Carl F. Valente, Town Manager FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan 3 January 22, 2018 us MOg p�'}O 1775 hr1 `G x Town of Lexington 4N` 43y Town Manager's Office v an` APRIL 1r FXlNU1 Carl F. Valente, Town Manager Tel: (781) 698-4545 Kelly Axtell, Assistant Town Manager Fax: (781) 861-2921 January 22, 2018 The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Appropriation Committee and Capital Expenditures Committee: I am hereby submitting the FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan. A Sustainable Budget Reflecting Board of Selectmen Goals and Priorities Theodore Roosevelt said, "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. " (With apologies for Roosevelt's gender specific prose.) In presenting this FY2019 Preliminary Budget, the Senior Management Team and I are committed to working with the Board of Selectmen and financial committees in striking a balance in the allocation of projected revenues for Town services, educational programs and capital improvements in a manner that will be sustainable for the community, as has been articulated through the leadership actions, behaviors and visions of the Selectmen and various policy and advisory committees who have demonstrated `great enthusiasm and devotion'. A Sustainable Budget: The budget decisions you will have to make are not easy ones, particularly in light of the many important capital projects facing the Town in the coming years. The previous policy decisions by the Board of Selectmen to establish reserve funds have placed the Town in a sound financial condition. We must continue to be vigilant in our financial planning, however, as our school population continues to increase, placing increasing demands on operating and capital budgets. The Operating and Capital budgets are about priorities. These budgets should be strategic in explaining what we do, why we do it, when we do it, and how we propose to invest the 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 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 these competing demands. We hope this document is helpful in this regard. A Transparent Budget: 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. 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. This FY2019 Preliminary Budget proposes close to $220,000,000 in General Fund spending, $25,000,000 in Enterprise Fund spending, $4,000,000 in Revolving and Special Revenue Funds spending and $58,000,000 in capital projects. We hope this document is comprehensive enough so that the readers understand where Town revenue comes from and what it is spent on, yet succinct enough that the details are not overwhelming. Each year I challenge myself and the staff to improve this budget document, but know we can always do better and welcome comments to do so. Roosevelt's View on Governance is Apparent in Lexington: As I submit my 131h preliminary operating and capital budget to the Board of Selectmen I continue to witness and appreciate the Board of Selectmen's commitment to our residents through transparency and integrity in policy setting and management of Town affairs. This commitment is also seen by the dedication and actions of the hundreds of volunteers, committee members and Town Meeting Members whose primary desire is to preserve Lexington as a quality community. The Board of Selectmen can be proud of the standard it has set that we are one Community, not a series of unrelated entities and constituent groups. As noted in Roosevelt's remarks, "... it is not the critic who counts..... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..." The Lexington Board of Selectmen has distinguished itself in the long-term sustainability of its policy decisions rather than what is politically expedient. The operating and capital budget the Board recommends to Town Meeting is the single most important policy document considered each year. 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. I look forward to working with the Selectmen to address the Town's challenges in the coming years, as the one community we are. Special Thanks to Selectman Peter Kelley: The Senior Management Team wants to recognize the extraordinary contributions of `retiring' Selectman Peter Kelley. Many know Selectman Kelley for his passion for Lexington's place in history and for his admiration for those that came before us; the residents that made Lexington the community it is today. He has so many other dimensions, however. Selectman Kelly has an uncanny knack for understanding all of the moving parts of the Town's operations. His questions and observations regarding the Town's finances were always insightful and constructive. Selectman Kelley helped us all to understand and see the forest and the trees' when it came to construction projects, recognizing those aspects of a project that brought long-term value to the community. He was a champion ofthe businesses in town, small and large, and to that end was an important voice in the Town's economic 2 development efforts. And, in a more behind the scenes manner, Selectman Kelley was also a champion and supporter ofLexington's seniors and our most vulnerable residents. As Lexington's longest continuously -serving Selectman in recent decades his viewpoint, judgment and recommendations stood the test of time, for which there is no more important measure when evaluating the impact of policy actions. Other than his wife Beverly, who is similarly passionate about Lexington, few residents will ever realize or appreciate the dedication Selectman Kelley has had for Lexington and his tireless efforts in this regard. He will be missed! Very truly yours, &Te 57. ON&W& Town Manager Preliminary Budget - In Summary This budget, as submitted, is balanced given the revenue assumptions shown in Section II of this document and presented at Financial Summit II and subsequently updated. Town Manager's Overall Recommendations In light of the goals and priorities of the Board of Selectmen and the discussions at Financial Summits I -III, this preliminary budget includes the following key recommendations: Municipal and School Department Revenue Allocations — The Superintendent of Schools and Town Manager's recommended budgets are $449,000 less than the amounts allowable per the Revenue Allocation Formula presented at Financial Summit III and subsequently revised by the Board of Selectmen on December 18, 2017. • Municipal Program Improvement Requests (PIR's) — $622,174 ($563,319 general fund only) of a total of $947,508 in municipal PIR's requested are being recommended. • Capital Budget — This Preliminary Budget includes recommendations for $58,000,000 in funding for those capital projects identified as priorities by the Selectmen as well as the typical capital projects presented on a regular basis in the capital plan in order to maintain the Town's infrastructure. • Capital Stabilization Fund — Given the capital projects recently approved and those anticipated to be funded within and outside of the property tax levy limit over the next five years, every effort has been made to continue to appropriate funds to the Capital Stabilization Fund. $3,500,000 is recommended to be added to this fund. • 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 Board of Selectmen, School Committee and the financial committees. This preliminary budget provides for $370,000 in unallocated funds that can be directed towards any of these purposes during the review and vetting process. Board of Selectmen Priorities This preliminary FY2019 budget is responsive to many of the priorities identified by the Board of Selectmen during its annual goal -setting meetings, including: • Design Funds for the Police Station Facility (Goal 1): $1,862,622 is recommended for schematic and design development for the renovation/ expansion of the Police Station. • Pedestrian, Bicycle and Vehicle Safety on Town Roads (Goals 10 and 11): $6,350,000 is recommendation for the Center Streetscape Design; Sidewalk Improvements; Townwide Signalization Improvements; Pelham Road Sidewalk and Roadway Improvements -Design; and Street Improvements. • Implementation of the 20/20 Subcommittee Report (Goal 18): $15,000 is recommended for support of the Diversity Advisory Task Force. An additional $15,000 for this Task Force is included in the Superintendent of Schools' proposed budget. • Public Information/Citizen Outreach (Goal 9): $120,112 is recommended for the funding of a Public Information Officer and related expenses. • Community Mental Health Programs (Goal 13 and School Committee goal): $99,391 is recommended for funding for additional mental health staff or support related programs.

FY2019 Projected Revenues • Revenue Projections (Section II) — General Fund operating revenues are projected to increase by $7,715,137 or 3.6 percent over FY2018 projected revenues. Lexington's projected and actual revenue growth for prior years is shown below: • 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 was reviewed by the Selectmen, financial committees and School Committee at Financial Summit III. Subsequent to that discussion, the Board of Selectmen made a modification to the model, moving the general fund support of the Community Center from a gross revenue offset to the Municipal Operating Budget. The amounts shown in this Preliminary Budget and Financing Plan represent the Town Manager's and Superintendent of School's recommended FY2019 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 by the Board of Selectmen. The proposed municipal and school budgets compare to the revenue allocation as follows: Schools Municipal Total* FY2019 Revenue Allocation $ 108,644,540 $ 38,166,056 $ 146,810,596 FY2019 Recommended Budget $ 108,614,663 $ 37,746,832 $ 146,361,495 Difference $ 29,877 $ 419,224 $ 449,101 * Totals do not include Shared Costs. rA Projected Actual FY2018 4.6% NA FY2017 2.8% 3.3% FY2016 4.2% 6.2% FY2015 3.6% 2.7% FY2014 6.9% 9.0% FY2013 4.7% 5.1% FY2012 4.0% 4.6% FY2011 3.9% 5.3% FY2010 3.4% 4.6% FY2009 5.8% 4.7% • 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.

Staff is recommending a variety of fee increases, fundraising, partner contributions and grant applications to raise funds that will be dedicated to offset the cost of the proposed Visitors Center construction project. If supported by the Board of Selectmen, it is recommended that these revenues be placed in a dedicated reserve/Stabilization account and used to offset the debt service for this project, should it be approved for funding by Town Meeting. ➢ Miscellaneous Plumbing and ZBA Application Fees. Staff is recommending modest increases in certain plumbing permits and ZBA application fees. These increases are estimated to generate $71,000 annually and will offset the $63,000 increase in the Land Use, Health and Development budget to add an Administrative Assistant to the Department to help with the increasing workload. Future Revenue Considerations — While not included in this preliminary Budget, staff continues to examine options for creating a Stormwater Management Fee. The Town is now expending nearly $1,000,000 annually as part of the capital budget to comply with its National Pollution Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) permit and the Town's stormwater regulations, in addition to approximately 1.7 FTE of Engineering staff time. Stormwater management is an important community, State and national concern and while Lexington's NPDES permit was renewed in April 2016 with an effective date of July 1, 2017, it has since been placed on -hold pending further federal review. These capital and operating budget impacts will continue and increase once the NPDES permit is finalized. In anticipation of this mandated program, a number of municipalities nationwide including some in Massachusetts have instituted a Stormwater Management Fee to offset capital costs of managing stormwater emanating from private properties. Later this year, staff will be presenting financing/fee options for consideration by the Board of Selectmen regarding this federal program. 2.

