In addition, the fur production process is energy intensive and has a significant environmental impact, including air and water pollution, and animals that are slaughtered for their fur endure tremendous suffering. Eliminating the sale of fur products in the Town of Lexington will decrease the demand for these cruel and environmentally harmful products and promote community health and well-being as well as animal welfare, and, in turn, will foster a more humane environment in the Town and enhance the reputation of the Town. Wellesley, Weston, Brookline, Plymouth and Cambridge have similar bans.

Axtell, Deputy Town Manager Fax: (781) 861-2921 .]anuary 20, 2023 The Honorable Select Board, Appropriation Committee and Capital Expenditures Committee: I am hereby submitting the FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan for your review. Our primary goal has been to develop a budget and financing plan that maintains a high level of municipal and school services while remaining sustainable for the community in the long term. We strive to articulate this plan in a transparent manner through the leadership actions, behaviors and visions of the Select Board and various policy and advisory committees. A Sustainable Budget: Budgets are about priorities and should be strategic in explaining what we do, why we do it, when we do it, and how we propose to invest the resources of our taxpayers to achieve the results our community desires. While focusing on long-term priorities sometimes takes a back seat to the immediate demands placed on Town officials, it is important to strike a balance among competing demands. We hope this document is helpful in this regard. It should be acknowledged that the Town has weathered many challenges through the past three fiscal years, yet we remain in a solid financial position due to conservative budgeting and strong fiscal management. FY2024 will be particularly difficult due to inflationary pressure on goods and services including increasing wages, and rising healthcare premiums, energy, and refuse disposal costs, all of which had a significant impact on this FY2024 Recommended Budget. The Town also continues to experience supply chain delays and increasing costs for contract labor. The School Department is experiencing challenges with post pandemic learning loss and special education needs. This budget was developed around these challenges, and we expect the Town will maintain a sound financial position leading up to and throughout FY2024. Revenues for FY2024 are expected to remain stable and we expect a modest amount of new growth from commercial development. While this modest level of revenue may not allow for program improvements in FY2024, it is sufficient to maintain contractual obligations and current levels of service. Importantly, new commercial growth will allow the Town to maintain financial policies and goals that address long-term liabilities and capital needs. This Preliminary Budget is balanced and based on a 3.9% increase in revenue as projected in the Town's Revenue Allocation Model which has been used by the Town for the past two decades to ensure a fair distribution of new revenues to the School and Municipal sides of Town government. This provides funding for the School Department at $133,238,358 for FY2024, an increase of $4,983,911 over the FY2023 budget. The Municipal budget is $47,191,058, an increase of $1,750,442 over the FY2023 budget. This budget also recommends the use of $395,272 from free cash to offset an i extraordinary increase in curbside sanitation collection costs, which will not be included in FY2025 or subsequent years. In addition to the budget presented here, the Town continues to utilize $9.9 million in Federal funds that were directly allocated to Lexington via the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This federal grant funding is allocated by the Lexington Select Board, these funds must be obligated by end of calendar year 2024 and fully expended by the end of calendar year 2026. The Board has committed to utilize this funding to support economic recovery, maintain public health and safety and assist those residents and businesses disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. A Transparent Budget: In preparing this Preliminary Budget, Town and School department staff strived to create a document that presents the budget in a manner that meets the requirements and expectations of our boards, committees, Town Meeting members and residents. The best way to explain Town operations, in depth and for the critical eye, is for Town officials to be transparent in everything we do. This FY2024 Preliminary Budget proposes $273 million in General Fund spending, $33 million in Enterprise Fund spending, $4 million in Revolving Fund spending and $42 million in capital projects. We believe this document is comprehensive enough so that readers understand where Town revenue comes from and what they are spent on, yet succinct enough that the details are not overwhelming. Staff and I will continue to endeavor to improve not only this document, but the budgeting process and will continue to strive to provide improvements and welcome comments and suggestions in order to provide a better communicated budget in the future. The operating and capital budget the Board recommends to Town Meeting is the single most important policy document considered each year, as the budget is the one-year spending plan based on the Board's strategic priorities. It reflects many competing interests, but in the end has been, and should continue to be, a reflection on what is best for the Town as a whole. As always, the Senior Management Team and I remain committed to working with the Select Board, School Department and financial committees in striking a balance in the allocation of projected revenues for Town services, educational programs and capital improvements. We look forward to working with you to address the Town's challenges in the coming years. I want to acknowledge and thank the work and effort that Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance and Katharine Labrecque, Budget Officer have contributed to this document and the entire budget process, along with the entire Senior Management Team and other staff of the Town. Very tru ly you rs, James J. Malloy Town Manager ii Prel i m i na Bud et - In Su m ma rY J rY This budget, as submitted, is balanced given the revenue assumptions shown in Section II of this document, and presented at Financial Summit III and subsequently updated. Town Manager's Overall Recommendations In light of the goals and priorities of the Select Board and the discussions at Fiscal Summits I II & III, this preliminary budget includes the following key recommendations: • Municipal and School Department Revenue Allocations - At Financial Summit III, a Revenue Allocation Formula was presented which projected an available funding increase of 3.6%. This figure was recently refined and the allocation to both Town and School increased to 3.9%. The Town Manager's recommended budget, including recommended program improvements, fully expends the allocation for municipal services. The Superintendent of Schools' recommended budget fully expends the allocation for the schools. • Municipal Program Improvement Requests (PIR's) - While FY2024 revenues are expected to increase modestly, several contractual expenses are increasing at a faster rate than revenue, which results in little to no funding for discretionary program improvements in FY2024. Senior managers submitted a total of $1,516,404 in municipal program improvement requests, of which $189,727 are being recommended in the General Fund. The programs selected for funding are either one-time in nature (not ongoing expenses), critical for maintaining services, or mandated by the State. In some cases, the Town Manager has recommended minor reductions to department budgets in other areas to allow for funding these critical or mandated programs. Additional program improvements are recommended if they are outside the General Fund and will be covered with Enterprise or Revolving Fund revenues. • Capital Budget - This Preliminary Budget includes recommendations for $42.1 million in capital projects, including those identified as priorities by the Select Board, as well as the typical capital programs included in the capital plan in order to maintain the Town's infrastructure. Of this amount, $29.3 million is sourced from available funding sources, such as the tax levy, user charges, Free Cash and Enterprise retained earnings, the Community Preservation Act (CPA), and other funds. The remaining amount will be debt financed, all of which will be within the limits of Proposition 2�/2. • Reduced Reliance on Free Cash for Operating Budget - In FY2023, the Town completed a 5-year transition of eliminating the use of Free Cash to support the operating budget. This is down from $3.74 million in FY2019, $2.9 million in FY2020, and $2.2 million in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 and $700,000 in FY2023. Implementation of this fiscal guideline has begun showing results by increasing funds available for cash capital, thereby reducing within levy debt service service resulting in greatly reduced interest costs. Despite this guideline, the FY2024 Preliminary Budget proposes to use $395,272 in Free Cash to support the extraordinary increase in the town's proposed curbside sanitation collection contract, and a one-time $30,000 expense for conducting a municipal salary study for non-represented employees. The Town does not intend to use Free Cash for operations i n FY2025. • Dedicated Tax Levy for Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) - The Town has utilized the CSF over the last several years to create stability in the Town's obligated debt service, and has reaffirmed the intention to continue this practice in the coming years. The FY2024 budget includes the implementation of a fiscal guideline adopted in 2022 to dedicate new tax levy growth from specific properties (PSDUP & Hartwell Redevelopment) to increase reserves for future capital projects, specifically, the High School construction project. In FY2023, $1,733,137 was transferred to the CSF from the tax levy under this new guideline. That iii amount continues into FY2024 and is anticipated to grow once new levy growth for the targeted properties is calculated for FY2024. Fall 2023 Special Town Meeting will be asked to transfer that further amount to the CSF. This funding will provide a sustainable funding source that will mitigate a portion of the new high school debt service costs. • Dedicated Tax Levy for Retirement Fund (CSF) - In FY2023 Takeda, a large pharmaceutical company in Lexington changed its tax strategy to no-longer claim a personal property tax exemption. This resulted in $1.06M in unanticipated new tax revenue. This new revenue was dedicated to the Town's Retirement Fund for FY2023 via a supplemental appropriation at the Fall 2022-3 Special Town Meeting. This budget proposes to continue ded icati ng th is ongoi ng revenue to the Reti rement Fu nd i n FY2024, pl us the i ncrementa I g rowth of 2.5% for a total of$1,086,500. Continuing to allocate this revenue to the Retirement Fund in future years will allow the Town to remain on schedule to reach full-funding in FY2030. • Appropriate into Special Education Stabilization (SPED) Fund - In FY2022 Town Meeting appropriated $500,000 from the Special Education Stabilization Fund to support School Operations during a period of operating uncertainty due to the pandemic. None of these funds were utilized and therefore reverted to Free Cash as of June 30, 2022. This budget proposes to appropriate $500,000 of Free Cash back into the Special Education Stabilization Fund for future unanticipated or extraordinary expenses in Special Education, which will bring the balance in the fund to approximately $1.Z million. This funding may be allocated in future budget cycles by a vote of Tow n M eeti n g. • Establish and Appropriate into Special Education (SPED) Reserve Fund - In 2016 the Municipal Modernization Act enacted Chapter 40, Section 13E of the Massachusetts General Laws allows the establishment of a Special Education Reserve Fund. This fund is limited in size to 2% of annual Net School Spending as defined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). This Reserve Fund is more flexible than a Stabilization Fund as funds may be appropriated by affirmative vote of the School Committee and Select Board at any point during the fiscal year. Given current challenges at the School Department, this budget recommends establishing a SPED Reserve Fund and appropriating $750,000 of Free Cash into said fund to be used for unanticipated special education expenses that arise during FY2024. This is a continuing balance fund and any unspent appropriation will carry forward into future fiscal years. • Health Department Organizational Change - In FY2022 the Town Manager conducted an organizational study of the Municipal department structure. A primary recommendation of that study was to separate the Health Department from Land Use, Health & Development to a stand-alone department. The study further recommended that the Health Director position being upgraded to a member of the Senior Management team. This change is reflected in the FY2024 proposed budget, under Section VIII, Program 6500. The Land Use Health & Development Department has been renamed the Land Use Housing & Development Depa rtment. • Unallocated Revenues - In planning the proposed operating and capital budget, there are unknowns in revenue projections (e.g., State Aid), proposed operating budgets (e.g., employee benefits/health insurance), certain capital project estimates, as well as potentially competing priorities of the Select Board, School Committee and the financial committees. This preliminary budget provides $750,000 in unallocated funds (Free Cash) that can be directed towards any of these purposes during the review and vetting process. iv Select Boa rd Priorities This preliminary FY2024 budget is responsive to many of the priorities identified by the Select Board during its annual goal-setting meetings, and in response to needs arising throughout the year, including: • Sustainability: Departments have continued to implement the Select Board's electric vehicle pol icy, a nd have factored i ncreased costs i nto pla n ned veh icle pu rchases for the Faci I ities, Pu bl ic Works and Police Departments. • Solar Canopies: In FY2023, Town Meeting approved the debt authorization for the construction of a new Police Station at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue. This budget recommends the addition of solar canopies over the Municipal Parking lot behind the new Police Station and Cary Memorial Building. The Town will own the solar panels and expects to generate enough electricity to offset the energy expenses of the new Pol ice Station. • Capital Improvement Planning: From 2020-2021 the Department of Public Facilities (DPF) conducted an evaluation of the Town's building-related capital assets. This study produced a detailed report on the current condition of DPF assets, including a 20-year Master Plan and schedule for renovating or replacing all town buildings and related systems. The FY2024 budget includes preliminary steps to address priorities in this long term plan such as site study for the East Lexington Fire Station and preliminary design and engineering work for the Stone Building and 173 Bedford St. This budget also continues to plan for a large-scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexi ngton H ig h School i n the next 3-5 yea rs. • Maintain Public Access Television: This budget includes a partial funding of the LexMedia contract from the tax levy. As local subscriptions to cable television continue to decline, revenues to the Town's PEG Access Fund have declined. Projections indicate that continuation of Public Access Television will no longer be possible without General Fund support. This budget allocates $100,000 of tax levy support to maintain current levels of service. This amount of General Fund support is expected to increase in future budget cycles. • Pedestrian, Bicycle and Vehicle Safety on Town Roads: Overall, $5,108,312 is recommended for the construction of new Sidewalks; existing Sidewalk Improvements; and Street Improvements. • Fiscal Stability: This budget implements fiscal guidelines discussed above to dedicate a portion of the tax levy to the CSF to align with long-term capital spending, and to the Retirement Fund to continue to address the Town's unfunded liabilities. v Budget H ig hl ig hts This document includes General Fund operating budgets, the Capital budget, Enterprise Fund budgets and proposed Community Preservation Act funded projects. A comparison of the FY2023 appropriated budget to the FY2024 recommended General Fund budget is shown below.

