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 to balances remaining in specific articles previously appropriated. These balances become available for re-appropriation by Town Meeting (or are returned to the town's general fund balance). "CHERRY SHEET" A financial statement issued by the State on cherry-colored paper that itemizes state aid due to the town, and charges payable by the town to the state and county. The assessors need the Cherry Sheet to set a 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. For example, water operations are funded through the water enterprise fund, which receives funds from a consumption based fee system. Ideally, enterprise resources and expenditures should balance over time. Funds in enterprise accounts do not revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. 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 approved by the Appropriation Committee and may only be used for "extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures."

Only articles listed in the Warrant can be discussed. The Warrant includes the Town Manager's Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 1995. The Town Manager submitted the proposed budget for FY 95 to the Selectmen for their review on December 29, 1993. Generally, the proposed budget includes funds for the operation and maintenance of municipal government including schools. The Town Manager's proposed budget raises several issues for the community. The Board is deliberating on a number of budget issues and will present specific budget recommendations during Town Meeting. The Board has targeted a number of areas within the Town Manager's budget for policy deliberations. The Board is reviewing the following municipal budget recommendations: FY 94 Appropriated FY 95 Proposed Town Payroll $11,352,066 $11,814,744 The FY 95 budget for town payroll as submitted by the Town Manager proposes a 2% cost of living increase. The Board of Selectmen is exploring the possibility of a "one year-one time" wage freeze for all municipal and school employees. Insurance The Town Manager is negotiating with the leadership of all the employee groups, union and non-union, school and town in hopes of developing a health benefit package that is attractive to our employees but is more cost effective than the current plan. The employees must agree to any changes in the health care plans if the town is to avoid a continuation of large budget increases. Town Budget The Town Manager has proposed a budget that requests fewer tax levy dollars in FY 95 than were appropriated in FY92. Further reductions in town programs cannot be achieved without drastic reductions or elimination of much valued municipal programs. Public Schools $32,723,264 $33,397,877 The School Superintendent has submitted a budget that proposes a $3.3 million or a 10.1% increase in FY 95. The proposed budget is $2.6 million less than the Superintendent's requested amount. 3 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 showing the new election precinct boundaries is also provided. 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 program budget. As always, the Board of Selectmen encourages your comments relating to this year's proposed Town Meeting Warrant. BOARD OF SELECTMEN William J. Dailey, Jr., Chairman Leo P. McSweeney Daniel P.

(Inserted at the request of the Conservation Commission) FUNDS REQUESTED: $9,700 at press time. DESCRIPTION: Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act G.L. c. 131, S.40, there is a requirement that a Notice of Intent be filed for any activities affecting areas subject to protection under that law. The Town's share of the filing fee is deposited in a `Reserve for Appropriation for Wetlands Protection Fund' account. Monies in this Fund are available for appropriation by Town Meeting only for the use of the Conservation Commission in carrying out its duties under the Wetlands Protection Act. Examples of appropriate expenditures from the fund would be the cost of engaging consultants and technical assistance for project reviews and issuing and defending regulatory decisions. The balance in the fund at press time was $9,700. ARTICLE 22 LAND EXCHANGE/LOWELL AND NORTH STREET To see if the Town will vote to accept a portion of a parcel of land shown as Lot 1 on Assessors' Property Map 75, now or formerly of V.K. Bogosian, for conservation purposes, including outdoor recreation as provided by Section 8C of Chapter 40 of the General Laws, as amended, in exchange for a portion of town conservation land shown as Lot 31 on Assessors' Property Map 75; authorize the Board of Selectmen to petition the General Court for an act to authorize such exchange of land; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted at the request of the Conservation Commission) DESCRIPTION: This article requests acceptance of approximately 44,000 square feet of the parcel shown as Lot 1 on Assessors' Map 75 in exchange for approximately 10,090 square feet of Conservation land on Lot 31 on Assessors' Map 75. The subject parcels lie at the northwest junction of Lowell and North Streets and extend to the Vine Brook.

