Malloy, Town Manager Tel: (781) 698-4540 Kelly E. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager Fax: (781) 861-2921 MEMORANDUM TO: Select Board FROM: Jim Malloy, Town Manager DATE: January 12, 2024 RE: Weekly Update The following is an update of activities for the week ending January 12, 2024: Town Manager Updates: • As per the Board's discussion on the future uses of 173 Bedford Street, I wanted to update the Board on this topic and provide some general scheduling information: o We have had several staff meetings and developed an RFP for getting leasing information. The current schedule is for this to be advertised and sent out to area leasing agents identified through Co-Star by next Wednesday with due date around 2/17. We will be providing an update for the 2/26 Select Board meeting. The leasing information will be presented for both a shorter term (5 years) and longer term (10 years) so that the comparison can include the planned future needs over the next ten years for swing space. o The $6 million estimate included converting the building from gas to electric HVAC, however if the ultimate use of the property would be to demolish the building and convert the property to an affordable housing project, then converting the building to electric may not make financial sense. The preliminary estimate to renovate 173 Bedford Street without converting to electric (retaining gas) HVAC is $4.2 million. The comparison we provide in February will include a comparison with both retaining gas and converting to electric HVAC. o Mike Cronin is reviewing both school needs and library needs to determine if the floor plans for 173 could remain as close to they are now and accommodate both uses. This would entail retaining private offices and conference rooms on the first floor and an open floor plate on the second floor(cubicles for school use, public space for library use). • As the Board may be aware, the Town did not have a specific flag policy related to which flags may fly on Town-owned flagpoles at Town buildings. This became a larger issue over the past year after the Shurtleff v. Boston case and during the past year, Lexington has been asked to fly private entity's flags at our Town buildings. I worked with Town Counsel to draft the attached policy which I've implemented as of January 8, 2024. 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420 • Attached please find the agenda tracker for upcoming Select Board meetings. Police: • The Lexington Police Department would like to welcome Officer Lexi, our new Community Resource Dog, to the department. She has just completed her intensive training in Rhode Island. She now has a week off to spend time bonding with her handler, Detective Joseph Sullivan, our new School Resource Officer assigned to the Middle Schools. They will both start their 3 week training program together next week. After completion, Det. Sullivan will be involved in numerous community engagement opportunities to introduce Lexi to members of the community. Lexi will be a tremendous resource in offering support to members of the community who have suffered loss or were victims or witnesses to a traumatic event. She will also serve as an opportunity for officer wellness and morale for staff who have handled difficult calls for service. We envision that she will serve as a conduit for positive community engagement and relationship building with groups and members of the community that we have not been able to strongly connect with in the past.

This is the first time the Town has ever applied for capital support for Lexpress. If awarded vehicles, they would arrive in time for FY26. We will continue to explore other options, should the vehicles not be awarded. • Transportation Services is working with regional partners (128BC, MBTA, LRTA, MPO/CTPS) on a grant proposal to MassDOT for their new Regional Transit Innovation Grant due 1/19. The proposed idea is for a through-route from Waltham to Burlington via Lexington that would offer the service recommended in the MassDOT I-95 corridor study (service from Waltham to Lex) and then also assume the Lexpress Route B. Service will be proposed for 30-minute headways to better connect people to the vast array of transit services intersecting this proposed route. If awarded funding, please note this is only a pilot and funds would have to be used by June 2025. Awards presumed to be made in spring 2024. • The MBTA Advisory Board's Rapid Transit Committee voted on 1/9/24 to commission a study on statewide paratransit consolidation. We have been advocating for this and are thrilled this is moving forward, as we hope to see enhancements and greater coordination among the plethora of diverse paratransit/demand-responsive services for seniors and people with disabilities. • Lexpress ridership is up 46% over this time last year. We have recorded 545 Limitless Passes sold thus far. h �".

We know the trail to Eagle Scout has not always been an easy one and we recognize that you have had to work hard to get this far. Your time in positions of leadership within Troop 160, and the successful completion of your Eagle project, speaks to your dedication. Being an Eagle is so much more than just another rank. It is a recognition of what you have achieved so far, but of more importance is the implied promise you have made to maintain the ideals of Scouting into your adult life. We know that your family and fellow Scouts are proud of you and will look to you to be a leader as you continue your journey beyond Eagle. Again, congratulations and good luck in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, Joseph N. Pato, Chair Suzanne E. Barry Douglas M. Lucente Jill I. Hai Mark D.

Voss- Troop 160 VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll call 5-0 to approve the Consent Agenda. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Discuss and Approve Use of Town-Owned Building at 173 Bedford Street Mike Cronin Mr. Malloy explained that there was a presentation made at the November 15, 2023, Summit meeting in which the future uses of 173 Bedford Street were discussed. At that meeting, Mr. Pato asked all of the Committees present whether they concurred with this plan. The general consensus was that all parties (Select Board, School Committee,Appropriation Committee, Recreation Committee and Capital Expenditures Committee) agreed with this course of action. The Board discussed moving of the School Central Office (CO) from Old Harrington School property to 173 Bedford Street temporarily,with plans to raze Old Harrington School converting it into recreation fields. Many concerns were raised. There was discussion regarding an affordable housing option at 173 Bedford St. There was a request to consider the cost and feasibility of leasing commercial space for the CO versus relocating to 173 Bedford Street. There were also concerns about the ownership of the Old Harrington property once converted into recreation fields. Board Members expressed the following concerns: Mr. Sandeen: • Reviewed the basis for the Board's previous discussions regarding whether to move CO to 173 Bedford Street or to leased space. At the time of the previous discussions the cost to renovate the space was presented as $6.1 million and the cost to lease was presented as $5 million. Since that time, the Town Manager has revised the cost to lease commercial space down to $3.2 million. Mr. Sandeen expressed his desire reconsider leasing in order to save that roughly$3 million in a time when the Town is trying to save money for the high school. • Wants to explore leased commercial space elsewhere for the CO and pursue housing at 173 Bedford St. • Ordering of need-converting space from office to library to office; it would be easier if office use for CO were followed by Town Office Building use rather than having library use in the middle. • Cash flow- suggests that lease payments would be spread out over the term of the lease rather than incurring up-front capital costs. • Observes the possibility to move the schedule for the library renovation project earlier, if the Town chooses to lease space for CO. • 173 Bedford St. is the ideal location for affordable housing-would like to see how to accelerate the process for housing rather than having to wait 10 years. • Agrees with Ms. Barry on opposing CO move to 173 Bedford, agrees with Ms. Hai request for more analysis including a plan for how to expedite affordable housing at this site. Ms Barry: • Expressed concern that recreation won't gain control of the fields and/or the fields aren't developed. • Asks about the possibility that the field land be included as part of the Article 97 land swap. • Concerned that we might invest in fields but that sometime in the future the school department would move forward to request school facilities developed at the location. • Opposes use of 173 Bedford for CO -opposed design funds; wants us to find another location and wants 173 Bedford to become housing. • Opposes retention of Old Harrington by School Department—wants land split with recreation controlling fields. Ms Hai: • Want mapping of needs for the three projected uses, in order to be sure that we are pricing(and potentially undertaking) only one major renovation. • Wants to confirm,possibly with an RFI/RFP,the best option for the roughly 10 year building need(commercial market lease versus use of 173 Bedford St.). • If relocation to 173 Bedford St. is the best option, wants to know if it is possible to use the existing building for the swing space needs while simultaneously beginning development of a housing project for the site. Asked for the exploration of a dedicated construction drive on the site rather than the current circular pattern. Mr. Lucente: • Concerned over the sequence of renovation needs for subsequent swing-space needs; concerned that we might incur multiple high-cost refits. • This is a financial decision-what's the cheapest path and the lowest community impact-wants to put the CO in the best location for the least amount of money. • Wants to know if there are locations that wouldn't work-or other limitations that might constrain CO location. Mr. Pato: • CO move to 173 Bedford St. is the presumption unless we find a better deal-but need to move out of Old Harrington and need to be on a path to accomplish this. • Don't want to rush the move to housing at 173 Bedford St. -wants to keep the site available for potential future educational needs; wants to see how private-sector housing development under recent zoning changes develops. • Believes the 173 Bedford St. is excellent for housing-but does not want to preclude municipal or educational uses for the next decade. Believes that we are pursuing opportunities for housing elsewhere and doesn't believe we should tackle multiple large projects simultaneously. • Should do the appropriate analyses at the right times (e.g. integrate analysis concerns from the Economic Development Advisory Committee, and do this in a timeframe that is relevant to leasing and in time to make a retrofit decision at 173 Bedford) • Should authorize funding to allow retrofit at the Annual Town Meeting but not execute against it if a leasing situation is shown to be better. Mr. Malloy explained that the Town Meeting warrant was built around construction projects that involve debt issuance, as opposed to lease payments. Lease payments would come out of something other than a debt issuance, such as the operating budgets, or reserves. This would be a different Town Meeting vote. Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, stated that the Cary Library previously operated out of Cary Hall and will likely operate well wherever located. The Town has gone out for RFIs in the past seeking ideas for sites prior to making decisions. She urged the Board to send out an RFI on this item. Nanette Byrnes, 6 Sherburne Road, stated that the Housing Partnership Board would like to be part of the feasibility study discussions that are underway for the long-term potential for housing. Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue, stated that the fields are an integral part of the High School project. The Community Preservation Fund is not a High School construction fund. The fields should be funded as part of the High School project. Bridger McGaw, 89 Meriam Street, stated that there is a cashflow opportunity here to minimize expenditures across all these different uses. Regarding an RFI,the broker community will give the Town extra intelligence on this item. Elaine Tung, Affordable Housing Trust, stated that, in reviewing the parcels that are available in the center of Town, which is the ideal location for affordable housing,the feasibility study identifies these three parcels and the parcel at 173 Bedford Street is by far the best parcel for a developer. Dr. Hackett, Superintendent of Schools, stated that the High School refresh project is in the Educational Plan development portion of the project. Through development of the ED plan details of what the new school will look like will be determined. This process started last June and needs to be finished by this June. There are six months left to figure out this planning. Some of the operations at the Central Office could potentially be integrated into the new High School. If the Board does not vote in favor of a move to 173 Bedford Street it could be, in essence, a vote against the plan altogether, as time is short. This is about less disruption to children. Without an answer,the School Building Committee will not be able to integrate into the Educational Plan things that may offset costs for taxpayers down the road. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 to support the relocation of the School Department Central Office out of old Harrington. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 4-1 to support the demolition of the Central Administration Office Building for use as recreation fields. Ms. Barry explained that she voted against because,while she would like the fields to be located there, she would like the fields to be under the Town municipality's control,not the School Department's control. It was agreed to bring the discussion back to a meeting by the end of February in order to settle on location for the temporary relocation of the School Department Central Office.

Discuss Potential Location of Dog Park Mr. Malloy explained that there are three potential sites identified by Melissa Battite, Director of Recreation&Community Services, Dave Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works, and Karen Mullins, Conservation Director. The three sites include the Blossom Street Property, the Wyman Road Property or 572 Massachusetts Avenue. Staff plans to engage an engineering firm to review the site the Board supports. Once a site is chosen, Staff will submit a grant application that will cover the majority of the cost of construction for the dog park. Mr. Sandeen noted that this item was part of the participatory budgeting process. In that process,this was identified as an$85,000 project. He asked if a motion could be contingent on obtaining grant financing. Mr. Malloy explained that the project will be contingent either way, as the Board would have to approve additional ARPA funds or go seek additional funding through Town Meeting. The Board discussed the three potentials sites. There was agreement that none of the three sites were appropriate for a dog park at this time. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted 5-0 to find none of the locations suitable and to defer any action on the participatory budgeting ARPA funded dog park. DOCUMENTS: Dog Park Preliminary Sites,Massachusetts Ave Site, BlossomStSite,Wyman Rd Site 3. Review and Approve Lexington Council for the Arts'Request to Paint Additional Town-Owned Utility Boxes Steve Poltorzycki, Chair of Lexington Council for the Arts, explained that the Council has painted a number of utility boxes in the past. The proposal is to paint an additional three this calendar year. One location is at Waltham Street/Brookside Ave, which is the turnoff for the Clark School. The second is Mass Ave at Worthen Road. The third is in the center of Town, in front of the CVS, at Mass Ave at Waltham Street. The third box will not be painted until its warranty period is up and this box may be painted with a Lex 250 theme,working with the Lex 250 Committee. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Select Board voted by roll call 5-0 to approve the request from the Arts Council to paint Utility Boxes L3 (Mass Ave g Worthen Road); L4 (Mass Ave g Waltham Street); and L6 (Waltham Street g Brookside Ave)with the provision that no painting occurs to any boxes until the warranty has expired and further that the Arts Council meet/obtain approval from the HDC and/or the Lexington Semiquincentennial Commission as appropriate.

Per the Board's agreed upon procedure,Mr. Pato incorporated feedback and discussion from the Board's December I I, 2023, meeting into the revised document.

It further requires that the certified arborist affirm that protections are correctly installed before site work begins, that trees survive for one year after construction, and adds stricter enforcement measures. Draft Motion for Article 34: Motion: That the Town's Tree Bylaw, Chapter 120 Sections 3A, 813, 8D and 8E of the Code of the Town of Lexington, be amended as follows: Amend § I 2G 3, Definitions as follows: A.

