Review status of recent open meeting law(OML) complaints and discuss the adequacy of OML compliance by appointed boards and committees. RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION: FOLLOW-UP: Selectmen's Office APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 7:05 PM AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING DATE: PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: 2/9/2015 Carl F. Valente, Town Manager; Fire Chief John Wilson I.3 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Ambulance Rate Adjustment SUMMARY: The Town Manager's FYI Recommended Budget calls for an increase in ambulance rates to fund four additional firefighter/paramedics. This will permit staffing of the second ambulance 24 hours per day, five days per week. The increase in ambulance rates will bring Lexington's fee structure in line with the surrounding communities (see attached) and largely consistent with the reimbursement rates allowed by various health insurance providers. RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to approve the Town's ambulance rates as proposed, to be implemented as soon as the Town's billing provider can do so. FOLLOW-UP: Fire Department will work with billing provider on this rate change. APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 7:15 PM ATTACHMENTS: Description Type D Recommendation from Chief Wilson Backup Material S MID APRIL MEMORANDUM TO: Carl Valente, Town Manager FROM: John Wilson, Fire Chief DATE: February 5, 2015 SUBJECT: Ambulance Fees The fire department would like to recommend to the Board of Selectmen an increase in our ambulance fees. Lexington's current rates are the lowest in the area and fall well below the average of our surrounding communities. By increasing the fees,we would be able to fund additional ambulance staff to provide a better service to our citizens. We are also recommending going to a flat fee structure and do away with the"a lac e" system we currently use. The rates we are recommending fall in line with what our surrounding communities are charging: • Basic Life Support: $1,251.00 • Advanced Life support category 1. $1,515.00 • Advanced Life Support category 2: $2,056.00 • Mileage: $28.00 per mile Jy M at 177S Town of Lexington Fire Department John A Wilson Tel: (781) 862-0272 Chief of Department Fax: (781) 861-2791 February 5, 2015 The Board of Selectmen Town of Lexington The ambulance service run by the fire department has been very successful in providing a is response with highly trained emergency personnel, which provides our citizens with the medical intervention they deserve. Charging for this service helps offset the cost of run it; paying personnel, purchasing ambulances, and the equipment and supplies are just some of the costs associated with running this service. The Town has not raised its ambulance rates since 2008 for a variety of reasons. Currently Lexington has the lowest rates in the area and most likely the State. We are requesting that the rates be raised to reflect the average rates being charged in our area(see fee comparison),, We had our ambulance billing company (Pro EMS) model the new fee structure to project the net results of this increase. The results are based on Lexington's actual receipts using last fiscal year's call volume and collection rate (see projected revenue). The fire department is looking to improve our ambulance service by providing a second ambulance 24 hours a day, five days a week. This increase in fees will fund the additional personnel needed to provide this service. Respectfully, John A.

notification of the two Special Town Meetings and the Annual Town Meeting and advises residents of the various issues being considered at the meetings. Only articles listed in these warrants may be discussed. The purpose of the warrant is to inform citizens of the issues to be discussed and does not provide for detailed information about the articles. Articles for the Annual Town Meeting are grouped in three categories: Financial, General and Zoning. Descriptions are provided in an attempt to make the warrant useful and understandable. One of the most important votes that take place at the Annual Town Meeting is the budget. We urge citizens to read the budget, understand it, and help us find a way to foster excellence within the community. The Annual Town Meeting Warrant includes the Town Manager's Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan for Fiscal Year 2016. Between now and Town Meeting there will be multiple meetings to develop a comprehensive recommended budget for Town Meeting. That budget will be delivered to all Town Meeting Members prior to the consideration of any financial articles by Town Meeting. Additional information about the preliminary budget can be found at: http://www.lexingtonma.gov/FY2016%2OTotal%20 White%2OBook(D.Pdf. BOARD OF SELECTMEN Joseph N. Pato, Chairman Peter C.J.