Prel i m i na Bud et a nd Fi na nci n Pla n rY J J To facilitate review of this document, some of the salient aspects of this budget are highlighted below: 1. FY2024 Projected Revenues • Revenue Projections(Section II) - General Fund operating revenues are projected to increase by $9,005,235 or 3.4% over FY2023 estimated revenues. Lexington's projected and actual revenue growth for prior years is shown below: Pro�e� Actual Pro�e� Actual FY2024 3.4% FY2018 4.6% 6.6% FY2023 3.9% FY2017 2.8% 3.3% FY2022 7.0% 7.2% FY2016 4.2% 6.8% FY2021 3.6% 2.5% FY2015 3.6% 2.6% FY2020 3.5% 3.4% FY2014 6.9% 9.4% FY2019 3.6% 3.6% FY2013 4.7% 4.7% • Revenue A/location Mode/- Each year, the Town Manager recommends the allocation of projected revenues that can be applied to fund the operating budget in the next fiscal year. This model was developed in 2006 by the Town Manager, Assistant Town Manager for Finance and Superintendent of Schools and is reviewed annually. The FY2024 model was reviewed by the Select Board, financial committees and School Committee at Financial Summit III, and was subsequently updated in ]anuary 2023 to allocate an additional $484,828 in revenue between the Town and School. The final model projected $6.73 million in net new revenue to be allocated, which represents a 3.9% increase compared to budgeted amounts from the prior year. vi The amounts shown in this Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan represent the Town Manager's recommended FY2024 budget for municipal operations and Superintendent of School's recommended FY2024 budget, inclusive of benefits for new employees. The Superintendent's budget is pending review and adoption by the School Committee. All budgets are pending review and adoption by the Select Board. • New Revenue: Refuse Collection Revolving Fund - This Preliminary Budget proposes implementing a fee for collection and disposal of bulky items and white goods. In prior years, collection and disposal of these large items was included in the Town's Refuse Collection budget with regular curbside collection at no additional cost to the user. However, the proposed increase for refuse collection and disposal in FY2024 is extraordinary and necessitates a change in services. Creating a Refuse Collection Revolving Fund will allow the Town to pass-through the collection and disposal expense for large items to the user. Fees would be set a level that would cover the Town's contracted expense, plus a small administrative fee. The final refuse and recycling collection contract is under negotiation and will be determined in the coming weeks. The budget for the new Refuse Collection Revolving Fund can be found in Section V: Program 3400 - Environmental Services. • Future Revenue Considerations- While not included in this preliminary Budget, staff and the Select Board continue to examine options for creating a Stormwater Enterprise Fund to be fu nded by a Stormwater Ma nagement Fee. The Town is expend i ng a pproxi mately $2,500,000 annually as part of the capital and operating budgets to improve and maintain drainage townwide, to comply with its National Pollution Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) permit, and manage the stormwater regulations, in addition to over 1.5 FTE of Engineering staff time. Stormwater management is an important local, state and national concern. While Lexington's NPDES permit was based on the original 2003 issuance, regulation levels have increased and we are now under new EPA regulations which are much more prescriptive and stringent. Capital and operating budget impacts will increase as the NPDES permit continues and our infrastructure continues to age. In anticipation of this mandated program and the ever-increasing costs of managing stormwater, a number of municipalities nationwide have instituted a Stormwater Management Fee, including at least 21 in Massachusetts. Over the last several years, staff have presented the Select Board with a preliminary framework, fee options, and implementation timeline for a new Stormwater Enterprise Fund. The Town expects to seek public input on the framework and further refine plans over the coming months, and intends to have a recommendation prepared for the 2023 Fall Special Town Meeting. 2.

Sections V to X of this document include the recommended budgets for each municipal department. Municipal department managers initially submit level-service budget requests. A level-service budget is defined as the funds necessary to replicate the current level of services provided and to meet all legal requirements, including collective bargaining requirements and State or federal mandates. Any increases proposed beyond level-service are shown in each departmental budget as Program Improvement Requests (PIRs) submitted by the Department manager for evaluation by the Town Manager. A table of requested Program Improvements Requests can be found in the Appendix, located in Section XII of this document. The FY2024 budget presented multiple challenges as noted in the Town Manager's Report, and therefore only critical or mandated PIR's are recommended in the FY2024 municipal department budgets. Further, the Town Manager has recommended minor reductions to department budgets in other areas to allow for funding these critical or mandated changes. These reductions are also reflected in the Manager's Add/Delete column. 1. Providing enhanced administrative support to the Human Resources Office by upgrading the Administrative Assistant position from 19 to 35 hours per week ($44,727); 2. Supporting local access cable TV; $ $100,000 of supplemental funding will be provided through the General Fund due to declining PEG revenues; 3. Hiring a part-time Sealer of Weights and Measurers at 18 hours a week shared with the Town of Burlington. This is a mandated service that the State will no longer be providing and therefore must be assumed by the municipality ($15,000); 4. Supporting a Classification and Compensations Study ($30,000) for the Lexington Municipal Management Association, Municipal Employees Association and the Town's Non-Represented employees. This is a one-time expense that will be funded from Free Cash. 5. The Tour Services Coordinator position will promote Lexington's tourism programs and tour offerings to the local, national, and international hospitality community to increase revenue and visitorship. As opposed to the part-time Liberty Ride Coordinator position, viii the full-time Tour Service Coordinator position would oversee all tour services that Lexington offers- Battle Green Walking Tours, Liberty Ride, and Charter Tours. This position has been vacant since the beginning of the pandemic and will be fully funded by the Tourism Revolving Fund at ($76,817), including benefits. 6. Upgrading two Heavy Equipment Operator Positions to Leadman Positions ($12,174) which will be funded by the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds ($6,087 from each fund). The following table provides a summary of the FY2023 to FY2024 municipal department budget requests, as adjusted and recommended by the Town Manager: FY2024 FY2023 Recommended % Municipal Budgets* Appropriated Budget $ Change Change Public Works $ 11,968,145 $ 12,738,509 $ 770,364 6% Pol ice $ 8,265,377 $ 9,051,330 $ 785,953 10% Fire $ 8,068,468 $ 8,120,441 $ 51,973 1% Library $ 3,336,219 $ 3,380,320 $ 44,101 1% Human Services $ 1,527,421 $ 1,561,698 $ 34,277 2% ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������,,,,�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������,,,,��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������,����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������,,,�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������, Health $ 457,870 $ 527,313 $ 69,443 15% Land Use Departments $ 2,334,743 $ Z,383,716 $ 48,973 2% Select Board $ 1,298,802 $ 1,334,327 $ 35,526 3% Town Manager $ 1,305,971 $ 1,416,624 $ 110,653 8% Salary Adjustment Account $ 826,422 $ 725,300 $ (101,122) (12)% Town Committees $ 70,160 $ 66,208 $ (3,952) (6)% Finance $ 2,058,151 $ 2,115,172 $ 57,021 3% Town Clerk $ 627,297 $ 597,360 $ (29,937) (5)% Innovation &Technolo y $ 2,667,509 $ 2,918,565 $ 251,057 9% Total $ 44,812,553 $ 46,936,883 $ 2,124,330 5% * Health is newly separated from the Land Use Departments and will function as a separate Town department beginning in FY2024. Pro osed A ro riations Into Reserves/Trust Funds p pp p The Town maintains a variety of reserve funds. This includes stabilization funds that can be used to balance the budget in times of economic downturn or volatility, (General Stabilization Fund, SPED Stabilization Fund); Specialized Stabilization funds that can be used for specific purposes (Capital Stabilization Fund); OPEB and Pension funds to cover future liabilities, and a General Fund reserve ($750,000) which is set aside in the operating budget for extraordinary and unforeseen expenses within the fiscal year and can be allocated at the recommendation of the Appropriation Committee. Special Education Reserve Fund - As discussed above, this Preliminary Recommended Budget proposes to create a new Special Education Reserve Fund to set aside $750,000 for unexpected expenses related to special education, out-of-district tuition or transportation. This funding can be allocated at the recommendation of the School Committee and the Select Board at any point during the fiscal year. Unspent funds will carry forward into future fiscal years. ix As in prior years, the proposed budget includes recommendations to increase certain reserves/trusts that are for targeted purposes. The table below presents the current balance of our larger reserve funds: Special Other Post General Education Employment Capital Reserve Fund Stabilization Stabilization Benefits(OPEB) Stabilization Balance as of �10,272,398 $664,170 $22,417,134 $21,985,362 December 31, 2022 OPEB Trust Fund - The purpose of this Trust fund is to continue to fund the Town's Retiree Health Insurance Liability. The Town's most recent actuarial valuation calculated the net OPEB liability to be approximately $242 million. Recent Appropriations into the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)Trust Fund FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Recommended $1,842,895 $1,842,895 $1,885,486 $750,000 $1,885,486 $1,935,486 $1,985,486 Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) - The Town has recently completed a number of significant capital projects, including a new Hastings Elementary School, a new facility for the Lexington Children's Place (LCP), a new Fire Station Headquarters, a new Visitors Center, and the Center Streetscape project. In addition, construction is underway for a new Police Station. Finally, Town Meeting approved funding for a feasi bi I ity study for renovati ng or reconstructi ng Lexi ngton H ig h School at the 2022-2 Special Town Meeting. A key aspect for funding these projects has been to set aside one-time revenues to build the Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) and then use a portion of the CSF in future budgets to materially reduce the property tax impact of these projects on taxpayers. This approach has generated healthy balances in the CSF, which have been successfully used to mitigate the impact of the Hastings School, LCP, Fire Headquarters, and Police Station. A Fiscal Guideline Working Group was formed to review this approach and propose updates, which resulted in a new fiscal framework for the CSF. At the fiscal summits in 2021, policy makers endorsed a new fiscal framework to dedicate to the CSF the new tax levy growth generated from projects approved at Town Meeting for a Preliminary Site Development and Use Plan (PSDUP), as well as for many of the new projects approved under the revised zoning on Hartwell Avenue. The amounts dedicated to the CSF are expected to grow significantly over the next few years. The initial FY2024 set aside of$1,733,137 can be found in Table 1A of the Revenue section. That amount is expected to increase once FY2024 new levy growth is calculated; Fall 2023 Special Town Meeting will be asked to transfer that further amount to the CSF. The accumulated CSF balance will be available to either mitigate annual increases in debt service, or fund projects with cash. Once new exempt debt for the high school comes due, the ongoing annual revenue stream can be diverted to cover part of the debt service payments. Each of those approaches allows for flexibility in capital planning and reduces dramatic impacts to taxpayers from a high school construction project. In addition, one-time revenues will continue to be dedicated to the CSF, as available during the annual budget process. x Below is a history use of the Capital Stabilization Fund to mitigate the property tax impact of the projects noted above, as well as the two middle school additions/renovations and the elementary school modular classrooms approved by the voters in May 2016.