The Superintendent's proposed budget, presented to the School Committee on January 2, 2018, can be found on the School Department Website at https:Hlps.lexin�ztonma.or�z/Pa�ze/10461 • Section IV of this document includes all Shared Expenses. Overall, Shared Expenses are increasing by $1,922,853 or 3.4 percent.

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 (PIR) submitted by the Department manager for evaluation by the Town Manager. A table of all Program Improvements Requests can be found in the Appendix, located in Section XII of this document. D] Key PIR recommendations in the FY2019 municipal department budgets include: 1. Add $25,000 to the Department of Facilities budget for an owner's agent for solar design and contracting. These funds will help the Town evaluate the new Hastings School, new Lexington Children's Place, new Fire Station and areas at the Hartwell Compost Facility for additional solar arrays. 2. The addition of two firefighter/paramedics to the Fire Department. This will allow the Department to staff the second ambulance 24/7 and not cross -staff the second ambulance with the ladder truck personnel on weekends, which has effectively taken that vehicle out -of -service when the second ambulance is responding to a call. Given the amount of time necessary for filling positions in the Fire Department, the $91,371 added to the budget is assuming these positions will be filled no earlier than January 2019. 3. The addition of $99,391 for a social worker or other appropriate staff or services for the Human Services Department. The use of these funds are pending the review of mental health services and programs, currently underway by the Board of Selectmen, School Committee and Human Services Committee. 4. The addition of $35,000 to begin phase 1 of evaluating Town programs and services under the Age -Friendly program, a collaborative process that recognizes the value of planning for a community that is accessible and supportive to all residents, regardless of age. This first phase will be for the Town to retain the services of the UMass Boston Gerontology Institute to conduct a community needs assessment on the well-being of Lexington residents. 5. The addition of an Administrative Assistant in the Land Use, Health and Development Department. This $63,027 cost will be offset by $72,000 in proposed permit fee adjustments. 6. The addition of $10,000 in funding for the design of a `gateway' sign for the Hartwell Avenue commercial district. 7. The addition of $15,000 in funding to support the Diversity Advisory Task Force. An additional $15,000 is recommended by the Superintendent of Schools in the proposed FY2019 School Department budget. 8. The addition of $6,900 in funding for the Council on the Arts to support a wide variety of cultural programs in the community. 10 The following table provides a summary of the FY2018 to FY2019 municipal department budget requests, as recommended by the Town Manager: Municipal Budgets FY2013 FY2018 Restated Budget FY2019 Recommended Budget FY2016 $ Change % Change Public Works $ 9,402,640 $ 9,954,459 $ 551,819 5.9% Police $ 7,247,576 $ 7,246,566 $ (1,010) 0.0% Fire $ 6,577,294 $ 6,950,710 $ 373,415 5.7% Library $ 2,534,144 $ 2,581,502 $ 47,358 1.9% Human Services $ 1,302,971 $ 1,465,284 $ 162,313 12.5% Land Use Departments $ 2,370,369 $ 2,437,636 $ 67,267 2.8% Selectmen $ 648,580 $ 635,596 $ (12,984) -2.0% Town Manager $ 808,043 $ 901,243 $ 93,200 11.5% Salary Adjustment Account $ 171,759 $ 483,030 $ 311,271 181.2% Town Committees $ 57,880 $ 60,780 $ 2,900 5.0% Finance $ 1,902,941 $ 1,888,060 $ (14,882) -0.8% Town Clerk $ 494,665$ 521,000 $ 26,336 5.3% Information Services $ 1,966,701+$ 2,311,853 $ 345,151 17.5%— 7.5%Total Tota I $ 35,485,563 1 $ 37,437,719 1 $ 1,952,1561 5.5% Proposed Appropriations Into Reserves/Trust Funds The Town maintains a variety of reserve funds. Those reserve funds that are for unforeseen purposes (General Stabilization Fund, SPED Stabilization Fund, Operating Budget Reserve Fund) are generally adequate at the current levels. The proposed budget also includes recommendations to increase certain reserves/trusts that are for targeted purposes, as shown in the tables below: OPEB Trust Fund — The purpose of this Trust fund is to continue to fund the Town's Retiree Health Insurance Liability. The present value (Town's liability) of these future benefits is approximately $200 million. Recent Appropriations into the OPEB Trust Fund The current balance in the OPEB Trust Fund is $12,090,759 as of 12131/2017 Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) — The Town is planning for a number of significant capital projects over the next five years including a new Hastings Elementary School, a new facility for the Lexington Children's Place (LCP), a new main fire station, a renovated or new police station, Center Streetscape improvements, Hartwell Avenue infrastructure improvements, and a new Visitors Center. On December 4, 2017, Lexington voters approved a Proposed 21/2 debt exclusion, for approximately $85,000,000, for a new Hastings School, a new LCP and a new main fire station.

On December 4, 2017, Lexington voters approved a Proposed 21/2 debt exclusion, for approximately $85,000,000, for a new Hastings School, a new LCP and a new main fire station. The Board of Selectmen have supported a plan to use a portion of the Capital Stabilization Fund to materially reduce the property tax impact of these projects on taxpayers. Below is the current plan for the use of the CSF to mitigate the property tax impact of these three projects and the two middle school additions/renovations and elementary school modular classrooms previously approved by the voters in May 2016.

This amount is included in the $32,481,164 of Proposed Excluded Debt Projects (Table V - FY2018 Recommended Projects - Funding Through Proposition 2 1/2 Debt Exclusion). 4 Other represents Chapter 90 Aid for street improvements. This item does not require a Town Meeting appropriation. 13 Policy Issues Policy issues to be reaffirmed or addressed by the Board of Selectmen in finalizing this preliminary budget include: • Appropriate into the Capital Stabilization Fund (CSF) — Whether to support the appropriation of $3,500,000 into the CSF. The Board of Selectmen has approved an overall plan to use this fund, in FY2019 and future years, to offset debt service for planned capital projects funded both within the tax levy and excluded from the limits of Proposition 21/2. • Appropriate from the Capital Stabilization Fund for Within -Levy Debt Service — Whether to continue to use funds from the CSF in order to limit the budgetary impact of within -levy debt service to 5 percent annually. For FY2019, $380,000 is recommended for this purpose; in FY2018, $324,500 was used. • Appropriate from the Capital Stabilization Fund for Excluded Debt Service Whether to appropriate $3,600,000 from the CSF to mitigate excluded debt service. This recommendation is consistent with previous discussions at Financial Summits. If this amount is appropriated by Town Meeting, the financial model developed by staff estimates that the total residential property tax increase in FY2019, for a home valued at $831,000, will increase by 3.2 percent (includes the 2.5% increase permitted under Proposition 21/2). This percentage may increase beyond this amount if residential property values increase faster than commercial property values. • Appropriate into the Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB) — Whether to support the appropriation of $1,829,721 into the OPEB Trust Fund. This amount is comprised of $1,079,721 from free cash and $750,000 made available from the Health Insurance Claims Trust Fund. • Unallocated Revenues for Contingencies — This recommended budget includes approximately $370,000 in unallocated revenues, primarily for three potential purposes: 1. Funding for programs, service, capital projects or reserves not currently proposed in this Preliminary Budget; 2. To balance the budget if State Aid is less than projected. The Governor's proposed FY2019 budget will be presented on January 24, 2018, providing a first indication of State Aid for FY2019. The Legislature will likely approve the FY2019 State budget, however, after the conclusion of Town Meeting; 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. 14 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 Board of Selectmen, the key FY2019 budget dates are: • January 24, 2018 — Summit IV to review this Preliminary budget; • February 13, 2018 — Summit V, if needed, to discuss outstanding FY2019 operating and capital budget issues; • February 26, 2018 — Board of Selectmen to vote recommended FY2019 budget; • March 5, 2018 — The recommended budget will be forwarded, electronically, to the Appropriation Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee and Town Meeting Members. Printed copies to follow the week of March 12''. • April 2, 2018 — Earliest date Town Meeting may consider financial articles. 15 ■ ■ e 0 0 L- a - 04 � 0 � � � @ 0 q � LL Im— \ ( b b _ /§§ \\\/ } } / 16 3 2 * / k co/= ^co mcr k)/®meg ) =oma ± 3\) f \ }/\ 3 ee a) j ) !r r !

The projected levy is a function of the FY2018 levy limit increased by 2.5% per Proposition 21/2, 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: The main driver of state aid increases in recent years has been education aid (Chapter 70). In FY2018, Lexington finally received its full funding under the Chapter 70 formula; therefore, a much smaller increase of 1.3% is anticipated for FY2019. Unrestricted Government Aid is projected to grow 2.0%, for a combined increase of 1.4%. Final FY2019 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. FY2019 local receipts are estimated to increase by approximately $982,000 or 7.7% over FY2018 estimates. The three main contributors to this growth are increases in Motor Vehicle Excise taxes, Hotel/Motel and Meals Excises, and the renegotiation of cell tower leases on Town property.