WHEREAS, Middlesex County has historically had 8.7 days each year above 90°, but by century's end we are expected to have 35 such days under a low-to-moderate emissions scenario and 67 days with business-as-usual emissions; WHEREAS, heat like this creates health risks for our children, elderly and other vulnerable populations, and places an enormous energy burden on our cooling systems and will make many summer outdoor activities unpleasant if not dangerous; WHEREAS, trees can reduce heating and cooling energy use by 25% or more by shading our homes in summer and buffering them against wind in winter, reducing heating and cooling energy use by 25-40%; WHEREAS, a tree canopy, through shading and evapotranspiration, can lower summer air temperatures 4-6°F and the heat experienced by someone moving from sun to shade by20°F or more, the difference between our children playing outside or sitting in an air-conditioned room; WHEREAS, trees combat climate change both by sequestering carbon directly and by reducing building energy demands (due to tree shading and windbreak); WHEREAS, trees mitigate stormwater and flooding impacts by promoting soil infiltration and intercepting rainfall that then evaporates; WHEREAS, trees improve air quality through uptake of gaseous pollution via leaf pores and interception of particulates, and inhibit the formation of smog; WHEREAS, trees are a foundational part of the ecological communities that surround and sustain us, providing habitat to countless species of insects, fungi, moss, birds, mammals, and plants, and serving as critical elements in most food chains; WHEREAS, trees enhance property values, as suggested by a range of studies that have found increases of about 3 to 15 percent in residential property values associated with the presence of trees and vegetation; WHEREAS, studies have shown that trees provide a wealth of mental health and quality-of-life benefits, from increased cognitive function to reductions in stress and anxiety, reduced crime, and even more rapid recovery from surgery; WHEREAS, shade trees can take 100 years or more to mature and fill the canopy, and what is cut down now may not be regrown in our children's lifetimes; and WHEREAS, the Town's recently adopted Climate Action Plan notes that "increasing tree canopy overall will enhance community health and resilience by providing natural cooling, reducing pollution, and mitigating flooding," and sets as a town goal to "protect and expand Lexington's tree canopy;" 1 Town of Lexington Motion 2024 Annual Town Meeting NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town of Lexington declares that a robust tree canopy is vital to the quality of life, public health, and sustainability of Lexington and its residents, workers, and visitors; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town declares that facilitating the growth and maintenance of this canopy, including widespread public shade and tree-lined streets is a goal of the Town and commits to using its resources and authority to work towards this goal with appropriate investment and regulatory measures, while mindful of the need for balance with other pressing public needs like housing and solar energy production; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that to achieve this goal, Town departments and committees are called upon to set actionable goals reflecting the magnitude of the need and metrics by which to measure their progress; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town of Lexington commits to educating our residents about the importance of trees to our and our children's quality of life; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town of Lexington underscores the need for full community participation, inclusion, and support in this endeavor, and recognizes that the residents of Lexington, community organizations, academic institutions, faith, youth, labor, business and homeowners' associations and groups, as well as groups focused on environmental, food and economic issues all have important role to play in providing support and the leadership for this effort.

I propose to use a combination of: (1) the Zoom videoconferencing platform, (2) the online voting tool developed by Select Board member Joe Pato, and (3) an online queuing function developed by Select Board member Joe Pato to facilitate the process of debate. I certify that all components of the system described above have been fully tested and utilized successfully for prior Town Meetings, and I am satisfied that this system enables our meetings to be conducted in substantially the same manner whether a member is participating in person or remotely. I certify that the system for those opting for remote participation (i) allows the moderator, town meeting members, town officials and any other interested members of the public to identify and hear the moderator and each town meeting member who attends and participates in the remote meeting, as well as any other individuals who participate in the meeting; (ii)provides the ability to determine whether a quorum is present; (iii) allows participants to request recognition by the moderator and makes such requests visible to the meeting participants and the public; (iv) allows the moderator to determine when a town meeting member wishes to be recognized to speak, make a motion, or raise a point of order or personal privilege; (v) enables the moderator to recognize a town meeting member, town official or other individual and enable that person to speak; (vi) provides the ability to conduct a roll call or electronically recorded vote; (vii) allows any interested members of the public to access the meeting remotely through LexMedia for purposes of witnessing the deliberations and actions taken at the town meeting; (viii) allows members of the public to participate in debate in-person or through the submission of statements for or against a motion; and (ix)provides for the town meeting to be recorded and available for future viewing. I further confirm that I have consulted with Lexington's Commission on Disability regarding system accessibility.

I propose to use a combination of: (1) the Zoom videoconferencing platform, (2) the online voting tool developed by Select Board member Joe Pato, and (3) an online queuing function developed by Select Board member Joe Pato to facilitate the process of debate. I certify that all components of the system described above have been fully tested and utilized successfully for prior Town Meetings, and I am satisfied that this system enables our meetings to be conducted in substantially the same manner whether a member is participating in person or remotely. I certify that the system for those opting for remote participation (i) allows the moderator, town meeting members, town officials and any other interested members of the public to identify and hear the moderator and each town meeting member who attends and participates in the remote meeting, as well as any other individuals who participate in the meeting; (ii) provides the ability to determine whether a quorum is present; (iii) allows participants to request recognition by the moderator and makes such requests visible to the meeting participants and the public; (iv) allows the moderator to determine when a town meeting member wishes to be recognized to speak, make a motion, or raise a point of order or personal privilege; (v) enables the moderator to recognize a town meeting member, town official or other individual and enable that person to speak; (vi) provides the ability to conduct a roll call or electronically recorded vote; (vii) allows any interested members of the public to access the meeting remotely through LexMedia for purposes of witnessing the deliberations and actions taken at the town meeting; (viii) allows members of the public to participate in debate in-person or through the submission of statements for or against a motion; and (ix) provides for the town meeting to be recorded and available for future viewing. I further confirm that I have consulted with Lexington's Commission on Disability regarding system accessibility.

I propose to use a combination of: (1) the Zoom videoconferencing platform, (2) the online voting tool developed by Select Board member Joe Pato, and (3) an online queuing function developed by Select Board member Joe Pato to facilitate the process of debate. I certify that all components of the system described above have been fully tested and utilized successfully for prior Town Meetings, and I am satisfied that this system enables our meetings to be conducted in substantially the same manner whether a member is participating in person or remotely. I certify that the system for those opting for remote participation (i) allows the moderator, town meeting members, town officials and any other interested members of the public to identify and hear the moderator and each town meeting member who attends and participates in the remote meeting, as well as any other individuals who participate in the meeting; (ii) provides the ability to determine whether a quorum is present; (iii) allows participants to request recognition by the moderator and makes such requests visible to the meeting participants and the public; (iv) allows the moderator to determine when a town meeting member wishes to be recognized to speak, make a motion, or raise a point of order or personal privilege; (v) enables the moderator to recognize a town meeting member, town official or other individual and enable that person to speak; (vi) provides the ability to conduct a roll call or electronically recorded vote; (vii) allows any interested members of the public to access the meeting remotely through LexMedia for purposes of witnessing the deliberations and actions taken at the town meeting; (viii) allows members of the public to participate in debate in-person or through the submission of statements for or against a motion; and (ix) provides for the town meeting to be recorded and available for future viewing. I further confirm that I have consulted with Lexington's Commission on Disability regarding system accessibility.

I would like to express my appreciation to Superintendent of Schools Julie Hackett, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Administration David Coelho, as well as the Senior Management Team and board and committee members who contributed to the development of this budget. I would like to specifically acknowledge Town Accountant Krista Murphy, Director of Assessing Robert Lent, Management Fellow James Robinson, Human Resources Director Anne Kostos, and Deputy Town Manager Kelly Axtell for their work in preparing the many facets of this document. In addition, the completion of the Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan is due directly to the analysis and extraordinary efforts of Assistant Town Manager for Finance/Comptroller Carolyn Kosnoff and Budget Officer Rosalyn Impink. James J. Malloy, Town Manager FY2025 Preliminary Budget& Financing Plan January 18, 2024 3 r '. � Town of Lexington Town Managers Office P ILppl " IN James 1. Malloy, Town Manager Tel: (781) 698-4540 Kelly E. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager Fax: (781) 861-2921 January 18, 2024 The Honorable Select Board, Appropriation Committee and Capital Expenditures Committee: I am hereby submitting the FY2025 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. We expect the Town will maintain a sound financial position leading up to and throughout FY2025 due to conservative budgeting and strong fiscal management. For FY2025 we expect a modest amount of revenue growth that is sufficient to maintain contractual obligations and current levels of service. Importantly, new commercial growth will allow the Town to pursue financial policies and goals that address long-term liabilities and capital needs. This Preliminary Budget is balanced and based on a 4.3% increase in revenue as projected in the Town's Revenue Allocation Model that 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 projected revenue is up from the 3.7% increase that was presented at Summit II in November 2023. The updated allocation of revenue provides funding for the School Department at $140,508,367 for FY2025, an increase of $5,778,123 over the FY2024 budget. The Municipal budget is $49,423,073, an increase of $2,032,424 over the FY2024 budget. 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 made it a priority to utilize this funding to support economic recovery, maintain public health and safety, and assist those residents and businesses disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. i A Transparent Budget: 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. 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. 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. 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. This FY2025 Preliminary Budget proposes $290 million in General Fund spending, $36 million in Enterprise Fund spending, $4 million in Revolving Fund spending and $49 million in capital projects. 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 to ensure that we continue to meet the needs and expectations of Lexington's residents. 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. I want to acknowledge and thank the work and effort that Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance and Rosalyn Impink, 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 truly yours, James J. Malloy Town Manager ii PreliminaryBudget = In Summary This budget, as submitted, is balanced given the revenue assumptions shown in Section II of this document. FY2025 revenue was presented in detail at Financial Summit II and was subsequently updated to reflect increases in certain line items as staff refined projections. Town Manager's Overall Recommendations In light of the goals and priorities of the Select Board and the discussions at Financial Summits I & II, this preliminary budget includes the following key recommendations: • Municipal and School Department Revenue Allocations - At Financial Summit II, a Revenue Allocation Formula was presented which projected an available funding increase of 3.7%. This figure was recently refined and the allocation to both Town and School increased to 4.3%. 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 (PIRs) - Senior managers submitted a total of $1,521,232 in municipal program improvement requests for the FY2025 General Fund budget. While FY2025 revenues are expected to increase modestly, several large collective bargaining agreements recently settled, and new compensation rates are reflected in the FY2025 budget. This originally resulted in little to no funding for discretionary program improvements in FY2025. In order to fund some of the Board's top priorities, the Town Manager and Senior Management Team reviewed and reduced targeted line items in the municipal budget to allow for $441,427 in recommended General Fund program improvements for FY2025. This detailed review was to identify areas where historic spending was lower than budget, and therefore these targeted reductions are not expected to have a negative impact on existing service levels. Additional program improvements are recommended if they are outside the General Fund and will be covered with Enterprise, Revolving Fund or other available revenues, including American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. • Capital Budget - This Preliminary Budget includes recommendations for $49.4 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, $28.1 million is sourced from available funding sources, such as the tax levy, user charges, Free Cash, Enterprise retained earnings, the Community Preservation Act (CPA), and other funds. The remaining $21.3 million is proposed to be debt financed. Debt financing will be within the limits of Proposition 21/2, with the potential exception of the $10 million request for design funds for Lexington High School which is expected to be included in a future Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion referendum. • 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 FY2025 budget continues the 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 Lexington High School construction project. In FY2024, $4,036,373 was transferred to the CSF from the tax levy under this new guideline. That amount continues into FY2025 and is anticipated to grow once new levy growth for the targeted properties is calculated for FY2025. The Fall 2024 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. iii • 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. Implementation of this fiscal guideline has begun showing results by increasing funds available for cash capital, thereby reducing within levy debt service resulting in greatly reduced interest costs. The Town does not intend to use Free Cash for operations in FY2025. • 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 $1,000,000 in unallocated funds (Free Cash) that can be directed towards any of these purposes during the review and vetting process. Select Board Priorities This preliminary FY2025 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: • Staffing to Support Recent Town Meeting Actions: The 2023 Annual Town Meeting passed new Tree bylaws, and the 2021 Special Town Meeting and subsequent 2022 townwide referendum passed a more stringent noise bylaw and imposed a ban on gas powered leaf blowers. This budget proposes new positions for an Assistant Superintendent of Public Grounds and a Code Enforcement Officer to address the additional workload that have resulted from the increase in operational demands. This budget also proposes one full-time and one part-time position for fire and mechanical inspectors, respectively, to keep up with the increase in development that has resulted from changes in zoning bylaws. • Funding for the Semiquincentennial Celebration: The FY2025 budget proposed to appropriate $500,000 for planning and coordinating the events for the yearlong celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington which will take place in 2025. The time frame for events is anticipated to be Fall of 2024 through Fall of 2025. • Sustainability: Departments have continued to implement the Select Board's electric vehicle policy, and have factored increased costs into the General Fund for the planned replacement of fossil fuel municipal vehicles with electric models. The Select Board has expressed desire to expand the Town's food waste collection and composting program from 2,000 households in FY2024 to 4,000 households in FY2025. The recommendation of the Town Manager is to fund this expanded program with ARPA funds in FY2025, with the expectation for this to become part of the General Fund operating budget in FY2026. Lastly, this budget includes funding of a program improvement for sustainability in the operating budget, and capital requests for electric vehicle chargers and a feasibility study for a new solar canopy over the parking lot at Lincoln Field. • Capital Improvement Planning: The FY2025 capital budget continues to plan for a large- scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexington High School (LHS) with a request for $10 million in design funds to advance the project through schematic design. The FY2025 budget also proposes funding to begin a multi-phased reorganization of Town assets including: • A $6 million renovation of the swing space building at 173 Bedford Street in FY2025 to allow the Superintendent of Schools and School Administration to occupy the building in the coming years as LHS is under construction. iv • The FY2026 capital plan is expected to include funding to demolish the existing School Administration Building at 146 Maple Street and additional funding for site work and installation of recreation fields at that site. These fields will help address field loss at the LHS site in future years while that project is under construction. • The FY2026 capital plan is expected to include construction funding for LHS. Office space for the School Administration will be included in the new LHS building. • In a future fiscal year the 173 Bedford Street building may be used as swing space for the Cary Memorial Library and/or the Town Office Building as additional capital improvements are implemented in those buildings. • Maintain Public Access Television: This budget includes a partial funding of the LexMedia contract from the tax levy at a level equal with FY2024. 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, $3,902,321 is recommended for the construction of new Sidewalks; existing Sidewalk Improvements; Street Improvements and traffic safety. • Fiscal Stability: This budget implements fiscal guidelines discussed above to dedicate a portion of the tax levy to the Capital Stabilization Fund to align with long-term capital spending, and to the Retirement Fund to continue to address the Town's unfunded liabilities. This budget also appropriates available funds to continue to address the Town's long-term liability for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). v Budget Highlights This document includes General Fund operating budgets, the Capital budget, Enterprise Fund budgets and proposed Community Preservation Act funded projects. A comparison of the FY2024 appropriated budget to the FY2025 recommended General Fund budget is shown below.

