Two voting systems were evaluated by a team consisting of myself, Assistant Town Clerk, Dianne Snell, Wardens, Chet Webster and Jody Schott-Marcel and IT staff member Kathy Santos. The team agreed unanimously to recommend the purchase of the Imagecast Precinct Tabulator, an LHS Associates product. This machine ranked higher in portability, access to the tabulator, font on the results tape, handling of write-ins, number of compartments, security of the unit and ballot format. The Imagecast Precinct Tabulator is one of two machines certified in Massachusetts. MGL c.54 §34 specifies that a change in election systems requires a majority vote of the Board of Selectmen no later than 60 days prior to a municipal election when the electronic voting system is due to be used. Subsequent notification of the Board's vote is then required to the State Secretary by the Town Clerk within five days after such determination is made. I am requesting that the Board of Selectmen vote to approve the discontinuance of the Accuvote Voting tabulators and to authorize the use of the Imagecast Precinct Tabulators for all elections beginning in December of 2017. The wording of the vote is the following: Vote: To discontinue use of the Accuvote Voting tabulation equipment and to authorize the Town Clerk to purchase 114GECASTPRECINCT tabulation equipment to use in Lexington's elections beginning in December of 2017 and all elections and primaries (both federal and state) and all local elections from that date forward. I plan to be at your meeting on Monday, September 1 lth, should there be any questions. Please don't hesitate to contact in the meantime if you need any further information. Respectfully yours, Nathalie Rice Town Clerk cc Tom Case Kelly Axtell Donna McIntosh AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Report on Fire Station Schematic Design(40 min) PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Jeff McElravy, Tecton Architects; Pat Goddard, Consultant 1.2 SUMMARY: No vote is requested for this agenda item.

PRESENTER: ITEM Robert Beaudoin, Environ. Services NUMBER: Supt, David J Pinsonneault, DPW Dir., Jennifer Hewitt, Bdgt. Off. 1'4 SUMMARY: A vote is requested for this agenda item. At the Board's meeting on August 14, staff reviewed the Compost Revolving Account for long-term viability due to the impact of the solar installation and the current and anticipated capital needs at the Hartwell Avenue Compost Site. This site is a valuable resource for the residents of Lexington and for Town Department activities. Staff has proposed fee increases and new revenue sources in order to cover the costs of operating the facility. Proposed fees are comparable to or less than the market rates of other similar facilities in the region. SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to adopt the proposed fee schedule for the Hartwell Avenue Compost operation as presented, effective March 1, 2018. FOLLOW-UP: Staff will update fee information on website, meet with vendors, etc. DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 9/11/2017 8:25 p.m. ATTACHMENTS: Description Type D V h tan o� l AvePrice Roe Kdo Q'ira a RUr tiarnr.

However, the recent reduction in the composting footprint due to the solar project installation has required several adjustments to site operations, including suspending acceptance of yard waste from the Town of Arlington in FY2017. Town Meeting has recently authorized several purchases, including a Windrow Turner, a screener, and replacement of the pre-fab office. However, the footprint change and additional debt service costs are putting pressure on the fund to remain self- sufficient. ISSUE The Board of Selectmen has asked for a long-term sustainability analysis, which is attached in Appendix A. It projects ongoing costs supported by the Compost Revolving Fund (compensation, benefits, expenses and debt service), as well as current revenues. Without further action, the analysis projects that beginning in FY2017, and intensifying in FY2019 and beyond, there will be annual shortfalls, primarily caused by increasing debt service costs and the loss of revenue from Arlington. In general, an additional $200,000 in annual revenue is needed to support long-term sustainability. The purpose of this memo is to lay out options to address the shortfall, and to position the Hartwell Avenue Compost operation to be self-sustaining well into the future. REVENUE OPTIONS Options for generating additional revenue are broken out based on the anticipated timeframe for implementation. Short-term projects are those that are recommended for implementation this Fall and are generally more straightforward to undertake. Longer-term projects are those that may take a year or more to implement, and may require further research or policy guidance. Finally, other projects are more aspirational, and provide a larger vision for potential future use of the site. If management is supportive of these initiatives, staff will develop an implementation plan for the selected projects. 1 SHORT-TERM—FALL 2017 IMPLEMENTATION 1. Adjust Current Rates —Hartwell Avenue generates revenue from disposal fees (punch cards and permits) and the sale of finished products. The rates for both disposal and sales have not increased since 2005.

