UPDATES &ERRATA TO CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2017 ATM&STM 2017-1
This document provides updates and corrections to the Committee's report. The updates reflect the
changes that have come to the Committee's attention as of the publication of this document or
revised Committee positions and explanations that were either verbally made to Town Meeting
during its deliberations or that are expected still to be presented to the 2017 ATM. (If an update is
material to the Committee's position as verbally presented to the Meeting, the change from the
original report was or will be identified at the time of that presentation.)
Page 1: In the 3rd paragraph, last sentence: Change "different, but our current enrollment is 2,185" to
"different;but our enrollment as of October 1, 2016, and submitted to the State, is 2,185".
Pages 3 &4: Substitute the first two of the eight attached pages. For Article 10(d), CEC Difference has
been removed; Article 10 CPF dollar amounts revised as addressed below (including changes to
"Indefinite Postponement" (IP)); Article 18, dollar amount has been added; and for Article 12(k), while
total dollar amount is unchanged, it has been divided between two columns.)
Page 10, 2nd Bullet: Replace, in its entirety,with:
Excluding the many tens of millions of dollars of to-be-determined(TBD) entries, the total in this
Committee's Plan for FY2019–FY2022 is almost $116 million. The TBD entries include future
construction phases and yet to be determined elements of projects for which there may be
additional phases not yet specified or significant unknowns in the cost estimates (e.g., the
Lexington Public School Educational Capacity Increase or Center Streetscape Project). In
addition, there are several items on the Projects Agenda for which planning does not yet allow
reliable estimates, even for peacekeepers (including renovation to the Hosmer House, eventual
repurposing of Town-owned unit in the Muzzey Condominiums).
Pages 11-13: Substitute the third through fifth of the eight attached pages. In FY2018, CPF dollar
amounts have been revised (including changes due to IP); the Visitors Center now has the requested
amount—with that footnote text rephrased and updated for an amendment—and an adjusted FY2019
amount; the Parking Lot for Community Center now has the requested amount; and the Community
Center Sidewalk's request has now been deferred with a new footnote addressing the amount now being
in FY2019. In the out–years, the Police Headquarters Replacement amounts have been increased and the
Municipal Technology Program amounts have been corrected.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2017 ATM&STM 2017-1 (with Updates&Errata)
DRAFT CEC FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL PLAN(FY2018–FY2022)1 (continued)
FOOTNOTES
1The following apply to all items below: (a)all actions or positions cited, unless otherwise identified, have been taken by this Committee; (b)the
amounts include all fund sources; (c)"TBD" indicates undefined at present, but the potential exists for one or more requests in those years; (d) most
FY2018–FY2021 amounts are not presented on an inflation-adjusted basis; and(e) individual amounts may be below the $25,000 capital threshold if
projected to be funded from the CPF.
2May serve the Town for Recreation, Community Housing, and/or Open Space (which could include providing land for the West Lexington Greenway
Project).It is likely that a major portion of the funding would be request from the CPF.
3Although an FY2018$25,000 reques for a studyt is expected to be Indefinitely Postponed—with that to be accomplished by a civilian committee—the
FY2020 TBD entry is a placekeeper for any follow-on renovation,etc.,of the property.
4As of this report,while the negotations have been completed and the total dollar amount has been provided to this Committee,the details of the outcome
have not yet been provided to this Committee so there is no recommendation yet by this Committee.
5Update of Transportation Mitigation Overlay District Plan.
6This Committee hopes this can be accomplished earlier.
7Placekeeper for when the Federal Communications Commission issues an expected directive that requires public-safety radios change to another
frequency band.
8FY2022 includes$100,000 for Outdoor Pickleball Court Construction and$200,000 for Cricket Field Constuction.As it is not known whether the introduction
of those two activities would be accomplished by repurposing existing facilities(thereby replacing an existing use)or by acquistion of new recreation land,
this Committee has reservations about the plan to effect those actions.
9While this Committee recognizes the need for the reconstruction, additional information is needed to confirm there'd be no interference with this site when
the High-School Upgrade is underway.
10lncludes both design funding(ATM)and construction funding(STM)
11FY2018 includes both design (ATM) and construction funding (STM. FY2020 is a placekeeper for Police Headquarters swing space if decision is to
renovate its current location rather than permanently relocating to 173 Bedford Street.
12lncludes deferred replacement of the Bridge School Roof.
13lncludes both design funding(ATM)and construction funding(STM).Amounts are not net of the hoped-for 25%reimbursement by the MSBA.
14Fund Feasibility Study in MSBA process.Amounts is not net of what would hoped-for 25%reimbursement by the MSBA if project accepted by MSBA.
15Additional capacity enhancements may be needed(e.g.,for the Elementary&High School).
16lncludes both design funding(ATM)and construction funding(STM);$18,300,000 for LCP;$6,100,000 for Municipal Uses(e.g.,LexCC).
17FY2018 had$477,320 deferred;that amount put in FY2019 as a placekeeper for execution of the deferred scope(or more).
18Moved from DPW as expect DPF to execute the project.
19This Committee only supports funding at this ATM to complete Schematic Design using the$131,000 remaining in available,already appropriated funds,
and an additional FY2018$21,000 for on-site design to carry the project from its current Conceptual Design to Schematic Design—and will offer an
Amendment to the Motion to change the$100,000 request to$21,000.The FY2019 amount has been increased from$3,815,000(the current construction
estimate,including Construction Documents)by including the current$80,000 estimate to carry the project from Schematic Design to Design Development.
Considering the use of those remaining,available,already appropriated funds,that would bring the to-complete project cost to about$4,047,000.
20Changed FY2019 to the $2,870,000 (for the first phase)that was deferred from FY2018 and slipped the two $2,500,000 entries each by one year;
however,as the previous 25%design is to be revisted with new design elements and that includes the first phase elements not yet having been established,
this Committee now considers the to-complete-all-phases current total of$7,870,000 as just a placekeeper.
21 Does not include the usually substantial Chapter 90 fundings expected annually from the State that do not require an appropriation.
22The Town's consultant(Stantec)on the sidewalk and pedestrian-ramp conditions recommended$750,000/year for what would be just extraordinary
maintenance and$825,000/year to ensure both quantity and quality.This Committee accepts the$800,000/year(current-year dollars)as a reasonable
position by the Town going forward.
23Placekeepers for design and construction as no results reported yet from the previously funded initial study. Moved this project from Police to DPW as
DPW will likely execute the project as it is on their site—with the support of DPF with regard to the planned building.
24Has been moved from Economic Development to DPW as DPW is expected to execute this project.
25$60,000 deferred from FY2018 has been entered in FY2019.
26Has been moved from Planning to DPW as DPW is expected to execute this project.
27This Committee added construction funding in FY2019.
28$220,000 deferred from FY2018 has been entered in FY2019 as a placekeeper as the proposed sidewalk is being re-designed for a new alignment.
29This Committee is expecting a long-term plan for these purchases rather than just level funding.
30These fundings from the Food Services Revolving Fund do not require an appropriation.
31Added FY2019 through FY2022 funding.
32Added as potential requests to the CPC during the time frame of this Plan.
33Added as expected requests from the CPC during the time frame of this Plan.