This is primarily due to a slightly less amount of certified free cash. Another component of Available Funds is the proposed use of $141,000 of the Transportation Demand Management Stabilization Fund to 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 within -levy debt service. It is proposed that $380,000 be appropriated in FY2019 to continue mitigation of debt service to limit increases to a 5% guideline the Town has tried to follow for a number of years. Revenue Offsets: Revenue Offsets are projected to decrease by approximately $16,836 or 0.8%. 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. 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, an increase of $134,750 or 50.8%. For FY2017, a deficit of $265,250 was carried forward into FY2018. 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. Enterprise Receipts are decreasing by 2.7%, or $44,397 based on an updated indirect cost analysis, and reflect the shift of the Utility Billing Manager from Finance to the Water and Wastewater Enterprise budgets.

This budget represents the culmination of work that began in late August involving dozens of members of the Lexington leadership team. The budget process is a collaborative effort developed through a wide range of input including department heads, principals, and the central office leadership team. The guiding principles behind this budget were established when the School Committee approved its Budget Guidelines on September 5, 2017. Through the continual assessment of our student needs as well as the review of our programs, resources have been allocated and reallocated to provide students with an education that ensures academic excellence, as well as support for their social and emotional well-being, in a culture of caring and respectful relationships, as outlined in the District's mission/vision statement. This budget largely represents a level service budget, which includes staffing to address the enrollment growth, with limited and targeted program improvements. During the last 5 years, Lexington has experienced K-12 enrollment growth totaling 697 students, or a 10.7% increase in overall enrollment. This continued growth requires additional resources each year to ensure that class size guidelines are met, caseloads are managed, and excellent program quality is maintained. The following budget highlights support the continued growth and improvement of the school district: Highlights: Increased ELL supports to address increasing enrollment and DESE mandates Continued support around the LHS Visioning process Additional positions to address social/emotional needs of our students Continued professional learning opportunities with Project Based Learning Continued enhancements to Technology Department (capital and operating) Support to address a district -wide strategic planning, diversity collaboration with the Town, and mental health initiatives Continued support to fund targeted program improvements The FY2019 Superintendent's Recommended Budget document provides a broad view of how the Town's resources are budgeted to align with the School Committee's goals, District Improvement Plan, and Budget Guidelines.

This process is a collaborative and public process that engages the Board of Selectmen, School Committee, the Appropriations Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee, Town and School staff, and citizens. The Finance Office is responsible for coordinating, developing, and monitoring the annual 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 concert with the outlined policy objectives. The School Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget for incorporation with the full Town budget. Major Steps in Budget Development: Summer - School Committee establishes goals and priorities 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 Administration to review existing staffing levels, review budget priorities, and discuss anticipated budget requests. During this time, a series of working summit meetings including the Board of Selectmen, School Committee, Appropriations Committee, and Capital Expenditures Committee are conducted to FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan 111-4 January 22, 2018 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts discuss the current financial health of the Town, discuss budget issues, and provide policy guidance to the Town and School staff in finalizing budget recommendations. The Superintendent, in consultation with the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Administration and the School Department's Administrative Council, reviews budget requests and makes recommendations for all School programs to the School Committee. Early Spring- A month before Town Meeting discusses financial articles, the School Committee's approved budget is distributed to Town Meeting members and the finance committees; it is also available to citizens at the Library and Town Manager's Office. In addition, the budget documents are publicly available on the Lexington Public Schools website: httDS://I S.lexinatonma.or /Page/10 61. 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 total Town budget. Budget Guidelines: On September 5, 2017, the School Committee voted the FY2019 budget guidelines and requested that the Superintendent present a level -service budget that addresses the sixteen highlighted areas. These guidelines serve as the basis for the Superintendent's Recommended Budget in FY2019. For purposes of clarification, a level -service budget is defined as the funds necessary to replicate the current level of services provided, accommodating increases in enrollment, all legal requirements, including current collective bargaining requirements and special education laws. The FY2019 budget guidelines are as follows: In order to provide for the educational needs of Lexington students, the Superintendent will develop a fiscal year 2019 budget that will: 1. Ensure all legal and contractual mandates will be met. 2. Include sufficient operating and capital funds to — (a) continue the current level of services; (b) be responsive to projected enrollment growth and corresponding needs: staffing, instructional supplies, and facility needs; (c) move the district forward in meeting the increasing demands for technology and technology services in our different educational settings; (d) implement a capital plan to expand school capacity to meet rising enrollment. 3. Ensure professional staffing guidelines will be met. 4. Maintain capital assets in order to support the instructional program, protect the physical assets of the Town of Lexington, and ensure the health and safety of our students and staff. 5. Continue to identify and plan alternatives that will provide existing services and programs in more cost-effective ways. 6. Identify ways to reduce costs, if there are insufficient monies available to fund a level -service budget.

The FY2019 request represents an increase of 6.4% over the FY2018 appropriation. 8 9 10 11 12 *Amounts sho— a re general fund only and does not reflect s pending s.ppo N,d by Labbb Gedlt,Oi it Breaker Funds, Revolving Funds, - Iota /state/federal g—tf-cl, 13 14 Transfer to Shared Services (Health, Medicare, Workers Comp) $ 443,025 26.35 FTE 15 Transfer to Article 7 (tent.) to jointly fund Diversity Task Force $ 15,000 16 17 Total Recommended $ 108,614,663 $ 6,959,481 6.85% 18 19 Unallocated from Revenue Allocation Model $ 29,878 In order to support the additional positions included in the FY2019 recommended budget and the joint Diversity Task Force effort between the Schools and Town, the total recommended budget increase is 6.85% over the FY2018 appropriation, inclusive of benefits, Medicare, and Worker's Comp costs associated with new positions. This also includes $15,000 as a joint effort between the Town and School to fund a Diversity Task Force that will be appropriated under a separate article (tentatively Article 7) at Annual Town Meeting. The FY2019 budget recommends that the salaries and wages line increase by $4,726,651 (or 5.50%) to support existing position increases and the addition of 26.35 FTE included in this budget, which cost $1,906,112 (exclusive of health, dental, Medicare, workers comp insurance costs). The expense line is recommended to increase by $1,774,805 (or 11.34%) over the FY2018 appropriation. The increase in the expense budget is largely driven by two main factors. This includes the increases in the Special Ed Transportation and Out -of -District Tuition budget lines. These two budget lines are recommended to increase by $1,553,462. This is approximately 88% of the recommended expense budget increase. The remaining 12% of the increase ($221,343) is a function of per -pupil adjustments, cost of living adjustments, and other minor expense requests. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 III - 10 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Negotiated Salary Increases: The FY2019 budget includes funding for estimated wage increases for all collective bargaining units and non-union positions. This includes both step increases and cost of living adjustments (COLA). The current status of collective bargaining agreements and corresponding expiration dates can be seen below: Bargaining Unit Contract Term LEA - Unit A 09/1/15-8/31/18 LEA - Unit C 09/01/15-08/31/18 LEA - Unit D 07/01/15-06/30/18 LEA -Tech 07/01/15-06/30/18 ALA - Administrators 07/01/17-06/30/18 Enrollment Increases and Corresponding New Positions: During the past five years, K-12 enrollment at Lexington Public Schools has increased by 697 students (+10.7%), or an average of 139 students per year (2.1% per year). These past increases have had a direct impact on the School Department operating budget each year to accommodate these new students and maintain the level of programming offered by Lexington Public Schools. The District has completed an updated version of the Lexington Public School Enrollment Projections based on the Enrollment Advisory Group's methodology utilizing the October 1, 2017 enrollment data. The updated projections are generally lower at the elementary school and higher at the secondary levels compared to last year's projections. While confidence intervals are slightly narrower at the high school level, we are seeing slightly wider confidence intervals at the middle school level and even wider intervals at the elementary school level. These projections show that next year, the K-12 enrollment is projected to increase by 152 students (7,175 to 7,327), which is an increase of 2.12%. Over the full five year period the projection shows a total increase of 738 students (for a total of 7,913 students; or 10.2% higher than current levels) from FY2018 levels (about 2.1% per year). In order to better demonstrate the full impact of increasing enrollment to date and the projected trends visually at the various levels (elementary, middle school, high school) three charts have been provided below: FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Elementary School Enrollment: History and Forecast for FY2019 to FY2023 (HDM) History Prrwrcecast —Lower 90th Upper 90th Middle School Enrollment: History and Forecast for FY2019 to FY2023 (CSM) History Lorcecast — Lower 9�Otha Upper 90thu FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 III - 12 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts 2700 2600 25M 240D 2300 z2200 2100 2000 1900 law 1200 1600 1500 1400 High School Enrollment: History and Forecast for FY2019 to FY2023 (CSM) History Forceeast tower 90th—Upper 90th In order to address the increasing enrollment projected for FY2019 (152 students, or 2.12%), additional positions are included in the recommended budget.