The current Owner proposes to transfer ownership of the parcel to the Conservation Commission. This parcel is offered as a gift for no consideration. ARTICLE 24 ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT/ JUMBO HOUSE SETBACKS To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law: by deleting the last sentence from footnote k in Table 2, Schedule of Dimensional Controls, and adding the following sentence to footnote e: "The minimum side and rear yard setback is 25 feet for dwellings with a gross floor area greater than 2500 square feet. This requirement shall supersede the provisions of subsection 7.4.1 b." or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted at the request of the Planning Board) DESCRIPTION: This amendment encourages the creation of modest-sized houses on small "grandfathered" lots, and will therefore help preserve diversity in the Town's housing stock. The amendment relates yard setbacks to the size of the house in a manner that is identical with existing requirements for new subdivisions. Houses with less than 2500 square feet will continue to have setbacks of 7.5' to 15', depending on frontage, while larger houses will have a 25' setback. For reference, a typical Cape Cod style house has 1200-1400 square feet, and the median size of a house in town is 2606 square feet, and the median size of houses built in Town during the 1990s is 4900 square feet. Houses which become non-conforming under this amendment can be expanded in many cases under existing provisions of the Zoning By-Law. GENERAL ARTICLES ARTICLE 25 RESCISSION OF AUTHORIZED AND UNISSUED DEBT To see if the Town will vote to rescind the unused borrowing authorization voted under Article 31 of the warrant for the 1990 Annual Town Meeting; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: Town Meeting authorized $1,227,595 in April 1990, to remodel, reconstruct and make extraordinary repairs to school buildings and purchase additional equipment. The Town issued $1,227,000 of debt, leaving a balance of $595. The Board of Selectmen proposes a rescission of the unissued balance. 21 ARTICLE 26 BY-LAW FOR INTEREST ON UNPAID WATER BILLS To see if the Town will vote to amend Article XXIV of the General By-Laws by adding a new Section 5 thereto as follows: "Section 5. All municipal charges and bills shall be due and payable within thirty days from the date of issue. Municipal charges and bills not paid on time shall thereafter bear interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of fourteen percent per annum." or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: Unlike real estate, personal property, or motor vehicle tax bills, delinquent water/sewer bills are currently not assessed interest on delinquent accounts. This by-law would require that interest at 14% (current rate for interest on real estate and personal property tax) be charged on all overdue water/sewer bills. ARTICLE 27 M.G.L. 30B §12 - TOWN CONTRACTS To see if the Town will vote to permit the Procurement Officer to solicit and award contracts for goods and services for a term not exceeding five years; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article proposes to give the Town an advantage for negotiating better pricing. The Town is currently limited to three-year contracts. ARTICLE 28 LAND TRANSFER TO LEXHAB To see if the Town will vote to transfer the care, custody, management and control of a vacant lot along Woodland Road, subject to a perpetual easement for walking purposes, no longer needed by the School Department to the Board of Selectmen, or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article proposes to transfer a lot along Woodland Road from the control of the School Committee to the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen. This lot was a part of a parcel which provides access to Fiske School. Access will continue and the Town will gain another affordable housing lot. 22 ARTICLE 29 GENERAL BY-LAW AMENDMENT ARTICLE XXVIII, SECTION 2A & 2B/POOPER SCOOPER To see if the Town will vote to amend the General By-Laws as follows: (a) By adding a new Section 2A to Article XXVIII as follows: "Section 2A. It shall be the responsibility of each person who owns, possesses or controls a dog to remove and dispose of any feces left by his/her dog on any street, public place or any private property of another. This section shall not apply to a guide dog accompanying any handicapped person." (b) By deleting in Section 6 of Article I the words "Article XXVIII, Sections 2, 3, 4, 5" and substituting therefor the words "Article XXVIII, Sections 2, 2A, 3, 4, 5" or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by Barbara Wachman and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: Presently there are dog owners who habitually walk their dogs away from their own property and lead them to relieve themselves on a property of a neighbor, or in a park or playground. The amendment proposed here would require dog owners to remove solid waste left by their leashed dog on property other than their own. This is often referred to as a "pooper scooper" law and has been enacted in several nearby communities. ARTICLE 30 GENERAL BY-LAW AMENDMENT/ ARTICLE V, SECTION 22 To amend the General By-Laws of the Town of Lexington by inserting in Section 22 of Article 5, after the word "declared", the words ", except that an article involving the expenditure of Town funds may be reopened only one more time when reconsideration is voted by approval of at least half of the total members and four-fifths of those members voting and then the motion being reconsidered shall be reopened at a subsequent session of the meeting no sooner than five days later," and by adding at the end of Section 22 of Article 5 the words: " No motion shall be reconsidered more than twice." and by inserting in Section 24 of Article 5, after the words "no question shall be twice reconsidered", the words " except as provided in Section 22"; and by inserting in Section 10 of Article 5, just before the last period of the sentence, the words " and except as provided in Section 22"; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by Ephraim Weiss and nine or more registered voters) 23 DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this amendment to the General By-Laws is to provide greater flexibility to the Town Meeting process on reconsideration than is now afforded. It would enable the Town Meeting to reopen any article involving expenditures if 80% of those voting and more than half the total number of Town Meeting members vote to reconsider. This would apply even if notice of reconsideration had not previously been given, and even if the article had already been reconsidered. This would make reconsideration possible, but not easy, and would be likely to reduce the number of notices served of intent to reconsider fiscal articles "just in case." ARTICLE 31 GENERAL BY-LAW AMENDMENT/ ARTICLE VI, SECTION 12, BUDGET SUBMISSION