PreliminaryBudget and Plan To facilitate review of this document, some of the salient aspects of this budget are highlighted below: 1. FY2025 Projected Revenues • Revenue Projections (Section Il) - General Fund operating revenues are projected to increase by $10,555,996 or 3.8% over FY2024 estimated revenues. Lexington's projected and actual revenue growth for prior years is shown below: Projected Actual Projected Actual FY2025 3.8% FY2019 3.6% 3.6% FY2024 4.7% FY2018 4.6% 6.6% FY2023 3.9% 7.8% 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% • Revenue Allocation Model- 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 FY2025 model was reviewed by the Select Board, financial committees and School Committee at Financial Summit II, and was subsequently updated for Summit III in January 2024 to allocate an additional $1.05 million in revenue between the Town and School. The final model projected $7.82 million in net new revenue to be allocated, which represents a 4.3% increase compared to budgeted amounts from the prior year. vi For FY2025 the final Revenue Allocation reflects a minor change in methodology related to Shared Expenses. The Town Manager and Superintendent of Schools have agreed to share the cost of the Town's contracted Refuse and Recycling collection and disposal costs for Municipal and School buildings. Previously this cost was fully covered in the Department of Public Works - Environmental Services expense budget. This Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan presents the estimated cost of $104,838 as a Shared Expense beginning in FY2025. The amounts shown in this Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan represent the Town Manager's recommended FY2025 budget for municipal operations and Superintendent of School's recommended FY2025 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. Other Revenue Considerations • In FY2024 the Town Manager recommended, and Town Meeting voted, to create a Refuse Collection Revolving Fund which was intended to generate a fee for collection and disposal of bulky items and white goods. After further discussion and consideration the Select Board chose not to implement a fee for this service during FY2024. The cost for collection and disposal of these large items remains in the Town's Refuse Collection budget at no additional cost to the user. Management has not proposed reauthorization or budget for the Refuse Collection Revolving Fund in FY2025. Additional information about the Towns Refuse Collection and Recycling programs can be found in Section V: Program 3400 - Environmental Services. • Over the last several years Town management has explored creating a Stormwater Enterprise Fund to be funded by a Stormwater Management Fee. Stormwater management is an important local, state and national concern. The Town is expending approximately $2,500,000 annually as part of the capital and operating budgets to improve and maintain drainage townwide, to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s stormwater regulations including the National Pollution Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) permit. The establishment of this new Enterprise fund has been put on hold as the EPA's regulations evolve and until they issue the town a new Municipal Separated Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, which is expected in 2024. Once issued Town staff will assess requirements of the permit and whether or not Stormwater capital requirements can be managed within the existing budget. If the new permit requirements result in an expansion of the Town's Stormwater management program, costs may increase rapidly and the Town may reconsider the proposal for a Stormwater Enterprise Fund. vi i 2. Departmental Budget Summary a. Section III of this document reflects the School Department operating budget proposed by the Superintendent of Schools summarized in the table shown below: FY2025 Superintendent's FY2024 Recommended Lexington Public Schools Appropriation Budget $ Change % Change Compensation/Expenses $ 134,730,244 $ 140,508,367 $ 51778,123 4.29% The Superintendent's proposed budget, presented to the School Committee on January 9, 2024, can be found on the School Department Website athttps:// sites.googIe.com/lexingtonma.org/ips-finance-and-operations/fy-25-budget• b. Section IV of this document includes all Shared Expenses. Overall, Shared Expenses are increasing by $3,427,876 or 5.0%. Beginning in FY2025, Refuse and Recycling collection and processing expenses for School and Municipal buildings are included with Shared Expenses. A summary table of Shared Expenses is shown below: FY2025 FY2024 Recommended Shared Expenses Appropriated Budget $ Change % Change Contributory Retirement $ 9,984,800 $ 10,743,076 $ 758,276 7.59 % Employee Benefits $ 34,937,635 $ 37,478,895 $ 2,541,260 7.27 % Unemployment $ 200,000 $ 200,000 $ — — % Workers Compensation $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ — — % Property & Liability Insurance $ 992,000 $ 1,140,800 $ 148,800 15.00 % Uninsured Losses $ 200,000 $ 200,000 $ — — % Solar Producer Payments $ 390,000 $ 390,000 $ — — % Within-Levy Debt Service* $ 6,854,101 $ 6,123,352 $ (730,749) (10.66) % Reserve Fund $ 750,000 $ 850,000 $ 100,000 13.33 % Facilities Department $ 14,060,403 $ 14,565,854 $ 505,451 3.59 % Refuse & Recycle (School & Muni) $ — $ 104,838 $ 104,838 100.00 % Total $ 68,868,939 $ 72,296,815 $ 3,427,876 4.98 *This is gross within-levy debt service,excluding any use of the Capital Stabilization Fund and other reserve accounts. c. 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. In FY2025 a total of $1,672,305 in General Fund Program Improvements were requested by Senior Managers, of which the Town Manager is recommending to fund $441,427 from General Fund revenues. The following list highlights key program improvements for the FY2025 budget as recommended by the Town Manager: viii 1. Hiring a full-time Lieutenant Fire Inspector; $112,733 for salary and benefits. The increased inspections, licensing, permitting and oversight due to growth in the town's residential, commercial, lab, flammables, oil, propane photovoltaic and energy storage systems on private and municipal projects pushed the current staffing model to its limit. This position will ensure timely inspections that are required for licensing, permitting, occupancy and public safety. 2. Hiring an Assistant Superintendent for Public Grounds; $102,747 for salary and benefits. Changes in the Tree by-law, increases in oversight and maintenance responsibilities, special event coordination, Capital projects, and stakeholder requests have stretched the effective time the Superintendent can work on these tasks. The assistant will allow the Public Grounds Superintendent to concentrate on the most pressing issues, deliver more timely and effective service and help meet the needs of the stakeholders and the community. 3. Hiring a part-time Code Enforcement Officer; $16,232 in wages, non-benefitted. This part-time seasonal position is requested to allow for proper enforcement of changes in the Noise by-law approved at the 2021 Special Town Meeting that banned the use of gas powered leaf blowers in the Town of Lexington. 4. Hiring a part-time Mechanical Inspector; $68,279 for salary and benefits. New energy codes, changing building sciences, and new technology for HVAC and controls has created the need for a staff position with experience and expertise in the mechanical codes, equipment and installations to perform building inspections and enforce the Town's building codes. 5. Adding $35,000 to the Sustainability & Resilience Officer's budget expand programs for energy procurement and planning; the Lexington Heat Smart program, the LexElectrify Community Educational Campaign, building decarbonization roadmap and public outreach and events. Of this amount, $10,000 is reserved to continue the Town's partnership with Power Options and utilize their professional Energy Intelligence Dashboard to better track and monitor electricity and gas usage and solar production at all town-owned buildings. 6. Creating an annual budget for the Chief Equity Officer; $25,000 to allow for volunteer trainings and community oriented programming. This request may also provide matching funds in grant applications. 7. Hiring an Assistant Superintendent for Water/Sewer; $102,844 for salary and benefits. The responsibilities of the Water/Sewer Superintendent continue to grow and program improvements are needed to keep up with regulations and Department of Environmental Protection mandates. This position will ensure we continue to meet critical reporting timelines, maintain compliance, perform critical maintenance and manage the staff in an effective manner.This position will be split funded between the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds. 8. Ongoing license and maintenance fees for Tyler ERP Cashiering Module and Customer Self Service; $40,000. This module will modernize revenue collections in the Treasurer Collector's Office and improve the online payment experience for all customers paying tax bills, utility bills and other fees in the Town Offices. A related request for a one-time implementation cost of this program is requested from ARPA. As noted in the Town Manager's Report, in addition to program improvement requests, this budget reflects targeted reductions to department budgets in other areas to allow for funding critical PIRs. These reductions are reflected in the Manager's Add/Delete column. The reductions presented are not expected to have a negative impact on existing service levels. ix The following table provides a summary of the FY2024 to FY2025 municipal department budget requests, as adjusted and recommended by the Town Manager: FY2025 FY2024 Recommended Municipal Budgets* Appropriated Budget $ Change % Change Public Works $ 12,717,509 $ 13,015,106 $ 297,597 2.3% Police $ 91042,530 1 91536,323 $ 493,793 5.5% Fire $ 8/102/071 $ 91289,900 $ 1/187/829 14.7% Library $ 31385,820 $ 31460,565 $ 74,745 2.2% Human Services $ 11701,698 $ 11513,939 $ (187,759) (11.0)% ........................................................................................

The following table present the status of the town's bargaining units: Contract Title of Union Contract Department Expiration Date Library Staff Association Library 6/30/2023 AFSCME (Building Maintenance) Facilities 6/30/2024 AFSCME (DPW) Public Works 6/30/2024 IBPO Police Superiors Police (Superiors) 6/30/2025 IAFF (Fire) Fire 6/30/2025 Lexington Municipal Management Association Town Staff 6/30/2025 Lexington Municipal Employees Association Town Staff 6/30/2025 SEIU - School Crossing Guards Police Police 6/30/2025 AFSCME (Dispatch) Public Safety 6/30/2026 Lexington Police Association Patrol Officers 6/30/2026 Lexington Educational Association (Unit D) Schools 6/30/2023 Lexington Education Association Technology Unit Schools 6/30/2024 Lexington Educational Association (Unit C) Schools 8/31/2024 Local 888 SEIU (Custodians &Tradesmen) Schools 6/30/2025 Association of Lexington Administrators Schools 6/30/2026 Lexington Education Association (Unit A) j Schools 8/31/2026 (1) Expired contracts are currently in negotiations. X Recent contract negotiations have resulted in new policies and competitive compensation programs to ensure the Town of Lexington can recruit and retain highly qualified employees. Beginning in FY2025 budget request for the Town Manager's Salary Reserve Account has set-aside funding to cover a new Town Policy for Paid Parental Leave that will go into effect as of July 1, 2024. This policy was implemented through contract negotiations and is therefore included in the initial budget request by the Town Manager. The recently settled Police union contracts included a Police Career Incentive Pay Program, also known as the Quinn Bill, to encourage police officers to earn degrees in law enforcement and criminal justice. A similar Career Educational Incentive Pay Program was included in the recently settled bargaining agreement with the Fire Department. Proposed American Rescue Plan Act Funding In addition to the Program Improvement Requests noted above, the Town Manager has proposed funding $701,000 of other FY2025 Program Improvement Requests through the American Rescue Plan Act. The Town's total federal grant of ARPA funds was $9.9 million, which may be allocated by the Lexington Select Board. ARPA funds must be obligated by end of calendar year 2024 and fully expended by the end of calendar year 2026. The following FY2025 program improvement requests, which are mostly one-time expenses, have been proposed to be funded by ARPA: Amount Program Improvement Requests: Department Requested Insurance Consulting Services (Casualty and Property Insurance) Town Manager $ 25,000 ADA Town Building Self Evaluation/Transition Plan Town Manager $ 75,000 Health Department Vehicle (EV) Health $ 50,000 Water/Sewer Rate Study Finance $ 50,000 Tyler ERP Cashiering Module Finance/IT $ 105,000 Expanded Food Waste Collection Public Works $ 396,000 Total Program Improvements Requested from ARPA $ 701,000 The Tyler ERP Cashiering Module consists of an one-time cost of $105,000 for implementation, and a $40,000 annual software cost which is included as a PIR in the General Fund budget. The Expanded Food Waste Collection program will need to be calculated into the FY2026 General Fund budget as this is proposed to be an ongoing annual expense. xi This Page Intentionally Left Blank. »r» o f a lop APR Q �� pp pProposed A ro riations Into Reserves/Trust Funds 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 ($850,000) 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. 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 Special Other Post General Education Education Employment Capital Reserve Fund Stabilization Stabilization Reserve Fund Benefits(OPEB) Stabilization Balance as of $10 373 342 $683 122 December 31, 2023 $750 000 $29 811364 $31,763,404 Special Education Reserve Fund - In FY2024 Town Meeting created a new Special Education Reserve Fund and 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. As of publication none of this reserve has been spent in FY2024 and therefore no additional appropriations are recommended to this reserve in FY2025. 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 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 FY2025 Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Appropriated Recommended $1,842,895 $1,885,486 $750,000 $1,885,486 $1,935,486 $1,985,486 $2,033,375 Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) - Over the last five years the Town completed a significant number of 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, new Cemetery building and the Center Streetscape project. In addition, construction is nearly complete on the new Police Station and Battle Green Streetscape. Finally, Town Meeting approved funding for a feasibility study for renovating or reconstructing Lexington High School at the 2022-2 Special Town Meeting. An additional $10 million in design funds for LHS is included in this FY2025 budget, and construction funding is anticipated in FY2026. 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 FY2025 set aside of$4,036,373 can be found in Table 1A of the Revenue section. That amount is expected to increase once FY2025 new levy growth is calculated; Fall 2024 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 anticipated from the high school construction project. In addition, one-time revenues will continue to be dedicated to the CSF, as available during the annual budget process. 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.