In order to provide everyone with a better understanding of the meaning,the following definitions are provided. AVAILABLE FUNDS- "FREE CASH" The amount certified annually by the Bureau of Accounts, Department of Revenue. The certified amount is the Unreserved Fund Balance less all outstanding taxes. This fund may be used by a vote of the town meeting as available funds for appropriation. AVAILABLE FUNDS- OTHER Usually refers to balances in special funds or to balances remaining in specific articles previously appropriated. These balances become available for re-appropriation by Town Meeting (or are returned to the town's general fund balance). "CHERRY SHEET" A financial statement issued by the State, at one time on cherry-colored paper,that itemizes state aid due to the town, and charges payable by the town to the state and county. The assessors use the Cherry Sheet to set a tax rate. GENERAL FUND The municipal fund accounts for most financial expenses and revenues approved by town meeting. The tax levy is the principal source of revenue in the general fund. ENTERPRISE FUND A self-supporting account for a specific service or program that the town operates as a separate "business." Enterprise funds do not depend on taxes for operating revenue. For example,water operations are funded through the water enterprise fund,which receives funds from a consumption based fee system. Ideally, enterprise resources and expenditures should balance over time. Funds in enterprise accounts do not revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. OVERLAY The overlay is the amount raised by the Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover property tax abatements and exemptions granted by the Board of Assessors. RESERVE FUND This appropriation is voted at the annual town meeting in an amount not to exceed 5% of the tax levy of the preceding year. Transfers from the reserve fund are approved by the Appropriation Committee and may only be used for "extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures." REVOLVING FUND Revolving funds are used for a particular service. They must be re-authorized each year by a vote of Town Meeting. An overall limit on spending is set by Town Meeting but may be subsequently amended by vote of the Board of Selectmen and Appropriation Committee. The funds can be used for the service without appropriation up to the approved limit. 39 NOTES 40 ELECTION INFORMATION Local Election—Monday, March 2, 2015 Polling Hours - 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling Locations Precinct 1 School Administration Building, 146 Maple Street Precinct 2 Bowman School, Philip Road Precinct 3 Jonas Clarke Middle School, Stedman Road - enter off Waltham Street via Brookside Avenue Precinct 4 Bridge School, Middleby Road Precinct 5 School Administration Building, 146 Maple Street Precinct 6 Diamond Middle School - enter off Hancock Street @ Burlington Street traffic circle Precinct 7 Estabrook School, Grove Street-near Route 128 Precinct 8 Samuel Hadley Public Services Building, 201 Bedford Street Precinct 9 Maria Hastings School —Crosby Road @ Massachusetts Avenue (near Route 128) For further information, call the Town Clerk's Office 781-698-4550; or email TownClerk(&_ 1exin tog nma.gov .

COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT LINES Broken into 10 parts,this article aims to match zoning district lines to parcel lines. The impetus for this stems from staff s desire to clean up our geospatial and informational databases to better reflect to the public how these parcels are being used. The Planning Board was attracted to this project as it represents a first step into a bigger conversation about our small commercial districts and whether they are still properly serving the community. Although not every part of this article is as easy as the mission implies, the Board has removed the most complicated areas and is only bringing the more straightforward ones. CIVIC USE DISTRICT The civic use (CIV) zoning district is proposed to recognize the public nature of particular parcels of land and provide standards and guidelines for their continued use while ensuring that the use of these properties is related to the policies of the community, and that any development in the district, if any,will be compatible with surrounding districts and uses. CM DISTRICT (WALTHAM LINE NEAR ROUTE 128/1-95) This article addresses a long-standing court order to determine appropriate zoning for a piece of property in the southwest corner of the community. In 1993, a court ruling threw out the zoning covering the property,which was a split between CRO and RO, as it was determined to be unreasonable. This has been reflected on the Zoning Map since that time. Unzoned land is not regulated by the zoning bylaw and the Board proposes making it part of the CM district as it is the only appropriate commercial district with a higher floor to area ratio (FAR)than the CRO. SITE PLAN REVIEW APPLICABILITY When the Planning Board introduced Site Plan Review into the Bylaw in 2009,the intention was that it apply to large-scale development projects. A careful ready of the Bylaw reveals,however,that there is the potential for very large projects that never trigger this by-right review process. By adding language regarding site coverage,the Board hopes to clarify its original intent. TECHNICAL CHANGES These are minor changes not intended to change the interpretation of the bylaw in any way,but to clarify and reduce any potential for ambiguity that may exist. CB DISTRICT MORATORIUM ON BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS This article was inserted after the Selectmen's meeting of January X,2015, in response to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the issue among the Selectmen,the Planning Board, and the Center Committee. -".............