To see if the Town will vote to amend the General By-Laws of the Town of Lexington by deleting Article VI, Section 12 and replacing it with the following: (a) To foster coordination and complementary planning, the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee shall endeavor, by November 1, to agree on a set of revenue and expense projections, preliminary budget priorities, and alternative approaches to anticipated budget shortfalls or surpluses. It is expected that the Board of Selectmen and School Committee will have consulted with the Appropriations Committee and the Capital Expenditures Committee in the course of developing a shared understanding of the parameters within which budget preparation can be undertaken. (b) The Town Manager shall annually submit to the Selectmen, the Appropriation Committee, and the Capital Expenditures Committee for their consideration a proposed budget, revenue statement and tax rate estimate on or before January 15. (c) The Superintendent of Schools shall annually submit to the School Committee, the Appropriation Committee, and the Capital Expenditures Committee for their consideration a proposed budget and statement of revenue from aid, grants, fees or other sources on or before January 1. (d) The Board of Selectmen and School Committee shall vote preliminary budgets no later than February 10. (e) The Appropriations Committee shall hold public meetings on both the Selectmen's and School Committee's preliminary budgets during February and issue a report on these budgets no later than two weeks before the first business session of the Annual Town Meeting. Or take any other action relative thereto. (Inserted by Jay R. Kaufman and nine or more registered voters) 24 DESCRIPTION: In 1984, the Lexington Town Meeting voted to petition the state legislature to amend the Town Manager Act by deleting references to a budget timetable from the Act, stipulating that the timetable be specified by town by-law where it could be readily amended by Town Meeting. (Amendments to the Town Manager Act require both a Town Meeting vote and the legislature's approval whereas a bylaws change requires only a vote of Town Meeting.) The proposed by-law amendment is intended to complete the process begun 10 years ago but never completed. It is designed to build on the momentum of the past two budget cycles, further encouraging and institutionalizing coordination between the individuals, boards, and committees responsible for developing the annual town budget. It calls on the Board of Selectmen and School Committee to build their separate budgets on a common understanding of revenue and expense projections and budget priorities. It also clarifies and strengthens the Appropriation Committee's ability to inform Town Meeting's budget deliberations. ARTICLE 32 ESTABLISH COMN1i ILE - AUDIT PROCEDURE To see if the Town will vote to establish an Audit Committee, appointed by the Selectmen for a term of three years, consisting of between three and five members, none of whom are employed by the Town, conduct business with the Town, or are town-wide elected officials; the Audit Committee shall conduct reviews of internal and external audits arkd financial reporting of all Town accounts and shall have access to all internal financial Icontrol systems, and shall periodically report its findings and recommendations to the Selectmen in a timely manner; these reports shall be a matter of public record, and shall be made available to the public; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by Charles M. Cullen and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: The proposed audit committee is intended to monitor the implementation of municipal financial accounting requirements. The committee would be independent of Town management as well as help maintain the independence of outside CPA's and oversee financial internal controls and outside reports. ARTICLE 33 OVERRIDE To see if the Town will adopt the following resolution. Resolved that the Selectmen, in exercising the override provision of M.G.L. Ch 59, Sec 21c, consider a line item(s) override. (Inserted by Paul Nesbeda and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: The referenced law on proposition 2 1/2 gives the procedure for an override. This resolution, while not legally binding on the Selectmen, represents a citizen's petition requesting participation in any expenditure decision that would affect the future of their well-being. 25 ARTICLE 34 BUDGET REDUCTION To see if the Town will adjust total appropriations by reducing every discretionary appropriation in the 1994 Annual Town Meeting by 5.00 percent. The reduction would apply to every line item in the main budget (Article 4) and every other appropriation article except for any line item or article which, either in whole or in part, is an appropriation for 1) Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School assessment 2) MBTA assessment per cherry sheet 3) County charges per cherry sheet 4) County tax 5) Principal payments of funded debt 6) Interest payments of funded debt 7) Exempt debt 8) Contributory retirement 9) Non-contributory retirement 10) Temporary borrowing 11) Unemployment benefits, if any 12) MWRA charges and assessment - 13) Payment to NESWC 14) Payments obligated by contract for curbside rubbish removal 15) Appropriation amounts funded by borrowing The specified percentage reduction shall apply to that portion, and only that portion, of the appropriation amount of any line item or article which is not in one of the above appropriation categories; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by Michael E. Schroeder and nine or more registered voters) DESCRIPTION: This article proposes an across-the-board percentage reduction in all discretionary accounts as an equitable means to adjust Lexington's final FY 1995 appropriations. Budget amendments can, of course, be made one article at a time under existing rules of debate. This article is intended to offer an additional option to consider the overall budget and the financial ability of the people of Lexington to support it prior to final adjournment of Town Meeting. Local aid commitments by the state and other uncertainties can combine to put the final budget out of line with original targets for the tax levy, and for the past two years these uncertainties have persisted well into the annual Town Meeting sessions. This article specifically excludes from reduction a number of expenditures deemed nondiscretionary. Generally, these are either items mandated by state law, certain contractual items, and items, if any, funded by borrowing and therefore requiring a 2/3 majority to pass. 26 ARTICLE 35 USE OF FUNDS TO REDUCE TAX RATE 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. 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 third day of February, A.D., 1994. WILLIAM J. DAILEY, JR., Chairman LEO P. McSWEENEY Selectmen DANIEL P. BUSA, JR. DAN H. FENN, JR. ELIZABETH B.