For the disposal of brush up to 4 inches in diameter, contractors must purchase a"green punch card" for $85.00 for the disposal of 10 cubic yards ($8.50/CY). The Needham Compost facility charges contractors $50 per ton, which equates to $10/CY for yard waste, and $15/CY for brush. The closest yard waste disposal facility to Lexington is Landscape Express in Woburn which charges $10/CY for yard waste, and $15/CY for grass clippings. Private contractors surveyed charge $9 or $10/CY, for an overall average of$9.60/CY for yard waste, $10.60 for grass and $14.33 for brush(<8" diameter). Staff recommend increasing the fee to $9/CY (28.5%)for yard waste and $10/CY (17.6%) for brush, which is still below our competitors. The increases are projected to generate an additional $4,750 per year for punch cards alone, and would take effect as of January 1, 2018, for all new punchcards sold. b. Contractor Permits—By purchasing an annual permit, contractors can dispose of an unlimited amount of yard waste from mid-March through mid-December. The permit fees range from $600/year for a vehicle with a capacity of 2 cubic yards up to $3,000/year for a vehicle with a capacity of 25 cubic yards. Because of the varied permit fees, vehicle sizes and unlimited disposal, accurate rates per cubic yard are not available. Staff estimate an average of$4.50 per cubic yard. Staff recommend increasing the permit fees by 28.5%, in line with punch card increases, which would equate to an increase of$1.25/CY, and is projected to generate an additional $22,500 per year. Current and proposed permit rates are detailed in Appendix C. New rates would take effect as of January 1, 2018, for the 2018 season. In addition, staff recognize that there is a"loophole" in the current permit structure where contractors with large vehicles dispose of significantly more yard waste than intended by the fee structure. Staff propose to close that loophole by transitioning the permits for vehicles and roll-off containers over 15 CY to a per load payment system. c. Compost Product Sales—The sale of soil products such as screened loam, compost and 50/50 blend material has grown from a total of about 3,500 cubic yards sold in 2005 to nearly 27,000 cubic yards sold in 2016. Current rates of$15-$17.50/CY are fairly low, especially compared with local contractors, which average $25-$31/CY, thus staff recommend increasing the price of finished product to $18-$20 (14-20%)to generate an additional $78,000 in revenue per year. New rates would take effect as of January 1, 2018, for the 2018 season. 2. Strategic Use of Hartwell Capacity— The addition of the A-60 Windrow Turner turns a windrow of yard waste from the inside out, producing sellable compost in 4-6 months rather than one year using conventional loaders. This in turn means that Hartwell Avenue will continue to process 50,000 cubic yards of yard waste per year on a smaller footprint. Yard waste from Lexington curbside collections and resident drop offs generates approximately 10,000-15,000 CY, and landscaper permits generate an additional 20,000 CY, leaving a remaining capacity of 15,000-20,000 CY. 4 a. Arlington MOA—In the past, that additional capacity was filled via a Memorandum of Agreement(MOA)with Arlington, which generated up to 15,000 CY of yard waste per year. Income from the Arlington MOA consisted of$100,0004110,000 in disposal fees, plus $40,000 in sales from 2,750 CY of finished compost sold at $15/CY. When service was suspended in FY2017, Lexington agreed to offer Arlington the right of first refusal to resume use of Hartwell for their yard waste disposal. However, initial conversations with Arlington DPW staff reveal that they have been happy with the replacement disposal arrangement, so will likely extend that going forward. Staff view this as an opportunity to diversify operations. b. One-Year Pilot Municipal Drop-Off— The heaviest demand for yard waste disposal is October to December. Using the rate chart below, staff recommend developing a pilot program to accept clean yard waste from other municipalities. Towns would respond to get added to the list, and would be able to reserve up to a set amount of cubic yards of yard waste disposal. The preference would be to accept yard waste from 1 to as many as 5 municipal generators of yard