Planning for Lexington High School The Town continues to plan for a large-scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexington High School. Special Town Meeting 2022-2 appropriated $1,825,000 for a Feasibility Phase of this project. The FY2025 request includes a second-phase request for $10,000,000 in design funds to advance the project through the Schematic Design Phase and determine construction cost estimates for a construction appropriation in the FY2026 budget. This request is included in the General Fund Debt column of the table above, however the Town anticipates the future debt service for this project may be excluded from the limits of Proposition 2 1/2 in the future. A townwide debt exclusion vote is anticipated to occur in late 2025. Additional information about the Lexington High School Construction project and other related projects can be found in the Preliminary Budget - In Summary section of this Town Manager's Report, and in Section XI: Capital Investment of this Preliminary Budget. New Capital Programs for FY2025 This budget proposes to create two new capital programs beginning in FY2025. • Stormwater Management Program - This new capital program is combining three existing capital programs (Townwide Culvert Replacement, Storm Drain Improvements and NPDES Compliance, and Comprehensive Stormwater Management) into one funding request. The aggregated funding will continue to be utilized for supporting the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) program with an emphasis on Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) and nutrient removal which are both required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Municipal Separated Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. Combining these programs into one request recognizes the natural overlap that occurs between the three separate programs and will create more flexibility and agility for the Department of Public Works tin planning, bidding and implementing stormwater improvements throughout Lexington. • Sustainable Capital Initiatives - This new program will provide an ongoing source of funding for the design, purchase and installation of electric vehicle chargers, rooftop solar panels and solar canopies, battery storage and other sustainable equipment or capital improvements. This program will be coordinated by the Town's Sustainability and Resilience Officer who may allocate funding to matching grants and other opportunities that arise during the year. This program will be included in the Town's 5-year capital plan and may incorporate requests initiated by other municipal departments. Other large or notable projects included in the FY2025 Capital Budget are highlighted below. • Cary Memorial Library Renovation Project - Construction - This request for $4,,000,,000 in CPA funds and General Fund Debt will support the renovation of the Large Meeting Room and Children's Room. Approximately half of the project cost will go towards the installation of a new green energy HVAC system for the lower level of the library. • Pine Meadows Clubhouse Renovation - Construction - This request for $2,,575,000 is to renovate the clubhouse at Pine Meadows Golf Club to bring the building into ADA compliance and ensure a functional user space. • 173 Bedford Street Renovation - $6f000.,000 - This request is part of a multi-phased plan to reorganize the Town's assets in preparation for the Lexington High School construction project. This phase will allow for the renovation of 173 Bedford Street in order to house the School Administration staff for several years during the Lexington High School construction project and may also be used to house Cary Library operations during the planned HVAC project and a future renovation of the Town Office Building. • Lincoln Park Field Improvements - This request for $1,810,000 will fund an end-of-life synthetic turf replacement at Lincoln Field #2 including restoration of the walkways, guardrails, and plantings surrounding the field. • Affordable Housing Trust (AHT) Pre-funding - This request for $3,,200,,000 is to fund the Lexington Affordable Housing Trust (AHT) by providing Community Preservation Act (CPA) seed money for affordable housing and to allow the AHT greater flexibility in purchasing property and competing with for-profit developers in the real estate market. The Town's full FY2025 Capital Plan and additional information on these projects may be found in Section XI: Capital Investment of this Preliminary Budget. Policy Issues The Town has set aggressive guidelines for addressing our long-term capital needs and funding of the Town's long-term liabilities. The following policy items are to be reaffirmed or addressed by the Select Board in finalizing this preliminary budget: • 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 FY2025 recommended transfer is $4,036,373. 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 High School. • Expand Use of Cash Capital (Free Cash and Tax Levy) - For FY2025, a total of $12,387,549 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 $750,000 of tax levy to support ongoing capital programs. This amount is available due to the decreasing amount of debt service in FY2025 compared to FY2024. Funding some 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 into the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund - Whether to support the appropriation of $2,033,375 into the OPEB Trust Fund. The most recent actuarial valuation calculated Town's total OPEB liability to be approximately $242 million. Continuing to fund this liability will help ensure the Town is able to meet its future financial obligations related to post-employment health insurance. • Confirm the proposed multi-phased reorganization of Town assets - This recommended budget includes a $6 million renovation of the swing space building at 173 Bedford Street in FY2025 to allow the Superintendent of Schools and School Administration to occupy the building in the coming years as LHS is under construction. This is the first request of a multi-phased project that includes demolition of the School Administration Building at 146 Maple Street and construction of new fields. Confirmation of the 5-year capital plan and future use of the Town's assets including plans for the 173 Bedford Street building must be confirmed in the final FY2025 Recommended Budget. • Unallocated Revenues for Contingencies - The recommended budget includes $1,000,000 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 FY2025 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. • 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 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 FY2025 budget includes no funding from free cash to support operations. Additional policy considerations to be discussed either during finalization of the FY2025 budget, or in anticipation of future budgets, include the following: • Appropriate from the Capital Stabilization Fund - As of June 30, 2023 the Capital Stabilization Fund had a balance of $26.78 million which has been set-aside to mitigate the impact of excluded debt projects on the taxpayer. For FY2025 there is no request to draw from the Capital Stabilization Fund to mitigate excluded debt service. In future years the Town will need to revisit the use of this fund to determine the best strategy for offsetting the cost of the Lexington High School construction project. Funds may continue to be drawn down over a period of years to offset debt service, or they may be drawn down in lump-sum amounts to fund parts of the project with cash. Town Staff will continue to model the impact of this project and potential mitigation options as the design and cost projections are refined. • Food Waste Collection and Composting Program - This proposed budget does not include the expansion of the $396,000 food waste collection and composting program in the Town's General Fund. Alternatively it is recommended to be financed with ARPA funds in FY2025, at no cost to residents. If the Town intends to continue this program in future years it will be necessary to fund this within the General Fund budget. The Town may need to consider implementing a fee for this service or other changes to the Town's refuse and recycling policies in order to balance the budget in future years. Budget Schedule 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 FY2025 budget dates are proposed to be the following: • January 25, 2024 - Summit III to review this Preliminary budget; • February 12, 2024 - Select Board to vote recommended FY2025 budget as outlined in the Program Summary; • On or before February 23, 2024 - The recommended budget will be forwarded, electronically, to the Appropriation Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee and Town Meeting Members (printed copies to follow); • March 18, 2024 - Town Meeting begins; • On or before March 23, 2024 - Town Meeting may consider financial articles. 00 Co 41) 00 m m M M U- il is uuau 9 u 4w-J E 0 CL M 0 w c: 0 C:m 0 E C: E o 0 0 pp 4-4 W 0 U it V) pm., c: E 0 C: E 2 0 0 E pY 0 0 CO C4 E E 0 N 4-- 4— E E 0 0 ol ?* UJ 04 m m C�g� u E E o 5) c pom L 0 (t) (t) U) m LLI W 5.0 00 oom" E E E 0 > 0 0 0 z z z ti gm o-4 m V) V 0 7 m 0 t CO lw 0 C4 q) it aw 0 it cr) S) CY). 0 c: 0 PIP 41- 0 0 4-1 CL C4 N 04 >w E E E 6w LM 0 U) m Iwoiaoiaoiaoiaoiaoiaoia Lu Fill This Page Intentionally Left Blank. »r» o f a lop APR Q �� Section I Budget Overview Town of Lexin tonLexington, MA Summary of Revenues and Expenditures The summary below shows revenues & expenditures for the Town of Lexington for FY2022-FY2025.

General Fund Operating Revenues include all revenues projected as available for use in FY2025. • Total General Fund Operating Revenues are from annually recurring and non-recurring sources, including transfers from special revenue funds and Specialized Stabilization Funds. • Net General Fund Revenues are Total General Fund Revenues less revenues recommended to be set-aside to fund designated expenses such as capital programs and reserves. Set-asides are predominately designated from non-recurring revenue sources, but may also be partly from the tax levy. In FY2025, Total General Fund Operating Revenues are projected to increase by approximately $10.56 million, or 3.8%. Net General Fund Revenues, those available to support school and municipal operating budgets, are projected to increase by $10.79 million, or 4.2%, as proposed set-aside revenues are slightly less than FY2024.

The projected levy is a function of the FY2024 levy limit increased by 2.5% per Proposition 21/2, plus an increment for new growth. FY2025 new growth will be a function of construction activity for the period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. FY2025 new growth is estimated at $3,000,000 based on a review of historical data on new growth. State Aid: The majority of the Town's State Aid is attributable to Chapter 70 School Aid, but also includes Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA). The amount of State Aid received by the Town will vary annually due to the amount of projected State revenues. Chapter 70 School Aid is further allocated according to a formula defined by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). For FY2025 the Town expects to receive the minimum increase in Chapter 70 State Aid, or $60 per student, which is in line with the minimum per student Aid in the State's FY2024 allocation. FY2025 initial State Aid estimates project an overall increase of$445,407 or 2.27% compared to FY2024. Final State Aid figures are likely to be known in June 2024 when the Legislature adopts, and the Governor signs, the FY2025 State budget. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 II-3 Section II Revenues Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Local Receipts: FY2025 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 due to other local trends such as increases in fees, local development activity, and current interest rates. FY2025 local receipts are estimated to increase by approximately $1,344,541 or 9.10% over FY2024 estimates. Available Funds: Available Funds are projected to increase $613,133,, or 3.54%. The increase in available funds is primarily due to a projected increase in Free Cash, estimated at $16,500,000 as of June 30, 2023, and increases in transfers from the Parking Fund. Free Cash has not been certified by the Department of Revenue as of this publication, but is expected prior to Town Meeting. The available balance of the Parking Meter Fund decreased significantly from FY2021-2023 due to the temporary suspension of parking meter enforcement during the pandemic and Center Streetscape project in order to to support businesses. The Town has recently started to enforce parking fees which will rebuild the balance in the Parking Fund. A transfer of $250,000 from the Parking Fund has been included in the FY2025 budget to support parking operations. The transfer from the PEG Access Fund is increasing due to the estimated cost of proving Public Access television. The transfer from the PEG Access fund is equal to the total estimated budget for that service, less $100,000 which represents a general fund subsidy. This FY2025 subsidy is level with FY2024, but projected to increase in future years 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 providing General Fund support for this service in future budget cycles if necessary to maintain the service. Revenue Offsets: Revenue Offsets are projected to increase by approximately $472,217 or 24.98%. 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; (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 FY2025 increase in total Revenue Offsets is driven by the set-aside of$400,000 in estimated FY2025 revenue to cover a potential snow and ice deficit at the end of FY2024. 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 decreasing by (3.1)%, or $(58,,589). primarily due to staff turnover, and changes in benefits costs as supported by a detailed indirect analysis completed by the Finance department.

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 listed in the table above. Revenues Set Aside for Other Designated Expenses: This represents components of Gross General Fund Revenues that are set aside for designated purposes. Set-asides are predominately designated from non-recurring revenue sources, such as Free Cash, but may also include set-asides from the tax levy. The proposed set-aside purposes are shown in the table below.

January 4, 2024 Dear School Committee Members, Elected Officials, and Lexington Residents: Last year was hard. In FY 2024, we shared our worry that it was a "rainy day," and our schools would need more funding but today is different. While we will never have everything we want or need, this year promises to be better. English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson said, "Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,, whispering, it will be happier and so it goes with the FY 2025 school budget. In the 2022-2023 school year, recovery from the lingering effects of unfinished learning during the pandemic created outsized student needs that put pressure on the school budget. Overwhelmed by an influx of new students with significant needs, we found ourselves simultaneously dealing with a nationwide labor shortage. On the heels of an ongoing pandemic, contentious contract negotiations plagued school systems across the state, including ours. Miraculously, we received an unexpected windfall of an additional $1.75 million in the Chapter 70 funding, helping to close our budgetary gaps. Today there is a renewed sense of optimism in our schools. Our students continue to rebound from the pandemic and its associated health-related challenges of the past few years. We have been able to address historic inequities in teacher workload and settle a fair contract. Lexington also received the good news the Massachusetts School Building Authority was inviting us into their capital pipeline for a potential new or renovated high school. This is most welcome news, given the looming $187 million price tag for necessary capital repairs at Lexington High School in the next 10 years, with HVAC replacement costs alone estimated at $62 million. With the pandemic behind us, a new teachers' contract in place, and a potential new or renovated high school on the horizon, this year promises to be better. The total FY 2025 appropriation for the Lexington Public Schools is $140,335,244, representing a 4.16% increase over the FY 2024 base budget. Once we finalize the Unit D contract, we will have completed negotiations with all collective bargaining units. Our end-of-year to the Town continue to be substantial, with a $3 million turnback this year alone. With a new high school project on the horizon, these funds that revert to free cash demonstrate our commitment to do our part and spend only what is needed. That said, it is important to keep in mind that it costs approximately 3.75% to carry forward the same level of service in a school budget from one year to the next. While we are feeling more optimistic about our financial outlook than in years past, a relatively modest 4.16% increase over the base budget could affect the school department's end-of-year turnbacks this year. We've come a long way in a short period of time, and we have a long way to go. Our community's strong support of its public schools is what sets us apart from the rest, and there is no challenge too great in Lexington. Every day, our students get to experience joy in learning, curiosity in life, and compassion in all we do, and we couldn't do it without you. Thank you so much for your support. Sincerely, CN Julie L. Hackett, Ed.D. Lexington Public Schools Lexington Public Schools FY 2025 Budget Page 2 ^r�r mj Z0,11 a C 111 40 ........... ......

