Detailed Description:
Property Tax Levy: The FY2019 property tax levy -net of excluded debt service -is projected to increase approximately $6.7
million, or 4.0%. The projected levy is a function of the FY2018 levy limit increased by 2.5% per Proposition 2 1/2, plus an increment
for new growth. FY2019 new growth will be a function of construction activity for the period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. FY2019
new growth is estimated at $2,500,000 based on a review of historical data on new growth.
State Aid: In FY2019, Chapter 70 projections are based on a per-pupil minimum aid increase of $25 per student as the State is now
fully funding Lexington's Foundation Aid under the Chaper 70 formula. No amounts above minimum aid are expected. Unrestricted
General Government Aid is projected to increase 2.0% from its FY2018 level, with total state aid projected to increase 1.4% Final
FY2018 state aid numbers are likely to be known in June 2018 when the Legislature adopts, and the Governor signs, the FY2019 State
budget.
Local Receipts:FY2019 projections for each category of receipt are based on the history of actual collections and projections of 3
and 5 year historical averages, unless otherwise specified in the supplemental tables of this document. FY2019 local receipts are
estimated to increase by approximately $916,850 or 7.2% over FY2018 estimates. The primary contributor to this growth is from
Motor Vehicle Excise receipts, as well as the renegotiation of leases on the Town's cell towers. FY2018 revenue was restatedtoreflect
$600,000 in net metering credits from the Hartwell Avenue solar array, which is partially offset by $410,000 in payments to the Solar
operator, both of which continue in FY2019 and beyond.
Available Funds:Available Funds are projected to increase by approximately $1.4 million or 9.4%. This increase represents a net
change driven by an approximately $185,000 decrease in Free Cash based on the preliminary estimate as of 7/1/17 compared to the
amount that was appropriated to support the FY2018 budget; and a $26,500 increase in the use of the balance from the Cemetery
Fund to reflect actual anticipated revenue in that Fund. In FY2019, it is proposed that $750,000 be used from the Health ClaimsTrust
Fund to continue progress in funding the Town's OPEB liability, thus freeing up $750,000 in the tax levy. Another componentof
Available Funds is the proposed use of $141,000 of the Transportation Demand Management Stabilization Fundto finance the
Lexpress service and the Town's contribution to the REV Shuttle. In FY2018, $324,500 was appropriated from the Capital Stabilization
Fund to fund the ongoing mitigation of the debt service impacts of the financing of large capital projects. It is proposedthat
$2,095,000 be appropriated in FY2019 to continue mitigation of debt service to hold increases to a 5% target.

Revenue Executive Summary
Revenue Offsets: Revenue Offsets are projected to increase by approximately $133,000 or 6.7%. Revenue Offsets represent the
set-aside of a portion of projected revenues needed 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 acategorical
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. Cherry Sheet Assessments assume a 3.5% increase in FY2019;
(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 FY2019 increase in total revenue offsets is driven by the set-aside of $400,000 in estimated FY2019 revenue to cover a potential
snow and ice deficit at the end of FY2018. The amount set-aside in FY2018 was $300,000, an increase of $100,000.
Enterprise Receipts: Enterprise Receipts are preliminarily projected to increase 3%. 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. These figures will be revised upon completion of an update of last year's
indirect cost analyses that is currently in progress.
Revenues Set Aside for Designated Purposes:This represents components of Total General Fund Revenues that are set aside for
designated purposes. The proposed purposes are shown below.

e Chapter 70 formula,
SummaryFY2017 state aid increased by 15%, followed by an 18% increase in FY2018. These increases reflect the increased enrollment experienced and the required state contribution under
thwhich had not previously been fully reflected in the school aid amounts. Now that the state is meeting its foundation aid requirements, the significant increases will level-off.
The FY2019 state aid projection is conservative in using an overall increase of 1.35%. Final FY2019 state aid numbers will probably not be known until June 2018 when the Legislature
adopts, and the Governor signs, the FY2019 State budget. Our first glimpse of the direction of FY2019 state aid will be reflected in the Governor's proposed FY2019 budget which will
be submitted to the Legislature in January 2018.

Certain local receipts (e.g. motor vehicle excise, licenses and permits, investment income, hotel/motel) are closely related to the overall growth in the State's economy.
