionally, Oxbow/Constitution Road phase 1 proj ect has been completed and phase 2 is designed and
being prepared to bid. The Valleyfield/Waltham Street Area phase 1 design has been completed and the proj ect has
been bid.
Work Currently Underway:
Valleyfield/Waltham Street phase 1 is under construction and is anticipated to be complete in the 2023 construction
season.
Planned Spending for Next 5 Years:
Significant improvements to be made in the Valleyfield area as well as the Constitution/Oxbow Road area. The
intent is to bid phase 2 for the Constitution/Oxbow area and upon completion of phase 1 in the Valleyfield area we
intend to design the phase 2 improvements.
Basis for Cost Projections:
The costs are based on detailed engineering estimates based on projects of similar type and scale.
Stakeholders: Lexington residents and Town infrastructure,the environment and public health.
Operating Budget Impact:
This program will impact the operating budget by addressing flooding issues in a more complete process and save
time and future expenses.

Description of Project:
FY2024 -No funding request. The FY2026 funding request is for$220,000 for the installation of a materials
measuring system capable of calculating material coming in and out of the compost site.
Justification/Benefit:
The site is undergoing a revietiv of operations and an analysis of the compost fund. Once these reviews are
completed, staff would like to move forward with the installation of a materials measuring system. This will help
staff to more accurately account for materials that go in and out of the facility and to provide opportunities to
capture additional revenue.
Impact if Not Completed:
Continued lost opportunity for revenue and less accurate materials tracking.
Timeframe: FY2026 construction season.
Replacement Frequency: 10- 15 years.
Basis for Cost Projections: Based on similar projects in other communities.
Stakeholders: Residents, commercial vendors, all Town Departments.

Proj ect Name: Municipal Parking Lot Improvements Date: 9-17-21
Proj ect ID: DPW-24-2 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-11-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma,gov
Description of Project:
FY2024 - $575,000. The FY24 funding request is for the construction of the parking lot that extends from Fletcher
Avenue on the most easterly side to the limits of the Town Office Building parcel on the most westerly side. The
construction/reconstruction funding request is in FY24. It includes reconstruction of the existing asphalt parking
areas as well as new construction and reconfiguration of parking in the area nearest the Hosmer House and Police
Station. This will provide for improved flow through the parking area as well as the potential for additional parking
spaces pending the impacts of the Police Station construction and Hosmer house relocation. After discussions with
the Department of Public Facilities, it seems logical to have the design and construction of the parking lot coincide
with the contract for the Police Station since that construction will significantly impact the existing parking lot.
Justification/Benefit:
Much of the parking lot is in disrepair and overdue for resurfacing/reconstruction. Additionally,with the relocation
of the Hosmer House there is the potential for additional parking with a net increase in green space.
Impact if Not Completed:
Parking availability for the government parking will remain limited and in disrepair.
Timeframe:
2024-2025
Replacement Frequency:
This is an asset that falls under the town's asset management program. Once complete, and with proper preservation
the life can extend 20 to 30 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Estimates are based on similar work performed under recent street improvement contracts. The funding requested is
currently just a placeholder. This will be better defined as scope is defined.
Stakeholders:
Employees,residents, and other customers to the municipal buildings.
Operating Budget Impact:
None.
Funding Source: Cash Capital,Bonding
Prior Authorizations:

Description of Project:
FY2024 - $132,000. This fiscal year funding request is for the 100% design and�nal P,S&E(plans, specifications
and estimates) development of two Public Parking lots located in downtown Lexington. Previous funding fell short
of our estimated costs for the design of two of the four parking lots. As a result,we have determined it is best to use
the current available funding to develop concept and 25% design plans for the Muzzey Street and Library lots.
These plans tivill also help to understand and refine the overall proj ects costs. The requests for the other two parking
lot designs are on hold as We await a forthcoming affordable housing proposal that may be impact the designs.
These public parking lots include the Depot lot and the lot between Edison Way and the Depot(CVS lot). The
listed lots are currently in fair to poor condition with inefficient circulation and parking lot layout. Funding allows
for the redesign of these lots including improved efficiency, circulation and aesthetics. In addition, it includes
reconstruction and reconfiguration of existing asphalt parking lots as well as curbing landscaping, line striping, and
other related items.
Justification/Benefit:
Much of these parking lots are in disrepair and overdue for reconstruction and recon�guring.
Impact if Not Completed:
Public parking in downtown will remain in disrepair.
Timeframe: 2024-2028
Replacement Frequency:This is an asset that falls under the totivns asset management program. Once complete,
with proper preservation the life can extend 20 to 30 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
Cost proj ections are based on survey and design work that the town has performed for similar size areas as well as
discussions with the design services team.
Stakeholders: Residents,tourists and other customers to the downtown area.
Operating Budget Impact: None.