Lexington Public Schools FY 2025 Budget Page 3 Budget Development 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 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 accordance with the outlined policy objectives. The School Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget for incorporation within the complete Town budget. Budget Timeline Summer: School Committee and Superintendent establish Collaborative 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, budget priorities, and 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. This process provides 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. After public hearings on the Superintendent's Budget Recommendations, the School Committee makes final budget decisions consistent with their Collaborative Goals. Early Spring: Before Town Meeting members discuss financial articles, the approved budget of the School Committee is distributed to Town Meeting Members and the various finance committees. The document is available to citizens at the School Department's Central Office, the Town Library, and the Town Manager's Office. In addition, the budget documents are publicly available on the Lexington Public Schools website bApa-.//bit.y1 /LPSBUDG.ETPAGES. 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 comprehensive 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.

The FY 2025 Revenue Allocation Model was adopted by Summit 11 participants and revised in December 2023. The current FY 2025 Superintendent's Recommended Budget is $140,335,244, representing an increase of $5,605,000, which is approximately 4.16% over the FY 2024 base budget. Salaries and wages comprise over 86% of the School Department budget. The FY 2025 salaries and wages line is increasing by $8,061,437 (7.15%) to support existing positions funded for FY 2025, although there is an actual reduction of 8.61 FTEs. The expense line is recommended to decrease by $2)456,437 (-11.2%) over the FY 2024 appropriation, representing a significant decrease compared to previous years. As a result, we are making strategic reductions across several lines. It also will be necessary to rely more heavily on some departmental offset accounts, such as Circuit Breaker and Transportation Revolving accounts.

This process involves a consideration of dynamic elements such as evolving state mandates, inflationary pressures, the multi-year commitments embedded in contracted services, and the impact of collective bargaining agreements with our dedicated staff. To continue to realize our commitment to excellence, the annual increase sought ranges from 3.75% to 3.95% on the base budget. This increment is essential to provide the necessary resources required to sustain the high standard of services and facilitate continuous improvement in our educational programs. By proactively addressing these factors, we can ensure that our budget aligns with the evolving needs of our educational community and positions us for ongoing success.

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 contributions - ranging from 5% to 11% depending on date of hire - provide the majority of pension system funding. • 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.

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 Metering 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 FY2025 overall recommendation for Solar Producer Payments is $390,000, which is level-funded from the FY2024 appropriation.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 IV-11 Program: Shared Expenses 2400 Debt Service Town of Lexington, MA 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 2024 Annual Town Meeting. Debt service on projects funded from the Compost Revolving Fund is shown in the DPW Budget element 3420; 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 Finance department. Budget Recommendations: Total gross debt service is decreasing by $(712,356),, or (3.00)% compared to FY2024, which reflects a decrease in within levy debt service. Within-Levy debt service of $6,123f 352 is decreasing by $(730,749). or (10.66)% 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. FY2025 gross exempt debt service is projected at $16,902,562, a increase of $18,393, or 0.11% compared to FY2024 gross exempt debt service due to the declining interest payments of prior issuances. No funding is appropriated in FY2025 from the Capital Stabilization Fund to offset exempt debt service, and net exempt debt service in FY2025 is projected to increase slightly to $16,902,562 or 3.16% more than FY2024. The Town continues to plan for a large-scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexington High School in the coming years. This process, timing and budget 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, and if successful, this project will increase exempt debt service in the coming years. The Town has implemented fiscal guidelines and plans to continue to mitigate the impact of this exempt debt on the taxpayer. More information on these efforts can be found in the Budget Overview Section of this Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan. The FY2025 proposed capital projects are described in greater detail in Section XI: Capital Investment in this Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 IV-19 Program: Shared Expenses 2600 Public Facilities Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended All Funds Department of Public Facilities budget inclusive of the General Fund operating budget and the Building Rental Revolving Fund is $15,197,171. The recommended budget is a $534,702, or 3.65% increase from the FY2024 budget. The Department of Public Facilities FY2025 recommended General Fund operating budget, inclusive of the Education Facilities, Municipal Facilities and Shared Facilities divisions, is $14,565,855, which is a $505,452, or 3.59% increase from the FY2024 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $6,990,292, and reflects a $212,306 or 3.13% increase, which provides contractually obligated and projected step increases and cost of living increases for the AFSCME contract that is settled through June 30, 2025, and the SEW contract that is settled through June 30, 2025. This increase also reflects a program improvement to increase the hours of the AV Technician from 35 to 40 hours in order to provide better coverage to building renters. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $7,575,561 and reflects a $293,144, or 4.03% increase. This reflects an overall increase in the cost of utilities, contract labor, cleaning materials and other supplies. For FY2025, Utilities are increasing by $62,523 or 1.44% which reflects an increase in projected electricity costs, mostly offset by a decrease in natural gas expenses. In developing this FY2025 budget the Facilities Department conducted a review of natural gas usage in Municipal and School buildings as several have converted to be all electric in recent years. This review resulted in a reduction of $(216.,598) in natural gas expenses in the FY2025 budget. The FY2025 Facilities Department recommended Building Rental Revolving Fund budget is $631,318, an increase of $29,252 or 4.86%. 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 (CRTs) and drop-off of corrugated cardboard. The Town entered into a 5-year contract for the collection of trash and recyclables with Capitol Waste beginning 3uly 1, 2023 running through 3une 30, 2028. This budget incorporates contract prices. In FY2024 the Town Manager recommended, and Town Meeting voted, to create a Refuse Collection Revolving Fund which was intended to generate a fee for collection and disposal of bulky items and white goods. After further discussion and consideration the Select Board chose not to implement a fee for this service during FY2024. The cost for collection and disposal of these items remains in the Town's Refuse Collection budget at no additional cost to the user. The Town is also currently under contract with Wheelabrator in North Andover for refuse disposal through 3une 30, 2025. Division Initiatives: 1. Continue to monitor the Capitol Waste contract to ensure quality and timely service. 2. Continue to support programs to divert organics and other hard to manage items such as mattresses, food waste, and carpet from residential trash 3. Assess markets and pricing for compost, loam., leaf, bark mulch and yard waste disposal permits. Propose increase of disposal rates and product pricing reflected in the local markets. 4. 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. 5. Continue the implementation of DPW yard/compost facility operation's plan including gate installation, security and conservation improvements. 6. Develop and implement cost effective management plan to divert organics from Lexington's municipal solid waste (MSW). 7. Continue compliance as directed by Mass DEP waste bans of mattresses, carpet and organics. 8. Continue to develop a long term plan to identify waste streams and implement waste reduction and diversion programs and explore alternative disposal options available in the future.

Previously this cost was included in this Department of Public Works - Environmental Services expense budget. This Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan has moved the estimated cost of $104,838 to Shared Expenses and therefore it is not included in the budget request below. The FY2025 revolving fund budgets are recommended at $1,108,368, a $(44,865) or (3.89)% net decrease due to staff turnover. The Minuteman Household Hazardous Waste Program Revolving Fund is decreasing to $250,000 to reflect historic activity and contractual agreements.. The Compost Operations Revolving Fund is recommended at $858,368, a $5,135 or 0.60% increase. Program Improvement Requests: None requested.

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 FY2025, 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. Departmental Initiatives: 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.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 V-26 Program: Public Works 3600 Water Enterprise Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended Water operating budget is $15,160,028, inclusive of indirect costs. The recommended budget reflects a $157,313 or 1.05% increase from the FY2024 budget. The budget for Compensation is $971,418, and reflects a $78,779 or 8.83% increase, which is attributable to the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments in the contract with Public Works staff. This increase also includes funding for a full-time, benefited Assistant Superintendent of Water/Sewer position (split funded between the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds) in FY25. The budget for Expenses is $614,400 which is an increase of $36,900, or 6.39% from FY2024, and is primarily due to an increase in contractual services. 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 fifth 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 FY2025 recommendation for cash capital is $1,000,000. Debt service is recommended to decrease by $(1,049,893) or (44.19)% due to a one-time paydown of a BAN in FY2024 that will not recur in FY2025. The preliminary MWRA Assessment is $10,277,096, which is a $934,282 or 10.00% increase from FY2024. This is a conservative placeholder as the final assessment will be issued in June 2024. In FY2025, 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 $968,301, a decrease of $(43,039) or (4.26)% due to staff turnover and changes in benefit plans.

Budget Overview: The Sewer Division budget is comprised of Wastewater Operations, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) purchases and indirect support from the General Fund. The Sewer Division maintains the wastewater system that serves 99 percent of Town residences and businesses through 34 miles of trunk lines, 119 miles of street lines and 10,326 service connections. There are also ten sewage-pumping stations operated by the Sewer Division. The Town has a three- block inclining rate structure to encourage conservation. Customer sewer usage is determined based on water usage over the same period, with the exception of meters dedicated to outdoor irrigation. The MWRA provides wastewater treatment to Lexington and Greater Boston at the Deer Island treatment facility. Indirect support from the General Fund reflects Sewer Enterprise Fund expenses (benefits, insurance and engineering support) that are appropriated in the General Fund. The Sewer Enterprise Fund, therefore, reimburses the General Fund for these expenses through an indirect cost transfer.

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 fifth 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 FY2025 recommendation for cash capital is $500,000. Debt service is recommended to increase by $43f 168 or 3.07% due to an increase in benefit costs for new positions. The preliminary MWRA Assessment is $10,,284,483, which is a $934,953 or 10% increase from FY2024. This is a conservative placeholder as the final assessment will be issued in June 2024. In FY2025, 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 $596,525, an increase of $8,485 or 1.44%.

A team of dedicated police officers, detectives, dispatchers and support staff work in a coordinated manner to effectively intervene in emergencies, promote traffic safety, suppress crime, reduce fear and deliver services to the community through a variety of prevention, problem solving and law enforcement programs. Budget Overview: The Police Department is comprised of seven divisions: Administration, Patrol and Enforcement, Traffic Bureau, Investigations, Dispatch, Animal Control and Crossing Guards. In FY20231 the Police Department responded to 15,343 calls for service with 711 crimes investigated. The Administration division is comprised of 11 full-time and 6 part-time employees including: the Chief and two Captains who oversee administrative and operational functions including budget, planning, training, personnel administration, public affairs and policy development; four Lieutenants who each lead a workgroup consisting of patrol officers, dispatchers and a Sergeant providing 24/7 policing services; an administrative Sergeant who tends to the accreditation program as well as detail assignments and event planning; an office manager and clerk who handle records management, accounting and payroll; 6 cadets who provide administrative support; and a mechanic who purchases, equips and maintains the vehicle fleet and other specialized equipment. The Patrol and Enforcement division is comprised of 34 officers (29 patrol officers and five sergeants) responsible for responding to a variety of critical front-line services 24/7 including intervening in emergencies, promoting crime prevention and traffic safety as well as suppressing crime. The Traffic Bureau has one supervisor who oversees the Parking Enforcement Officer (PEO) and one account assistant. Meter and parking enforcement in Lexington Center is done by the PEO. The Traffic Bureau supervisor also manages the school crossing guard program. The Investigations division is supervised by a Detective Lieutenant who is assisted by the Sergeant Prosecutor and oversees six detectives responsible for investigation and prevention including: three major case detectives, a family services detective, a Community Resource Officer (CRO) and a School Resource Officer (SRO). The Dispatch division is comprised of ten civilian dispatchers responsible for directing the proper resources for over 15,000 service calls that require a police, fire or medical unit response. The Animal Control division entered into an agreement to share a full-time Animal Control Officer (ACO) with the Town of Bedford in October 2015, with 70%. or 27 hours per week allocated to Lexington. The ACO is an employee of the Town of Bedford, but will continue to work collaboratively with the Lexington Board of Health regarding animal related health issues. The School Crossing guard program has 18 part-time civilian members who cover 16 school crossings during the school year. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 VI-3 Program: Public Safety 4100 Law Enforcement Town of Lexington, MA Departmental Initiatives: 1. The staffing of the Lexington Police Department has not significantly changed in over 50 years. It is imperative to continue to review and evaluate current programs and positions within the department. This process most likely will result in a request for staffing increases to ensure the department is meeting the demands of the Massachusetts POST and Accreditation Commissions and high expectations of the community. 2. The completion of the new Police Headquarters is scheduled for late spring/early summer of 2024. It will require a comprehensive plan to move all of the files and equipment from the temporary station. This will require a tremendous amount of teamwork among all of the staff in the department. It is also imperative to continue to collaborate with the CTA Construction Managers and members of the Facilities Department to ensure a successful completion to the project. We plan to engage the community to organize events that will bring members of the community in to tour their new station as well. 3. The Lexington Police Department is currently a member of the ]ail Diversion Program who provide two full time Mental Health Clinicians. These clinicians specialize in responding with police to calls involving members of the community in mental health crisis or substance abuse. Lexington has experienced an increase in the number of these calls much like other communities in Massachusetts and across the nation. The Lexington Police Department will be exploring a grant that will bring a full time clinician embedded in the new station alongside the members of the department. This service will allow the department to offer immediate services to those in need and provide consistent follow up to individuals with multiple involvements with public safety and other town departments.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 VI-6 Program: Public Safety 4100 Law Enforcement Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended Police Department budget is $9,536,323 which is a $493,793 or 5.46% increase from the FY2024 budget. The budget for Compensation is $8,333f 126, an increase of $464,464 or 5.90%. that reflects contractually obligated step increases, cost of living adjustments, stipend increases and education incentives for contracts that recently settled. Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases for contracts expiring on or before 3une 30, 2024. Funds for prospective increases are captured in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Managerfs budget. Compensation also includes funding for a part-time, non-benefited Code Enforcement Officer position in FY25. The budget for Expenses is $1,203,197 and reflects an increase of $29,329 or 2.50%. The majority of the increase is due to an increase in contractual services and 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 are minor increases throughout the budget due to inflationary impacts. which are partially offset by a decrease in telephone utility costs.