waste. Arrangements could range from accepting all yard waste from a community (e.g., the Arlington model)to receiving a one-time disposal of partially processed yard waste that had been collected at a municipal lot(e.g., Belmont, Bedford, Winthrop and Winchester). After the first year, staff would re-evaluate the program and determine if adjustments such as a rolling admission or fee updates are needed. Total disposal fees from replacing the Arlington MOA would be approximately $90,000. (Sale of the compost generated is already incorporated in the compost sales proj ections.) MUNICIPAL/HAULER BULK FALL DISPOSAL RATES Disposal Drop-off of Drop-off of Unscreened Minimum Clean YW Curbside YW Compost 5,000 CY $6.00/CY 10,000 CY $5.50/CY $30 per ton $3/CY 15,000 CY $5.00/CY c. Winter Parking—Lease space at Hartwell Avenue from late-December to mid-March to private contractors for storing their vehicles. This had been done in the past and was used for large tree trucks and only a few landscape trucks, but was discontinued when NARAC was co-located with the MHP site. Revenues are contingent on available space and the number of spaces rented and are projected to range from $5,000 to $20,000 annually. 5 OTHER USES OF HARTWELL AVENUE LOT THAT IMPACT REVENUE GENERATING ACTIVITIES • Unscreened Loam/Clean Fill —In recent years, Hartwell Avenue has also received unscreened loam/clean fill from internal town construction projects and private contractors, which has reduced town construction costs by more than $500,000 on the Estabrook and Diamond school projects and the Hadley Public Services Building. We anticipate that the Hastings and Lexington Children's Place projects could similarly use Hartwell Avenue. Ample room at the site must therefore be identified to house that product. No revenue is generated by Hartwell for this service, other than the sale of the screened material back to the project, and the sale of excess material to contractors. • DPW Excavate Materials—Other DPW divisions use Hartwell Avenue to store excavate from projects such as street sweepings and water breaks. Compost staff need to develop a best practices management plan to ensure that sufficient space is available to continue to provide this function, while also supporting compost revenue generating activities. LONGER-TERM PROJECTS—IMPLEMENTATION IN 2018 3. New Products —With the improved efficiency of managing yard waste with a windrow turner compared to using loaders, and the use of a Star Screener compared to a conventional trommel screener, new opportunities for generating revenue will be available to consider. These include— a. Leaf/Bark Mulch—Utilize new star screener to produce wood chips from ground brush, and black leaf mulch from yard waste. Black leaf mulch is an alternative to traditional bark mulch and can be made from leaf yard waste and other feedstock to produce a higher value added product than screened compost. Current pricing for black leaf mulch ranges from $30-$40 per cubic yard and is becoming more popular. Contractors have inquired about the availability of leaf mulch. Compost Site staff estimate that 1,000- 2,000 cubic yards of material could be produced and sold at a rate of$30-$35/CY, generating $30,000-$70,000 in annual revenues. See attached pictures of samples of leaf mulch produced in late April at Hartwell Avenue. This spring compost site staff have produced a sample leaf mulch that we are using internally in demonstration projects. Staff is confident that 2,000 cubic yards of leaf mulched can be produced for sale in spring 2018. b. Produce "Certified Organic" Compost—The use of the windrow turner facilitates our ability to produce a"Certified Organic" compost, which meets specific criteria for processing and reaching internal temperatures during decomposition. These products are sold at a higher price than traditional compost sold in bulk. Some investment may be needed in equipment to ensure the organic standards are met, as well as a bagger to package the finished product. As an alternative, another organic compost producer may be interested in purchasing Lexington's organic materials and packaging it under their own label. The premium price differential for certified organic vs. non-organic compost ranges from $10 - $20 per cubic yard. Certified organic production requires additional testing and monitoring, the costs for which need to be calculated, but would diversify product sales to a new market. 