These additional positions will address enrollment shifts, increases, mandates per IEP requirements, and address necessary targeted program improvements. Overall, the FY2019 budget includes a total of 2.0 FTE unallocated professional staff and 4.0 FTE unallocated paraprofessional staff to address anticipated arising needs over the coming year. Developmental Learning Program (DLP) Program Review The Developmental Learning Program (DLP) in Lexington underwent a program review and its findings were presented to the School Committee on November 7, 2017. Based on this program review, the FY2019 School Department budget plans to address a number of areas. This budget includes funding to address professional learning opportunities as well as staffing and transportation costs to extend the summer school day, number of days offered during the week, as well as the overall length of the program during the summer. The District will continue to evaluate the possible addition of a tiered program at each level. If a tiered model were to be implemented, initial estimates show it will require an additional 6.0 FTE at a minimum. Additionally, the District will continue evaluating a possible increase in the length of the day at the PreK level for the DLP program. This would require an additional 0.70 FTE. The tiered model and length of the PreK day will be evaluated and considered based on actual student needs. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan III - 14 January 22, 2018 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Out of District Tuitions The FY2019 budget projects total out of district tuition expenses of $12,168,193, an increase of $1,772,423 over FY2018, before offsets. The District utilizes three offsets to reduce the general fund impact of out of district tuitions. This includes the use of pre -paid tuitions, IDEA grant, and Circuit Breaker. The gross tuition budget increase of $1,772,423 is partially reduced by projected increases in Circuit Breaker funding, IDEA grant, and use of pre -paid tuitions all totaling $555,290. This reduces the general fund out of district tuition increase to $1,217,133 to fund the cost of out of district tuitions next year. The FY2019 budget projects both an increase in the number of students funded through out of district placements, increasing from 138 to 149 students, or 7.9%. Further, the FY2019 budget projects an increase in the average cost per student funded through the out of district tuition budget, increasing from $75,332 to $81,666, an increase of 8.4%. The increase in the average cost per student is driven by the needs of the students and the cost of actual placements at these schools, rather than general inflationary drivers. Transportation Costs: Regular Education Transportation - Regular Education Transportation is recommended to increase $84,610 to address contractual rate increases. In FY2018, the School Department operated a total of 38 buses, including 7 buses to serve after-school programs at the elementary school level. The FY2019 budget continues to budget for 38 total buses however eliminates funding the elementary after school transportation program. Last spring, it was determined that this program would continue an additional year to allow parents the opportunity to find alternative options. Additionally, the FY2019 budget has been assembled to accommodate a waiver of the fee increase for Hastings Elementary School, since construction will begin on the property in FY2019. The goal is to promote ridership as much as possible at this site with the constraints placed on it from construction. This practice was utilized when Estabrook Elementary School was under construction. During the FY2018 budget process, increases to transportation fees were discussed as an option. The discounted fee has remained fixed since FY2012 at $300. The FY2019 budget does not recommend an increase at this time. However, since the School Department is evaluating changes to start times for Lexington schools in FY2020, this could have widely varied impacts to overall District transportation costs. As a result, it is recommended to contemplate a fee increase as part of evaluating school start time options when the full cost impact is known. FY2019 is the second year of a five-year agreement with C&W Transportation. Special Education Transportation - Special Education Transportation is recommended to increase $336,329. This increase is to address a projected deficit in current year special education transportation costs, additional service needs for in -district transportation for expanding in -district programs, additional out of district student transportation, and an anticipated increase in contract rates. FY2019 will be the 111 year of a three year agreement. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 III - 15 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts School Start Times: Beginning in the spring of 2017, the School Department assembled a 12 - person task force with the following goal: Research, identify priorities, and evaluate all considerations to determine If recommendation should be made to the Superintendent to consider changes to start/end times at the high school, middle school, and/or elementary school levels At this point, a total of 7 meetings have been held, with several updates provided to School Committee and the community at large. The task force has been diligent about collecting community feedback through surveys, Lexington Listens, and a community forum. The Task Force is currently in the process of evaluating the research and developing possible alternatives. Due to the complex nature of this topic, there are widely varying impacts both financial and programmatic. At the Task Force's November 201h meeting, it was determined that there was consensus to recommend at least a change to the high school start time consistent with the language included in the Middlesex League of Superintendent's joint letter. However, due to the varying impacts, it was determined that the work of this task force should continue in January and a change be contemplated for the FY2020 year. Digital Learning Vision: During FY2018, the School Department is undergoing a major initiative to continue moving our Technology Department forward. This past spring, a first phase reorganization was approved by the School Committee. The District hired a Director of Digital Learning who has been tasked with furthering the work underway addressing both the capital and operating needs of the Department. A five-year capital plan was prepared this fall aimed to address the infrastructure and device needs of the District over the coming 5 years. This capital request was followed up with a presentation at the School Committee's November 7, 2017 meeting to better articulate the entry findings and the rationale behind the 5 -year plan. With this significant investment in capital assets, comes a need to evaluate the current staffing demands this will have on the District. The Technology Department's staffing levels since FY2017 have been reduced by about 14% (3.5 FTE). The FY2019 budget includes the elimination of a Technology Maintenance Associate position and replacement of it with a 12 -month Field Tech position to better serve the District. Further, the FY2019 budget includes a re-title/classification of its Executive Assistant position to a Technology Coordinator position designed to help move day-to-day work forward with the Field Tech positions throughout the District. It is anticipated, that additional staffing requests will be made in the FY2020 budget to address the 60% expansion (4,500 additional devices) in devices between FY2018 and FY2020. As the work of the Director of Digital Learning continues, presentations will be made to the School Committee on future needs. Program Reviews & Enhancements: Currently, the School Department is undergoing program reviews in the area of Science and PE/Wellness.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 III - 16 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Strategic Planning/ Diversity Training/Mental Health: The FY2019 budget includes $60,000 ($45,000 directly in the School budget and $15,000 in a shared appropriation under a joint article with the Town at the Annual Town Meeting) to address the areas of strategic planning, diversity training, and mental health initiatives. During FY2019, the District will undergo a process to develop a multi-year strategic plan that will guide the work of upcoming fiscal years. School Administration will undergo professional learning (i.e. ADL) opportunities on the topic of diversity, a collaborative effort with the Town (Town is funding $15,000 and School is funding $15,000 under a joint article at Annual Town Meeting). Further, the school administration will utilize efforts in the Human Resources office to continue the work of hiring a more diverse work force, more representative of its student body. LHS Visioning: The FY2019 budget continues to support the LHS Visioning and capital development process. This year we are examining our current educational model and practices, through various visioning activities that are geared to articulate the LHS/LPS vision for education. A key piece of this process is the NEASC decennial accreditation process, which includes a self reflection of how our program is doing with regard to the Standards for Accreditation. One piece of this reflective process is a two-day visit to the school by NEASC representatives in October, 2018. The estimated cost of this site visit is $1,750. This process will allow us to identify program strengths and set goals in areas in need of improvement, which meshes very well with the Visioning process that will better inform the SOI to the MSBA. Project Based Learning: The FY2019 budget will continue to support the initiatives underway in the area of project -based learning. The District has hosted professional learning opportunities to grow interest organically throughout the District. This work will continue as concepts of project based learning are explored. These opportunities will continue to be funded through the office of Curriculum and Instruction. Administrator Induction Program: The FY2019 School Department budget continues funding for stipends to compensate mentors as part of the Administrator Induction Program implemented during the 2018 budget year. Additionally, the budget and administration will continue to support meeting structures to promote onboarding of new administrators with both formal and informal training opportunities utilizing internal school staff. Per Pupil Expenditure and Consumer Price Index (CPI) Adjustments: The FY2019 budget includes funds to adjust expense budgets utilizing the October 1, 2017 enrollment report. The FY2019 budget includes no adjustments to address CPI (inflation measure). The August 2017 annual increase published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics included an increase of 1.7%. As a result of adjusting expense budgets based on enrollment changes, where appropriate, this recommended increase totals $89,713. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 III - 17 Program: Education 1100 Lexington Public Schools Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Capital Projects: School Department Capital The FY2019 budget includes a total of $1,715,300 in recommended Capital projects through the Town Capital Improvement Plan. The School Department is only submitting a Technology Capital request through the FY2019-23 Capital Improvement Plan this year. Beginning in FY2019, the School Department will begin carrying furniture replacement through its operating budget. In FY2019, $100,000 is being included in the School Department's operating budget to address these furniture replacement needs. The School Department has assembled a full five-year capital plan to address both infrastructure and device needs for the District as it looks to expand its one-to-one initiative. Public Facilities Capital In the spring of 2017, 2 modulars were added to the Bowman, Bridge, and Fiske elementary schools (a total of 6 modulars). The Clarke and Diamond Middle Schools underwent significant capital projects, re -opening in the fall of 2017 for the school year. This provided additional capacity and space to address overcrowding in these buildings. The Town, on December 5, 2017, was approved by the voters for a debt exclusion to continue work on the Hastings Elementary School project and the Lexington Children's Place project. The Town is expected to receive MSBA reimbursement for the Hastings Elementary School. The Lexington Children's Place project will provide this program with its own location, freeing up space at Central Office and in the Harrington Elementary School. Discussions continue to address the continued growth at the aging Lexington High School facility. During FY2018, the School Department is undergoing a visioning process as part of the first step in articulating what a new LHS may look like in the future. It is anticipated that the School Department seek MSBA support with an SOI submitted in 2019. FY2O2O Budget Considerations & Planning: The FY2019 budget includes funding to address a number of initiatives, however there are additional items that are either still under evaluation or expected to be discussed further in the FY2020 budget. Some of these items include: • Athletic fee structures • Yellow School bus transportation fee structures • School Start Times • Secondary level schedule changes • LHS graduation requirements • Tiered DLP Program — Harrington & Diamond • Expanded LCP DLP Program — LCP • Additional support for expanding transition program/services at LHS • Additional support for enhanced Counseling Department model at LHS • Technology Department staffing levels — expanded device counts • Elementary Health Education • Elementary World Language • Elementary Thursday afternoons • Expand funding for annual furniture replacement • Funding viability for the Essential School Health grant • Funding viability for the Special Education Program Improvement grant Budget Documents are available at htt ://IDS.lexinatonma.or /Page/10 61.