Background On May 13, 2014, the Lexington School Committee established the Ad hoc School Master Planning Committee (AhSMPC). The School Committee charged the AhSMPC to select an architectural firm specializing in educational planning, review the firm's findings on school capacities and jointly develop plans to respond to increasing enrollments. The School Committee requested the AhSMPC to address the following: I. Assess capacity findings and utilize the enrollment projections developed by the Superintendent's Enrollment Working Group (EWG), and identify short-term and long-term options to align school capacities with anticipated enrollments; 2. Propose recommendations for addressing capacity, including costs and timing; 3. Integrate the capacity recommendations into the existing Lexington Public Schools Ten-Year Facility Master Plan; 4. Make a Final Report to the School Committee. The membership of the Ad hoc School Master Planning Committee included two members appointed by the School Committee, one member appointed by the Board of Selectmen, two members appointed by the Permanent Building Committee, the Superintendent of Schools and the Director of Public Facilities. Also in attendance were liaisons from the Appropriation Committee and the Capital Expenditures Committee. In addition, individual School Committee members attended some meetings. Please refer to the end of this report for a list of participants. The AhSMPC met fifteen times from June through January 29, 2015. The first task of the AhSMPC was completed in June with the selection and contracting of Symmes Maini & McKee Associates (SMMA) to perform the capacity analysis and education planning for growing enrollments and 21" century education. On September 17, 2014 SMMA presented a capacity overview [Phase 1] to School Committee. In response to the presentation, School Committee requested several short-term and long-term options be explored for the elementary schools [Phase 2]. SMMA completed the Master Plan Phase 1, Capacity Analysis and issued the report on November 10, 2014. They also completed the Master Plan Phase 2, Elementary Schools Short Term and Long Term Options Study, and issued the report on November 10, 2014. A draft summary of Master Plan Options [Phase 3] for meeting the capacity demands of the projected enrollment growth was received on January 12, 2015. The EWG completed its final report in December of 2014 and presented the findings to School Committee on January 13, 2015. These final projections are incorporated into the AhSMPC analysis and recommendations. 1 Capacity The SMMA Capacity Analysis, dated November 10, 2014, confirmed that five of the six elementary schools are at capacity or over capacity. In addition, the Pre-K program at Harrington School will be over capacity starting in February 2015. Only the Estabrook School, which opened February of 2014, has three available classrooms. The number of elementary general education classrooms available for Lexington is 143, with 140 being used for general education for 3,024 students in 2014-2015. Five elementary schools require additional spaces for physical education, art, music, library, English Language Learners, and special education programs. The EWG final report projected an elementary enrollment for 2019-2020 of 3,188 students, with a 90% confidence limit of+/- 267. Using the same student density as in 2014-2015 (21.6 students/classroom) the 3,188 students projects to 148 classrooms. If the upper 90% capacity growth is realized (3,455 students), then 160 classrooms would be needed. SMMA used a standard of 18 students/grade for grade K classrooms and 23 students/grade for grade 1-5 classrooms. This differs slightly from the 21.6 students/classroom used by the EWG. The SMMA report also identified the capacity of both middle schools as in the range of 810 — 828 students each. Middle school room utilization is partly determined by a student team model used for grades 6-8. Currently, the two schools have a capacity of three teams per each of the three grades (9 teams per school) with a mean of 91 students per team. Due to fluctuations in grade enrollments, team size can vary from year to year. Each team is scheduled simultaneously among four classrooms for English language arts, science, social studies, and math, and then "off team" for music, art, foreign language, health,physical education, and special education classes. The 2014-2015 enrollment for Clarke Middle School is 824 and for Diamond Middle School is 793 with a total middle school population of 1,617. During this period, the average number of students per team is 90 for a total of 18 middle school teams. The EWG final report projects middle school enrollment to reach 1830 students, with a 90% confidence limit of+/-70 in 2019-2020. Using the mean density of 91 students per team with current capacity, increasing student enrollment to 1,830 students will require a capacity just over 20 teams. If the upper 90% growth is reached (1900 students), then 21 teams will be required. SMMA's capacity analysis provided a range for Lexington High School from 2,250 to 2,290 students. This capacity includes the prefabricated modular building constructed during the summer of 2014 that added ten general education classrooms, and a second prefabricated building being constructed during the summer of 2015, which will add two general education classrooms. The EWG final report projects high school enrollment to reach 2,290 students, with a 90% confidence limit of+/-120 in 2019-2020. 