In FY2024 a total of$9,042,335 of non-Town projects are requested. **Other represents Chapter 90 Aid for street improvements. This item does not require a Town Meeting appropriation. In 2021, the Department of Public Facilities (DPF) completed an evaluation of the Town's building- related capital assets. This study produced a detailed report on the current condition of DPF assets, including a 20-year Master Plan and schedule for renovating or replacing all town buildings and related systems. The existing conditions of Town and School buildings were presented at joint Summit meetings in the Spring of 2022, and Town staff and policy makers are continuing discussions on long- term planning and priorities. xi The FY2024 budget includes preliminary steps to address priorities in this long term plan such as a site study for the East Lexington Fire Station and preliminary design and engineering work for the Stone Building and 173 Bedford St. The Town and School departments also continue to move forward with planning for a new or renovated Lexington High School. No funding for that project is requested in FY2024, but additional appropriations for design and construction are expected in the the next 3-5 yea rs. Other large or notable projects for FY2024 are highlighted below. The Town's full FY2024 Capital Plan and additional information on these projects may be found in Section XI: Capital Investment of this Preliminary Budget. • Solar Canopy &System - New Police Station - This request for $3,400,000 will fund the purchase and installation of photovoltaic panels at the new Police Station site, utilizing a combination of both rooftop and canopy arrays over the parking area. The proposed canopies will be designed to fit into the Historic District downtown landscape. The Town will own the panels and the goal of the solar array is to generate enough power to allow the Police Station to operate as N et Ze ro. • New Sidewalk Installations (Hill Street) - This request for $1,620,000 will fund the survey, design and installation of new sidewalks in various locations throughout the Town. The request for FY2024 is for design and construction of a sidewalk on Cedar Street, in it's entirety, including a roundabout at Paul Revere and Hill Street. • Bedford St. and Hartwell Ave. Long-Range Transportation Improvements - This request for $1,750,000 is to complete the 25% design related to a future capital project for improvements to Route 4/225 (Bedford Street/Hartwell Avenue), including the "jug-handle" intersection. Lexington will partner with the State on this construction project, and funding this design is critical to keeping Lexington's place for this project on the State's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the 2030-2034 time band. The project aims to create a complete street for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists by widening Route 4/225, adjusting the intersection, and adding pedestrian and transit facilities. • Lincoln Park Field Improvements - This FY2024 request for $3,391,500 is to begin construction and preparation to replace the three athletic fields at Lincoln Park, as well as construction of lighting at Lincoln Fields 1 and 3. The fields are approaching the end of their lifespans and must be replaced if safe and anticipated use is to continue. These improvements will allow for increased usage of the fields, alleviating the shortage of available hours the Recreation Department now experiences. This project will be funded from Community Preservation Funds and the Tax Levy. • Lead and Copper Program - The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently revised the lead and copper rule requiring communities to inventory and replace lead service water lines. This $4,209,580 funding request is to provide consulting services to develop the inventory, bid specifications, and hire a contractor to perform the replacement work. This project will be funded from the Water Enterprise Fund and may qualify for a zero interest loan from MWRA. xi i Pol ic Issues y This has been a particularly challenging budget year as there is a limited amount of resources to be allocated and the Town has set aggressive guidelines for addressing our long-term capital needs and funding of the Town's long-term liabilities. Policy items to be reaffirmed or addressed by the Select Board in finalizing this preliminary budget include: • Dedicate New Tax Levy Growth to the Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) - Whether to support the future transfers of new tax levy growth into the CSF. The FY2024 recommended transfer is $1,733,137. This amount is expected to grow in future years as new projects are completed. The contributions and future dedicated revenues are anticipated to be applied in future budgets to offset the debt service from the renovation or reconstruction of Lexington H ig h School. • Dedicate New Tax Levy Growth to the Retirement Fund - As discussed in the Budget Overview, $1.06M in unanticipated new tax revenue was dedicated to the Town's Retirement Fund for FY2023. This budget proposes to continue dedicating this ongoing revenue to the Retirement Fund in FY2024, plus the incremental growth of 2.5%. The Board should consider whether to continue setting-aside this funding in future budget cycles, in which case it may be built into the retirement funding schedule. • Appropriate into the Special Education Stabilization Fund - Whether to appropriate $500,000 from Free Cash into the Special Education Stabilization Fund for future unanticipated or extraordinary expenses in Special Education. As discussed above this is equal the appropriated, unexpended amount of SPED Stabilization funds returned to Free Cash at the end of FY2022. • Establish and Appropriate into Special Education (SPED) Reserve Fund - Whether to create and appropriate $750,000 into a Special Education Reserve Fund. This Reserve Fund would supplement the existing SPED Stabilization Fund and may be utilized by affirmative vote of the School Committee and Select Board for unanticipated special education expenses that arise during FY2024. A greater amount of Free Cash is available for appropriation in FY2024 due to a $2.6 million turn-back from the school circuit breaker. • Expand Use of Cash Capital (Free Cash and Tax Levy) - For FY2024, a total of $11,265,007 in Free Cash is recommended to fund capital items with cash rather than by issuing debt, thereby reducing future debt service expenses. Further, this budget proposes to allocate $700,000 of tax levy to support ongoing capital programs. This amount is available due to the decreasing amount of debt service in FY2024 compared to FY2023. Beginning to fund part of the Town's ongoing capital programs with tax levy will allow the town to maintain its assets if lower amounts of Free Cash are available in future years. • Appropriate from the Capital Stabilization Fund for Excluded Debt Service - Whether to appropriate $500,000 from the Capital Stabilization Fund to mitigate excluded debt service. Original projections for FY2024 did not indicate using the CSF to mitigate Exempt debt for FY2024, and projected using $500,000 in FY2025 to mitigate the impact of the Police Station construction project. The current interest rate environment and recommendation of our financial advisors is to accelerate the issuance of a bond for the Police Station into February 2023. Accordingly, the draw from the CSF to mitigate this debt service is also accelerated by one year into FY2024. This recommendation is consistent with previous discussions at Financial Summits to offset the impact of excluded debt on the taxpayers. xiii • Appropriate into the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund - Whether to support the appropriation of $1,985,486 into the OPEB Trust Fund. This amount is comprised of $1,739,721 from free cash, $240,000 made available from the Health Insurance Claims Trust Fund, and $5,765 from Enterprise Funds. FY2024 is the last year the Health Claims Trust funding will be available as the fund will be fully drawn-down after this last appropriation of $240,000. This amount has decreased compared to the $750,000 contribution from the Health Claims Trust over the last several years. This budget proposes to maintain the same funding level as in prior years with the difference being funded from Free Cash. • Unallocated Revenues for Contingencies - The recommended budget includes $750,000 in unallocated revenues sourced from Free Cash which is a one-time revenue source and can be allocated if needed for three primary purposes: 1. To balance the budget if State Aid is less than projected. The Legislature will likely not approve the FY2024 State budget until after the conclusion of Town Meeting; 2. To fund programs, services, capital projects or reserves not currently proposed in this Preliminary Budget; and/or 3. To balance the budget if the GIC health insurance premiums are greater than estimated. The Town's health insurance rates, as established by the Group Insurance Commission (GIC), will not be known until early March. Since the GIC is currently re-procuring its plans, and there are known mergers and cancellations, there is considerably more uncertainty than usual. • Reduce/Eliminate the Use of Free Cash to balance the General Fund Operating Budget - The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends against using non-recurring revenues to balance the operating budget. The Town had used Free Cash to support operations for many years, and in FY2019, Lexington used $3.74 million of free cash (non-recurring revenues) to balance the General Fund operating budget. The Town Manager implemented a phase-out of this practice over a 5-year period which was subsequently completed in FY2023. As currently proposed, the FY2024 budget includes using $395,272 from free cash to support operations, directly related to the large increase in curbside sanitation collection. This is a one-time use of free cash and will not be included in the municipal budget in FY2025. Additional policy considerations to be discussed either during finalization of the FY2024 budget, or in anticipation of future budgets, include the following: • Establishing a Stormwater Enterprise Fund - As discussed in greater detail above, Town staff have been working for the past several years on a proposal to create a Stormwater Enterprise Fund. This is proposed to go before Town Meeting in the Fall of 2023, but will not have a budgetary impact until the FY2025 budget. The Select Board is currently considering methods of mitigating the impact of the new stormwater fee on taxpayers through an in-kind reduction in property taxes for costs that are transferred from the General Fund to the Stormwater Enterprise Fund. xiv Bud et Sched u le g This is a comprehensive budget, including both the Town Manager's recommendations and the Superintendent of School's proposed budget. In keeping with the schedule established by the Select Board, the remaining FY2024 budget dates are proposed to be the following: • �anuary 30, 2023 - Summit IV to review this Preliminary budget; • February 13, 2023 - Select Board to vote recommended FY2024 budget; • February 17, 2023 - The recommended budget will be forwarded, electronically, to the Appropriation Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee and Town Meeting Members. Printed copies to follow the week of March 6tn. • March 20, 2023 - Town Meeting begins and may consider financial articles. xv This Page Intentionally Left Blank. � ' 'r»>r»� �. � ,� ,�,,�,� o ,,� ���� � r�,� ,.,G � � � °� � �,�;� ������� � r� t� � ,,,w �� ��" P�� w': � � � �� �� ��t � ��� ,� ,.

The projected levy is a function of the FY2023 levy limit increased by 2.5% per Proposition 21/z, plus an increment for new growth. FY2024 new growth will be a function of construction activity for the period ]uly 1, 202Z to ]une 30, 2023. FY2024 new growth is estimated at $3,000,000 based on a review of historical data on new growth. Tax Levy Dedicated to Capital Stabilization Fund: In Fall 2021 the Town Manager proposed a new fiscal guideline, a Capital Stabilization Framework, to prepare for future capital projects. Beginning in FY2022, new levy growth generated from specified commercial and industrial development will be dedicated to the Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) rather than becoming general revenue for the town's operating budget. Projects include those with a Preliminary Site Development and Use Plan (PSDUP) approved by Town Meeting, or those eligible for development due to new zoning changes on Hartwell Ave. This framework will reserve levy capacity to absorb a sudden increase in debt service for large capital projects such as a high school construction project in future years. The set-aside funds can also be applied in future years to mitigate exempt debt service created by those capital projects. A list of properties currently subject to this guideline is available in Table 1A. Tax Levy Dedicated to Retirement Fund: In FY2023 Takeda, a large pharmaceutical company in Lexington changed its tax strategy to no-longer claim a personal property tax exemption. This resulted in $1.06M in unanticipated new tax revenue. This new revenue was dedicated to the Town's Retirement Fund for FY2023 via a supplemental appropriation at the Fall 2022 STM-2. This budget FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 II-2 . Secti o n I I Reve n u es Town of Lexin ton, Massachusetts 9 proposes to continue dedicating this ongoing revenue to the Retirement Fund in FY2024, plus the incremental growth of 2.5% for a total of$9,984,800 . Continuing to allocate this revenue to the Retirement Fund in future years will allow the Town to maintain it's the current funding schedule and reach full-funding in FY2030. State Aid: In recent years the Town has received minimal increases in State Aid. This trend is expected to continue in FY2024 and this budget is projecting an overall increase of 1.40%. The State is still developing its FY2024 budget, and the Governor's initial FY2024 State aid numbers are not expected until later in January 2023. Final figure are likely to be known in June 2023 when the Legislature adopts, and the Governor signs, the FY2024 State budget. Local Receipts: FY2024 projections for each category of receipt are based on the history of actual collections and projections of 3 and 5 year historical averages, with some adjustments to specific categories due to the pandemic, such as Other Excise - Meals and Hotel/Motel. FY2024 local receipts are estimated to increase by approximately $733,659 or 5.30% over FY2023 estimates, which were adjusted downward due to pandemic recovery. The main contributors to this growth are Other Excise which are now trending close to pre-pandemic levels, and an increase in revenues for permits, particularly building permits which will benefit from commercial and residential growth. Available Funds: Available Funds are projected to remain relatively stable, with a decrease of $(53,592), or (0.31)%. FY2024 reflects a decrease in two ongoing available funds that supported operations in prior years. First, the transfer of $240,000 from the Health Claims Trust Fund to fund the Town's Other Post Employment Benefit Fund is down compared to $750,000 in FY2023. This transfer represents the remaining balance in the Health Claims Trust Fund. Second, the transfer from the PEG Access Fund is decreasing due to a decline in cable franchise fees as residents move from cable to streaming platforms. The Select Board has committed to funding Public Access television, and this decreasing transfer from the PEG Access Fund represents the amount of General Fund support for this service. The decrease in available funds is partly offset by a projected increase in Free Cash, and a $100,000 transfer from the Parking Meter Fund. Free Cash is currently estimated and is under review by the Department of Revenue. Staff expect a Free Cash to be certified before the final Recommended Budget is published. The balance of the Parking Meter Fund has decreased significantly in the last three years due to the temporary cessation of parking meter enforcement to support businesses and less traffic during the pandemic and Center Streetscape project. The Town has recently started to enforce parking fees which will rebuild the balance in the Parking Fund. Consistent with prior years, FY2024 Available Funds includes a transfer of$171,000 from the Transportation Demand Management Stabilization Fund to finance the Lexpress service and the Town's contribution to the REV Shuttle. Revenue Offsets: Revenue Offsets are projected to increase by approximately $440,244 or 23.14%. Revenue Offsets represent the set-aside of a portion of projected revenues legally required for particular purposes including: (1) the component of state aid (Public Library aid reimbursement) that is distributed as Cherry Sheet aid, but, in fact, is a categorical grant that is not available to support General Fund operations; (2) cherry sheet assessments - estimated charges to be levied by the Commonwealth to cover the costs of state and regional services provided to the Town, based on updated projections issued alongside the Governor's budget; FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 II-3 . Secti o n I I Reve n u es Town of Lexin ton, Massachusetts 9 (3) the Assessor's Overlay account which covers the cost of abatements and exemptions granted to property taxpayers; and (4) potential snow and ice deficits. The FY2024 increase in total Revenue Offsets is driven by the set-aside of$400,000 in estimated FY2024 revenue to cover a potential snow and ice deficit at the end of FY2023. For FY2023, $400,000 was set-aside, but was ultimately not needed since actual FY2022 snow and ice removal expenses fell with i n thei r budgeted levels. Enterprise Receipts: This category of revenue represents transfers from the Water, Sewer and Recreation Enterprise Funds to the General Fund to cover General Fund expenditures that support the operations of the water, sewer and recreation departments. Overall Enterprise Receipts are increasing by 4.9%, or $88,454. Water and Sewer transfers are increasing by 5.0%, as supported by a detailed indirect analysis completed by Finance. The Recreation indirect charge was paused in FY2022 due to the pandemic and a significant decrease in operations. This charge resumed in FY2023 and will continue into FY2024. . . .

As we establish the FY24 school budget, it would be foolhardy to pretend that pandemic education could cost the same as it has in years past. If ever there were a year for an infusion of funding to stabilize the school budget, this is it. Students continue to experience the lingering effects of unfinished learning, needing increasingly more intervention and support. We are in the midst of a "tripledemic," with the influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),and COVID-19 creating unanticipated,ongoing student and staff needs. In addition to these challenges,there is a nationwide labor shortage, and finding talented educators to support all students especially those with higher needs requires more resources. By the Numbers A "rainy day fund" is a budget stabilization set aside for unanticipated expenses. As we prepare the FY24 school budget,the truth of the matter is this: it's not raining, it's pouring, and we need more resources to get through these challenges now and in the future.We are committed to increasing capital stabilization funds for a new high school, and we will continue to do our part.At the same time, our student needs are increasing, and the need for additional resources is an inconvenient but unavoidable truth. The Lexington Public Schools FY24 budget allocation is lean, and this is our most challenging year yet. We will continue to collaborate with our Town partners to find ways to add flexibility to the budgetary process, along with the resources necessary to deliver the services our students need. The amount we requested during the Budget Summit is the minimum amount we need in the FY24 allocation to continue the services from the previous year. The $133,238,120 represents a 3.89% increase from the previous year, and we have worked with our municipal counterparts to increase special education stabilization funding. The proposed FY24 school budget accounts for all anticipated contractual increases, as well as the negotiated increases for five of our six bargaining units. A History o f Healthy"Turn backs" Each year for the past several years, we managed to return several million dollars to the Town of Lexington. Last year, we received an infusion of federal funds that we expended first, enabling us to return well over $6.6 million to the Town, reverting to free cash.This year is drastically different and pandemic-related needs are increasing rapidly; therefore, a portion of these funds will be returned to the school system in the form of special education stabilization. Our students are counting on us to provide the additional resources they need to overcome the challenges brought on by the pandemic. The proposed FY24 school budget will help us maintain the academic excellence our families have come to expect. There isn't a community in the nation that believes more strongly in public education than the residents of Lexington, Massachusetts. We know that we can count on you, as we navigate a rather challenging FY24 school budget process. Many thanks in advance for all your support. Sincerely, � � �� Julie L. Hackett, Ed.D.