Proj ect Name: New Sidewalk Installations Date: 9-21-20
Project ID: DPW-24-4 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-3-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
FY2024 - $1,620,000. This request is for funding to survey, design and install sidewalks in various locations
throughout town. New sidewalk requests are submitted through the Transportation Safety Group (TSG)through
resident petitions. Those requests are evaluated and prioritized by TSG and forwarded to Engineering for design and
construction. TSG is working through the development of a sideWalk master plan. The request covers numerous
sidewalks over multiple years that are entered in this one capital request. The proposed sidewalks are Cedar Street
(including a roundabout at Paul Revere and Hill Street) in its entirety(FY2024) and North Street/Burlington Street
from Grove Street to Adams Street(FY2027).
Justification/Benefit:
Installation of a sidewalk would improve accessibility for residents that live on and around these roadways.
Separating pedestrians from vehicles improves the overall safety for all users. Currently these roadways do not
have sidewalks in these locations and are fairly narrow,making it difficult to walk along the roadway edge
comfortably. Moreover, these installations improve connectivity to existing sideWalk networks in the area.
Impact if Not Completed:
Maintaining existing conditions may deter residents from using the roadways for pedestrian use. Installing the
sidewalk would support the Town's efforts towards creating complete streets,which creates opportunities for
alternative transportation modes that are safe and accessible for all users.
Timeframe: 2024-2028
Replacement Frequency: 25 years.
Basis for Cost Projections:
The cost estimates are based on the cost of installing sidewalks that are similar in magnitude and dif�culty which
include locations such as Concord Avenue, Hill Street and Lincoln Street. Pricing for both design and construction
has shown a steep rise over the last few years and those adjustments are reflected in the request.
Stakeholders:
Residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. Increasing sideWalk installation and connectivity also allows for more
people to Walk to destinations,which may also result in a reduction in vehicular use throughout town.
Operating Budget Impact:
Adding these facilities will result in an impact to the operating budget as snow removal and long-term upkeep will
be needed.

Proj ect Name: Bedford St. and Hartwell Ave. Long-Range Transportation Improvements Date: 9-21-20
Proj ect ID: DPW-24-5 Department: Department of Public Works Revised: 10-11-22
Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
FY2024 -$1,750,000 . This request provides an iterative funding step toward the final P,S&E (Plans, Specifications
&Estimates) set. A similar request is in a subsequent fiscal year. The previous request of$1.5 million provided
funds for the 25% design related to a future capital project for improvements to Route 4/225 (Bedford Street/
Hartwell Avenue), including the "jug-handle" intersection; the 25% design is critical to keeping Lexington's place
for this proj ect on the state's Long Range Transportation Plan(LRTP). The limits of Work along Bedford Street are
approximately from the Route 95 bridge to the Bedford ToWn Line, along HartWell from Bedford Street to the end
(exception of improvements in progress currently), and miscellaneous improvements along Wood Street. Focus is
on improving safety, accessibility for all users (all modes of transportation), and improving the overall flow of the
corridor. The intent is to get state funding for the construction through the LRTP which is a competitive process.
Justification/Benefit:
The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO) "Destination 2040",the Long-Range Transportation
Plan" (LRTP) includes the Route 4/225 (Bedford Street) and Hartwell Avenue(Lexington)Maj or Infrastructure
Proj ect as a recommended proj ect for the Federal Fiscal Year(FFY)2030-2034 time band and it carries an
estimated cost of approximately$48,000,000, subject to change based on design. Since the Bedford Street/HartWell
Proj ect won't be at a 25%design stage by next winter, it will miss the approved FFY2021-2025 time band for MPO
Transportation Improvement Program(TIP) funding. The new 2025-2029 time band is fiscally constrained, and
there will be competition from more proj ects than can be funded. The Boston MPO members will be looking to see
if the Town intends to move this proj ect forward before voting to move it into the new LRTP.
Massachusetts Department of Transportation(MassDOT) staff provided feedback to Lexington staff in 2019,
indicating a design approach that they Would be open to considering. This is an important and a positive step, since
prior town design approaches had met with disfavor by MassDOT.
Impact if Not Completed:
Without design commitment,the State will not keep this proj ect on the Long Range transportation Plan; therefore,
Lexington would forfeit the possibility of Federal funding of a maj or share of the construction costs. Both the
Hartwell Avenue re-zoning initiative and the $50,000 2018 Town Meeting authorization to update the
Transportation Management Overlay District(TMOD)Plan underscore the need for pursuing the 25%design to
stay on the path for Federal construction funds. The possibility for creating pedestrian and bicycle connections, and
the possibility of future zoning bode well for ranking highly With the MPO to advance in the state TIP planning
process. These improvements are also important for the safety of emergency egress from Hanscom AFB and
Lincoln Labs. The Bedford Street/Hartwell Ave. Project scored highly for the current LRTP,tied for second with
two other proj ects out of 3 9 proj ects.
Timeframe: FY2030-2034,with the possibility of moving to 2024-2029.
Replacement Frequency:
This is an asset that falls under the town's asset management program and the assets within that corridor have
various replacement frequencies and will be managed to extend the useful life to the degree practicable.
Basis for Cost Projections: The 25%design costs were based on detailed discussion with design consultants that
are familiar with MassDOT LRTP projects. The future cost are placeholder approximations that will be adjusted as
design progresses and more detail is available.