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. A future as vibrant as our past: With more than a half million visitors each year, Cary Library is a cherished community asset and a source of civic pride. Stewardship of this resource requires equal attention to preservation and transformation.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 Vii-11 Program: Culture &Recreation 5200 Recreation & Community Programs Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended budget for the Department of Recreation and Community Programs - comprised of four divisions: Pine Meadows Golf, Recreation, Community Center and Administrative - is $3,713,658. The recommended budget is an increase of $147,222 or 4.13% from the FY2024 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 FY2025, with $272,708 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 $1,824,916, which is a $141,981 or 8.44% increase from the FY2024 budget, and reflects step increases, cost-of-living adjustments, and a rate increase for Seasonal staff to remain competitive with the current market. This increase also includes funding to transition the part-time Recreation Coordinator position to a full-time, benefited position in FY25. The recommended budget for Expenses is $1,579,751 and reflects a $(9,063) or (0.57)% decrease from the FY2024 budget, primarily due to the financial restructuring of our vendor sports camps. The recommended budget for the operation of the Pine Meadows Golf Course is $618,000 and reflects a net increase of $48,500 or 8.52%. The current golf management contract is awarded to New England Golf Corporation (NEGC). In September 2023, NEGC was awarded a new three-year contract, with an option for two, one-year extensions.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 VIII-4 Program: Human Services & Health 6100=6200 Human Services Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The recommended FY2025 All Funds Human Services budget is $2,076,762 which is a $3,312 or 0.16% increase from the revised FY2024 budget. The All Funds budget includes funding from a Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) grant, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Suburban Transportation grant, and the Senior Services Revolving Fund. FY2025 reflects the addtionl of a one-time Community Transit grant for $200,000. The Towns of Bedford and Carlisle fund a portion of the Veterans" Services budget through an Intermunicipal Veterans" District agreement. The Human Services FY2025 recommended General Fund operating budget request is $1,513,939 and reflects a $(187,759) or (11.03)% decrease from the revised FY2024 budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $750,616, and reflects a $1,699 or 0.23% increase, which reflects the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments, offset by staff turnover. 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 Managers budget. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $763,323 and reflects a $(189,458) or (19-88)% decrease, which reflects a decrease in contractual services. This decrease is due to the award of a $200,000 Community Transit grant for transportation operating costs, and therefore the general fund budget has decreased by an equal amount. If this grant is not received in future years that cost will need to return to the General Fund. The current Lexpress contract has been extended through June 30., 2025 and a Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in the coming month soliciting proposals for multiple options for levels of service and investment in busses going forward. The FY2025 budget proposes to transfer $125,000 from the Transportation Demand Management Stabilization Fund to cover transportation services, which is level from FY2024.

Research and develop new regulations as necessary. 3. Emphasis on developing programming and services with a focus on Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. 4. Implementation of new inspection software and tablets has decreased reliance on paper forms and allows for more efficient and accurate record keeping. Will continue to support enhanced customer service satisfaction and improve staff efficiency by updating Health permit applications in ViewPoint Cloud as necessary. 5. Continue involvement with the newly formed Central Middlesex Medical Reserve Corps. Offer preparedness trainings and classes for the community such as Stop the Bleed and Behavioral First Aid. 6. Continue to grow the Clinical Public Health programs including expanding the availability of adult and pediatric vaccines, beyond flu vaccine, Senior Wellness Clinics., CPR/First Aid, collaborate with Human Services Health Outreach Clinician to expand services to Elders, and collaborate with other clinical partners in the community.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 VIII-10 Program: Human Services & Health 6500 Health Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The recommended FY2025 All Funds Health budget inclusive of the General Fund operating budget and the Health Program Revolving Fund, which funds health clinics, is $695,148. The recommended budget is a $37,835 or 5.76% increase from the FY2024 budget. The FY2025 recommended Health General Fund operating budget is $545,148, which is a $17,,835 or 3.38% increase from the FY2024 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $458,098 and reflects a $31,585 or 7.41% increase due to the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $87,050, a $(13,750) or (13.64)% decrease from FY2024, which reflects a decrease in contractual services, partly offset by an increase in supplies required for the new department, as well as mileage costs to cover personal vehicle use for health inspections. The FY2025 Health Programs Revolving Fund is recommended at $110,000, a $20,000 or 22.22% increase from the FY2024 authorization, which is attributed to a rise in vaccines costs. First authorized in FY2021, a revolving fund for Lab Animal Permits is recommended at $40,000 to handle inspections for an increasing number of lab animals in the commercial and industrial properties in town.

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 the 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 Office became a stand-alone Town department in FY2024 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.

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 and statewide initiatives. • Affordable Housing has become an increasing priority in Lexington, and the Town has recently established an Affordable Housing Trust to fund the preservation and creation of affordable housing units in Lexington. While the FY2025 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 expanding the life sciences sector to updating land use policy.

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, assisting contractors and residents to obtain their permits without delays. The ViewPoint Cloud permit system requires all building, mechanical, sheet metal, 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 a new staff position for a mechanical inspector. With the ever changing energy codes and sophisticated mechanical systems , the town should have a staff inspector position with expertise in the mechanical codes, equipment and installations. 3. Permit, inspect, monitor and ensure code compliance for the two new high rise laboratory buildings in the Hartwell District, as well as the new buildings proposed at 97 Hayden Ave. These three new buildings alone will create an enormous workload on inspectors and will require an extraordinary effort on all to insure success. 4. Prepare the staff, residents, contractors and designers of the new Fossil Fuel Free Bylaw, a new law that prohibits/limits the use of natural gas and propane in new and existing homes and most commercial buildings. 5. Assist the Select Board to continue with their efforts to implement a stormwater permitting system for all new homes built, regardless of the lot size. The Board recently added smaller projects that trigger site plan review, and their next steps will be adding all the new home lots so that stormwater will not adversely effect the neighbors and town roads FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 IX-10 Program: Land Use,, Housing and Development Department 7110 BUilding & Zoning Town of Lexington, MA 'M er Assistant''Town ' anag! f 'D 'ogr e'velop�me�nt ..........

FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18,, 2024 IX-27 Program: Land Use, Housing and Development Department 7300 Economic Development Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended All Funds Economic Development budget, inclusive of the General Fund operating budget and the Tourism Revolving Fund, is $1,025,720, which is a $86,100 or 9.16% increase from the FY2024 budget. The FY2025 recommended General Fund Economic Development operating budget is $468,079, which is a $18,426 or 4.10% increase from the FY2024 General Fund budget. The recommended General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $286,779, and reflects a $4,826 or 1.71% increase, which captures contractually obligated 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 recommended General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $181,300, an increase of $13,,600 or 8.11%. primarily due to increases in printing, advertising and professional services expenses. 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. The Tourism Revolving Fund combines 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. The Revolving Fund budget is $557,641, an increase of $67,674 or 13-81% compared to the FY2024 budget, which includes both the Liberty Ride and Visitor Center operations. This increase is reflective of a return to full operations post-pandemic, as well as seasonal staffing to support an expected increase in tourism in FY2025 due to the Semiquincentennial celebration of the Battle of Lexington. The Liberty Ride trolley contract has been extended through March of 2025, prior to the spring tourism season. We expect to continue working with Joseph's Trolley through the end of this contract. The Office of Economic Development is exploring options for the Liberty Ride Trolley in future years.

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. Staff manage the licensing and permitting process for the Board (the licensing authority). These licenses include alcoholic beverage, auctioneer, cable television, common victualler, entertainment, flammable storage, innkeeper, lodging house, theater, Class I, II and III for the sale of used cars, vehicles for hire such as common carrier, limousine and taxi cab and automatic amusement machines. Staff maintain approximately 320 Select Board appointments to more than 50 committees. In addition., the Select Board's Office notifies Lexington residents of all national, state and local elections. Town Counsel represents the Town, through the Select Board and Town Manager, on all legal matters including litigation, contracts, drafting of Town bylaws and enforcement of bylaws through the Court system. The Town Report is the official proceeding and activities of Town Government. It is required to be prepared annually under State law. The PEG budget funds activities related to the Town"s cable television programming. Under Massachusetts law, municipalities may receive up to 5% of the basic cable bill for PEG programming activities. These funds are largely used, under the guidance of the Communications Advisory Committee, to fund the LexMedia contract. Departmental Initiatives: 1. Enhance resident engagement with committees and improve communication effectiveness. 2. Continue to improve methods of communication between the Select Board and residents. 3. Transition public meeting agenda management to a new platform with the upcoming obsolescence of NovusAGENDA.

The Compensation budget is $156,709, an increase of $5,925 or 3.93%. which reflects contractually obligated 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 $1,231,925, an increase of $48,382 or 4-09%. The increase is primarily due to expenses for LexMedia, the Town's public access television provider. Expenses also reflect an increase of $3,000 in the contracted expense for the Town's annual financial audit. The recommended FY2025 budget for legal expenses is unchanged from FY2024 at $375,000. The recommended FY2025 budget for the annual Town Report is unchanged from FY2024 at $13,688. The FY2025 recommended budget for the Town"s annual contract with LexMedia for broadcasting public meetings and events is $715,224, which is a $56,707 or 8.61% increase from FY2024. 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 is 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 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. Program Improvement Requests: None.

FY2025 Preliminary Budget& Financing Plan January 18, 2024 x-8 Program: General Government 8200 Town Manager Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2025 recommended budget inclusive of the Town Manager's Office and Human Resources is $1,519,840, which is a $34,888 or 2.35% increase from the revised FY2024 budget. The recommended FY2025 budget for Compensation is $1,,129,878, and reflects a $(8,513) or (0.75)% decrease compared to FY2024. The decrease in compensation due to staff turnover, partly offset by contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments. The Management Analyst position is currently vacant and Management intends to leave this position open in FY2025 to allow for funding other critical or mandated changes in the municipal budget. Filling the Management Analyst position may resume in FY2026 if funding is available. 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 FY2025 budget for Expenses is $389,962, which reflects a increase of $43,401 or 12.52% from FY2024, primarily due to the program improvement requests recommended below. These expenses are partly offset by a transfer of Zoom accounts to the IT Department and reduction in professional services from the one-time classification and compensation study carried out in FY2024. The department's budget includes a Salary Adjustment Account, which reflects anticipated FY2025 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. The FY2025 increase is substantially less than prior years as many of the Town's bargaining units are under contract through FY2025. Beginning in FY2025 the budget request for the Town Manager's Salary Reserve Account has set-aside funding to cover a new Town Policy for Paid Parental Leave that will go into effect as of 3uly 1, 2024. This policy was implemented through contract negotiations and is therefore included in the initial budget request by the Town Manager. Professional Services will continue to fund HR consultations, investigations, and assessment centers for the Police and Fire Departments, as well the cost of scanning and converting paper files into the Tyler Content Manager module.

Capital Investment FY202S Capital Improvement Budget & Financing Plan INTRODUCTION A crucial aspect of the Town's operations, from providing services to its residents and businesses to equipping employees to effectively perform their jobs, requires the existence of certain basic physical assets. 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 expenditure. CAPITAL POLICY FRAMEWORK The FY2025 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, and 5-year spending projections for all of the Town's ongoing capital investment programs. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI_1 New Developments in the Capital Improvement Budget Over the last decade the Town has funded three separate capital programs related to Stormwater management, flood mitigation, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), nutrient removal and overall improvement in water quality that is regulated at Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): • Culvert Replacement; • Storm Drainage Improvements and National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) Compliance; and • Comprehensive Watershed Stormwater Management These three programs have historically been funded with General Fund revenue sources, but required work has expanded and costs have continued to increase steadily in recent years. From FY2019-2024 Town management and the Department of Public Works explored creating a Stormwater Enterprise Fund that would assess a stormwater fee to every parcel of real property in Lexington. This new fee revenue would fund the three capital programs noted above, and related Stormwater operating expenses. The establishment of this new Enterprise fund has been put on hold as the EPA's regulations evolve and until they issue the town a new Municipal Separated Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, which is expected this year. Once issued Town staff will assess requirements of the permit and whether or not Stormwater capital requirements can be managed within the existing budget. If the new permit requirements result in an expansion of the Town's Stormwater management program costs may increase rapidly. Town may reconsider the proposal for a Stormwater Enterprise Fund. In the interim, Staff is recommending to combine the three existing capital programs related to Stormwater into one request for a Stormwater Management Program. One combined program will allow the department more flexibility in planning and remove complexity from bidding and managing projects that have many overlapping components, but separate funding authorizations. The work proposed and total amounts requested in this one program are aligned with the historic programs and funding requests. Additional information can be found under Table VIII: Cash Capital. This FY2025 Budget proposes a new program for Sustainable Capital Initiatives including electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and infrastructure. In the future this program may also include the study, design and construction of rooftop solar or solar canopies, including battery storage; and other projects identified by the Sustainability and Resilience Officer to move the Town towards achieving its sustainability goals. Ongoing Capital Programs 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. In addition to full building construction or renovation, in FY2024 some of the Department's ongoing capital programs were re-aligned to allow the Facilities Department to better manage and prioritize capital needs as they arise. The following continuing programs are included in the FY2025 budget and current 5-year capital plan: • 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. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-2 • 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. Funding the Town's Capital Improvement Budget The following are potential funding sources for financing the Town"s capital investments. Over the last 5 years management has shifted the majority of the Town's ongoing capital programs to be funded with cash sources as opposed to debt financing. The use of debt is primarily used for large one-time capital projects. Capital projects and programs may be funded from one source, or by a combination of the following sources. • 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 21/2debt exclusion), Enterprise and Revolving Funds or the Community Preservation Fund (see discussion of the CPA below). In 2019.1 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, grant or gift funds 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 funds can be used for those purposes defined by the Community Preservation Act, MGL Ch. 44B. 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, the annual percentage of state matching funds has fluctuated due to changes in State legislation and varying levels of funding available at the State level. The Town's local match is further impacted as additional communities in the Commonwealth adopt the CPA surcharge resulting in available funds being spread across more communities. The following table presents the history of Lexington's State matching funds. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-3 FISCAL YEAR PERCENTAGE AMOUNT 2015 32.6 % $15230,116 2016 30.7 % $11229,774 2017 21.3 % $897)243 2018 17.8 % $789)905 2019 19.8 % $922)256 2020 24.8 % $13219;950 2021 29.7 % $11549;955 2022 45.5 % $235003261 2023 40.0 % $2,323,956 2024 21.8 % $1,354,935 2025 (estimated) 15.0 % $940,000 Receipts for FY2025 from the surcharge and state matching funds are preliminarily estimated at $8.04 million, reflecting an estimated match of $940,000, or 15% which is lower than recent history due to a decline in available revenues in the State budget.