School Committee Members Sara Cuthbertson, Chair Term Expires: 2023 Deepika Sawhney,Vice-Chair Term Expires: 2024 Kathleen Lenihan, Clerk Term Expires: 2024 Eileen Jay Term Expires: 2025 Larry Freeman Term Expires: 2025 Budget Development Budget Process Annually, the administration develops its capital and operating budgets, which begin July 1 and end June 30. This highly collaborative and public process engages the School Committee, the Select Board, the Appropriation Committee, the Capital Expenditures Committee, municipal and school staff, and citizens. The employees of the Finance Office are responsible for coordinating, developing, and monitoring the annual budget process. Each year, the School Committee develops its annual goals, budget guidelines, and budget calendar. These provide the administration with the roadmap to develop the recommended annual budget. The Superintendent is tasked with developing a budget that advances the district in concert with the outlined policy objectives.The School Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget for incorporation within the complete Town budget. Major Steps in FY 2024 Budget Development: Summer: School Committee and Superintendent establish Collective Goals. Early Fall: School Committee approves annual budget guidelines and calendar. Fall: Staff develop budget recommendations. Late Fall/Early Winter: All departments meet with the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations to review existing staffing levels, review budget priorities, and discuss anticipated budget requests. During this time, a series of working summit meetings including the School Committee,the Select Board,the Appropriation Committee, and the Capital Expenditures Committee are conducted to discuss the current financial health of the Town, along with any budgetary issues, and provide policy guidance to the municipal and school staff in finalizing budget recommendations. The Superintendent, in consultation with the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations and the School Department's Administrative Council, reviews budget requests and makes recommendations for all school programs to the School Committee. The School Committee takes the recommendations of the Superintendent and after public hearings on the Superintendent's Budget Recommendations, makes final budget decisions consistent with their collective goals. Lexington Public Schools as of January 3, 2023 Budget Overview 4 FY 2024 Superintendent's Recommended Budget Early Spring: Before Town Meeting members discuss financial articles, the approved budget of the School Committee is distributed to Town Meeting members and the finance committees; it also is available to citizens at the Library and the Town Manager's Office. In addition, the budget documents are publicly available on the Lexington Public Schools website: https://bit.l�, 24budqet. Spring: The Annual Town Meeting begins in March with meetings held on weekday evenings. Town Meeting debates and adopts the School Department budget as part of the complete Town budget. Town Meeting has authority over the total appropriation of school department funds, but line-item authority and spending priorities are the purview of the School Committee. Budget Guidelines On September 27, 2022, the School Committee was presented the FY 2024 Budget Guidelines and requested that the Superintendent present a level-service budget that attempts to address the eleven highlighted areas. These guidelines serve as the basis for the Superintendent's Recommended Budget in FY 2024. For purposes of clarification, a level-service budget is defined as an allocation of the funds necessary to replicate the current level of services provided, accommodating changes in enrollment, all legal requirements, including current collective bargaining requirements, and special education laws. The FY 2024 budget guidelines are as follows: In order to provide for the educational needs of Lexington students, the Superintendent of Schools will develop a fiscal year 2024 budget that will: 1. Ensure the safety, security,and social-emotional well-being of our students,and continue the Town's joint effort on mental health. 2. Ensure all legal and contractual mandates are met. 3. Ensure professional staffing guidelines will be met and class sizes will remain within the established guidelines, to the extent possible given space and personnel limitations. 4. Identify efficiencies and cost-saving measures that do not compromise the educational program. 5. Include sufficient operating and capital funds to: a. continue the current level of services; b. be responsive to projected enrollment changes and corresponding needs, including those related to staffing, instructional supplies, and facilities; c. move the district forward in meeting the increasing technological demands in various educational settings; and d. continue to monitor and update a master capital plan to expand school capacity and meet changing enrollment. 6. Maintain capital assets in order to support the instructional program, protect the physical assets of the Town of Lexington, and ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.

The current FY 2024 School Department Recommended Budget is $133,238,120, an increase of$4,983,673 (3.89% over FY 2023). For FY 2024 the salaries and wages line is increased by $4,915,027 (4.62%) to support existing positions plus an additional 13.43 FTEs to satisfy enrollment and mandate requirements. Salaries and wages comprise over 83% of the School Department budget. The expense line is recommended to decrease by $142,989 (-0.89%) over the FY 2023 appropriation, a small but significant reduction from previous years. In order to achieve this, we are relying more heavily on some departmental offset accounts. Negotiated Salary Increases The FY 2024 budget includes funding for estimated wage increases for all collective bargaining units and non-union positions, including step increases and cost of living

In this version, future kindergarten enrollments are based on a non-linear regression that incorporates 40 years of historical kindergarten enrollments. Average grade-to-grade progression rates are then applied to the rest of the grades. See �� ��� � vu ���� ��u°� �� for more information. Projections also include 90% confidence intervals, reflecting the inherent uncertainty associated with projections.Correct interpretation of intervals is that there is a 90%chance that the confidence interval contains the true value of future enrollment. It is recommended that plans based on projections consider this confidence interval and incorporate appropriate flexibility. LPS will continue to monitor enrollment very closely and strongly encourage those engaged in planning that considers multiple possible future scenarios when possible. lJpd�ted �r�rollrr�er�t pr�j�cti�r�s �nd c�nfid�nc� ir�t�rv�ls ar� surr►rr►�rized in T�ble 7, C�istrict-vvid�, Lexir�gtc�r�'s �lerr�ent�ry �r�r�llrr��nt is pr�j��t�d tc� d�cre�s� c���r tl�e n�xt thr�e y��rs, Tvu� prirr��ry f�ct�rs ir�p��tir�g futur� gr�vvth at tl�is lev�l �r� the size �f th� ir�c�rr�ir�g kinderg�rt�n cl�sses �r�d the siz� c�f th� �utg�ing upp�r �I�rn�nt�ry ��horts, Th� r�c�nt srr7�ll�r siz� �f kinderg�rt�n �I�sses corr�bin�d vvith �orr�p�r�tiv�ly I�rger�I�rrr�ent�ry�I�sses rr�c�ving to rr�iddl� s�hc��l� �ven vvith cor�tinu�d ����rt grovuth thrc�ugh �lenn�nt�ry, results Lexington Public Schools as of January 3, 2023 Budget Overview 18 FY 2024 Superintendent's Recommended Budget s � o , � , — , � � d Table 7: What Is The LPS's Forecasted Enrollment? ��n�,� ����� ��u� ' • - -• , uuuu - ,,�r� uuuu % � uuuu UVi� uuuu OUu uuuu IOU,11II+r uuuu Illu �rr+rc, I �uD, Il�uu,�r ���a��l�� ��,�m0(I ��nn�ll(Il��am IO,r�lfl ljffffOc • 1��1����i�r��� ��� ��� IJ�J������1i�r����� 1���������rrrr���r� �� � ��� w������ ,���°°��� ����� � ��� � ���� ���� � ���� , , ii„�,,,,,,„��� ,,,ii,,,,,/ °111��� ,,,,ii,,,,, �„�,� ����w� '�I �'� ` �I������ � ��� ' ������ ' ����° ����W`�� ' �I °�� °lll �..

In addition, adult students can pursue a variety of continuing education programs at Minuteman. Lexington's historical enrollment at Minuteman is shown in the table below as of October 1st of each year, the date that enrollments from school districts throughout the Commonwealth are reported to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 10/1/2017 10/1/2018 10/1/2019 10/1/2020 10/1/2021 10/1/2022 High School Students 53.5 52 62 71 68 77 Post Graduate Students* 1 1 4 0 0 0 *Beginning in FY2021, Minuteman began offering Minuteman Technical Institute(MTI)for post-secondary students. MTI students pay tuition directly to Minuteman; it had previously been included in the assessment. Two Lexington residents are enrolled in MTI in FY2022. Appropriated/Authorized Staffing: No Town staff are charged to this budget. Budget Recommendations The FY2024 projected budget for the Minuteman Regional High School assessment is $3,505,042, an increase $281,144 or 8.72% from the FY2023 budget. This is a preliminar�r figure, as the district is still developing its FY2024 budget. Minuteman will hold a public budget hearing on ]anuary 24, 2023, and the Town expects to receive a final FY2024 assessment ahead of publishing the final Recommended Budget. The assessment incorporates $929,570 in debt service, a decrease of$(87,582) or (8.6)%. Debt for the new school building that opened in September 2019 has been issued, and Minuteman projects that future debt requirements will gradually reduce as debt is paid down.

Budget Overview: Included in the Employee Benefits and Insurance program are costs for the Town's pension assessment, workers'compensation, unemployment insurance, health, dental and life insurance benefits and the Medicare tax. Employee Benefits is comprised of the following: • Contri butory Reti rement Assessment: The assessment of the Lexi ngton Contri butory Retirement System levied to the Town to finance a portion of retirement benefits of Town and non-teaching School employees. This assessment is issued pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) Chapter 32 and is based on an actuarial valuation of the funding obligations of the Lexington Contributory Retirement System. In addition to this assessment, employee contri butions - ra ng i ng from 5% to 11% depend i ng on date of h i re - provide the majority of pension system fu nd i ng. • Non-Contributory Retirement: The cost of benefits for employees who retired prior to the creation of the Lexington Contributory Retirement System. Beginning in FY2023 the Town no- longer has any non-contributory retirees. • Employee/Retiree Benefits: The Town's annual contribution for health, dental and life insurance for active Municipal and School Department employees and retirees, and the Town's 1.45% share of Medicare tax for all employees hired after 1986. • Unemployment Compensation: The cost of unemployment payments for eligible employees separated from Municipal or School Department employment. The Town self-insures for this expense. • Workers' Compensation: The medical costs incurred by Municipal and School employees injured on the job, and medical costs of former public safety employees who retired on accidental disability. The Town largely self-insures for this expense, but purchases��stop loss" insurance for extraordinary work-related medical claims. The premiums for that insurance are captured in the Workers' Compensation budget. Authorized/Appropriated Staffing: Staff support is provided through the Town Manager's Office, Human Resources and the Finance Department. Portions of the salaries of four employees are charged to the General Fund health insurance budget. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 IV-3 Program: Shared Expenses 2100 Em �O ee Benefits & Insurance Townof�exin ton MA a y �► , Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommended All Funds Employee Benefits and Insurance budget is $45,550,598. This is a $2,615,488 or 6.09% increase from the FY2023 budget. The recommended budget includes the benefits costs (health, dental, life, Medicare and workers' compensation) for all municipal and school staff and retirees as of November 1, 2022. Chanqes Include: 1. A $765,550, or 8.30% increase in Contributory Retirement based on the approved funding schedule from the January 1, 2021 actuarial valuation of the Lexington Retirement System, plus an amount of dedicated tax levy new growth. In FY2023, $1,060,000 of new levy growth from Takeda personal property taxes was dedicated to the Pension Fund. This amount, plus an increase of 2.5% per year will continue to be set-aside to the Pension Fund in future years. The dedicated tax levy plus growth for FY2024 is $9,984,800. For FY2024, $400,000 is funded from Free Cash, which is the same level of Free Cash funding as in FY2023. The Retirement system's unfunded liability is expected to be funded by 2030, given the current actuarial assumptions. 2. Beginning in FY2023 the Town no longer has Non-Contributory Retirement costs. 3. A $134,099 or 6.53% increase in the Town's contribution for the Medicare Tax based on FY2022 actual costs, projected FY2023 and FY2024 salaries and wages, new municipal positions, and historical rates of increase in this item. 4. A $1,835,478 or 6.21% increase in health insurance costs (General Fund). The FY2024 budget is based on an increase of 7.0% in health insurance premiums across all plans at November 2022 enrollment levels, and the projected addition of eighty (80) subscribers (new enrollees to health coverage, either from new retirees, active employees electing to begin or resume coverage, and active employees switching from individual to family plans). 5. A $(5,864) or (0.53)% decrease in dental insurance costs (General Fund) based on a slight decrease in premium rates for FY2024 as compared to originally budgeted FY23 rates, further updated to reflect November 2022 enrollment levels. 6. No increase in life insurance costs based on projected enrollments. 7. Level-funding of unemployment insurance based on the revised budget of $200,000, which is reflective of average claim activity. 8.

Budget Overview: For the solar arrays installed at the Hartwell Avenue Compost Facility, Eversource elected to reimburse the Town for the solar power generated via monthly payments, rather than issue a credit on the Town's electric bills. For the rooftop solar panels on Town and School buildings, that energy is credited in the monthly bill, thereby reducing utility costs at the Department of Public Facilities. As a means of separately tracking the Hartwell Avenue arrangement, this budget division reflects: • Net Meterinq Credits: The revenues received from Eversource in return for solar power generated at Hartwell Avenue. Any excess revenues are deposited into the General Fund. • Solar Producer Payments: The annual amount paid to Syncarpha, the current owner of the solar panels, for the cost of construction and operating costs. Authorized/Appropriated Staffing: No direct staff is charged to this line-item. Staff support is provided through the Public Facilities, Town Manager and Finance departments. Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 overall recommendation for Solar Producer Payments is $390,000, which is level-funded from the FY2023 appropriation.

FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 IV-11 Program: Shared Expenses 2400 Debt Service Town of Lexin ton MA 9 � Mission: To manage the issuance of Town debt in a manner which protects assets that are required to deliver town services and yet limits large increases or decreases in annual debt service. Budget Overview: Debt service includes General Fund principal and interest payments for levy- supported (non-exempt) debt, both authorized by Town Meeting, as well as for capital projects being proposed to the 2023 Annual Town Meeting. Debt service on projects funded from the Compost Revolving Fund is shown in the DPW Budget element 34Z0; and debt service for Water and Sewer Enterprise projects is shown in the DPW Budget under elements 3610 and 3710, respectively. Debt Service voted to be exempt from Proposition 21/2, while not appropriated by Town Meeting, is presented for informational purposes. Authorized/Appropriated Staffing: There is no direct staff charged to this line-item. Staff support for managing debt service is provided through the Town Manager and Finance departments. Budget Recommendations: Total gross debt service (before mitigation) is increasing by $944,580, or 4.06% compared to FY2023 which reflects a decrease in within levy debt service offset by a larger increase in exempt debt service. Within-Levy debt service of $6,851,036 is decreasing by $(403,473), or (5.56)% as existing debt on older projects has been fully paid-off. In recent years the Town has increased the cash capital program and accordingly reduced the issuance of new within-levy debt. Lower debt service expense reduces interest costs and creates capacity within the tax levy to fund future capital projects with cash. The Town will continue to issue new within levy debt to meet ongoing capital needs when cash financing is not available. FY2024 gross exempt debt service is projected at $17,356,438, a increase of $1,348,053, or 8.42% compared to FY2023 gross exempt debt service. The increase in FY2024 exempt debt service is primarily due to new bonds that will be issued in February 2023 to fund the construction of the new Police Station. To mitigate the impact of this increase on Lexington taxpayers, it is proposed that $500,000 of Capital Stabilization Funds be appropriated to offset exempt debt service in FY2024. Net exempt debt service in FY2024 (after mitigation) is projected to be $16,856,438. The Town is preparing for a new or renovated Lexington High School in the coming years. This process and timing are driven by the schedule outlined by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The Town expects that a future debt exclusion vote will be proposed for the costs of design and construction for the High School Building project. The FY2024 proposed capital projects are described in greater detail in Section XI: Capital Investment in this Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget and Financing Plan.

Budget Overview: The Reserve Fund (General Fund) is under the jurisdiction of the Appropriation Committee. Funds may be utilized for extraordinary and/or unforeseen expenses in any given fiscal year. If not utilized, the budget in this account reverts to Free Cash at the end of the fiscal year. Authorized/Appropriated Staffing: There is no direct staff charged to this line-item. Staff support is provided through the Town Manager and Finance departments. Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommendation for the Reserve Fund is $750,000, which is level funded compared to the original FY2023 appropriation. In Fall 2022, the Town moved public safety communication equipment from the Police Station at 1575 Massachusetts Ave, to a temporary location at 173 Bedford St. while the new Police Stations is being constructed. The old communication equipment was not compatible with the infrastructure at the temporary location and our Police and Fire Departments began to experience radio communication problems. The Town requested a transfer for the full $750,000 Reserve Fund to replace this public safety communication equipment. Subsequently, Fall 2022-3 Special Town Meeting, appropriated $500,000 from tax l evy new growth into the Reserve Fund to cover any additional extraordinary and unforeseen expenses for the remainder of FY2023. The revised Reserve Fund appropriation for FY2023 is $1,250,000, and to-date, no further transfers have been made from the Reserve Fund for FY2023. Notes: The FY2021 and FY2022 budgets for the Reserve Fund were $750,000 in each year. • In FY2021, $15,000 was transferred to the Conservation Division to allow them to respond to a Letter of Map Revision from the Town of Belmont. • In FY2022, $174,000 was transferred to the Recreation Department to address a drainage issue at Pine Meadows Golf Course. An equal amount was transferred back to the Reserve Fund from the Enterprise Fund at annual Town Meeting.

The recommended budget is a $898,036, or 6.58% increase from the FY2023 budget. The Department of Public Facilities FY2024 recommended General Fund operating budget, inclusive of the Education Facilities, Municipal Facilities and Shared Facilities divisions, is $13,950,503, which is a $881,196, or 6.74% increase from the FY2023 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $6,777,986, and reflects a $316,730 or 4.90% increase, which provides contractually obligated and projected step increases and cost of living increases for AFSCME, and the SEIU contract that expired June 30, 2021. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $7,172,517 and reflects a $564,466, or 8.54% increase. This reflects an overall increase in the cost of cleaning materials and other supplies, contract labor and utilities. For FY2024, Utilities are increasing by $424,976 or 10.84%. A project to add extensive solar panels and batteries to seven school buildings is expected to be complete by the summer of 2023. Staff have incorporated projected solar savings into the FY2024 budget, however, there should be greater clarity and refinement of the impact of solar during the development of future budgets, once the panels have been in operation for a full year. The FY2024 Facilities Department recommended Building Rental Revolving Fund budget is $602,066, an increase of $16,840 or 2.88%, which is attributable to increases in wages, staff overtime and benefits charged to this account.

The Division also provides educational materials on ways to reduce solid waste, increase recycling and composting, and reduce the toxicity of the waste stream. Budget Overview: The Environmental Services Division includes Refuse Collection and Disposal, Recycling, Yard Waste and Appliance/Electronic Waste. Refuse collection is the curbside collection of non-recyclable residential solid waste and the separate collection of large appliances and yard waste. Recycling is the curbside collection of recyclable products, management of yard waste operations at the Hartwell Avenue Compost Facility, operation of the Minuteman Household Hazardous Products regional facility and curbside collection of televisions, computer monitors and other electronics (CRT's) and drop-off of corrugated cardboard. The Town entered into a 5-year contract for the collection of trash and recyclables with E. L. Harvey & Sons, Inc. beginning July 1, 2018 running through June 30, 20Z3. The Town solicited proposals for a new refuse and recycling collection contract beginning in FY2024 and price proposals increased substantially compared to the current contract. The final refuse and recycling collection contract is under negotiation and will be determined in the coming weeks. This preliminary budget incorporates expected price i ncreases. Further, this Preliminary Budget proposes the establishment of a Refuse Collection Revolving Fund and implementing a fee for collection and disposal of bulky items and white goods. In prior years, collection and disposal of these large items was included in the the Town's Refuse Collection budget with regular curbside collection at no additional cost to the user. However, the proposed increase for refuse collection necessitates a change in services. Creating a Refuse Collection Revolving Fund will allow the Town to pass-through the collection and disposal expense for large items to the user. Fees would be set a level that would cover the Town's contracted expense, plus a small administrative fee. The Town is also currently under contract with Wheelabrator in North Andover for refuse disposal through June 30, 2025. Division Initiatives: 1. Continue to support programs to divert organics from residential trash. Since May 2018, DPW has provided over 1,000 specialized green carts to residents participating in a food scraps program. Lexington Public Schools divert approximately 100 tons of organics throughout the school year. 2. Continue to assess markets and pricing for compost, loam, leaf, bark mulch and yard waste disposal permits. 3. Continue to support Zero Waste activities and programs, to promote waste reduction programs at public events such as Discovery Day, community fairs and other events. 4. Complete implementation of DPW yard/compost facility operation's plan including gate installation, security and conservation improvements. 5. Explore and implement new revenue opportunities.

Budget Overview: The Water Division budget is comprised of Water Operations, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) purchases and indirect support from the General Fund. The Water Operations maintains and repairs the water system that delivers water to Lexington homes and businesses through 154 miles of water mains, 1,747 fire hydrants and two water towers that store 3.24 million gallons of water. The Town has a three-block inclining rate structure to encourage water conservation. As a customer uses more water, the water rate for the additional units increases. Customers are billed twice per year. The Town also sells water to the Town of Bedford at the MWRA wholesale rate plus an administrative fee. The MWRA provides water to Lexington and greater Boston. Indirect support from the General Fund reflects Water Enterprise Fund expenses (benefits, insurance and engineering support) that are appropriated in the General Fund. The Water Enterprise Fund, therefore, reimburses the General Fund for these expenses through an indirect cost transfer. In FY2024, the Water Enterprise Fund will contribute to the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund in a funding level that matches the contributions of the General Fund. Depa rtmenta I I n itiatives: 1. Continue with the Hydrant Maintenance Program. 2. Continue implementation of the Automatic Meter Reading Infrastructure System (AMI). 3. Continue working on a valve/hydrant maintenance and/or backflow/cross connection program. 4. Continue to evaluate water usage, to move towards conservation efforts.

FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 V-26 . Program: Public Works 3600 Water Enter 1'ISe Town of�exin ton, MA p g Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommended Water operating budget is $13,727,989, inclusive of indirect costs. The recommended budget reflects a $1,020,752 or 8.03% increase from the FY2023 budget. The budget for Compensation is $892,639, and reflects a $16,969 or 1.94% increase, which is attributable to the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments in the contract with Public Works staff, as well as a program improvement to upgrade one Heavy Equipment Operator Position to a Leadman Position. The budget for Expenses is $577,500 which is an increase of $44,000, or 8.25% from FY2023, and is primarily due to an increase in Software Maintenance ($68,000), which reflects 54% of the cost for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System, with the remaining 46% in the Sewer Enterprise budget. The software cost was partly offset by a decrease in Meter Supplies due to the success of the AMI meter replacement program. In FY2021, a new budget category of Cash Capital was initiated to begin to transition the ongoing water main replacement program to being funded directly by user charges instead of debt financing. This is the third year of an 11-year transition to move the entire $2,200,000 annual program to cash financing. In doing so, rate payers will save a considerable amount on interest costs in the long-term. The FY2024 recommendation for cash capital is $800,000. Debt service is recommended to decrease by $(123,811) or (10.11)%. The preliminary MWRA Assessment is $9,342,814, which is a $849,347 or 10.00% increase from FY2023. The final assessment will be issued in June 2023. In FY2024, it is recommended that the Water Enterprise Fund continue contributing to the Other Post- Employment Benefits Trust Fund, which was initiated in FY2018. Indirect payments to the General Fund for those costs borne by the General Fund in support of water operations are projected at $1,011,340, an increase of $34,247 or 3.50%.

The budget for Expenses is $517,400, an increase of $59,000 or 12.87%, which reflects anticipated inflationary increases for electricity, supplies and materials, and a increase in Software Maintenance ($58,000), which reflects 46% of the cost for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System. The software cost was partly offset by a decrease in Meter Supplies due to the success of the AMI meter replacement program. In FY2021, a new budget category of Cash Capital was initiated to begin to transition the ongoing sanitary sewer main replacement program to being funded directly by user charges instead of debt financing. This is the third year of a 10-year transition to move the entire $1,000,000 annual program to cash financing. In doing so, rate payers will save a considerable amount on interest costs in the long-term. The FY2024 recommendation for cash capital is $400,000. Debt service is recommended to decrease by $(75,497) or (4.73)%. The preliminary MWRA Assessment is $9,349,530, which is a $849,957 or 10% increase from FY2023. The fi na I assessment wi I I be issued i n J u ne 2023. In FY2024, it is recommended that the Sewer Enterprise Fund continue contributing to the Other Post- Employment Benefits Trust Fund, which was initiated in FY2018. Indirect payments to the General Fund for those costs borne by the General Fund in support of sewer operations are projected at $588,040, a increase of $45,624 or 8.41%.

The budget for Compensation is $7,868,662 and reflects an increase of $699,355 or 9.75%, which is a net increase that reflects contractually obligated step increases as well as cost of living and stipend increases for contracts that expired. 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 budget for Expenses is $1,182,668 and reflects an increase of $86,598 or 7.90%. The majority of the increase is due to the purchase of additional Hybrid vehicles in our fleet along with the costs associated to transfer and/or upgrade the equipment to fabricate these vehicles for Police use. There were minor increased costs due to general inflation as well as a decrease in costs mainly in contractual services; CodeRed was transferred to the Town Manager's budget and there were a decrease in costs associated with meter and credit card transaction fees.

Budget Overview: Cary Memorial Library is comprised of three divisions: Administration and General Services, Adult Services, and Youth Services. • Administration and General Services includes administrative staff and webmaster salaries, as well as the supply, equipment, and Minuteman Library Network membership costs. • Adult Services includes all adult library, technology, and bibliographic services staff as well as adult books and audiovisual materials. • Youth Services includes all children's library staff and also includes library materials for children and teens. Departmental Initiatives: Our Guiding Principles 1. Books, information, and so much more: We continue our 150-year-long tradition of providing books and other materials that reflect the needs and interests of Lexington residents. Though much has changed since our doors first opened in 1869, our essential function remains the same - to bring the world of information and ideas to you. 2. At the intersection of learning, making, and play: In recent years, educational research has increasingly shown that we learn best through experience - by making mistakes and trying again. In furthering this effort, we are expanding these types of learning opportunities, giving you more chances to build, create and play. 3. A place that works for everyone: We value the rich diversity of our community, and our commitment to equitable service for all is unwavering. Efforts to identify and remove barriers to access are ongoing - we are a work in progress. 4. With opportunities for human connection: In a world where technology is ever-present, we are committed to fostering human interactions. Sometimes that is as simple as providing comfortable chairs for a serendipitous meeting between old friends. Other times it takes the shape of an elaborate event with community partners and hundreds of guests. Large and small, these moments, shared among neighbors, strengthen the social fabric of Lexington. 5.