Submitted by: John Livsey Phone: 781-274-8305 Email: jlivsey@lexingtonma.gov
Description of Project:
FY2024 - No requests have been submitted at this time for betterments. There have been discussions for the
unaccepted portion of Tucker Ave,but no petitions have been submitted
Justification/Benefit:
The length of the town roadways is part of a formula used by the state to determine total Chapter 90 allotments and
the addition of new roads to the mileage will result in a small increase to the yearly funding received. Additionally,
an improved roadway Will be provided to the abutting residents and improve the ability for the town to provide
emergency services and snow removal.
Impact if Not Completed:
The town does minor maintenance to ensure the properties are accessible by emergency vehicles and plowing
equipment. The time and cost for maintenance of these road Will be effectively eliminated for approximately 4-5
years and greatly reduced thereafter.
Timeframe:
TBD.
Replacement Frequency:
This is an asset that would fall under the town's asset management program. Once complete,with proper
preservation the life can extend 20 to 30 years or more.
Basis for Cost Projections: No cost
Stakeholders: Town residents, abutters, and public service providers.
Operating Budget Impact: These roadways will become part of the town network for maintenance.

Description of Project:
FY2024 -No funding request. The FY2025 funding request is for$30,000 to be used for design, and in FY2026 the
funding request is $420,000 to be used for construction of the columbarium(a structure with niches to store funeral
urns with cremated remains) at Westview Cemetery.
Justification/Benefit:
Due to the rising number of cremations, an option for interring urns has been requested. Currently urns are interred
in traditional burial plots. Construction of a columbarium will provide an option for urns while freeing up traditional
burial plots for regular body burials. This will provide a more efficient use of space and meet the needs of those
choosing cremation.
Impact if Not Completed:
If not constructed then urns will be buried in regular plots according to the existing rules at WestvieW Cemetery.
Timeframe: Construct in Spring 2026.
Replacement Frequency:
None.
Basis for Cost Projections: Cost estimate obtained from research by the Ad-Hoc Crematory Study Committee.
Stakeholders: Lexington residents.
Operating Budget Impact: Minor impact.
Funding Source: Cash Capital,Bonding
Prior Authorizations: None.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 3000 Public Works Subprogram: 3600 Water Enterprise
Mission: The Water/Sewer Division strives to enhance the quality of life in Lexington by
providing quality drinking water, by ensuring the proper and safe discharge of our wastewater
and by maintaining our commitment to improving the infrastructure.
Budget Overview: The FY2024 budget request for the Water Enterprise Fund is $13,835,980.
This is an increase of$1,128,743 or 8.88% more than FY2023. Compensation is increasing
$10,969 or 1.25% from FY2023, due to contractually obligated increases. The expense request
of$577,500 is $44,000 or 8.25% more than FY2023.
Cash capital was added to the operating budget, beginning in FY2021, and is scheduled to
increase by $200,000 per year for a minimum of 10 years. This will result in reduced debt
service costs over time, providing a better value to rate payers.
A preliminary FY2024 MWRA assessment will be issued in February by the MWRA Board of
Directors to be followed by the final assessment in June 2023. For now, an increase of 10% has
been projected. Indirect payments to the General Fund are preliminarily, shown with a 2.50%
increase, with final numbers pending the completion of an Indirect Cost Study by the Finance
Department. OPEB and Debt service numbers are preliminary as well.
The Water Division maintains and repairs the water system which delivers water to Lexington
homes and businesses. The system has been operated as an enterprise fund since 1988, which
means that fees charged to customers are calculated to cover all operating and capital
expenses. These expenses include the purchase of the water from the Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority (MWRA) and the operating expenses of the Water Division.
The Water Division has a three-block inclining rate structure to encourage water conservation.
As a customer uses more water, the water rate increases. Customers are billed twice per year
based on water consumption from which a sewer charge is determined.
Division Goals:
1. Continue with the Hydrant Maintenance Program.
2. Continue working with the vendor implementing the Automatic Meter Reading System
(AM R).
3. Implement a valve/hydrant maintenance and/or backflow/cross connection program.
4. Continue to evaluate water usage, to move towards conservation efforts.