6 c. Diversify Product Sales —Rather than simply selling compost, loam and woodchips, if those materials were used to produce further refined products, they can be sold at a higher rate. For instance, compost can be used to generate compost tea which is a liquid fertilizer or to fill SiltSoxx, used to stop silt, sediment and pollutants from leaving a jobsite, and more effective than silt fences, hay bales and straw wattles. Actual revenue impact is unknown at this point, but staff will continue to research further. 4. Equipment Rental —A number of communities have expressed interest in using the windrow turner to manage their yard waste. Needham currently rents its screening plant to other Public Works Departments for a weekly rate. Lexington could rent the windrow turner and screener as a service to surrounding municipalities for a per diem service rate. A staff member would transport the turner and/or screener to the community, operate the equipment for the day, and transport the equipment back to Lexington. The developed rate would need to cover the cost of staff time, diesel, insurance, and capital depreciation. Staff would look to Needham as a potential model for an agreement and/or rate. Due to concerns about letting such expensive new equipment off-site, staff do not endorse this option at this time. OTHER PROJECTS—ONE-TIME OR LARGER VISION,UNCERTAIN IMPLEMENTATION 5. DEP Recycling Dividend Program (RDP)— The Massachusetts DEP has recently expanded the Recycling Dividend Program (RDP)that provides grants to municipalities that have implemented specific programs and policies proven to maximize reuse, recycling and waste reduction. Lexington could qualify for an RDP grant payment of$10,800420,000 in FY2018 by implementing a variety of policies or programs such as providing access for difficult to recycle items such as carpet, textiles or bulky wood furniture or by conducting additional recycling education programs, organics collection or enforcing mandatory recycling regulations. RDP participants need to achieve a minimum of 6 points to qualify. In June 2017, Lexington had programs or policies in place to qualify for the FY2018 program, and submitted a grant application. These RDP grants funds could be used to support compost or recycling operations currently provided at Hartwell Avenue. 6. DEP Equipment Grant— The DEP funds a variety of equipment grants for organics processing equipment and for technical assistance grants to improve recycling and composting programs. This could include equipment to process compostable materials more efficiently or to purchase totters to collect recyclables or to provide assistance in improving operations. Staff continue to research options. Any grant received would be one-time in nature. 7. Foundation Funding—The Rathmann Challenge is a grant to identify ideas that will significantly expand the use of compost in the United States. Staff continue to research opportunities. Fiscal impact is uncertain, but would likely be a one-time grant. 8. Solar Panels on DPW Bins —Hartwell Avenue includes a number of DPW Material Bins, which are a natural fit for Solar Panels. The generated solar power could be used for site operations or could receive net meter credits to generate revenues. Actual revenues will depend upon the number of solar panels installed. 7 SUMMARY OF OPTIONS— SHORT-TERM FALL 2017 OPTION DESCRIPTION REVENUE IMPACT 1 Increase Current Rates la Punch Cards Increase per cubic yard rates to be closer to $4,750 but still below competition—28.5%increase lb Contractor Permits Increase annual permit at same 28.5% as $22,500 punch cards. lc Compost Product Sales Since current rates are more competitive, $78,000 increase by $1/CY (6.8%) overall, no change for 50/50 Super Loam Subtotal $105,250 2 Strategic Use of Hartwell Capacity 2a Renew Arlington Initial discussions suggest satisfied with N/A MOA current disposal site 2b One-year Pilot Develop municipal pilot program to replace $90,000 Municipal Drop-off 15,000 cubic yards (3,000 tons) of yard waste disposal capacity 2c Winter Parking Lease space for contractors to store $5,000- equipment from mid-December to mid- $20,000 March.