Budget Overview: For the solar arrays installed at the Hartwell Avenue Compost Facility, Eversource elected to reimburse the Town for the electricity generated via monthly payments, rather than issue a credit to the Town's electric bills. For the rooftop solar panels on Town and School buildings, that energy is credited again the monthly bill, thereby reducing utility costs at the Public Facilities Department. As a means of separately tracking the new arrangement, this budget division has been created to reflect: Net Metering Credits: The revenues received from Eversource in return for electricity generate 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 FY2019 overall recommendation for Solar Producer Payments is $410,000, which represents no increase over the FY2018 appropriation, as approved by the Fall Special Town Meeting.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 IV -10 This Page Left Blank Intentionally Program: Shared Expenses 2400 Debt Service Town of Lexington, Massachusetts 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 2018 Annual Town Meeting. Also included in these figures are debt issuance costs and interest on abatements. Debt service on projects funded from the Compost Revolving Fund is shown in element 3420; debt service for water and sewer enterprise projects is shown in elements 3610 and 3710. Debt Service voted to be exempt from Proposition 21/2, while not appropriated by Town Meeting, is shown for informational purposes. Authorized/Appropriated Staffing: There is no direct staff charged to this line -item. Staff support is provided through the Town Manager and Finance departments. Budget Recommendations: Combined gross FY2019 debt service — inclusive of Within -Levy and Exempt debt service — is increasing by $4,174,467, or 20.61%. Within -Levy debt service is increasing by $1,218,629, or 12.75%. The original FY2018 appropriation as adopted at the 2017 Annual Town Meeting was $7,205,628. A supplemental appropriation of $2,351,487 was approved at 2017 Special Town Meeting #3 to begin to pay off the $12.4 million in land purchases for 20 Pelham Rd. and 173 Bedford St., bringing the total appropriation to $9,557,115. The FY2019 within -levy debt service (before any use of the Capital Stabilization Fund) is recommended at $10,775,744, which is inclusive of: • $3,050,000 allocated to retire a portion of the bond anticipation notes issued for the land purchases of Pelham Rd. and Bedford St. • Debt service for the design and construction costs for the Westview Cemetery Building, which is intended to be funded by higher cemetery fees approved in 2017, which are deposited into the Cemetery Sale of Lots Fund, and from which an amount sufficient to fund the FY2019 debt service is displayed as a funding source; FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Recommended Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2018 IV -11 Program: Shared Expenses 2400 Debt Service Town of Lexington, Massachusetts • Debt service to reconstruct Harbell St., which will be repaid by the abutters through a street acceptance betterment; and • Debt service (interest payment only) for the Police Station design, which is a potential candidate for a debt exclusion vote. The debt service for the Town's base capital program is $7,593,737, an increase of $399,229 or 5.55% from FY2018. The Town's target increase for within -levy debt service is 5% per year; therefore, $380,000 is recommended to be transferred from the Capital Stabilization fund to mitigate the FY2019 debt service. After mitigation, the budget increases by $343,729, or 5.0%. FY2018 gross exempt debt service is $10,692,689, which was mitigated via a $2,400,000 transfer from the Capital Stabilization Fund. FY2019 gross exempt debt service is $13,648,527. If no mitigation is applied, this yields an increase of $2,955,838, or 27.64% compared to FY2018. The increase in debt service is driven primarily by the debt service for excluded projects approved by the voters in May 2016, including the Clarke and Diamond renovations and the installation of 6 elementary modular classrooms, as well as projected debt service for excluded projects approved in December 2017 — the Fire Station Replacement, Hastings Elementary School Replacement and the new Lexington Children's Place (LCP) building. To mitigate the impact of this increase on Lexington taxpayers, it is proposed that $3.6 million of Capital Stabilization Funds be appropriated to offset exempt debt service. This is consistent with the plan updated and presented to the Selectmen in November 2017. The FY2019 proposed capital projects are described in greater detail in Section XI: Capital Investment in this book.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan IV -18 January 22, 2018 Program: Shared Expenses 2600 Public Facilities Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Budget Recommendations: The FY2019 recommended All Funds Department of Public Facilities budget inclusive of the General Fund operating budget, the Building Rental Revolving Fund and the PEG Revolving Fund — which funds staff that provide technical support to governmental programming — is $11,269,232. The recommended budget is a $130,961, or 1.18% increase from the FY2018 budget. The Department of Public Facilities FY2019 recommended General Fund operating budget — inclusive of the Education Facilities, Municipal Facilities and Shared Facilities divisions — is $10,716,027, which is a $123,042, or 1.16% increase from the FY2018 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $5,455,585, and reflects a $103,491 or 1.93% increase, which provides sufficient funding for anticipated individual, SEIU and AFSCME contract increases that currently extend through .lune 30, 2018. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $5,260,442 and reflects a $19,551, or 0.37% increase, primarily as a result of funding a Program Improvement Request for $25,000 to contract with an Owner's Agent to identify opportunities to incorporate solar on additional buildings. Overall Utility costs are decreasing by $94,234 or 3.00/0, which includes a reduction of $67,205 or 8.69% in natural gas, and a decrease of $38,729 or 1.76% in electricity. Both rates are based on assumptions of possible utility supply contracts. Electric costs reflect an offset of $126,550 from rooftop solar production. The FY2019 Facilities Department recommended PEG Revolving Fund request is $22,365, which reflects a $157 or 0.71% increase from the FY2018 budget. The Board of Selectmen's budget includes additional spending associated with the PEG Revolving Fund.

The FY2018 budget has been restated to reflect a $142,000 supplemental appropriation approved at 2017-3 Special Town Meeting to replace bins for materials at the Compost Facility, funded by the solar contractor. There is no Compensation in the Refuse Collection, Recycling and Refuse Disposal General Fund operating budget as all staff are funded within the Compost Operations Revolving Fund budget.

The Refuse Collection expense budget is recommended at $964,443, an increase of $117,643 or 13.89%, and the Recycling expense budget is recommended at $1,054,858 an increase of $120,126 or 12.85%, both of which reflect increases in the Town's contracts for refuse and recycling collections which will begin a new 5 -year contract on July 1, 2018.

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, 1,500 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 FY2018, the Water Enterprise Fund began contributing 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. Develop educational materials for water conservation. 3. Implement a backflow/cross connection program. 4. Reduce the amount of Pit Meters in Town and change out the manual reads on the ones that cannot be eliminated. 5. Continue to update all the water connection "paper tie cards" for GIS implementation. 6. Continue the reaccreditation process with the American Public Works Association.

The recommended budget is a $837,665 or 7.81% increase over the FY2018 budget. The budget for Compensation is $771,886, and reflects a $70,758 or 10.09% increase, which is primarily due to the transfer of the Utility Billing Manager from Finance to Water/Sewer Operations, as well as increases for the cost of step increases and cost of living adjustments. The budget for Expenses is $494,025 which is an increase of $67,000, or 15.69% over FY2018, and is primarily due to an increase of $25,000 in contractual services to provide sufficient funds to restore roadways that are significantly damaged from major water breaks that require the damaged portion of the road to be removed and then resurfaced, as well as an increase of $25,000 for meter replacements in recognition of the growing demand. Other expense budget adjustments are in response to actual experience. Debt service is recommended to decrease by $6,359 or 0.43%. The anticipated MWRA Assessment is $7,971,184, which is a $724,653 or 10% increase from FY2018. The MWRA will issue a preliminary assessment in February, followed by a final assessment in .lune. In FY2019, 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 $854,071, a decrease of $18,387 or 2.11%. The decrease is primarily due to the transfer of the Utility Billing Manager from Finance, where the salary was included in Indirect costs from that department.

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 9,524 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 FY2018, the Sewer Enterprise Fund began contributing 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 the pipe flushing program and root removal in all areas. 2. Continue to educate the public as to the costs and problems created by Inflow & Infiltration. 3. Continue the reaccreditation process through the American Public Works Association.