2 Recommendations SMMA and the AhSMPC reviewed and discussed many options for meeting the school system's capacity requirements, including grade configurations, adding space to schools, and"right sizing" of school buildings. These multiple options are included in the Phase 3 report and are summarized in a matrix included in the report. The Ad hoc School Master Planning Committee voted 6 to 1 the following recommendations to the School Committee. The minority report is attached. (Note that the recommendations are not listed in priority order.) 1. Elementary School Capacity a. Pre-K: Add space to the Pre-K program. It is likely that the current Harrington School location is the most cost effective solution, but this should be tested against a new, free standing Pre-K building or by adding this program onto a new Hastings School. b. Bowman and Bridge: Add two pre-fabricated classrooms and a music room at Bridge and Bowman Schools to give the schools flexibility in managing increasing enrollments until permanent capacity is built in other schools. As soon as permanent district-wide capacity is available, redistrict students so that Bridge and Bowman enrollment is consistent with the capacity of a 24-section school, which will reduce the need for interior renovations. c. Fiske: While the ability to add capacity at Fiske appears more difficult than other schools, it is worthwhile to perform schematics at Fiske while the other elementary schools are being studied. d. Harrington: Add brick and mortar classrooms and right size core space as appropriate. e. Hastings: Build a new Hastings School in order to add elementary school capacity and replace an obsolete building that does not meet modern educational standards. As part of the design process, confirm that the site is satisfactory for a new school. Given the need for parking,play space, and site circulation, it is expected that the old and new school buildings cannot coexist. 2. Middle School Capacity a. Diamond: Phase one is to install pre-fabricated classrooms to be used as swing space. Phase two is to construct new brick and mortar classrooms and right size the core space. In addition, Diamond is recommended to convert to Clarke's teacher planning room model to gain additional classroom capacity. The Diamond site provides a greater opportunity for expansion and thusly can accommodate more enrollment growth than Clarke Middle School. b. Clarke: Add a four or five pre-fabricated classroom addition at Clarke to address current overcrowding and the forecasted enrollment increase of approximately 140 3 students over the next three years. 3. High School Capacity With the 2013-15 additions of two pre-fabricated modular buildings at the Lexington High School, no immediate construction is recommended. Many of the functional areas of the school will remain overcrowded if enrollments levels are maintained or grow. A future expansion will likely be required within the next ten years. Timing & Costs Using the EWG Final Report as our guide, our timing reflects achieving the 50% confidence interval growth projections of the report as the first priority and having a plan to achieve the 90% confidence interval growth projection if needed in the future. An appropriation should be requested at a March 2015 Special Town Meeting to enable the Town, through the Permanent Building Committee, to contract with Architects, Owner's Project Manager(OPM), Construction Manager, and other construction professionals to manage the project. The estimated project budget costs from SMMA's Phase III report dated January 29, 2015 are as follows: School Estimated Cost Description Hastings $59,000,000 New construction without MSBA funding Brick& mortar construction, right sizing, and Pre- Harrington $24,300,000 K expansion Bride $3,680,000 Two re-fabricated classrooms and music room Bowman $3,100,000 Two pre-fabricated classrooms and music room Phase One includes $7,700,000 for a pre- fabricated building to replace the standard modular classrooms followed by Phase Two, Diamond $23,990,000 brick& mortar construction Five pre-fabricated classrooms,plus circulation Clarke $4,610,000 elements. Total: $118,680,000 The budget costs above have been estimated for a current bid and have been escalated at the annualized rate of 3.5%per annum so they represent(summer)2016 bid dollars. If either the bid dates or per annum construction cost escalation differs from the assumption, the project costs will