In order to provide everyone with a better understanding of the meaning, the following definitions are provided. AVAILABLE FUNDS - "FREE CASH" The amount certified annually by the Bureau of Accounts, Department of Revenue. The certified amount is the Unreserved Fund Balance less all outstanding taxes. This fund may be used by a vote of the town meeting as available funds for appropriation. AVAILABLE FUNDS - OTHER Usually refers to balances in special funds or balances remaining in specific articles for which previous town meetings had approved appropriations. When the project is complete, the balance is available either for re-appropriation or being turned back along with unexpended operating budgets to the town's general fund balance. "CHERRY SHEET' A financial statement from the State, printed on cherry-colored paper, which itemizes state disbursements due the town, and the state and county charges to the town, usually resulting in a net receipt of funds usable by the town for the items specified. It is due from the state in March, and necessary before the assessors can set the tax rate. ENTERPRISE FUND A self-supporting account for a specific service or program that the town operates as a separate "business." Enterprise funds do not depend on taxes for operating revenue. Ideally, overall revenue and expenses should balance over time. OVERLAY The overlay is the amount raised by the Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover abatements granted by the Board of Assessors. RESERVE FUND This appropriation is voted at the annual town meeting in an amount not to exceed 5% of the tax levy of the preceding year. Transfers from the reserve fund are within the exclusive control of the Appropriation Committee and are for "extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures." UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE: This term was previously referred to as Surplus Revenue or Excess and Deficiency. This fund represents the amount by which assets exceed Liabilities and Reserves.

Only articles listed in the Warrant can be discussed. The Warrant includes the Town Manager's Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 1992. The Town Manager submitted the proposed budget for FY92 to the Selectmen for their review on December 24, 1990. Generally, the proposed budget includes funds for the operation and maintenance of municipal government including schools. The Town Manager's proposed budget was developed recognizing severe financial limitations. The Board is deliberating on a number of specific budget issues and will present its budget recommendations during Town Meeting. The Board has targeted a number of areas within the Town Manager's budget for policy deliberations. Specifically, the Board is reviewing the following municipal operating budgets: FY 91 APPROPRIATED FY 92 MGR. RECOMMENDED Municipal Operating Budget Town Payroll $9,420,620 $9,828,364 The FY92 budget for town payroll as submitted by the Town Manager proposes a 4.3% increase. The Public Works contract has been settled for FY92 and the Police and Fire contracts are currently under negotiation. Insurance Expenses 4,011,783 4,620,768 Dramatic increases in health insurance premiums for school and town employees have caused the insurance budget to increase by 15.2% or $608,985. The town pays 75% of the employee health insurance premium. 804 active school and town employees and 593 retirees are insured by the town. 67% or $3,095,915 of the insurance budget directly supports school programs and personnel. The restrictions of Proposition 2 1/2 allow the tax levy to grow by $1,011,105. The insurance budget alone absorbs over 60% of the 2 1/2% allowable increase. Municipal Operating Budget expenses have been reduced by the implementation of several initiatives such as it recycling, leaf separation, water conservation, and new computer software enhancements. These innovative actions have resulted in substantial savings to the Town and have been instrumental in minimizing the growth ` of the FY92 proposed budget. Public Schools 27,377,566 28,206,393 The School Superintendent has submitted a budget that proposes an increase of 3% over FY91. The School Committee is still reviewing the Superintendent's recommendation. The Town Manager's proposed budget ))" provides funds that support the budget submitted to the School Committee. The Board of Selectmen and the School Committee will be meeting to discuss this budget in detail after it is adopted by the School