The FY2018 budget is restated to reflect cost of living increases that were negotiated subsequent to the adoption of the FY2018 budget at the 2017 annual town meeting, as well as a supplemental budget approved at Special Town Meeting 2017-3 for $28,000 to partially pay for repaving the parking lot at Church of Our Redeemer. A second $28,000 payment for FY2019 is included in the budget. The budget for Compensation is $6,320,811 and reflects a decrease of $26,238 or 0.41%, which reflects staff turnover with replacements at a lower salary level. FY2019 Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases not covered by current contracts. Funds for prospective increases are provided in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The budget for Expenses is $925,755 and reflects an increase of $25,228 or 2.80%, which is a net change due to transferring software maintenance costs for the new dispatch system to Information Technology, and removing a one-time contribution for a NEMLEC vehicle, offset by funding a program improvement to further support training programs provided by the Domestic Violence Service Network, anticipated increases in gasoline costs, and additional costs for overseeing the parking program.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan VII -8 January 22, 2018 Program: Culture & Recreation 5200 Recreation & Community Programs Town of Lexington, MA Budget Recommendations: The FY2019 recommended budget for the Department of Recreation and Community Programs — comprised of the Pine Meadows Golf Course operation, and Recreation and Community Center programming — is $3,112,319. The recommended budget is a $132,379 or 4.44% increase over the FY2018 budget, and reflects increases to Personal Services and Expenses, offset by a reduction in Debt Service with the final debt payment for Lincoln Field planned for February 2018. It should be noted that historically the Recreation and Community Programs Department operating budget has been supported solely from program fees. In FY2016, with the addition of the operation and programming of the Community Center, it was proposed that the tax levy contribute to funding for the Department budget. This tax levy support will continue in FY2019, with $214,292 being proposed in General Fund support of the Community Center operations. The Community Center budget supports staff that plans, schedules, coordinates, manages, supervises and delivers community programs along with the supplies needed to operate these programs. The Community Center provides drop-in program space and offers leisure opportunities to promote social, emotional, 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 customer service counter at the Center supports the Community Center, the Human Services Department and the Recreation Division, allowing for one-stop shopping for services and programs. The recommended budget for Compensation is $1,416,168, and reflects a $107,499 or 8.21% increase which reflects prospective step increases, prospective cost -of -living adjustments, and an increase in hourly rates for Seasonal staff. In addition, a seasonal part- time summer clerk will be converted to an annual part-time position to provide support throughout the year, and a part-time Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist will be hired to evaluate current offerings and create additional opportunities for the special needs population. The recommended budget for Expenses is $1,434,325 and reflects a $117,880 or 8.95% increase from FY2018, primarily due to expanded Recreation program offerings taught by contract staff, the transition to a full-color seasonal brochure, and increased electric costs due to the new lights at Lincoln Field. The recommended budget for Expenses for the operation of the Pine Meadows Golf Course of $561,470 reflects a net increase of $15,950 or 2.92%. The current course management contract will expire at the end of calendar year 2018, and will be rebid in the Fall. There is an increase of $7,000, or 2.75% in indirect payments to the General Fund to support those costs incurred in the General Fund that support the Recreation Enterprise Fund.

The department seeks to identify the unmet needs of our community by providing outreach and prevention services that promote physical, mental health and wellbeing for families, seniors, veterans and youth. Budget Overview: The Human Services Department is organized to provide service delivery to residents of all ages. Assistant Directors, Managers and Coordinators oversee the following divisions: Administration and Community Programs, Senior Services, Youth and Family Services, Veterans' Services, and Transportation Services. In 2015, all Human Services divisions moved to the Lexington Community Center. Attendance, walk in visits, phone calls and requests for information have increased greatly since the move to the Community Center. Staff from Senior Services and Youth and Family Services provide senior, youth and intergenerational programming, assessments, information and referrals, counseling, financial assistance, consultation, support and coordination of services. Veterans' services staff work with colleagues to plan Town celebrations and special events, and provide veterans in Lexington and Bedford with information, benefits and support. The Transportation Services division started a new Lexpress bus service contract in July 2017. Departmental Initiatives: 1. Participate in mental health review in collaboration with Town and School staff and the Human Services Committee. 2. Improve overall department functioning and communication through the implementation of laser fiche, standardization of forms and updates to the Human Services database. 3. Form a crisis intervention and prevention team with Police, Fire, Health, Schools, Library, Recreation and community stakeholders to align response and communication protocols and develop education and support for Lexington residents of all ages around risk and mental health. 4. Collaborate with UMass/Boston on the Age Friendly Community process. 5. Collaborate with Recreation and Community Programs staff to continue best practices in programming and shared customer services and develop a robust volunteer program at the Community Center.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan VIII -4 January 22, 2018 Program: Human Services 6100-6200 Human Services Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Budget Recommendations: The requested FY2019 All Funds Human Services budget is $1,717,322 which is a $189,046, or 12.37%, increase over the restated FY2018 budget. The FY2018 budget is restated to reflect cost of living increases that were negotiated subsequent to the adoption of the FY2018 budget at the 2017 annual town meeting. The All Funds budget includes funding from a Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EDEA) grant, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Suburban Transportation grant, and the Senior Services Revolving Fund (formerly known as the Council on Aging Programs Revolving Fund). In addition, the Town of Bedford funds a portion of the Veterans' Services budget through a Veterans' District agreement. Beginning in FY2019, the Town of Bedford will be reimbursing Lexington for additional VSO services as a result of the additional staff time the District Director is devoting to Veterans services at the new Bedford Green housing complex on the grounds of the VA Hospital in Bedford. The Human Services FY2019 recommended General Fund operating budget request is $1,465,284 and reflects a $162,313 or 12.46% increase over the restated FY2018 budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $669,089, and reflects a $119,925 or 21.84% increase, which is due to program improvements to add a staff person to provide additional community support at Youth and Family Services, and to increase the hours of the Senior Services Nurse to allow her to do more outreach. Compensation also reflects the cost of contractually obligated step increases and cost of living adjustments. FY2019 Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases for contracts expiring on or before .lune 30, 2018. Funds for prospective increases are provided in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $796,195 and reflects a $42,388 or 5.62% increase, which incorporates program improvements to engage with UMass Boston to conduct an Age Friendly Lexington assessment and expand use of credit cards for Lexpress bus passes, as well as contractual increases for the Lexpress bus service contract.

The recommended budget is a $108,824 or 2.18% increase over the restated FY2018 budget. The FY2018 budget is restated to reflect a supplemental appropriation approved at the 2017-3 Special Town Meeting, and to reflect cost of living increases that were negotiated subsequent to the adoption of the FY2018 budget at the 2017 annual town meeting. The FY2019 recommended Land Use, Health and Development General Fund operating budget is $2,391,481 which is a $21,112, or 0.89% increase from the restated FY2018 General Fund budget. The General Fund operating budget for Compensation is $1,994,038 and reflects a $119,407 or 6.37% increase, which is attributable to the cost of contractually obligated cost of living and step increases, a program improvement for additional administrative support, and funding for additional summer interns for the Conservation and Economic Development Offices. FY2019 Compensation does not include any estimate of prospective cost of living increases not covered by current contracts. Funds for prospective increases are provided in the Salary Adjustment account within the Town Manager's budget. The General Fund operating budget for Expenses is $443,598 and reflects a net decrease of $52,140 or 10.52%, which reflects funding to design a gateway sign at Hartwell Avenue, and is offset by removing one-time FY2018 costs throughout the budget. The FY2019 recommended budget for the Health Program, Liberty Ride, and Visitor Center revolving funds is $541,349, an increase of $41,457 or 8.31%, driven primarily by increased costs for vaccination clinics funded from the Health Program Revolving Fund.

A strong local business sector is a critical component of a healthy and sustainable community creating places to eat and shop, as well as opportunities for employment and added revenue to support local services. To that end, the Economic Development Office serves as a liaison for businesses and works to address business-related issues from parking to updating land use policy. The Office also works to retain and expand local businesses by providing information, conducting research, and leveraging State economic development tools and resources designed to improve the business environment. The Economic Development Office also cultivates and maintains relationships with State -level partners for business development and infrastructure investment opportunities. In addition, the Economic Development Office works to leverage economic opportunities from tourism. The three programs — the Liberty Ride, the Battle Green Guides and the regional marketing program — are aimed at enhancing Lexington's visitor -based economy. Budget Overview: the Economic Development budget is divided into three elements: the Economic Development Office, the Liberty Ride and the Visitors Center. The Economic Development Office is tasked with strengthening the commercial tax base, providing services to existing and prospective businesses, and overseeing tourism functions, including the Battle Green Guides. The Office is supported by the Economic Development Advisory Committee and the Economic Development Director serves as liaison to the Lexington Center Committee and the Tourism Committee. The Liberty Ride trolley tour of Lexington and Concord serves as the only public transportation link to the area's historic sites. Ridership continues to increase, and in 2018 the Liberty Ride will celebrate its 16th season. As a revolving fund, the Liberty Ride is funded through ticket sales. The Visitors Center serves as gateway for over 115,000 people who come to visit Lexington every year. The Visitors Center operates with sales revenue generated from the gift shop.