Budget Overview: The Department operates as an Enterprise Fund whereby program and facility fees must cover the direct cost of operations including all full- and part-time staff and program, services and facility expenses including supplies, equipment, utilities and wages/overhead. As such, the operating budget may increase or decrease year to year to meet changes in enrollment and facility use demands. The Director of Recreation and Community Programs, through the Recreation Committee, sets program fees with the approval of the Select Board. The operating budget supports staff who manage and deliver programs along with the supplies and equipment needed to operate those programs and services in addition to seven full-time staff. The Enterprise Fund is comprised of four divisions: Recreation, Pine Meadows Golf Club, Community Center and the Administrative Division. The Administrative Division was created in FY2020 to centralize administrative support for the business aspects within the Recreation, Pine Meadows and Community Center operations. Program revenues (Recreation, Pine Meadows Golf Club and Community Center) also help fund Capital Improvement Projects. In FY2024, the Department's contribution to the General Fund to cover the costs of employee benefits and indirect services has been reintroduced. Staff will be working to provide options for alternative funding models for the Department to the Fiscal Guideline Working Group. That model may be implemented as soon as FY2024. The Department offers a wide variety of leisure, socialization and recreational opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities.

FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 VII-11 Program: Culture &Recreation 5200 Recreation & Communi PI'O I'aI�1S Town of�exin ton MA �/ 9 g , Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommended budget for the Department of Recreation and Community Programs - comprised of four divisions: Pine Meadows Golf, Recreation, Community Center and Administrative - is $3,566,436. The recommended budget is an increase of $141,339 or 4.13% from the FY2023 budget. It should be noted that the Recreation and Community Programs Department operating budget has historically been supported solely from program fees. In FY2016, with the opening of the Community Center, the tax levy began to contribute the equivalent of the wages and benefits for the three full-time employees who are most closely involved with managing the Community Center operations and programming. This will continue in FY2024, with $256,675 being proposed in General Fund support of Community Center wages. The Community Center provides free drop-in programs and opportunities to promote social, emotional, and cognitive well-being and wellness for residents of all ages and abilities. It provides residents with a wide variety of programs that are fun, educational and life-enriching. The Community Center provides opportunities and access to all residents that are generally not supported through fees, in addition to many programs, activities and services that may require a fee. The customer service counter at the Center supports the Community Center, including the operations of the Human Services and the Recreation & Community Programs Departments, allowing for one-stop shopping for services and programs. The recommended budget for Compensation is $1,682,935, which is a $115,182 or 7.35% increase from the FY2023 budget, and reflects a return to more comprehensive programming, as well as step increases, cost-of-living adjustments, and a rate increase for Seasonal staff commensurate with the January 2023 state minimum wage increase. The recommended budget for Expenses is $1,588,814 and reflects a $17,574 or 1.12% increase from the FY2023 budget, primarily due to the introduction of new programming and the ability to resume offering a wide, diverse and accessible variety of in-person and virtual recreational programming for the community, post-pandemic.

Budget Overview: Beginning in FY2024, the Public Health Office will become a separate Town department to better reflect the vital importance of Local Public Health, and will no longer be a division of what is now called the Land Use, Housing and Development Department (Program 7000). The Health Department manages disease prevention and surveillance programs designed to protect the health of the community. Programs include but are not limited to public health education, infectious disease surveillance and case investigation activities, oversight and enforcement of all state and local community health and environmental health regulations, mosquito-borne disease prevention efforts, public vaccination clinics, and public health emergency planning and response efforts. The Health Department staff is comprised of the Health Director, an Assistant Health Director, a Health Agent, a Public Health Nurse, and an Administrative Assistant. Division Initiatives: 1. Continue to monitor Covid-19 in the community, to continue to be a resource for COVID 19 education and to offer services such as vaccine and booster. 2. Continue to review all the local Board of Health regulations, and update as necessary, to coincide with current State and Federal regulations, standards and best practices. Research and develop new regulations as necessary. 3. Continue to enhance customer service satisfaction and improve staff efficiency by updating Board of Health permit applications in ViewPoint Cloud. Implement new inspection software and tablets which will decrease reliance on paper forms and allow for more efficient and accurate record keeping. 4. Continue involvement with the 4A Medical Reserve Corps transition team working to disband the existing non-functioning MRC into 3 smaller more sustainable units. Submit Federal application for the new Central Middlesex MRC as Chair of the unit transition team. Offer preparedness trainings and classes such as Stop the Bleed and Behavioral First Aid. 5. Evaluate and expand Clinical Public Health programs such as expansion of adult and pediatric vaccine availability, CPR/First Aid, collaborate with Human Services Health Outreach Clinician to expand services to Elders, and collaborate with other clinical partners in the community. 6. Expand the working relationship with the Lexington public and private schools, administration and school nursing services. Become a partner and resource for programming and collaboration to enhance our shared commitment to the health and well being of our youth. 7. Evaluate and expand the Environmental focus of the Health Office by offering or sponsoring trainings, certifications or education, such as ServSafe for food establishments, septic/cesspool maintenance, well water testing, mosquito/tick safety. 8. Research grants and other financial opportunities to enhance and expand functions of the Health Office such as the FDA Voluntary Retail Food Grant, Public Health Excellence Grants, NAACHO grants for the MRC, or other opportunities offered by the Office of Local and Regional Health of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. 9. Strive to make the Health Department more visible and accessible to residents, businesses and staff as a reference, resource and trusted municipal partner.

The recommended budget is a $111,943 or 20.62% increase from the FY2023 budget. The FY2024 recommended Health General Fund operating budget is $524,813, which is a $66,943 or 14.62% increase from the FY2023 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $426,513 and reflects a $66,943 or 18.62% increase due to the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments, as well as the transfer of the Administrative Assistant from Land Use, Housing and Development.

The Department included those offices that manage and promote residential and commercial development in Lexington while protecting the health and safety of residents through local bylaws and regulations, as well as state statutes and regulations, in the areas of building code, zoning, wetland protection, planning, economic development, housing and land-use. This structure enabled the Town to further streamline code enforcement, program and policy development, and outreach and educational activities related to commercial, residential and public development and local public health. In recent years the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted vital importance of local public health, and in 2022 the Town Manager conducted an organization study of the Town's departmental structure. Based on that evaluation, the Health Department will become a stand-alone Town department, with the Health Director joining Senior Management Team. The Health Department has been removed from the Land Use Health and Development's FY2024 budget, and is now separately reflected under Program 6500. Further, Lexington's commitment to Affordable Housing goals has come to the forefront of the Town's initiatives. Going forward 'Housing' will be reflected in the Department's new name: the Land Use, Housing and Development Department. Budget Overview: The Land Use, Housing and Development Department is comprised of: Building and Zoning, Conservation, Planning, Housing and Economic Development. • BuildinQ and Zoninq. is responsible for enforcing the State building, electrical, gas and plumbing codes, the local zoning bylaw, and Architectural Access Board Regulations. • Conservation is responsible for administering and enforcing the State and local wetland protection codes and the State Stormwater Management Regulations, managing over 1,400 acres of Town- owned conservation land, and providing outreach and education concerning natural and watershed resources. • Plannin supports the Planning Board in the administration of the Subdivision Regulations, the determination of adequacy of unaccepted streets, the granting of special permits for residential development, site plan review and granting of special permits within the commercial manufacturing district, and the review of planned development district proposals that go to Town Meeting. In addition, the staff engages in short- and long-term planning in regard to growth and development issues in Lexington, being active participants in various committees dealing with issues of transportation, affordable housing and economic development, as well as participating in regional a nd statewide i n itiatives. � Affordable Housinq has become an increasing priority in Lexington, and the Town has recently established an Affordable Housing Trust to assist with the acquisition and maintenace affordable housing units in Lexington. While the FY2024 budget does not reflect dedicated staffing or expenses, the Town's Affordable Housing initiatives are expected to expand in future years. • Economic Development works to encourage new investment and support our local businesses. It serves as a liaison for businesses and works to address business-related issues from Center parking to updating land use policy. The Office also works to retain and expand local businesses by providing information, conducting research, supporting a visitor-based economy, and leveraging FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 IX-3 Program: �and Use, Housing and Development Department 7100-7400 PI'O ra m Su m ma Town ot'Lexin ton, MA 9 rY g State economic development tools and resources designed to improve the business environment.

The FY2024 recommended Land Use, Housing and Development General Fund operating budget is $2,383,716 which is a $48,973, or 2.10% increase from the FY2023 General Fund budget.

The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $359,137 and reflects a increase of $3,050 or 0.86%, which reflects a decrease in Contract Services as the state will no longer be responsible for weights and measurers inspections for municipalities ($4,050) as well an overall decrease in expenses to reflect actual spending. The FY2024 recommended budget for the Residential Engineering Review and Tourism revolving funds is $547,567, an increase of $126,502 or 30.04%, as tourism is expected to continue to rebound from the pandemic.

This role is fulfilled through the enforcement of building, zoning and land use regulations. Budget Overview: The Building and Zoning Division enforces state building, electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical codes, Architectural Access Board Regulations and local zoning bylaws. Staff, comprised of the Building Commissioner, Assistant Building Commissioner, Building Inspectors, Electrical Inspector, Plumbing & Gas Inspector and Zoning Enforcement Administrator, review construction drawings and specifications, issue permits, inspect new construction, conduct periodic inspections of restaurants, day care centers, schools, religious institutions, museums, places of public assembly and multi-family housing, and levy fines or prosecute when necessary to maintain code compliance. Division Initiatives: 1. Continue the efforts to improve and administer the online permitting system, helping applicants obtain their permits. The ViewPoint Cloud permit system requires all building, zoning, electrical, plumbing and gas permits to be applied for electronically. This permitting system allows applicants to do much of their work from their office or home, thereby saving time and money from having to visit the Town offices. 2. Create, advertise, interview and fill the new shared part time position of the Sealer of Weights and Measures. 3. Permit, inspect, monitor and ensure code compliance for the New Police Station. This is a major Town Construction project located in the Center of Historic Downtown Lexington, and will require substantial effort and time from the Inspectional Services Division. 4. Prepare the staff, residents, contractor and designers of the new Super Stretch Code , a new and improved state energy code for all electric homes to be required in Lexington. 5. Assist the Planning office and Economic Development office in amending the zoning sign bylaw to address signs in Lexington. 6. Work with the Select Board to adopt a fee structure for the Sealer of weights and Measures Inspection services.

The FY2024 recommended General Fund Building and Zoning budget is $684,692 a $40,019 or 6.21% increase from the FY2023 budget. The recommended budget for Compensation is $639,652 and reflects a $Z9,069, or 4.76% increase, which is due to contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases for contracts expiring on or before ]une 30, 2023. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget.

A strong local business environment is a critical component of a healthy and sustainable community, creating places to eat and shop, as well as opportunities for employment and added revenue to support local services. To that end, the Economic Development Office serves as a liaison for businesses and works to address business-related issues from parking to updating land use policy. The Office also works to retain and expand local businesses by providing information, conducting research, and leveraging State economic development resources. The Economic Development Office also cultivates and maintains relationships with State-level partners for business development, tourism, and infrastructure investment opportunities. The Economic Development Office works to leverage economic opportunities from tourism through the operations of the Visitors Center, the Liberty Ride Trolley Tour, and the Battle Green Guides program. Sharing our role in American history attracts many thousands of visitors to Lexington each year. These visitors help to support our local businesses which contributes to our community's overall economic sustainability. Budget Overview: The Economic Development Office is tasked with strengthening the commercial tax base, providing services to existing and prospective businesses, and overseeing tourism functions and staff. The Economic Development Office works on initiatives with input from the Economic Development Advisory Committee, the Lexington Center Committee, and the Tourism Committee. In prior years the Economic Development budget was divided into three elements: the Economic Development Office, the Liberty Ride Trolley Tour Program, and the Visitors Center Operations. This FY2024 Preliminary Budget recommends combining the Liberty Ride Revolving Fund and the Visitor Center Revolving Fund into one Tourism Revolving Fund. The Liberty Ride is a trolley tour of Lexington and Concord which also serves as the only transportation link to the area's historic sites. The Visitors Center, located next to the Lexington Battle Green serves as gateway for over 120,000 people who come to visit Lexington every year and generates revenue from gift shop retail sales to offset operating costs. The Town recently completed construction of a new Visitors Center which opened to the public in Spring 2020. Division Initiatives: 1. Ensure long-term viability of Lexington businesses in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic and changing retail environment. 2. Implement and complete the wayfinding project for East Lexington. 3. The ED Office will be working on a new Tourism Website that will address all destination marketing needs i n FY 2024. 4. The ED office will also be working on a store fa�ade improvement program for East Lexington to improve the stores to be more attractive and vibrant. 5. Continued implementation of ARPA funds to help with economic stimulus and resiliency for the community.

FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 IX-27 Program: �and Use, Housing and Development Department 7300 Econom ic Develo ment Town of�exin ton MA p 9 , Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommended All Funds Economic Development budget, inclusive of the General Fund operating budget and the Tourism Revolving Fund, is $925,020, which is a $140,757 or 17.95% increase from the FY2023 budget. The FY2024 recommended General Fund Economic Development operating budget is $435,053, which is a $14,255 or 3.39% increase from the FY2023 General Fund budget. The recommended General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $281,953, and reflects a $20,455 or 7.82% increase, which is a net change, and captures contractually obligated step increases. Compensation does not include a ny esti mate of prospective cost of I ivi ng i ncreases. Fu nds for prospective i ncreases a re ca ptu red i n the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The recommended General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $153,100, a decrease of $(6,200) or (3.89)% to reflect actual spending. Contractual costs include expenses associated with the REV Shuttle, a business-serving shuttle that runs between the Hartwell Avenue corridor and the Alewife Red Line Station, funded via a transfer from the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Stabilization Fund. For FY2024 the Department is proposing a new Tourism Revolving Fund which will combine the operations of Lexington Visitors Center and the Liberty Ride trolley service, both of which previously operated as independent Revolving Funds. The Tourism Revolving Fund will generate revenue from the sale of gift shop merchandise, the sale of ticketed walking tours on the Lexington Battle Green, and the sale of tickets and charters for the Liberty Ride trolley tour. Combining the two revolving funds will allow for increased flexibility in budgeting and decrease the administrative and accounting burden of managing two separate revolving funds. This operation will be overseen by the Visitor's Center Manager, Assistant Manager, and a new Tour Services Coordinator position. The Revolvi n_ Fu nd budget is $489,967, a n i ncrease of $126,502 or 34.80% com pa red to the FY2023 budget, which includes both the Liberty Ride and Visitor Center operations. The FY24 revolving fund budget includes a program improvement that transitions the part time Liberty Ride Coordinator position to a full-time Tour Service Coordinator to be funded out of the revolving fund. The Tour Services Coordinator position will promote Lexington's tourism programs and tour offerings to the local, national, and international hospitality community to increase revenue and visitorship. COVID-19 travel restrictions affected the travel and tourism industry overall and the Liberty Ride did not operate during calendar 2020. It opened on a limited schedule in 2021 and 2022. In 2022 the trolley ran twice a day, Friday through Monday, selling over 3,700 tickets. The Town expects that tourism in Lexington will increase in the coming years, particularly as the Town approaches the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington in April 2025. Beyond the affects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on travel and tourism overall, the Liberty Ride operations have been hampered by increasing transportation costs, a tight labor market and new competition as Concord pilots a new trolley ride. The Liberty Ride trolley contract has been extended through March of 2024, prior to the spring tourism season. We expect to continue working with Joseph's Trolley through the end of this contract. Beginning in Spring 2024, the Office of Economic Development is explori ng alternative options for the Li berty Ride Trol ley, i ncl ud i ng bri ng i ng the operation in-house. Purchasing a new trolley may provide enhanced and flexible programming and ensure the entire Liberty Ride operation is economically viable.

A small amount of support remains in the General Fund budget ($20,000) in the event that sales do not adequately fund the remaining operating expenses. Staff anticipate that this level of support will allow the Visitors Center to remain open year- round.

The Board consists of five members, elected for three-year terms. Select Board members serve without compensation. The Board acts as the Town's primary policy-making body for a wide variety of issues affecting service delivery, finance and Town infrastructure. They provide oversight in matters of litigation, act as the licensing authority, enact rules and regulations regarding traffic control and are responsible for calling Town Meetings and approving the Town Meeting Warrant. Budget Overview: This budget includes funding for the Select Board's Office, Town Counsel, the Annual Town Report, and the Public, Education, Governmental (PEG) programming budget. Day-to-day operation of the Select Board's Office is under the direction of the Office Manager/Executive Clerk and the Department Assistant who assist the Select Board members and coordinate activities with the Town Manager's Office. The staff prepare the Annual and Special Town Meeting Warrants and assist the Select Board members in responding to questions and inquiries from the public. They also receive all contributions to Select Board gift accounts, the Fund for Lexington, the PTA Council Scholarship, the Lexington Education Fund and all other Trustees of Public Trusts funds.

FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 X-3 Program: General Government 8100 Se I ect Boa rd Town of Lexin ton MA 9 � Budget Recommendations: The FY2024 recommended General Fund operating budget for the Select Board is $1,334,327, which is a $35,525 or 2.74% increase from the FY2023 General Fund budget. The Compensation budget is $150,784, which is a $5,621 or 3.87% increase, which reflects step increases. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The overall Select Board operating budget is $1,183,543, which is an increase of $29,904 or 2.59%. The increase is primarily due to expenses for LexMedia, the Town's public access television provider, partly offset by a decrease in legal expenses for FY2024. Expenses also reflect an increase of$1,500 in the contracted expense for the Town's annual financial audit. The recommended FY2024 budget for legal expenses has decreased from $395,000 in FY2023 to $375,000 in FY2024. The recommended FY2024 budget for the annual Town Report is unchanged from FY2023 at $13,688. The FY2024 recommended budget for the Town's annual contract with LexMedia for broadcasting public meetings and events is $658,517 which is a $48,404 or 7.93% increase from FY2023. This reflects contractual commitments to LexMedia, and an increase in the Town's lease agreement for Kline Hall, the location from which LexMedia operates. This lease agreement escalates annually with the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Beginning in FY2024 the Town will begin funding LexMedia ($100,000) partly from the tax levy in addition to the PEG Access Special Revenue Fund. PEG Access revenues are primarily from cable fees which have been on the decline as consumers discontinue cable subscriptions in favor of streaming platforms. Cable fees will not fully cover expenses needed to support local access cable TV going forward, and the amount of General Fund support is expected to increase in the coming years. This program improvement does not add expense to the Town's overall budget; instead the revenue contribution from the PEG Access Special Revenue fund is $100,000 less than the PEG Access expense budget.

The recommended FY2024 budget for Compensation is $1,074,321, and reflects a $62,625 or 6.19% increase, which captures step increases and the transfer of the Webmaster position from the department of Innovation and Technology. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The recommended FY2024 budget for Expenses is $342,303, which reflects an increase of $48,028 or 16.32% from FY2023, primarily due to the transfer of the CodeRed notification system from the Police Dispatch budget to the Town Manager's Office, as well as a program improvement request for a Classification and Compensation Study.

The department's budget includes a Salary Adjustment Account, which reflects anticipated FY2024 collective bargaining settlements, other wage increases, and compensated leave payments due certain employees at retirement. Once contractual settlements are reached, funds are transferred from this account to the appropriate departmental budget upon a vote of the Select Board.

These assets include streets, water mains, parks, buildings, large equipment and technology. They must be purchased, maintained and replaced on a timely basis or their usefulness in providing public services will diminish. The Town's five-year Capital Improvements Program and annual Capital Budget are developed to ensure adequate capital investment in the Town's assets. Definition of Capital Projects A capital project is defined as a major, non-recurring expenditure that generally meets the following criteria: • Massachusetts General Law permits the Town to issue bonds to finance the expenditure; • The expenditure is $25,000 or more; • The expenditure will have a useful life of 10 years or more for buildings or building components and 5 years for vehicles and equipment; and • Planning, engineering, or design services may be considered capital when such services are integral to a construction, renewal or replacement project that meets the criteria for a capital expend itu re. CAPITAL POLICY FRAM EWORK The FY2024 Capital Budget was developed within the capital policy framework initially adopted by the Select Board in 1991, and subsequently amended in 2006 and 2009 to ensure adequate planning and funding for capital investment, particularly cash capital projects within the General Fund. This capital investment strategy includes the following major elements: • Multi-year planning for capital investment; • Debt exclusions for major capital projects; and • Ensuring sufficient operating budget resources for maintaining capital assets. FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL PROGRAM Five-year capital improvement planning has been part of Lexington's budget development process for many years. Multi-year planning allows proper staging and sequencing of capital projects to smooth financing plans and to make funding needs more predictable. Capital investment requirements can vary, involving unique large projects such as a fire vehicle or a school building. Other capital investment needs are recurring such as the annual program to resurface roadways. The five-year Capital Improvement Program includes all anticipated capital projects identified by school and municipal departments over the next five years. In 2021, the Department of Public Facilities completed a full review of the Town's buildings and systems and developed a 20-year plan for replacing and maintaining building assets. The existing conditions of Town and School buildings were presented at joint Summit meetings in the Spring of 2022, and Town staff and policy makers are continuing discussions on long-term planning and priorities. The FY2024 budget, and five-year capital plan includes preliminary steps to address priorities FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 XI-1 in this long term plan. In addition to full building construction or renovation, some of the Department's ongoing capital programs have been re-aligned to allow the Facilities Department to better manage capital needs as they arise: • Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing has been combined into one capital program, and this appropriation will cover school and/or municipal buildings as needed based on priorities identified in the plan. • Public Facilities Interior Finishes includes mill work, ceiling work, tile work, countertop replacement and bathroom finish renovations will be utilized for school and/or municipal buildings as needed based on the priority of the plan. • School Parking Lot Paving and Sidewalks will continue to be managed by Public Facilities. Paving and Sidewalks for other municipal buildings fall under Public Works. • Separate programs remain for School Building Envelope and Municipal Building Envelope. The building envelope programs include extraordinary repairs and modifications to buildings and systems such as siding, caulking, masonry, weather proofing materials, windows, doors, roofs and painting of wood exteriors. The Town also continues to plan for a large-scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexington High School in the next 3-5 years. Special Town Meeting 2022-2 appropriated $1,825,000 for a Feasibility Phase of this project. There is no FY2024 appropriation for the High School, but future appropriations are expected in fiscal years 2025-2027 as reflected in Table IX: Deferred Capital and FY2025-2028 Capital Requests. The following are potential funding sources for financing the Town's capital investments: • Cash Financing - The Town regularly appropriates available funds (i.e., cash financing) from the general and enterprise funds to finance certain capital investment projects. Examples of available funds are unreserved fund balance (Free Cash), tax levy, enterprise fund retained earnings, specialized stabilization funds, premiums received when issuing bond anticipation notes, and, when available, unexpended balances of prior years' capital articles. • Debt - The Town has traditionally financed large dollar value capital projects with debt. Depending upon the project, the debt service resulting from debt-funded capital projects can be financed from a variety of sources including the General Fund (either within the Levy Limit or from a voter approved Proposition 21/2 debt exclusion), Enterprise and Revolving Funds or the Community Preservation Fund (see discussion of the CPA below). In 2019, the Town's management, Select Board and finance committees reviewed the Town's finance policies and have since implemented new strategies for funding the Town's capital plan. This includes increasing cash financing of projects, particularly the items that are part of a continuing capital program, and reducing the Town's overall reliance on debt financing. These efforts have greatly reduced interest costs and the amount of within-levy debt service. • Other Sources - The Town uses dedicated state aid and grant funding to finance capital investment when these funds are available. • Community Preservation Act (CPA) Funds - Beginning in FY2007, following voter approval, the Town began to assess a Community Preservation Surcharge of 3% of the property tax levied against all taxable real property. For owners of residential property, the assessed value used to calculate the surcharge is net of a $100,000 residential exemption. Community Preservation FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 XI-2 funds can be used for those purposes defined by the Community Preservation Act, MGL Ch. 446. Such purposes include the acquisition and preservation of open space, the creation and support of community (affordable) housing, the acquisition and preservation of historic resources, and the creation and support of recreational facilities. Beginning in FY2008, the Town began to receive State matching funds to supplement the local surcharge. Over time, as additional communities in the Commonwealth adopted the CPA surcharge, the annual percentage of state matching funds gradually decreased. In 2019, the state enacted new legislation to increase funding to the Community Preservation budget, and Lexington's annual match increased significantly. In FY2021 Lexington received a State match of $1.5 million, or 29.7% of its surcharge revenue. The State match further increased to at total of 40.9%, or $2.2 million in FY2022. As new communities continue adopt the the CPA surcharge available state matching funds will be spread thinner, and matching funds for Lexington may again decrease. The FY2023 initial match was 31.5%, but was recently supplemented with state surplus funds for a total of $2.32 million or 39.96%. Receipts for FY2024 from the surcharge and state matching funds are preliminarily estimated at $8.1 million, reflecting an estimated match of $1.8 m i I I ion, or 30%.