Committee. Enterprise Funds The 1987 Annual Town Meeting voted to accept Section 39k of Chapter 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws allowing the town to establish separate accounts for the water and sewer system. The 1990 Annual Town Meeting again accepted this provision to create a separate enterprise account for all recreation programs. Fiscal Year 1992 will be the first year in which all funds for water, sewer and recreation budgets 3 will be raised on a fee-for-service basis. This-fee-for service concept has successfully funded water and sewer operating and capital requests since FY90. The Recreation enterprise account appears to be successful in that to date fees collected exceed appropriations and participation levels have remained stable. Capital Improvements and Articles Revenue restrictions have caused the Town Manager to recommend a suspension of all capital spending funded by the tax levy. Capital requests for DPW equipment, street resurfacing, brook clearing, police station renovations, telephone recording equipment, and a $2 million school rehabilitaton program have not been recommended for funding. Revenue State funding for local government has become impossible to predict. Municipalities in Massachusetts have been forced to react rather than plan for the future because of unresolved state budget deficits. The State has taken away almost $2 million in aid from Lexington during the past two years. Lexington cannot absorb further reductions in state aid without a significant reduction in services. Revenue projections will always be somewhat difficult as long as the state is unable to resolve its budget problems. Free Cash Lexington has appropriated unusually high amounts of free cash to support operating costs over the last three years. In the past, free cash appropriations have helped offset significant increases in the school, health insurance, and capital improvement projects. Revenue underestimates, investments, and reversions helped to create a healthy balance of free cash which has provided the Town with significant financial flexibility in the past. Unfortunately, free cash balances will be unable to provide the Town with the flexibility it has experienced in the past. The sum of$2.5 million is proposed to be appropriated in the Town Manager's FY92 budget submission. The $407,000 balance left in free cash represents Lexington's only available fiscal response in case of unexpected emergencies. A Table of Contents is provided for easy reference. The articles are grouped by topic and a brief description for each article is provided to make the Warrant useful and understandable. A map shows locations of proposed Public Works and special projects. In addition to the Warrant, the Town Manager's Proposed Budget will be mailed to all Town Meeting Members prior to the start of Town Meeting. The Board of Selectmen is still considering the Town Manager's proposed reductions in Police, Fire and Public Works, General Government, and Library programs. As always, the Board of Selectmen encourages your comments relating to this year's proposed Town Meeting Warrant. BOARD OF SELECTMEN Jacquelyn R. Smith, Chairman Paul W. Marshall John C.

Such land or structures are subject to reasonable regulations concerning the bulk and height of structures, yard sizes, lot area, setbacks, open space, parking, and building coverage requirements as set forth in this By-Law." in subparagraph 4.1.2, under the heading "Y YES: Permitted as of right..." by adding an asterisk after the symbol (SPS), at the end, and by inserting a note at the end of the subparagraph, as follows: "* A religious or non-profit educational use, as described in subparagraph 3.1.4, is permitted as a matter of right in all zoning districts." in TABLE 1, PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, by adding at the end of the description of the permitted use in line 2.42, the following: "(A religious or non-profit educational use, as described in subparagraph 3.1.4, is permit- ted as a matter of right in all zoning districts.)"; In subsection 12.1.2, which deals with the traffic impacts of uses or developments that have 10,000 or more square feet of floor area for which an SPS is required; by adding a sentence at the end, as follows: "The requirement for a special permit with site plan review (SPS) does not apply to a religious or non-profit educational use, as described in subparagraph 3.1.4."; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.