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 Laws permit 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 FY2019 Capital Budget was developed within the capital policy framework initially adopted by the Board of Selectmen 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. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -1 The following are potential funding sources for financing the Town's capital investments: • 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 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 21/2 debt exclusion), Enterprise and Revolving Funds or the Community Preservation Fund (see discussion of the CPA below). • Other Sources — The Town uses dedicated state aid and grant funding 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.

FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -6 Municipal Proiects 1. Equipment Replacement —($1,069,500) ($1,039,500 General Fund Debt & $30,000 Water Retained Earnings): This is an annual request to replace equipment that is beyond its useful life and whose mechanical condition no longer meets the requirements of the Department of Public Works (DPW). 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. The FY2019 request, by funding source, is shown in the table below. Each piece of equipment is inventoried with original and current replacement cost, state of condition and replacement time interval. Replacement intervals vary from five to 25 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 updates are conducted by the Road Machinery Division, Division Superintendents and reviewed by the Manager of Operations and Director of Public Works.

Sidewalk Improvement — $800,000 (General Fund Debt): This request seeks funds to rebuild and/or repair existing sidewalks that are in poor condition. DPW (in conjunction with various committees and town departments) generates a list each year of sidewalks most in need of repair/replacement, based on four determining factors: 1) Is the sidewalk unsafe for travel due to trip hazards, defects, etc. 2) Is the sidewalk within the Safe Routes to School Program 3) Is the volume of pedestrian traffic heavy, light or average 4) Is the general condition of the sidewalk poor, fair or good which dictates treatments such as full reconstruction, overlay or patching DPW successfully completed a sidewalk condition survey in early 2015 with the help of an engineering firm, Fay, Spofford & Thorndike and is currently working from the priority list that was compiled by the report. Sidewalks considered for FY2019 funding include: Winchester Drive from Lowell Street to the Town Line, FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -7 • Massachusetts Ave. from Fottler Ave. to Ellen Dana -North Side, • Oak Street from Massachusetts Ave. to Baker Ave., • reconstruction of ramps town -wide, • Hibbert Street from Massachusetts Ave. to end, • Carriage Drive from Grove Street to John Benson Road, • John Benson Road from Skyview Road to Carriage Drive, • Coach Road from Carriage Drive to Volunteer Way, • Grove Street from Carriage Drive to Volunteer Way, • Grove Street from Carriage Drive to McKeever Drive, • Birch Hill Lane from Lincoln to end, and • Gould Road from Grove Street to Turning Mill Road. The following table present the resent history of Sidewalk appropriations: FY12 FY13 FY141 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 $ 200,000 $ 300,000 $ 400,000 $ 400,000 $ 600,000 $ 600,000 $ 800,000 ' Does not include $200,000 of a $600,000 appropriation that was designated for the construction of a Hartwell Avenue mixed use path. 3. Townwide Signalization Improvements — $1,100,000 (General Fund Debt): This is an annual request that seeks funds to update traffic and pedestrian signals in Lexington. A signal inventory and compliance study has been completed which includes ADA compliance, condition assessment, signal timing, delays and priority recommendations. FY2018 funds were used to implement issues identified by the Transportation Safety Group (TSG). The design at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave. at Worthen Road has progressed to 25% design and is currently moving toward 100% design. This FY2019 appropriation is anticipated to be used for the construction of those intersection improvements, including geometric improvements, full replacement of the traffic control equipment, signals, mast arms and opticom. The ongoing improvements will improve vehicle safety, prevent equipment failure, improve traffic flow, decrease energy consumption and allow for proper accessibility. 4. Center Track and Field Reconstruction — $3,340,000 ($2,829,000 CPA Debt & $511,000 General Fund Debt): The Center Track area is one of the most heavily used facilities in Town. The existing track base is over 30 years old and the track surface was last re -surfaced in 2012, adding an additional 5-6 years to the life of the track. The track currently presents tripping hazards and is unsafe to host organized programming. This FY2019 request will completely reconstruct the track and provide for a complete renovation to the athletic field. Funding will also provide for the installation of a new lighting system and the replacement of existing bleachers and fencing. A natural grass/synthetic turf hybrid field is proposed for the new athletic field and will provide more stability while looking, feeling and playing like a natural grass field. The reconstruction will allow for allow for continued use for a wide range of users and provide a safer and more comfortable track surface. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan XI -8 January 22, 2017 5. Pelham Road Sidewalk and Roadway Improvements — $1,400,000 (General Fund Debt): This project proposes to install a new sidewalk and replace the existing short section of sidewalk on Pelham Road from Massachusetts Ave. to the Town -owned facility at 20 Pelham Road. FY2019 funding will also be used to improve the sight distance at the intersection of Pelham Road and Massachusetts Ave. The proposed work includes ancillary improvements at these locations that include drainage installation and upgrades, road reconstruction curbing, pavement markings, etc. The design funding is in place from a previous Town Meeting appropriation to design the project and prepare bid documents. The sidewalk portion of the project is estimated to cost $1,000,000 and the intersection improvements are estimated to cost approximately $400,000. Funding will provide for improved access and walkability along Pelham Road, specifically to the Town -owned facility. Facilities Proiects A. Within Levy Projects 1. Public Facilities Mechanical/ Electrical System Replacements — $544,500 ($19,755 Free Cash & $524,745 General Fund Debt): This request is part of an annual replacement of HVAC and electrical systems that have exceeded their useful lives and require replacement before excessive failures occur. The FY2019 appropriation will be used to replace the HVAC systems that provide cooling and heating to the Selectmen's Meeting Room and the Main Server Room in the Town Office Building. The mechanical systems have exceeded their life cycles and require replacement in order to prevent unplanned interruptions. If failures occur, it would severely impact the Town Office Building's ability to conduct public meetings during the height of cooling season. B. Projects That Are Potential Candidates for Debt Exclusions The following projects are candidates for consideration for funding outside the limits of Proposition 21/2 subject to successful debt exclusion votes. Nonetheless, they are included in Table 1 in the event that such debt exclusion votes are not successful in which case the debt service for these projects will need to funded with the levy limit. 2. Lexington Police Station Rebuild- Design — $1,862,622 (General Fund Debt): FY2019 funds will provide design and engineering costs for the Police Station rebuild at its current location. The existing police station opened in 1956 and lacks many basic amenities of a modern police facility. The building does not have an elevator or a sally port for prisoner access to the cell block. It also lacks a fire sprinkler system. The indoor firing range, locker rooms, garage and office spaces are inadequate. Bathrooms on the basement and second floor levels are not ADA compliant. The heating and cooling systems are inefficient and the building is served by two separate electrical systems which cause problems during outages. A subsequent request for construction funds is anticipated in FY2020. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -9 School Proiects 1. LPS Technology Capital Request — $1,715,300 (General Fund Debt): This request addresses the District's strategic goal for enhancing the capacity to utilize technology as an instructional and administrative tool. The request will increase student access to devices to allow for innovative learning methods that integrate supportive technologies, problem -based approaches and higher order thinking skills. This capital improvement project for FY2019 would provide funding for the following: Tech Workstations - $252,000 is requested for the replacement of mobile devices (iPads and Chromebooks) for teachers, students and staff. Laptops for existing teachers will be replaced and laptops for new staff will be purchased. 1:1 Middle School Program - $204,600 will be used to fund the replacement of Pads with Chromebooks for one grade level. Elementary Mobile Devices - $177,600 will be used to purchase additional carts of Chromebooks for Bowman, Bridge, Estabrook, Hastings and Harrington Elementary Schools. It will also fund the purchase of a Chromebook cart for the media center at the Fiske Elementary School and additional district computer carts. 1:1 at LHS- $412,500 - Funds will be used to begin implementation of a 1:1 device program at LHS for two grade levels. STEM/ComouterScience - $27,600 — Kibo robotic kits will be purchased for all elementary schools and Sphero robot kits will be purchased for middle schools. Upgrade District and Building Network Infrastructure— Infrastructure will be upgraded to support 1:1 program and handle increase in devices at K-8 level. Replace Switches and Wireless Access Points— Switches and wireless access points that have reached the end of their useful lives will be replaced at Harrington, Clarke and Diamond. Add Additional Switches at Clarke and Diamond - $350,000 — Additional switches will be replaced to handle an increased wireless load. Funds will also be used to implement a wireless project at the Central Office to bring enterprise level wireless access. Equipment will also be purchased to prepare for bandwidth increase from 1GB to a minimum of 5GB for increased device counts. Interactive Projector/Whiteboard Units - $85,000 is requested to connect the existing data cabinets to the existing circuits currently located on the emergency generators in order to prevent the loss of phone access when power is out. Server/Storage Infrastructure - $75,000 — Upgrade current virtual environment to keep up with the needs of the district and online testing. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -10 Proiects to be Funded with Fee -Based Revenue 1. Westview Cemetery Building- Construction— $3,040,000 (General Fund Debt with debt service funded from Sale of Cemetery Lots Special Revenue Fund): FY2019 funds are requested to construct a new building on the Westview Cemetery grounds. The current building serves as the cemetery office, meeting area for grieving families and work space for maintenance staff. An FY2016 appropriation funded an assessment of the current building and operations and an FY2018 appropriation was used to hire an architect to design and engineer the building on the Westview Cemetery grounds The Department of Public Works and the Architect have been working closely with the Department of Public Facilities to determine the best long-term solution for the building. This funding request has been based on the FY2018 design and engineering funds. The only significant upgrade to the building in the last 15 years has been the installation of a new roof. The current facility has deteriorated and needs to be brought up to code. Limited space does not permit private space for grieving families and the maintenance area lacks adequate space for all equipment to be stored indoors. The renovation or expansion of the building will enhance the cemetery operation by providing a welcoming and private space for families and visitors and provide staff with more efficient and adequate office space, storage space and maintenance space. It is expected that a full set of design specifications and documents will be completed in the near future at which time the construction phase of the project can go out to bid.