need to be revised. Similarly, if the scope of any of these projects differs from the cost model, the costs will need to be modified accordingly. In order to provide the additional elementary and middle school capacity in conformance with the Enrollment Working Group's timed projections, the AhSMPC recommends that the School Committee request $4,080,000 at the 2015 March Special Town meeting to engage the consultant team to perform: 4 project planning, feasibility study, and schematics for all projects listed above, design development for the Harrington and the Bricks and Mortar portion of Diamond, and full design services for the projects slated for Pre-Fabricated construction. A future request will be presented at Town Meeting for the balance of design not already requested above and construction phase funding. 10 Year Facility Master Plan These recommended pre-K, elementary and middle school projects are expected to require approximately five years to complete, depending on the availability of funds and the pace of actual enrollment growth. It is anticipated that in approximately five years, a major project will be required to add space at Lexington High School. It is anticipated that work will need to be phased, with additional space being added before any existing space can be replaced.

Lexington is a wonderful place to raise a family. Although the Ad Hoc Space Master Planning Committee spent extraordinary time and effort to address our growing school age population, I believe the conclusion of the majority, to support a $120,000,000 request to rebuild or in some way alter 7 of Lexington's 9 schools, is a mistake. I came to this position first as a Selectman who has the responsibility to work with all Town departments to help them deliver important services in a cost effective way. I also have reached this position after working on many committees for over 20 years to help advance capital building projects that work for their users as well as bring good values for taxpayers. To ask the citizens to spend $120 million over the next 5 years, a cost that does not include the likely need of"right sizing"Bridge and Bowman Schools, is politically unwise and financially irresponsible. My view, which is an alternative to impacting 7 schools, some relatively new or renovated and many on sites that cannot responsibly support expansion, is to fast track a new Hastings and expand the dual-entranced Diamond. These 2 sites could very well meet our elementary and middle school needs. I don't deny the schools' needs to address the consequences of Lexington being a great Town to live in. We should all be proud of living in a Town that's desirable to young families and one that is committed to delivering a quality in-district education to all. I believe we can responsibly and justifiably bring a proposal to taxpayers. One that will let us address the needs of our schools while showing a commitment to meet short-term challenges and deliver on long-term value. I propose a funding request at the March 23rd Special Town Meeting to fast-track an analysis of the Hastings and Diamond sites, hopefully by extending our service contract with SMMA. The objective being to see if they will support a Hastings school of 600-650 elementary students, along with flexible support space. In addition, I support a 1,000 student Diamond with additional supporting program space. I believe we can get these answers by late spring at which time we could fund additional design money. I do not support "carving up" other schools or spending money for short-term modulars or additions to schools that don't have the core space or sites to handle greater enrollments. Bridge and Bowman were recently, at an expense of over $22 million,renovated for populations of 520 students each. Their districts should be "right-sized"not to exceed that number. Estabrook is brand new, it can handle more enrollment or other programs. Fiske and Harrington are each less than 10 years old and were designed for 500 students each. Their districts should be sized for that number. 6 Clarke is, at best, a challenging site. It only has one entry. It should not be expanded. Perhaps some "space mining" would help short and long term. I could support that. Knowing full well the unpredictability of forecasting enrollments, if in 3 years we see the need, I would replace Bowman using the old Hastings as swing space, giving us a new 600-student school on the east side of town. The Bridge site is also limited. The school, not likely to be replaced, would be the smallest in enrollment. As for short-term needs, I honestly believe we can get by using existing facilities with creative and more efficient space utilization. In doing so, we show the greater community that despite the need to seek additional money to meet Lexington's commitment to education we are doing so respecting the costs associated with it, the importance of good long-term value and the fact that Lexington must meet other vital capital needs.