In the case where the Board of Selectmen authorizes the placement of temporary seats on the sidewalk within the public right of way of streets within the CB district in Lexington Center, and such seats could be interpreted to be an increase in the number of seats serving a restaurant or eating establishment, such seats shall not be counted toward the off-street parking or loading requirements as long as they are seasonal and temporary."; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted at the request of the Planning Board) DESCRIPTION: The parking factors in the Zoning By-Law determine the number of off-street parking spaces that must be provided for different types of businesses. The proposed amendments are adjustments to the parking factors voted in 1984 and are based on experience with those types of businesses. In general, the change is to calculate the parking factor on the number of square feet in a business which is not as variable as the number of employees. 26 ARTICLE 32 ZONING BY-LAW, EXEMPTIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL USES To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law: in TABLE 1, PERMI'TT'ED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, Line 3.13, by adding an asterisk after each symbol "SP"; in TABLE 1, PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, Line 3.14. by striking out each symbol "N" and by inserting in place thereof the symbol "SP", and adding an asterisk after each symbol "SP"; in TABLE 1, PERMUTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, subsection 3, entitled AGRICULTURAL, NATURAL RESOURCE USES, by adding at the end of the section the following: "* Y, if the use satisfies all of the requirements for the so-called agricultural exemption in The State Zoning Act, Chapter 40A, Section 3"; in Section 2, Definitions, ROADSIDE STAND, by striking out "not less than half of which (measured by dollar volume of annual sales) have been produced or grown within Lexington on land owned by the owner of the stand"; or act in any other manner in relation to thereto. (Inserted at the request of the Planning Board) DESCRIPTION: In 1990, the State Legislature changed The State Zoning Act, Chapter 40A, §3, which provides an exemption for agricultural uses. The 1990 legislation specifically prohibits requiring a special permit for an agricultural use, a provision that has been in the Lexington Zoning By-Law for many years. The amendment brings the Zoning By-Law into compliance with the changes in The State Zoning Act. ARTICLE 33 ZONING BY-LAW, DAY CARE CENTERS To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law in Section 4, TABLE 1, PERMITTED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, in line 2.12, by deleting the word "non-profit", and by striking out the "SP" for the CN district and each "SP*" for the CRS, CS, CB, CLO, CRO, and CM zoning districts and inserting in place thereof "Y"; and by deleting the words "* as an accessory use to a permitted use only"; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted at the request of the Planning Board) 27 DESCRIPTION: Currently the Zoning By-Law allows non-profit day care centers, but "for profit" day care centers are not allowed anywhere in town. The first part of the amendment would eliminate the distinction between non-profit and for profit. Also, the Zoning By-Law currently allows day care centers in commercial zoning districts only as an "accessory" use to another permitted use even though they are allowed as the sole use of a lot in residential districts. The second part of the amendment would allow day care centers in commercial districts as the "principal" use of a lot. ARTICLE 34 ZONING BY-LAW; PET GROOMING SERVICES To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law of the Town of Lexington in Section 4.2 entitled Permitted Uses and Development Standards, Part B Commercial Uses sub-section 16 entitled Accessory Uses for Commercial Uses by inserting a new line which would allow pet grooming as a use incidental to a pet accessory store in the Central Business District whereby said pet grooming would be conducted entirely within the principal building with no evidence of the existence of the use from the street or any lot line. Said grooming for customers of the store would be by appointment and no pets would be boarded overnight. (Inserted by Deirdre Niemann and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: This article, submitted in behalf of Warm Hearts, Cold Noses, located in Depot Square, would amend the Zoning By-law by allowing pet grooming as a use incidental to a pet accessory store in the Central Business District. ARTICI E 35 ZONING BY-LAW; PRIVATE POSTAL SERVICES To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law of the Town of Lexington by inserting under Section 4.2, Table T, Permitted Uses and Development Standards, Part B Commercial Uses, the following: A new section 7.27, to wit. 7.27 Private Postal Services CN CRS CS CB CLO CRO CM N Y N Y N N N (Inserted by Ella Brehm and nine or more registered voters) 28 DESCRIPTION: The proposed amendment to the Zoning By-Law would allow private mailing services to be conducted in the CB, Central Business and the CRS, Retail Shopping zoning districts. ARTICLE 36 LAND TRANSFER/ BATES