Departmental Budget Requests
Program: 3000 Public Works Subprogram: 3700 Sewer Enterprise
Mission: The Water/Sewer Division strives to enhance the quality of life in Lexington by
providing quality drinking water, by ensuring the proper and safe discharge of our wastewater
and by maintaining our commitment to improving the infrastructure.
Budget Overview: The FY2024 budget request for the Sewer Enterprise Fund is $12,797,627.
This is an overall increase of$998,969 or 8.47% more than FY2023. Compensation is
increasing $16,452 or 4.11% from FY2023, due to contractually obligated increases. Expenses
are increasing by $59,000 or 12.87% from FY2023.
Cash capital was added to the operating budget, beginning in FY2021, and is scheduled to
increase by $100,000 per year for a minimum of 10 years. This will result in reduced debt
service costs over time, providing a better value to rate payers.
A preliminary FY2024 MWRA assessment will be issued in February by the MWRA Board of
Directors to be followed by final assessment in June 2023. Indirect payments to the General
Fund are preliminarily shown as increasing by $13,560 or 2.50%, with final numbers pending the
completion of an Indirect Cost Study by the Finance Department. OPEB and debt service
numbers are also preliminary.
The Sewer Division maintains the entire sewer system, which serves 99% of Town residences,
and ensures the safe and proper discharge of the Town's wastewater. This system has operated
as an enterprise fund since 1988, which means that sewer rates charged to customers are
calculated to cover all operating, capital and indirect expenses of the Sewer Division. Customer
sewer utilization is determined based on water usage over the same period.
Division Goals:
1. Continue the pipe flushing program and root removal in all areas.
2. Work with the Water Enterprise Division on the ongoing Automatic Meter Reading System
project. (AM R).
3. Continue to educate the public on the costs and problems created by Inflow & Infiltration.

Mission: The Select Board is a representative policy making body. It is the mission of the
Board to work together in a collegial way that is respectful of the full range of views, not only of
the Board itself, but the entire community. The Board is committed to ensuring that all of those
views are fairly heard, presented in a way that is open and honest and in a way that brings
together a wider group of people to move forward together for the good of the community.
Budget Overview: The Select Board's operating budget, inclusive of the Select Board's Office,
the Legal budget, Town Report and the PEG Special Revenue Fund, is increasing by $17,613,
or 1.36%. Compensation is increasing $8,386 or 5.78% to capture step increases, and expenses
are decreasing $9,227 or 0.80%, which is due to increases in the Audit and PEG budgets.
The Select Board is the executive policy setting branch of Town government, as established by
the Selectmen-Town ManagerAct. The Board consists of five members, each elected for
staggered three-year terms, who serve without salary or financial compensation. The Select
Board members are responsible for the general direction and management of the property and
affairs of Town government, and appoint the Town Manager who is responsible for the daily
operations of the Town.
An Executive Clerk/Office Manager is appointed each year by the Board to assist the Board and
to perform such duties as the Board may direct. The Executive Clerk/Office Manager is assisted
by one full-time DepartmentAssistant, and a part-time Recording Secretary.

and the Board. The Select Board's OfFice notifies Lexington residents of all elections through the

Purpose/Description of Request:
PEG revenues continue to decline and do not cover all the expenses needed to support local
access cable TV. In FY2024, we would begin supplemental funding so as not to draw down the
PEG Account too rapidly. The Communications Advisory Committee (CAC) will continue to
monitor actual revenue and expenses and update projections and the annual supplemental
funding request as needed.
Service Implication:
Without supplemental funding the Town will have no choice but to draw-down the existing PEG
Account balance, leaving little or no funding for the coming years. In addition, this funding will
guard the account against a sudden precipitous fall-off of revenue that would stem from a
service provider terminating or declining to renew their Cable Television license.