Valente, Town Manager I.7 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Town Manager's Proposed Departmental Reorganization SUMMARY: The Town Manager and Deputy Town Manager have been reviewing departmental operations in the Town's building and land use departments to determine whether a change in the organization structure will better serve the community. The Town Manager and Deputy Town Manager recommend that the Building Commissioner's Office, Conservation Office, Economic Development Office, Planning Department and Regional Housing Services Office report to a new Assistant Town Manager for Development position. This recommendation is made to: . Improve coordination between the Town's regulatory and development offices; . Streamline the permitting process among the various regulatory departments; . Provide greater senior management involvement over these offices; and . Better balance the workload within the Town Manager's office. Further, this recommendation is also made in light of an ongoing organizational review recognizing the importance of succession planning at the senior management level. Nine of the 14 senior managers are expected to retire within the next four years. This new position, therefore, will provide the organization with flexibility and continuity as the transition among senior managers takes place. RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION: Not at this time. If the Board of Selectmen approves this change, the Board's approval will take when it takes a position on the FY16 operating budget to be recommended to Town Meeting. This vote on the operating budget is scheduled for the Board's February 23rd meeting. FOLLOW-UP: Selectmen to provide Town Manager's Office with comments/questions.

Plans are well underway to commemorate the 240t" anniversary of the Battle of Lexington! We need your support! Parades of this caliber, which the citizens of Lexington have come to expect, requires many hours of planning and organization as well as substantial funding. The Town Celebrations Committee has a strong team of dedicated volunteers to take care of the planning and organization, but we look to the generous support of the Lexington business community to help offset the costs of bringing wonderful bands, marching units and floats. The Lexington Patriots' Day Afternoon Parade attracts groups from all over New England. Enclosed is the sponsorship form of prior groups we expect to return and the associated cost of bringing them to Lexington. Your financial support is critical to ensure the quality of entertainment in a parade the citizens of Lexington expect. We are looking to you to help support the parade in one of three (3) ways: • Sponsoring a group by covering their entire cost • Co-sponsoring a group through a donation of$400 or more • Making a general donation of any amount in support of the Parade Sponsors and Co-Sponsors will receive: • A large banner bearing the name of your organization carried by volunteer parade ambassadors (or by members of your organization if you prefer) that will precede the sponsored group in the parade. Banners will include a "Boston Strong" ribbon. • Recognition from the reviewing stand and in printed local media. For answers to questions regarding sponsoring, co-sponsoring or making a general donation, please contact Dick Michelson at 781-862-1034. Please note that the deadline for the enclosed sponsorship form and payment is Tuesday, April 1, 2015. Your check should be made payable to: Town of Lexington Patriots' Day Gift Account c/o Selectmen's Office 1625 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington, MA 02420 The Town Celebrations Committee is most appreciative of those businesses that have been Parade supporters in the past, and we hope that you will continue to give generously again this year. We would also like to encourage those who have not yet contributed to the parade to consider becoming a sponsor this year. A banner in this beloved and well-attended parade is a tremendous show of support for, and involvement in -- your community!