ROAD PARCEL To see if the Town will authorize the Selectmen to transfer, for conservation purposes including outdoor recreation as provided by Section 8C of Chapter 40 of the General Laws, as amended, the fee or other interest in all or any part of land shown as Lot 68 on Assessors' Property Map 66 (off Bates Road); or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article authorizes the Conservation Commission to assume stewardship of a 9.3 acre piece of the town-owned Pine Meadows property acquired for "golf course, recreation, conservation, and other municipal purposes" at the 1988 Special Town Meeting. The parcel is located across Route 128 from the Pine Meadows Golf Course and is accessible only from the cul-de-sac at the end of Bates Road. GENERAL ARTICLES ARTICLE 37 MINUTEMAN REGIONAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL/ HOUSE BUILDING To see if the Town will approve the construction of one or two family dwellings, as determined by the Board of Selectmen, for persons of low income by students of Minuteman Regional Vocational School District; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: A recent change in state law now requires Town Meeting authorization for the participation of vocational school students in constructing housing for low- and moderate-income families in Lexington. 29 ARTICLE 38 MUZZEY CONDOMINIUMS RESALE To see if the Town of Lexington will amend the Deed from the Town of Lexington restricting the resale pricing of the Muzzey High Condominiums, 1475 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA. Presently, the cap is set at 4% compounded annually. Due to the poor condition of the building condominium fees have risen 40%, along with a $400,000 assessment, future assessments and sharp increase in condominium association insurance premiums from $1,000.00 deductible to $5,000.00 deductible per claim, we request that the 4% cap be raised to 8% to accommodate the above expenses. The reason for this request is that it is unfair to assess unit owners thousands of dollars when they have to borrow the money for the above stated costs at 13-16% interest rates and can only recoup 4% resale. (Inserted by Jeff Corazzini and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: The Trustees and unit owners request the 4% resale cap be raised to 8% for the following reasons: 1) To allow unit owners to finance repairs that need to be made immediately for safety reasons, and in the future, totaling up to two million dollars. 2) To allow unit owners to qualify for home equity loans. 3) To allow the unit owners to live in a safe and problem free building they can be proud of. 4) To compensate unit owners who pay unexpected large assessments, high condominium fees and are forced to make repairs they feel the Town should have been aware of considering the town's involvement in the planning, development, and sale of affordable housing at Muzzey High Condominiums. ARTICLE 39 ALTERNATIVE STREETLIGHTING To see if the Town will recommend to the Selectmen that they find alternative methods to save funds in streetlighting other than the replacement of current streetlighting with Sodium vapor lights; or take any other action. (Inserted by Jonathan Rawle and nine or more registered voters) 30 DESCRIPTION: The color and type of town-wide lighting affect road safety, real estate values, emergency medical activities, and color perception of foliage and/or surroundings. Although there is a short-term financial benefit in acceding to a suggested switch by Boston Edison to Boston Edison's standard Sodium Vapor bulb, the Town has alternatives it can pursue for long-term savings through insistence on a color-corrected sodium vapor bulb, compact fluorescents and/or owning its own streetlighting system; as is the practice in other towns here in Massachusetts. Town Meeting must decide if the color problems and increased light levels inherent in the Standard Sodium Vapor bulbs have hidden costs and problems that justify using extra Town funds and the resources of the Town Manager's office in the next few months to explore other alternatives which will be discussed at Town Meeting. ARTICLE 40 M.G.L. CHAPTER 148, SECTION 26I/ AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS To see if the Town will vote to accept Section 261 of Chapter 148 of the Massachusetts General Laws, relating to sprinkler systems in multiple dwelling units; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: Acceptance of this statute allows the Town to require the installation of sprinkler systems in all new residential construction of buildings containing four or more dwelling units. Existing buildings are not affected. Sprinkler systems are proven deterrents to fire damage and increase safety of building residents. ARTICLE 41 ENHANCED 911 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM To see if the Town will vote to accept Chapter 291 of the Acts of 1990, relating to enhanced 911 service; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: Acceptance of Chapter 291 of the Acts of 1990 will enable the Town to participate in the Enhanced 911 emergency communications system being made available to municipalities throughout the Commonwealth during the next few years. By meeting a December 31, 1991, deadline for accepting this statute, the Town will receive the networking hardware, software and data base necessary to implement the system free of charge. 