PLANNING FOR LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The Town continues to plan for a large-scale reconstruction or renovation of Lexington High School. Special Town Meeting 2022-2 appropriated $1,825,000 for a Feasibility Phase of this project. The FY2025 request includes a second-phase request for $10,000,000 in design funds to advance the project through the Schematic Design Phase and determine construction cost estimates for a construction appropriation in FY2026. The FY2025 budget also proposes funding to begin a multi- phased reorganization of Town assets including: • A $6 million renovation of the swing space building at 173 Bedford Street in FY2025 to allow the Superintendent of Schools and School Administration to occupy the building in the coming years as LHS is under construction. • The FY2026 capital plan is expected to include funding to demolish the existing School Administration Building at 146 Maple Street and additional funding for site work and installation of recreation fields at that site. These fields will help address field loss at the LHS site as that project is under construction. • The FY2026 capital plan is expected to include construction funding for LHS. Office space for the School Administration is planned to be included in the new LHS building. • In a future fiscal year the 173 Bedford Street building may be used as swing space for the Cary Memorial Library and/or the Town Office Building as additional capital improvements are implemented in those buildings. The following table, FY2025 Recommended Capital Budget, lists all FY2025 projects recommended by the Town Manager for consideration and their estimated costs by program area and funding source. The Capital Expenditures Committee and Appropriation Committee have also been evaluating these requests and will issue reports and recommendations to Town Meeting.

If excluded from the limits of Proposition 2 1/2, principal and interest on long and short term debt will be funded outside the levy limit along with other projects shown in Table V beginning in FY2027. "For the Lexington High School Construction-Design Funds,the difference between the$10,000,000 requested amount and the$7,500,000 shown above represents the expected contribution from the Massachusetts School Building Authority(MSBA).Town Meeting will be asked to authorize the gross amount of$10,000,000, however the Town will only issue debt for the portion of the project not covered by MSBA. Design funds may be bonded for a total term of 5 years,unless they lead to a construction authorization at which time they may be spread over the useful life of the asset(for LHS,30 years). This presentation assumes the total cost will be paid over 5 years. Facilities Projects, 1. Public Facilities Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Replacements - $4,015,000 ($1671977 General Fund Debt; $3,067,,023 Free Cash; $750,,000 Tax Levy; $30,,000 BAN Premiums): This project is an annual replacement of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing systems that have exceeded their useful life and require replacement before catastrophic failures occur. After the development of the 20-year Capital Plan, the report identifies significant projects that are coming due in the next 5 years. This category has significant dollars scheduled for investment over the next 5 years. 2. Pine Meadows Clubhouse Renovation - Construction - $2,575,000 (General Fund Debt): In FY2024 Town Meeting approved $120,000 for design and engineering for upgrades to the Clubhouse at the Pine Meadows Golf Club. For FY2025 the Recreation Committee is requesting $2,575,000 in funding for the construction phase of this renovation project. The clubhouse, constructed prior to the Town"s purchase of the property in 1988, has not undergone any significant renovation in the past 30 years and is suffering the typical deficiencies and wear and tear associated with its age and heavy usage. The accessibility issues at the current FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-8 clubhouse were identified as the #2 priority for remediation by the Commission on Disability in the 2017 ADA Compliance Study. Completion of this project will not only restore the clubhouse to a modern and functional facility suitable to support the ongoing successful operation of the Pine Meadows Golf Club, but will also bring it into ADA-compliance and make it welcoming and accessible for all residents of Lexington and visitors. The renovation of the clubhouse will include the main concourse area,, restrooms, plumbing system and fixtures, windows, roof, solar collectors for the Clubhouse and additional work as needed to improve accessibility. 3, 173 Bedford Street Renovation - $6,,000,,000 (General Fund Debt): This request is part of a multi-phased plan to reorganize the Town's assets as described in the introduction of the Capital Plan section of this document. The building at 173 Bedford Street is the current temporary home for the Lexington Police Department while the new Police Station is under construction. After the Police Department moves into their new facility, 173 Bedford Street will need additional work in order to support another department as the top floor lacks accessibility, required fire protection, and a working HVAC system. This request is for funding to renovate the building in order to house the School Administration staff for several years during the Lexington High School construction project. The renovation will include the installation of an elevator, HVAC replacement, a sprinkler system, and reconfiguration of the interior spaces to suit the School Administration department. Permanent office space for the School Administration is planned to be included in the new Lexington High School building. 4. Cary Memorial Library Renovation Project - Construction - $4,fOOOfOOO ($1,f7001000 General Fund Debt; $2,300,000 CPA): It has been nearly 20 years since the Cary Library's major renovation project in 2004. Over the course of the next ten years, the library will need significant capital investment due to wear and tear and aging mechanical systems. The library recognized the need to renovate its Children's Room and Large Meeting Room spaces in 2019 when it received an appropriation of $100K to conduct a feasibility study for those spaces. Children's spaces in public libraries have changed significantly since the Cary Library was designed in the late 1990s. Several factors drive these changes: advances in technology, the need for more flexible programming spaces, evolving standards in accessibility/Universal Design, and an increasing urgency regarding the safety of children in public spaces. The renovation of the Children's Room will provide a larger programming space, updated restrooms (including one with a universal changing table), better sight lines, and adequate staff work space. The Large Meeting Room adjacent to the Children's Room will also be renovated as part of this project. This space will receive a full technology update for hybrid programming, a new hearing loop, and better kitchen facilities designed for cooking, science, and craft programming. The issue of the building's HVAC system reaching end of life prompted replacement of the system on the entire lower level, increasing the scope of the project. Approximately half of the project cost will go toward installing a new green energy HVAC system for the lower level. The library's HVAC system is nearing end of life, and this project presents an opportunity to convert the lower level which will require ceiling replacement throughout. Additional updates included in this funding are renovation of the lower level restrooms, new carpeting for the lower level hallway, and replacement of the stairway treads connecting the South Lobby and the Main Level. The total cost for this renovation is $5,500,000, however this request is for an appropriation of $4,OOOfOOO (CPA funds and General Fund debt). The remaining $1,500,000 has been committed as a gift by the Cary Memorial Library Trustees. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI_9 Facilities Projects = Potential Candidate for Debt Exclusion 1. Lexington High School Construction Project - Design Funding - $10,,000,,000 (General Fund Debt): Lexington High School was invited into the Massachusetts School Building Authority School Building (MSBA) Grant Program in June 2022. During the Eligibility Period, the Town had a number of steps to complete before March of 2023 in order to move to the next module in the MSBA prescribed process. Module 2 included the selection of the Owners Project Manager and the Designer (architect) for the high school project. During 2023 the Town selected Dore and Whittier as the Owners Project Manager (OPM), and Symmes Maini and McKee Associates (SMMA) as the Designer. This will be the project team for the duration of the LHS project. The Town is currently in Module 3. Feasibility Study, which will determine whether the project is an addition/renovation or a completely new building and will also determine the location and size of the project. Special Town Meeting 2022-2 appropriated $1,825,000 for the Feasibility Study. Once Module 3 is completed, the Town will need to have funds available to contract with the designer to complete the Schematic Phase drawings, which importantly will establish the true budget for the project. This current appropriation of $10,000,000 is to advance the project through the Schematic Design Phase. Before this phase is completed, all construction figures used in these documents are rough estimates based on a square footage estimate only. The Town expects to request an appropriation of construction funds for Lexington High School in the FY2026 budget. The construction funding for this project will be subject to a townwide debt exclusion referendum which is expected to occur in late 2024.

The Town's sanitary sewer infrastructure is made up of approximately 176 miles of main line, 8.5 miles of force main and 5280 manholes. Work will include replacement or repair of deteriorated sewers, force mains and manholes in order to improve flow and reduce inflow and infiltration into the system. Engineering investigation and evaluation will continue on sewers throughout town, including those in remote, hard to access areas. These capital investments improve the operation of the sewer system, reduce backups and potential overflows, prevent system malfunctions and reduce the measured flows through the MWRA meter. Beginning in FY2021, the funding source for this ongoing capital replacement program has been gradually shifting to Wastewater user charges, with the ultimate goal of transitioning the entire program to cash funding over 10 years. This is the fifth year of transition and $500,000 is being requested from user fees.

Lexington High School Construction Project - Design Funds ($10,000,000) is a potential candidate for a Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion vote. The debt exclusion vote is anticipated to occur in late 2025. If successful, beginning in FY2026, debt service related to this project will be excluded from the limits of Proposition 2 1/2, and principal and interest on long- and short-term debt will be funded outside the levy limit. Otherwise the debt will remain within the limits of Proposition 2 1/2 as presented in Table I: General Fund Debt. Table V above also presents projected future debt service for funding the construction portion of the Lexington High School project which is anticipated in the FY2026 budget and the impact of taxpayer mitigation efforts on the total amount of Excluded Debt Service. As outlined in the policy section of this document the Town's fiscal guideline to set-aside tax levy from new development is expected to partly offset Exempt Debt Service beginning in FY2027. The Town may also continue to utilize Capital Stabilization Funds to further mitigate the impact to taxpayers.

The DPW has an inventory of 146 pieces of equipment including sedans, hybrid SUVs. construction vehicles and specialized equipment used to mow parks, plow snow., repair streets and complete a variety of other projects. Without regular equipment replacement, the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the DPW"s operations would be handicapped due to equipment down time and excessive repair costs. Each piece of equipment is inventoried with original and current replacement cost, state of condition and replacement time interval. Replacement intervals vary from 5 to 20 years and are based on manufacturer recommendations and use (type and duration). The selection of vehicles to be replaced begins with the proposed replacement date. Then each vehicle is assessed as to its mechanical condition and work requirements. The systematic replacement program defines what equipment is expected to need replacement during the next five years with the intent of preventing any unexpected emergency purchases. Annual FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-19 updates are conducted by the Equipment Maintenance Division,, Division Superintendents and reviewed by the Manager of Operations and Director of Public Works. The FY2025 request, by funding source, is shown in the table below.

Sidewalk Improvements - $800,,000 (Free Cash): This request is to rebuild and/or repair existing sidewalks that are in poor condition. DPW, in conjunction with various committees and other town departments, will generate a list each year of the sidewalks most in need of repair/ replacement based on four determining factors: i. Is the sidewalk unsafe for travel due to trip hazards, defects, etc. ii. Is the sidewalk within the Safe Routes to School Program iii. Is the volume of pedestrian traffic heavy, light or average iv. Is the general condition of the sidewalk poor, fair or good which dictates treatments such as full reconstruction, overlay or patching DPW currently reviews 30% of sidewalks annually to identify the work to be done. Sidewalks considered for FY2025 funding include: Simonds Road from Bedford St. to Preston Rd. 1285 LF Asphalt Douglas Road from East St. to #11 850 LF Asphalt Clarke Street from #33 Forest (on Clarke) 50 LF Concrete Hancock Street from Adams St. to Bikeway 4000 LF Asphalt Bedford Street from Bikeway to N.