timely and accurate financial information to managers of town services to facilitate the
evaluation of the cost efFectiveness and efficiency of town programs; (4) to provide timely and
accurate financial information to Town boards and committees to facilitate policy deliberation and
formulation; and (5) to safeguard the financial assets of the Town.
Budget Overview: The requested FY2024 Finance Department budget reflects a $74,725 or
3.63% increase from the FY2023 budget. This includes a $81,535 or 5.26% increase in
compensation, which reflects contractually obligated increases. Compensation does not include
any estimate of prospective cost of living increases for contracts expiring on or before June 30,
2023. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the
Town Manager's budget. Finance expenses are mostly level-funded compared to prior year,
though some departmental line items have shifted to align with staff initiatives or actual trends.
The Finance Department is comprised of the following divisions: the Comptroller's Office, the
Treasurer/Collector's Office and the Assessor's Office.
The Comptroller's OfFice is responsible for maintaining the Town's general ledger (accounting),
accounts payable, payroll, and centralized purchasing. The Comptroller's budget is also
inclusive of funding for the Assistant Town Manager for Finance who oversees the financial
operations of the Town, and the Budget Officer, who in concert with the Assistant Town Manager
and the Town Manager develops and monitors the annual capital and operating budgets.
The Treasurer/Collector's Office has three primary responsibilities: the collection and deposit of
all Town taxes, fees and charges including property taxes, motor vehicle excise, utility billing and
other local receipts (permit and license fees, fines, etc.); the management and investment of all
revenues collected; and the issuance and servicing of debt.
The primary function of the Assessor's Office is the development of assessed values used in
determining the amount of property tax levied on real and personal property.

Department Initiatives:
The Department is taking advantage of the new Munis Chart of Accounts that was designed and
implemented in FY2020 to improve departmental and statutory reporting, workflow and internal
controls. In FY2022 the Comptroller's office, with assistance from the IT department, launched
Tyler Content Manager (TCM), the document management and archiving module in Munis. First,
TCM integrated with the Employee Self Service (ESS) module in Munis, and employees now
have access to view and download copies of earnings advice, personal accruals, W-2s and
other tax related forms. TCM has also allowed for a paperless purchasing workflow including
electronic approval and signatures for purchase orders and contract documents. Lastly, TCM
allows for storage and archiving of invoices and other supporting accounts payable documents.
In FY2022 the Comptroller's OfFice completed multiple rounds of reporting and close-out
paperwork for Federal grant funding associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This included
multiple projects with the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES)Act. The Finance department continues to manage the accounting and reporting for
the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
In FY2022 the Treasurer's ofFice opened an online donation portal on the Town's website.
Residents and visitors may use the portal to make a donation to any of the Town's Trusts or
giving campaigns using electronic check or credit card.
In 2022 the Assessor's ofFice partnered with IT and the building department to create automated
notifications on new construction permits and certificates of occupancy. The Assessor's now
receive an automated notification of these events in order to fully capture new growth in a timely
manner. The Assessor's office has also realized prior year goals by implementing electronic
storage of property record cards and resolving outstanding commercial abatements.
Additional Finance department initiatives for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 are outlined below:
1. In Spring of 2023 we expect to complete a full upgrade from the existing desktop client
version of Munis (v11.3 sunsets in Fall of 2023) to the modern cloud-based version
(v.2021).
2. Implement additional functionality in Munis ESS, including supporting the HR department
with automated benefits enrollment and Employee Action Forms to and move the
department closer to paperless processing.
3. Support the Town Manager in accounting and reporting of American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds. The Town of Lexington has been granted $9.9 million to be used for
pandemic relief and economic recovery that will be available for spending until
12/31/2026.
4. Implement electronic Accounts Payable as requested by vendors to decrease the overall
number of printed and mailed checks, and further utilize TCM and miscellaneous
receivables for supplemental tax billing, PILOTS and TDM payments.
5. Finance is recommending implementing a new Munis module for online payments and
electronic cashiering. This initiative will improve the online payment experience for
residents, allow for electronic payments at the counter for the Treasurer and Town Clerk.

Purpose/Description of Request:
Tyler ERP/Cashiering is an advanced point-of-sale cashiering system, allowing for seamless
integration of a variety of billing systems and hardware to provide an optimized collections
experience.
This new module would serve to replace many existing applications/technologies and serve as
one, integrated system.
This solution would incorporate hardware such as cash drawers, credit card readers and a
financial system software module.
Some cost savings would include the reduction of several external applications.
One Time Fees: $96,079
Recurring Fees: $37,239
Service Implication:
Without Tyler ERP/Cashiering, we would continue the use of many applications/technologies
that do not integrate well together. The main benefit here is the elimination of several of these
applications and having an integrated system that talks directly with our Financial System,
MUNIS. Having an integrated system will eliminate some tasks and increase efficiencies in
certain areas.