The following reports are included for your reference: • FY2017 Operating Results for the water and wastewater operations • Water and wastewater expenditure history including proposed amendments to the FY2018 budgets adopted at the 2017 annual town meeting to serve as the basis for proposed FY2018 rates • Water consumption history for FY2008 to FY2017 including estimates of FY2018 usage to be used in calculating proposed FY2018 water and wastewater rates • A history of water purchased from the MWRA, by month, from 1998 through July, 2017 ■ Preliminary FY2018 water and wastewater rates. ■ A presentation of the combined impact of FY2018 water and wastewater rates at various levels of annual usage ■ A history of combined rate increases in Lexington and their impact on the cost for the household of average usage • Retained earnings history for the water and wastewater funds ■ MWRA Advisory Board: Annual Water and Wastewater Retail Rate Survey, November 2016 FY2017 Water and Wastewater operating results and FY2018 Water and Wastewater Budgets: FY2017 Water Operating Results: As shown on page 1 attached, unaudited FY2017 operating results were positive for both revenues collected and expenditures generating a surplus of approximately $1,474,000 of which approximately $103,000 is from expenditures under budget and $1,371,000 is from revenue in excess of estimates. For FY2017 surplus revenues were primarily driven by excess water usage in the summer of 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE• LEXINGTON,MASSAtn'HUSETTS 02420 2016 which experienced drought conditions, generating approximately $1,370,000 more than estimated. A review of FY2017 usage versus estimates (see page 2 attached) shows the largest drivers of excess usage attributable to irrigation accounts (approximately $951,000 in surplus revenue), domestic usage from all three tiers (approximately $171,000 in combined surplus revenue) and Bedford (generating approximately $158,000 in surplus revenue). A second factor is actual non-rate revenue approximately $33,000 in excess of estimates. FY2018 Water Budget: There is one change proposed to the FY2018 budget as adopted at the 2017 annual town meeting: a $28,673 decrease in the FY2018 MWRA assessment based on the final assessment adopted by the MWRA Board of Directors in June, 2017. (See page 4 attached) Based on the proposed revision to the FY2018 water budget noted above, the FY2018 water budget will be $10,722,659 inclusive of indirect costs, which represents a $43,632 decrease, or -0.4%, from the final FY2017 budget. The largest driver of the decrease in our water budget is a $130,530 decrease, or -1.8%, in our MWRA assessment. The decrease in Lexington's MWRA assessment is primarily attributable to a 3.6% decrease in water purchased from the MWRA between calendar year 2015 and 2016 (the FY2018 assessment is a function of the Town's calendar year 2016 purchases of water from the MWRA). The decrease in water purchased was partly offset by a 3.1% increase in the FY2018 MWRA wholesale water rate. FY2017 Wastewater Operating Results: As shown on page 5 attached, unaudited FY2017 operating results reflect a revenue deficit, but positive results on expenditures. The FY2017 revenue deficit of $298,112 was mainly a timing issue as a number of large payments (approximately $793,000) were received after June 30, 2017. Had these payments been received in the fiscal year they were billed, FY2017 revenue would have exceeded estimates by approximately $495,000, all of which is attributable to usage in excess of projections. The revenue deficit was partly offset by expenditures lower than budget by $78,497. FY2018 Wastewater Budget: There is one change proposed to the budget as adopted at the 2017 annual town meeting: a $50,907 decrease in the MWRA assessment based on the final assessment adopted by the MWRA Board of Directors in June 2017 (see page 6 attached). Based on the proposed revision to the FY2018 Wastewater budget noted above, the FY2018 wastewater budget will be $9,682,514 inclusive of indirect costs, which represents a $285,767 decrease, or 3.0%, over the final FY2017 budget. On a combined basis, water and wastewater budgets are increasing 1.2% from FY2017 to FY2018. �n Proposed FY2018 Rates: Preliminary water and sewer rates are proposed to increase 1.4%, on a combined basis for the average user of 120 hundred cubic feet (hcf), reflecting a 3.4% increase in water rates (page 7 attached) and a 0.3% increase in wastewater rates (page 8 attached). A factor that is proposed to mitigate additional increases in FY2018 water rates is the use of $168,000 of retained earnings attributable to Bedford usage in excess of estimates for calendar year 2016 (the FY2018 assessment is a function of CY 2016 usage). In FY2016, additional Bedford usage resulted in excess revenue of approximately $163,500, of which $73,000 (attributable to the first six