31 ARTICLE 42 AMEND GENERAL BY-LAWS/ EXPIRED DOG LICENSE FEE To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 2 of Article XXVIII of the General By- Laws by adding the following paragraph: "All dogs shall be duly licensed as provided in Chapter 140 of the General Laws. An owner or keeper of a dog who fails to renew a dog license within twenty-one days after being notified that a previously issued license has expired shall be assessed a fee of ten dollars in addition to any other charges due for such license." or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This by-law change provides for a late charge for dog license renewals after due notice has been given. ARTICLE 43 M.G.L. CHAPTER 32, §90G/ 3/4 CREDITABLE SERVICE TIME To see if the Town will vote to approve the acceptance by the Lexington Retirement Board of Section 90G 3/4 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws, relating to employment and creditable service time of employees age seventy or over; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: Acceptance of this statute will allow an employee electing to continue employment past age 70 to receive credit for service past age 70 for retirement purposes. Current law does not allow any further accumulation of creditable service past age 70 in computing an employee's pension allowance. ARTICLE 44 M.G.L. CHAPTER 30B, §5/ $10,000 BID LIMIT To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 1 of Article XXII of the General By-Laws by changing "$4,000" to "$10,000" and by adding the following at the beginning thereof: "All contracts entered into by the Town which are subject to federal or state bidding requirements shall be awarded only after there has been full compliance with such requirements. In all other cases, except..." or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) 32 DESCRIPTION: Article XXII of the Town By-Laws regulates the procurement of contracts for labor and materials. The current By-Law states that all proposals for contracts for amounts exceeding $4,000 be solicited or bid from two or more sources. State law has recently raised the minimum bid amount to $10,000, subject to local approval. Lexington procurement regulations will continue to require a minimum of 3 competitive prices for any amount over $500. Passage of this article will eliminate the need for costly advertising and solicitation specifications when telephone quotes and negotiations will suffice. ARTICLE 45 TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS To see if the Town will vote to transfer the Charles Lyman Weld Fund to the Lexington Educational Foundation; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Trustees of Public Trusts) DESCRIPTION: The Charles Lyman Weld Fund was given to the Town for educational purposes or Chapel at Westview Cemetery. The Trustees of Public Trusts believe that a transfer of the fund to the Lexington Educational Foundation will make it possible to use the funds as the Donor intended for innovative programs that will be reviewed and supported by the Trustees of the Lexington Educational Foundation. ARTICLE 46 AMEND CHAV1 ER 215, §8, ACTS OF 1929 AS AMENDED/ REPRESENTATIVE TOWN MEETING To see if the Town will vote to petition the General Court for an act to amend Section 8 of Chapter 215 of the Acts of 1929 as amended (Lexington Representative Town Meeting Act) to change the requirement that a special town meeting be held within fourteen days of the call to a requirement that a special town meeting be held within thirty-five days of the call; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: The Lexington Representative Town Meeting Act (LRTMA) (Chapter 215 of the Acts of 1929 as amended) is not in compliance with current state election regulations. This article is a housekeeping measure to change Section 8 of the LRTMA. It changes the requirement for holding a Special Town Election to overturn certain votes of Town Meeting from 14 to 35 days from the call for such a Meeting. Logistical and voter registration requirements virtually prohibit the scheduling of such Special Town Meetings sooner than 35 days from the date called. 33 ARTICLE 47 USE OF FUNDS TO REDUCE TAX RAM: To see if the Town will appropriate a sum of money from available funds toward the reduction of the tax rate for the fiscal year; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) FUNDS REQUESTED: Undetermined at press time DESCRIPTION: This article requests the use of available funds--"free cash"--to reduce the tax rate. Subject to certain adjustments, "free cash" is surplus revenue less uncollected overdue real estate and personal property taxes from prior years. And you are directed to serve this warrant seven days at least before the time of said meeting as provided in the By-Laws of the Town. Hereof fail not, and make due return on this warrant, with your doings thereon, to the Town Clerk, on or before the time of said meeting. Given under our hands at Lexington this eleventh day of February, A.D., 1991. JACQUELYN R. SMITH, Chairman PAUL W. MARSHALL Board JOHN C. EDDISON of WILLIAM J. DAILEY, JR. Selectmen LEO P.