LPS Technology Program - $1,465,488 (Free Cash): This request addresses the District's strategic goal for enhancing the capacity to utilize technology as an instructional and administrative tool. The request will continue to support student access to devices to allow for innovative learning methods that integrate supportive technologies, problem-based approaches and higher order thinking skills. It also maintains and improves, when needed, current infrastructure such as networks, access points and servers. The capital improvement request for FY2024 would provide funding for the following: Tech Workstations - $177,900 is requested for this category of the capital project. Replace Unit A (all classroom teachers, counselors, librarians and staff working under the teacher contract; Unit A) workstations and peripheral devices (laptops, desktops, printers and monitors). Staff workstations were replaced from FY2020 funds, thus, only a minimal number are needed until the full replacement cycle begins in 2026. Prices have remained relatively stable for all devices in this category PreK-5 Mobile Devices - $280,477 in total is requested for this category of the capital project. • Replace 260 Second Grade iPads across all district Grade 2 classes due to current devices having reached their end of life. (260 iPads @ $410.00 each). • Additionally, each elementary school has one whole class cart to be replaced which holds iPads that have multimedia applications on them. (156 iPads @ $410.00 each). • Each elementary school second grade team also shares a cart of Chromebooks across a team and those devices are at the end of their life cycle as well and need replacement (156 Chromebooks @ $282 each). • Lastly, we found out this year that the classroom pendant microphones installed at Estabrook at the opening of the school were models which were at the end of production at the time they were purchased. Thus, due to time, breakage and connectivity issues, those need to be replaced school wide. The cost for the full replacement is $65,925. This was not anticipated, as the building is still relatively new. 1:1 Middle School Pro_ram - $218,205 is requested to fund 585 Chromebooks for 6th graders entering Diamond and Clark Middle Schools. All middle school students have 1:1 devices and the devices follow them through middle school (three year life span). Generally, by the end of middle school, many devices have reached their end of life due to use. These Chromebooks are more FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 XI-15 expensive than the high school devices due to their having dual cameras and touch screens. (585 Chromebooks @ $373 each)( 1:1 at Lexin_ton HiQh School - $176,250 is requested to purchase 625 Chromebooks for 9th graders. All high school students, once provided a device in 9th grade or upon entering the high school, have the device through their senior year (four-year life span). (625 Chromebooks @ $282 each) Science/TechnoloQv„/En_ineerinQ/(Art�./Math (STEM/STEAM�./Computer Science - $51,000 is requested to update computer labs at the High School level and purchase STEM/STEAM based curricular materials. The high school world language lab will be updated next year.($45,000 for one lab, $6,000 for STEM/STEAM Materials).Digital Learning Coaches (DLCs) work with all department heads that are holding curriculum reviews. The small amount of money allocated for STEM/STEAM may result in equipment being piloted or may also replace some equipment currently being used (elementary small robots for coding, etc.) Interactive Pro�ectors/Whiteboard Units and Document Cameras - $241,656 is requested for this category of the capital project. • Replace 48 interactive projectors districtwide. This equips buildings with a touch-activated, interactive system and soundbar. The replacements will begin with the oldest model per school until all systems are within a 7 year window with all of the same functionality. Forty-eight (48) projectors @ $4660 each. • The request will also replace 28 document cameras at Lexington Middle and High School. All elementary schools have had document cameras replaced, and upgrades have been made in many middle school classrooms as well.

Archives & Records Management - $35,000 (CPA): This is an ongoing request to fund the conservation and preservation of historic municipal documents and records and to make them available on the Town's digital archives. This FY2024 request will include the conservation and preservation of a three-part set of oversized map books belonging to the Engineering Department and containing schematic drawings, cemetery plot information and other engineering and urban layout plans spanning from 1856-1912. Significant progress has been made in preserving Lexington's historic documents but there remains a continuing need to preserve records from the early 1900s and make them accessible. It is projected that this will be a yearly request for treatment/digitization/microfilming of records. The preservation and conservation of permanent records for archiving creates the basis for documenting Lexington's history for the future. 39. East Village Clock Restoration - $9,600 (CPA): This request is to repair and restore the 1914 E. Howard Clock located in the steeple of Follen Church in East Lexington. The iconic octagonal church building, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, has housed the village clock owned by��the Citizens of the East Village" and entrusted to the church since 1914. Ownership of the clock has passed to the Town of Lexington and the maintenance has been completed by volunteers from the church and Lexington community. The clock needs professional overhaul, as it is beginning to show significant signs of distress. The repair and restoration will include the strike trip lever, time and striking gears, vertical shaft and bevel gear, clock frame and dials. 40. First Parish Clock Restoration - $12,000 (CPA): This request is to repair and restore the 1868 E. Howard clock located in the steeple of the First Parish Church directly across from the historic Lexington Green. The clock is one of only a few examples still in original working order, as the vast majority of these clocks have been converted to electric-motored mechanisms or have simply disappeared. Clocks from the E. Howard Company were considered at the time to be some of the finest clocks available, and the First Parish Church Clock is a fine example of a small shop build that predates mass production. This funding would repair the mechanism that drives the three clock faces, along with the bevel gear, pivots and brushings. To complete the project the clock gear will be restored to it's orig i nal tensions a nd setti ngs. 41. Munroe Center for the Arts Building Renovation - $6,635,191 ($4,035,191 CPA; $2,000,000 CPA Debt): See a detailed description under Table VI: CPA Fund Debt.

The Barn is in need of a new roof, foundation repairs and modifications to the grounds to prevent water from entering the basement. Funding will also allow for assessment and trimming of trees surrounding the building. Subsequent steps will allow the Lexington Historical Society to turn the Barn into a fully accessible space that will be used year-round for education and other public historic society functions. 43. Affordable Housing Trust pre-funding - $1,500,000 (CPA): Article 12 of 2022-3 Special Town Meeting, established an Affordable Housing Trust (AHT), which will be a useful tool in the ongoing effort to increase the stock of affordable housing in Lexington. This request is to fund the Lexington AHT by providing CPA seed money for affordable housing acquisitions, and to allow the AHT greater flexibility in purchasing property and competing with for-profit developers in the real estate market. 44. LexHA6 Property Acquisition - $400,000 (CPA): This request is to pre-fund the Lexington Housing Assistance Board (LexHA6) to allow the organization to purchase and convert a single-family property from a market rate to an affordable unit of housing. Similar to the Affordable Housing Trust, access to cash funding will allow LexHA6 greater flexibility in competing with developers for the pu rchase of ma rket rate homes. 45. LexHA6 Rehabilitation/Preservation and Installation - $345,125 (CPA):This FY24 request seeks funding for the preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of 15 Lexington Housing Assistance Board (LexHA6) affordable housing units. The scope of the work at these units varies by property. There will be six rehabilitation and preservation projects at the units which were acquired with CPA funds, including kitchen and bath renovations, new appliances, furnace and water heater replacement, fence replacement; and the installation of solar panels at two additional properties. This funding request will also cover preservation projects at seven LexHA6-operated units not acquired with CPA funds. These include re-roofing or roof replacement; replacement of doors, porches, decks, stairs and retaining walls; chimney repairs; electrical work; and exterior painting to prevent damage and failure of the structures. All improvements are intended to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the u n its. 46. Transforming Trees Into Art - $22,000 (CPA): This request is to take a series of eight stumps that are located adjacent to the Gallagher Tennis Courts and turn them into public art sculptures depicting examples of the New England region's avian life. The removal of the 80-100-year-old white pi nes wh ich left the stu m ps was necessitated by thei r age, heig ht a nd cond ition, as wel I as thei r proximity to residential homes along Parker Street and the tennis facility. The resulting sculptures would be approximately 10 feet tall and would be made by an artist with a chainsaw. These sculptures would provide an educational and aesthetically pleasing experience for those near the Center Recreation Complex.

ACCRUAL BASIS FOR ACCOUNTING - A method of accounting that recognizes revenue when earned, rather than when collected, and recognizes expenses when incurred, rather than when paid. In Massachusetts, cities and towns must use this basis of accounting for the audited financial statements of Enterprise funds. (Also see Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting). APPROPRIATION - An authorization granted by Town Meeting to make expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. Appropriations for any expenditure specify dollar amounts, funding sources, and a period of time within which the funds must be spent. Any funds not expended within the specified time (usually one fiscal year) revert to the Unreserved Fund Balance. APPROPRIATED BUDGET - As used in fund summaries and department summaries within the budget document, represents the current year budget as originally adopted by Town Meeting. It does not include prior year encumbrances. ARTICLE - An article or item on the Town Warrant. There are four standard financial articles that appear in the Warrant every year: the Operating Budget Article; an Article for��Supplementary Appropriations for the Current Fiscal Year" (the current fiscal year was appropriated at the previous year's Town Meeting); an Article for Prior Years' Unpaid Bills; and an Article for supplementary appropriations for previously authorized capital improvement projects. ��New"capital project requests and other special items generally appear as individual articles without a predetermined order.

The audit serves as a valuable management tool for evaluation of the fiscal performance of a community. BUDGETARY FUND BALANCE (also FREE CASH) - Remaining, unrestricted funds from operations of the previous fiscal year including unexpended free cash from the previous year, actual receipts in excess of revenue estimates shown on the tax recapitulation sheet, and unspent amounts in budget line-items. Unpaid property taxes and certain deficits reduce the amount that can be certified as free cash. The calculation of free cash is based on the balance sheet as of June 30, which is submitted by the Comptroller. Free cash is not available for appropriation until certified by the Director of Accounts at the Department of Revenue. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-1 BOND - A written promise to pay a specified sum of money - called the face value or principal amount - at a specified date in the future, called the maturity date(s), together with periodic interest at a specified rate.

State statute and the Select Board establish the length of a bond repayment. BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE (BAN or Note) - A temporary note issued for no more than one or two years. This is commonly used to defer the initial pay down of debt or to accommodate reimbursement for borrowed notes from a private source or other governmental entity.

The formula for determining the Chapter 90 level of funding is based on a municipality's miles of public ways, population and level of employment. Municipalities receive Chapter 90 funds for pre-approved projects on a reimbursement basis. CHERRY SHEET - The State allocates a portion of generated revenue to municipalities each year for education and general governmental expenditures. The amount of state aid each community will receive is itemized in a financial statement printed on cherry colored paper (thus the name). The amount of revenue is a function of the State budget, which begins July 1st. Towns usually receive notification in late summer, subsequent to the beginning of the fiscal year. COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT (CPA) - A local acceptance statute approved by Lexington voters in 2006. The purpose of the CPA is to fund open space, affordable housing, historic preservation and recreation projects that meet the eligibility criteria of the Act. Funding for projects comes from an annual property tax surcharge of up to three percent, which is the percentage adopted in Lexington. The local surcharge is matched by State funds collected as part of the deeds excise tax. The matching funds have ranged from 100% in 2007 to 17.8% in 2017. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-2 COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE (CPC) - This nine-member appointed Committee reviews projects and determines their eligibility under the CPA.

CONTINUING BALANCE ACCOUNTS - At the end of a fiscal year, any unexpended balance in a continuing balance account carries forward to the next year as a type of reserve against future liabilities related to the account. Massachusetts General Laws provides for a number of continuing balance accounts including those for: workers compensation claims, property and liability uninsured losses, and unemployment compensation claims. A continuing balance account is also typically used to fund compensated absence liabilities, facility repair accounts and equipment replacement accounts. DEBT EXCLUSION - The amount of taxes assessed in excess of the Proposition 21/z levy limit for the payment of debt service costs, subject to a popular referendum. Two-thirds of the Select Board and a majority of citizens voting must approve the exclusion. These funds are raised to retire the debt service for the project.

Budgeting for all Enterprise Funds is done on a Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) basis. EXPENDITURE - Decrease in net financial resources for the purpose of acquiring and providing goods and services. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-3 EXPENSES - Outflows or other using up of assets or incurring of liabilities during a period from delivering or producing goods, rendering services or carrying out other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations.

In Massachusetts, cities and towns must use this basis for accounting for the general government. MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE - All Massachusetts vehicle owners who have their vehicle(s) registered in the State of Massachusetts pay an annual motor vehicle excise tax to the city or town in which they reside. The Registry of Motor Vehicles creates a listing of all vehicles registered in Lexington and the book value assigned to each vehicle. The Town uses this information to bill all owners an annual tax equal to 21/2 percent or $25 for each $1,000 of the vehicle's value. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-4 MWRA - Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, from which the Town purchases water at a wholesale rate in the form of annual assessments to the Water and Wastewater (Sewer) departments.

Lexington restaurants collect a 7.0% sales tax, which includes a 0.75% local option. A portion of the jet fuel tax collected at Hanscom airport is distributed to Lexington.

New construction values are in addition to this limit. Two provisions within Proposition 21/2 allow the citizens of a community by popular vote to authorize the Town to raise taxes above the tax levy limit: an operating override or a debt exclusion. (See page xxiii of the Town Manager's Report for an Override History.) RECREATION FEES - Users of Town recreational facilities and teams participating in Town sponsored sports pay fees for these services.

STABILIZATION FUND - Massachusetts General Law Ch.40, Sec. 56, allows a municipality to appropriate in any year an amount not exceeding ten percent of the amount raised in the preceding fiscal year; the aggregate amount in the fund shall not exceed ten percent of the equalized valuation of the municipality.

Money from the Stabilization Fund may be appropriated for any lawful purpose by a two-thirds vote of Town Meeting. In addition to the General Stabilization Fund, the town has stabilization funds for specific purposes, including the Transportation Demand Management Fund, Traffic Mitigation Fund, Special Education Stabilization Fund, and the Capital Stabilization Fund. (See page C-3 for the current balances in the Town's Stabilization Funds.) FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-6 TAX LEVY - The total amount to be raised through real estate and personal property taxes. Lexington property owners pay taxes to the Town based on the assessed value of their real and/or personal property. Each year the Select Board conducts a tax classification hearing to determine a tax rate. The Town Assessor makes adjustments to real estate values in order to properly reflect fair market value. In addition to real estate, businesses may also pay a personal property tax (set at the commercial rate) based on the value of their professional equipment, furniture and fixtures. The amount of taxes a property owner pays is determined by multiplying the applicable tax rate by the valuation. For example, if the tax rate is $13 and a property's assessed value is $1,000,000, the property owner will pay $13 times 1,000 ($1,000,000/1,000), or $13,000. Tax levy revenues are the largest source of funding for the Town. TAX LEVY LIMIT - The maximum amount that can be raised by a municipality within Proposition 21/z. TAX RATE - The amount of tax levied for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. TRANSPORTATION N ETWORK COM PANY (TNC) SPECIAL REVEN U E FU N D - A 2018 state law began regulating Transportation Network Companies (TNCs - e.g., Uber and Lyft). Part of that law established a surcharge of $0.40 per ride, of which $0.20 is returned to the community where the ride originated. Those funds are distributed by the state each year, and must be appropriated by Town Meeti ng for projects that offset the i m pact of the TNCs. USER FEES - Fees paid for direct receipt of a public service by the user or beneficiary of the service. FY2024 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 20, 2023 D-7