Townwide Signallization Improvements- $50,000 (Free Cash): This is an annual program to update traffic and pedestrian signals in Lexington. In addition to updating traffic and pedestrian signals, this request also periodically updates the compliance study, which is the funding request proposed in FY2025. The last signal inventory and compliance study was completed in 2011. This study will include ADA compliance, condition assessment, signal timing, delays, and prioritization recommendations. Projects underway include improvements to the intersections at Lowell at East Street and Lowell at North Street. These intersections have both been designed and will be substantially constructed utilizing a 'Bottle-neck' grant obtained through MassDOT. Construction is anticipated in construction calendar year 2024. 19, Street Improvements - $2,707,321 (Tax Levy): This is an annual request for the street resurfacing and maintenance program. In addition to the $2,707,321 appropriated from the tax levy, $974,012 of Chapter 90 funds will be utilized. (Chapter 90 funding is based on Lexington"s most recent allocation and on the current state allocation of $200 million statewide.) Funds will be used for design, inspections, planning, repair., patching, crack sealing and construction of roadways and roadway related infrastructure including repair and installation of sidewalks. A pavement management system is utilized to assist in analyzing the road network and selecting roadways for repairs. This funding will allow for the proper improvements and repair of Lexington's streets and sidewalks, increasing their quality and safety. A preliminary list of the streets to be repaired under this article is currently being developed. Streets anticipated for completion in 2024 include Eldred Street, Appletree Lane,, Depot Square, Edison Way, Pleasant Street at Watertown Street and a portion of the Minuteman Bikeway near Town Center.

Hydrant Replacement Program - $150,000 ($75,000 Free Cash,, $75.,000 Water Retained Earnings): This is an ongoing replacement program designed to maintain the integrity of the fire protection system throughout town. Faulty hydrants need to be replaced to meet safety requirements. A list of hydrants needing replacement is generated each year during the annual inspection and flushing of hydrants by the Water and Fire Departments. The Town of Lexington has 1,747 fire hydrants in its fire protection system and the goal is to replace approximately 45 hydrants per year at a cost of $3,500 per hydrant, with labor covered by the operating budget. The expected life of a hydrant is 50 years. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-21 21. Stormwater Management Program - $1.,350,,000 (Free Cash): This is a new program combining three former programs related to stormwater management into one annual request: Townwide Culvert Replacement, Storm Drain Improvements and NPDES Compliance, and Comprehensive Stormwater Management. Many of the challenges and solutions are multi- pronged and cross over between the three programs, which creates complications in the selection and awarding of projects. By combining these projects, it creates more flexibility and agility for the Department for the improvements of stormwater throughout Lexington. The aggregated funding will be utilized for supporting the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) program with an emphasis on Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) and nutrient removal which are both required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Municipal Separated Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. These regulations are focused around improving water quality. Additionally, this request will support the stream management plan, culvert replacement and rehabilitation program, and storm drain improvements to mitigate flooding. 22, Pump Station Upgrades - $50,,000 (Sewer Retained Earnings): This is an ongoing capital program to maintain Lexington's 10 sewer pumping stations to enable better energy efficiency and avoid emergency expenditures. In 2013, an evaluation and asset management plan was developed for the sewer pump stations with the assistance of Wright-Pierce, including a detailed engineering survey of the Town's existing infrastructure. This survey helped determine current and future needs, timetable and probable costs for the proposed work. In FY2024, $75,000 was approved to update the evaluation and asset management plan, but may not full cover the full project. This request for FY2025 funding will ensure the completion of the update. 23, Sanitary Sewer System Investigation and Improvements - $1,061,210 ($500,000 Wastewater User Charges,, $561.,210 Wastewater Debt): See a detailed description of this program under Table III: Wastewater Fund Debt. 24, Water Distribution System Improvements - $2,288,900 ($1,000,000 Water User Charges; $1,,288,,900 Water Retained Earnings): This is an annual program that replaces unlined, inadequate, aged and vulnerable water mains, deteriorated service connections and eliminates dead ends in the water mains. The Town completed a hydraulic model for the entire distribution network and an asset management plan for replacing the Town's aging water infrastructure that will ensure a proactive approach for keeping Lexington's water both safe and reliable. The model identifies areas of vulnerability, water main aging, and those areas with low volumes and pressures. The asset management plan recommends the replacing 1% of our water mains on an annual basis. Beginning in FY2021, the funding source for this ongoing capital replacement program has been gradually shifting to Water user charges, with the ultimate goal of transitioning the entire program to cash funding over 11 years. While rate payers may pay slightly higher water rates in the short-term! significant debt service savings will be realized, resulting in lower overall costs in the long-term. This is the fifth year of transition and $1,000,000 is being requested from water user fees. Water mains were recently replaced on Lowell Street (from Maple to Summer Street) as part of a joint project with the Town of Burlington and the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority. Future water main replacements are anticipated on Vine Street, Hayden Avenue, and Marshall Road. A booster pump is planned for the low-pressure area along Fairfield Street. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-22 25. Cemetery Collumbarium Design - $50,,000 (Free Cash): The FY2025 funding request is for layout and design services for a columbarium (a structure with niches to store funeral urns with cremated remains) at Westview Cemetery. Due to the rising number of cremations, an option for interring urns has been requested by many residents. Currently urns are interred in traditional burial plots. A columbarium is a more efficient use of cemetery space and will provide an additional option for those choosing cremation while freeing up traditional burial plots. A request for construction funding of a columbarium is expected in FY2026. 26. Public Parking Lot Improvement Design - $15,,000 (Free Cash): This request is for the redesign of the public parking lots located in downtown Lexington, including the Depot lot, the lot between Edison Way and the Depot (behind CVS pharmacy), and the lot between Waltham Street and Muzzey Street (behind Michelson's Shoes). These lots are currently in fair to poor condition with inefficient circulation and parking layouts. This FY2025 request will supplement previously allocated funds and will be used to advance the 100% design and finalize PS&E (plans, specifications and estimates) for the Muzzey Street and Library parking lots. These plans will also help to understand and refine the overall construction cost of the project. This redesign work will improve efficiency, circulation and aesthetics of the parting lots. 27, Tucker Avenue Street Acceptance - $30,,000 (Free Cash): The residents of Tucker Avenue have submitted a request to have the street brought up to Town standards and accepted by the Town. This acceptance would increase the length of town roadways, which in turn will result in a small increase in yearly funding received from the state in Chapter 90 allotments. This asset will fall under the town's asset management program; once completed, proper preservation can extend the life of the road 20 to 30 years or more. The street acceptance must be approved by Town Meeting, however the cost of road construction will ultimately be borne by the residents of Tucker Avenue through the assessment of street betterments. 28, Network Core Equipment Replacement - $550,,000 (Free Cash): This multi-year capital program is to replace aging equipment or add equipment that functions as the core or head end for the Town network. The head end is made up of many components including, but not limited to, routers, switches, DNS servers, firewalls, access control devices, e-mail spam filters, and web access control devices. The overall purpose of the head end is to provide security and to manage network traffic. In FY2024 funding was approved to install a new redundant network core, router and firewalls in the new Police Station (completion expected in 2024). This new network core will become our primary core and require approximately 10 times the number of fiber connections as our current core due to the increased count in connections with the new Fiber Municipal Area Network (FMAN). The FY2025 funding request is to add additional modules to the new core to allow compatibility with the new FMAN network, including the purchase of hardware and technical services for installation. It should be noted that technology costs have increased significantly over the past couple of years, driving up costs especially on networking equipment. 29. Municipal Technology Improvement Program - $550,,000 (Free Cash): This capital program funds major municipal technology improvements including servers, Storage Area Network (SAN)/data arrays and other critical Town hardware and components. New infrastructure is obtained with a focus to achieve technical consolidation, energy savings, reduction in financial burdens and reduction in staff maintenance time while increasing management efficiencies, increasing reliability and introducing new capabilities. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-23 The request for FY2025 will fund the purchase and installation of a server/SAN environment in the new PD server room. This new environment will be used to migrate away from hardware that was installed in 2020 in another server room that is reaching end-of-life. In future years this program is expected to increase data storage capacity and expand backup capacity to match the Town's growth and storage needs. In addition to SAN needs, hardware and licensing may be purchased to assist with data transfer to cloud services including back-up and Disaster Recovery (DR). 30. Network Redundancy & Improvement Plan - $998,,500 (Free Cash): This is a multi- phase request to build a standalone fiber network for town computing and communications in an effort to achieve redundancy and vendor-independent capability. The purpose of this program is to both improve the resiliency of the Townwide fiber network and to provide better networked services. This includes enhancement of communications within municipal buildings through the installation of wireless access to our wide area and local area networks. This will protect communication (both data and voice) between sites that are assessed as critical to the daily function and safety of the Town. The first phase of this project in FY2023 was $945,000 to construct multi-loop core infrastructure to top-tier critical buildings. The second-phase request of $988,094 in FY2024 was to complete phase I, and additionally fund fiber connections to tier 2 and tier 3 sites. This third phase includes the purchase and installation of the equipment to connect the tier 2 and tier 3 sites to the new FMAN and vendor services for network programming assistance. 31, Network Technology Improvements - $161,,000 (Free Cash): The general purpose is to replace old network related equipment. The first part of this capital program is for funding the replacement of all end-of-life (EOL) WiFi Access Points (APs) units located throughout the various municipal buildings in Town. These provide local wireless internet to each building for staff and public use. The second part of this capital program is for funding the replacement of end-of-life network switches in municipal buildings or public safety antenna sites (e.g. Water Tower, Avalon, etc.). 32m Scanning - Electronic Document Management - $110,,000 (Free Cash): This is an ongoing program to scan existing physical documentation into the Town's document management systems (Laserfiche and Tyler Content Manager). This effort will support continued efforts to migrate to paperless workflows. Once workflows have been established and no additional paper records are being created, historical records are scanned to ensure a complete repository and to allow departments to reclaim the physical space previously occupied by their records. 33, Archives & Records Management - $20.rOOO (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 FY2025 request will include the conservation and preservation of Fire Department Journals 1927-1929, Marriage Intentions 1850-1897, Marriage Intentions 1889-1908, and Planning Board Records, Volume 1. 1918-1930 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. FY2025 Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 18, 2024 XI-24 34. Election Equipment Upgrade - $64,865 (Free Cash): This request is to upgrade current election equipment. New provisions under the VOTES Act have increased election participation, putting greater wear and tear on our equipment. Participation is expected to increase during the 2024 Presidential election season and existing equipment is nearing end-of-life. New tabulator machines will allow for faster processing at upcoming elections and avoid costly maintenance fees. 35, Sustainable Capital Initiatives - $35.,000 (Free Cash): This is a new capital program to fund sustainable capital initiatives including electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and infrastructure. In the future this program may also include the study, design and construction of rooftop solar or solar canopies,, including battery storage; and other projects identified by the Sustainability and Resilience Officer to move the Town towards achieving its sustainability goals. The FY2025 request is for funding the purchase and installation of two or more electric vehicle charging stations. At least one EV charging station would be installed at the Town Office Building, primarily for charging municipal fleet vehicles, but could be utilized by the public outside of operating hours. This request is expected to fund a second charger in a location that is to be determined. Other CPA Funded Projects 36. LexHAB Affordable Housing Support., Restoration,, Preservation & Decarbonization - $482,365 (CPA): This FY25 request seeks funding for the preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration of 26 Lexington Housing Assistance Board (LexHAB) affordable housing units. The scope of the work at these units varies by property. There will be preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration projects at seven units which were acquired with CPA funds, including kitchen and bath renovations, floor replacements, exterior painting, water and HVAC replacements, and new appliances; and decarbonization initiatives at three properties, including the installation of solar panels and gas to electric conversions. This funding request will also cover preservation projects at nineteen LexHAB-operated units not acquired with CPA funds. These include door replacements, exterior painting, retaining wall replacement, and driveway and walkway replacements. All improvements are intended to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the units. This request also seeks funding support to subsidize the rents of LexHAB's lowest income tenants. 37. Affordable Housing Trust (AHT) Funding - $3,F200,r000 (CPA): This request is to fund the Lexington AHT by providing CPA seed money for affordable housing, and to allow the AHT greater flexibility in purchasing property and competing with for-profit developers in the real estate market. 38m Lexington Housing Authority Exterior Preservation - $100,000 (CPA): This request is to finance the preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of a Lexington Housing Authority (LHA) duplex at 561/563 Massachusetts Ave. Improvements will include siding, windows and exterior door replacement which will ensure the continued safety and functionality of the units.

Please note there are two potential locations identified as (1) and (2)that were included in the Call for Artists based on discussions with the Lex250 Project Advisors and DPW. The final site will be one of these two sites, depending on the artist's design(one artist did ask whether it could be on both sites). The Town Manager is recommending approving both sites as a potential site for the monument. SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to approve sites (1) and (2) as shown on the attached plan.

Commercial . . . . . . . . . . .. Residential N Site Considerations: 1. Design/installation Restrictions&Considerations a. Installation Considerations: Due to the proposed site's topography the installation of the artwork may need special equipment like a crane to lift it from the road onto the site, depending on the size and weight of the artwork. Proposals should include a plan for installing the artwork on the site with the appropriate equipment as needed. The final installation will need to be complete by March 15, 2025, to be in place for the 250th Anniversary Celebration. b. Artwork Base: The artwork's base or foundation will need to be hand dug or utilize special equipment (such as a Bobcat excavator)to prepare the site for the concrete placement or base. Concrete installation will need to be performed via a pump truck due to limited site access. Due to winter conditions, the base or foundation will need to be installed by October 1, 2024. c. ADA Accessibility: Installation must be approachable by persons of differing abilities, such as those in mobility assisted devices and individuals with vision impairments. Consider protrusions, obstructions, and trip hazards in proposed designs and how they might limit access or hinder approach. 1. Stakeholder Feedback Regarding the Site 11. The artwork should be the primary focus of Belfry Hill, and sited at either of the suggested locations, as a key element to the area. 111. The artwork should be designed with consideration of the look, feel, and shape of the park and should be in keeping with and/or complementary to the visual aesthetics of the space. IV. It is important for the artist/artist team to reflect on the location of the Belfry Hill in relationship to historically significant context of the site, including monuments, buildings and Battle Green. The Battle Green Master Plan provides guidance on focal points and views that also apply to the site (see page 83 of the plan).