months of CY 2016) was appropriated as retained earnings for FY2018 under Article 5 of the 2017 ATM to offset the FY2018 MWRA assessment. In FY2017, Bedford usage in excess of estimates resulted in excess revenue of approximately $158,000 of which approximately $95,000 (attributable to the last six months of CY 2016) is proposed to be appropriated as retained earnings at the upcoming October 2017 STM — supplemental to the $73,000 voted last Spring - to mitigate the increase in water rates. The impact of the proposed FY2018 rates on a low (50 hcf), average (120 hcf) and high user (240 hcf) is shown on page 9 attached. Also shown is the impact on a hypothetical commercial user of 1000 hcf per year. Assumptions on estimated usage to build the preliminary FY2018 rates are shown on page 2 attached. In an effort to show wet year versus dry variations, the history of water purchased from the MWRA by month and fiscal year from 1998 to 2016 is shown in the attached page 3. Based on review and analysis of the data shown on pages 2 and 3, some projected usage has been adjusted based on preliminary FY2018 results, most significantly, the decrease in estimated irrigation usage. Historical Rate Increases: Cost Impact on Household of Average Usage For the period FY2006 to FY2017, the table below depicts the impact of annual changes from in water and wastewater rates on the costs of a household using 120 HCF annually, the MWRA's determination of average household usage throughout its system. For FY2018 the proposed rates would increase the annual combined cost of water and sewer for an average household by $20.80, or 1.4%. nrw Annual Water/Sewer Charges for Household Using 120 HCFNear $ Change %Change from Prior from Prior Water Sewer Total Year Year FY2018 $ 544.40 $ 996.80 $1,541.20 $ 20.80 1.4% FY2017 $ 526.40 $ 994.00 $1,520.40 $ 40.77 2.8% FY2016 $ 501.96 $ 977.67 $1,479.63 $ (28.37) -1.9% FY2015 $483.20 $1,024.80 $1,508.00 $ 51.20 1.8% FY2014 $463.60 $1,017.20 $1,480.80 $ 73.48 1.6% FY2013 $448.00 $1,008.80 $1,456.80 $ 49.48 3.5% FY2012 $436.79 $ 970.52 $1,407.32 $ 157.28 12.6% FY2011 $ 411.60 $ 838.44 $1,250.04 $ 9.64 0.8% FY2010 $ 407.60 $ 832.80 $1,240.40 $ (48.80) -3.8% FY2009 $ 415.60 $ 873.60 $1,289.20 $ 36.40 2.9% FY2008 $ 379.20 $ 873.60 $1,252.80 $ - 0.0% FY2007 $ 379.20 $ 873.60 $1,252.80 $ 77.60 6.6% FY2006 $ 355.20 $ 820.00 $1,175.20 Average Annual Change: FY2006 to FY2017 2.5% Retained Earnings History A Retained Earnings history including estimates of retained earnings as of 6/30/17 is shown on page 10. Water retained earnings as of 6/30/2016 was $1,800,533 from which $1,020,000 was voted at the 2017 annual town meeting for capital projects and $163,500 was voted to support the FY2016 and FY2017 water operating budgets. Retained earnings as of 6/30/2017 is projected to be approximately $2,832,000 due to the positive operating results of FY2017 (see page 1), less the capital and operating uses noted above. The strong operating results for FY2017 reflected the unusually dry summer of 2016 which resulted in excess usage in irrigation and all three tiers of domestic use. Irrigation usage in excess of estimates resulted in payments of approximately $951,000 greater than projections, and the combined three tiers of domestic use resulted in payments of approximately $171,000 greater than projections. Also contributing to the positive results of FY2017 is excess usage by Bedford which resulted in payments of approximately $158,000 greater than projections. Wastewater retained earnings as of 6/30/2016 was $2,270,848 from which $1,290,000 was voted at the 2017 annual town meeting for wastewater capital. Retained earnings as of 6/30/2017 is projected to be approximately $1,873,000 due to the negative operating results of FY17 (see page 5), less the uses for capital noted above. IV It has been the practice to maintain a balance in retained earnings for a variety of reasons including the funding of unanticipated emergency spending; to cover potential revenue shortfalls; and, to serve as a source of working capital so that general fund cash — at the expense of general fund investment income - does not have to be used for water and wastewater fund operating cash. It is proposed that this practice continue and any amounts in excess of these thresholds be applied to mitigate rates or finance capital. Community Comparisons Finally, included is a comparison of Lexington's proposed rates with those of the other MWRA member communities based on the MWRA Advisory Board's Annual Water and Wastewater Retail Rate Survey issued in November 2016 (see page 11 attached).

Thank you for that opportunity. It has been an honor, education, and enjoyment to serve. I am sure that Ms. Eccles with the continued assistance of Francis Daigle and the remaining Commissioners plus the one you replace me with will make it a smooth transition and will successfully continue the HDC's mission.