Automatic Meter Reading System — $750,000 ($375,000 Water Debt and $375,000 Wastewater Debt): An FY2018 appropriation provided funding to contract with a firm to evaluate the existing meter equipment for compatibility with an Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. The goal of the program is to install a Town -wide radio read system that will provide the ability to read meters remotely. The AMR system is comprised of an endpoint of meter transmitters, optional repeaters and the base station receiver. The implementation of the program is proposed in three phases. The FY2019 appropriation will fund transmitters in water section one and the installation of base stations. This will provide the Town with more frequent meter readings to improve the billing Drocess. Future vear reauests will Drovide the same in sections two and three. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -11 2. Water Distribution System Improvements - $1,000,000 (Water Debt): 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. Water main replacement has been completed on Massachusetts Ave. (from Pleasant Street to Marrett Road) and at the Woburn Street intersection. The installation of a pressure sustaining valve in the Grove Street area is also complete, allowing for proper pressures in the area. To -date, both a hydraulic model for the entire distribution network and an asset management plan are near completion. The model will help evaluate the Town's water break history and its relation to pipe type and age. Combined with the replacement of the remaining unlined water mains, the model will help create a long- term capital plan and ensure a proactive approach for keeping Lexington's water both safe and reliable FY2019 RECOMMENDED PROJECTS - WASTEWATER FUND DEBT (Table III) 7f�fuPf exrrC won-ry a71t.4t ws vet FY2019 Recommended Budget: Capital Projects ,tSY[YYp%�f& TABLE III: FY2019 RECOMMENDED PROJECTS - WASTEWATER DEBT Amount Interest Project Financed Term.

Pump Station Upgrades - $800,000 (Wastewater Debt): This is an ongoing program to upgrade Lexington's ten sewer pumping stations. A 2013 evaluation and capital plan was developed for the Town with the assistance of Wright -Pierce, including a detailed engineering survey of the pump stations. The survey helped determine current and future needs, timetable and probable costs for the proposed work. The Worthen Road pump station has been bid and is currently under construction. Both the Marshall Road and Constitution Road pump stations are in the design phases and construction is expected to commence in 2018. FY2019 funds are expected to be utilized for the Marshall Road Pump Station. It is anticipated that the Hayden Ave. pump station will be the next to go to design. (Stations are constantly monitored and schedules adjusted to meet more urgent needs). The goal of this program is to upgrade all the pumps and support systems to enable better energy efficiency and avoid emergency expenditures. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -12 3. Sanitary Sewer System Investigation and Improvements — $1,000,000 (Wastewater Debt): This is an annual program that provides for rehabilitation of sanitary sewer infrastructure. 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. A significant lining project is under construction in the Dunback Meadow area and the Bow Street area, expected to be completed this winter. Future rehabilitation is anticipated in sewer basins 2, 11 and 12 and investigations in basins 6, 7 and 10 will be performed next. 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.

Department of Public Facilities Proiects 1. Public Facilities Bid Documents — $100,000 (Free Cash): This is an annual request for funding of professional services to produce design development, construction documents and/or bid administration services for smaller school projects in anticipation of requests for construction funding at town meeting that have a high probability of approval. This will ensure that the projects can be completed in the then - current construction season, which is particularly important for the timely completion of such projects given the short window between the end of school in June and the beginning of school the following August. 2. Building Flooring Program — $125,000 (Free Cash): Initiated in FY11, this is an annual request for funds to be used for the replacement of flooring systems in municipal and school buildings. The FY2019 request will be used for continuing replacements in the Cary Memorial Library's reading rooms. The goal of this program is to ensure floor surfaces remain clean and safe for all users. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan XI -16 January 22, 2017 3. Public Service Building Vehicle Storage Area — Floor Drainage System — $157,000 (Free Cash): Exposure to salt, grime and residual from petroleum products has caused deterioration of concrete around the floor drain system in the vehicle staging prep area in the Public Services Building. This FY2019 request includes the analysis, design and repair of the floor drain system. Once design is complete, the work will include the removal of the drain grates, selective demolition of the adjacent concrete, installation of new frames and gate, new concrete and sealing of the floor. The failed drainage grate system has become a hazard and could cause harm to employees walking and driving in and around the drain system. These repairs will help isolate the damage and preserve the remainder of the floor. 4. Municipal Building Envelope and Systems — $198,893 (Tax Levy): This ongoing capital request, originally approved for funding in the 2006 Proposition 21/2 Override, includes repair/replacement projects for the maintenance and upgrade of municipal buildings and systems. The FY2019 request seeks $198,893 of funding for continued implementation of extraordinary repairs to the foundation and original drainage system of the Town Office Building. The Town Office Building experiences ongoing water infiltration issues in the basement level due to holes, voids and failed seals through the existing foundation walls. Conditions are further exacerbated by oversaturated soil from storm water run-off due to roof and site grading conditions. This project would secure the health of occupants who utilize the basement area and repair ongoing foundation deterioration. 5. Visitors Center — Construction/ Bid Documents— $200,000 (Free Cash): $21,000 was appropriated by the 2017 Annual Town Meeting to enable the Visitors Center replacement project to proceed through development of a schematic design estimate. The schematic design estimate provided an estimated project cost of $4,549,000. An additional appropriation of $150,000 was appropriated by the 2017-3 Special Town Meeting to continue the design through design development. During design development, a value engineering process will explore opportunities to reduce the project cost and find alternate funding sources. $200,000 requested for FY2019 to prepare construction/bid documents. On an annual basis, the Visitors Center sees more foot traffic than any other Town -owned building. The existing facility opened in 1970 and the last upgrade was performed ten years ago when the restrooms were made handicap accessible. A new Visitors Center aims to improve the experience of visitors and maximize economic development opportunities. 6. School Building Envelope and Systems Program — $227,755 (Free Cash): FY2019 funds will be used to perform annual prioritized extraordinary repairs and modifications to school buildings and systems. Specifically, this request will be used to address water infiltration issues, caulking, window lintels and translucent skylights that are delaminating over the front facade of the main entrance of the Harrington Elementary School. 7. School Paving Program — $236,890 (Free Cash): This capital request provides'as needed' replacement of sidewalks, bus loops and parking areas on school grounds. The FY2019 request will specifically fund spot replacement at the Harrington Elementary School where walking conditions have caused safety issues for pedestrians walking to the school. Extraordinary repairs for school paving areas are necessary to maintain FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -17 parking and pedestrian surfaces in a condition suitable for public safety and Safe Routes to School. S. Playground Replacement Program- Bowman — $302,000 (CPA): This FY2019 request will fund the update and replacement of playground equipment and surfacing behind the Bowman Elementary School and playfields. Proposed improvements will renovate and rehabilitate existing safety surfacing and equipment so that the site will be in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). A subsequent FY2020 request is anticipated for updates and replacement of the play structure at the Bridge Elementary School. 9. Lexington High School (LHS) Security Upgrade — $338,600 (Free Cash): In the spring of 2017, the School Department contracted with TBA Architects and Jensen - Hughes to complete a holistic Security Assessment of Lexington High School (LHS). The assessment was based on developing concentric layers of security for deterrence and prevention. Previous Town Meetings have appropriated funds for a security study and upgrades. An expansion of the closed circuit television was recently completed but LHS still does not meet the district standard for security. The 2017-3 Special Town Meeting appropriated $31,000 for the design and engineering for security enhancements, specifically building perimeter security, based on recommendations of the security assessment. The designers are tasked with enhancing school security while maintaining the existing open -campus culture. This FY2019 request will fund the implementation and construction of those recommendations. The primary focus will be bringing the building perimeter and exterior doors up to the district standard. At present, the vast majority of the exterior doors at LHS are unequipped with electronic door access controls. This means that staff must manually lock exterior doors in the event of a building lock -down. The addition of electronic door access will enable exterior doors to lock instantaneously, if needed. The added infrastructure would allow for procedures to be put in place to set schedules for locking and unlocking doors, providing a more secure campus and eliminating the need to manually lock doors. The proposed project would also incorporate the addition of signage and wayfinding around campus and consider changes to parking lot access during school hours. 10.Public Facilities Mechanical/ Electrical System Replacements — $544,500 ($19,755 Free Cash & $524,745 General Fund Debt): See detailed description under Table I — General Fund Debt. Municipal Proiects 11.Hartwell Area TMOD Plan Update — $50,000 (TMOD Stabilization Fund) This is a request to update the Planning Board's Traffic Mitigation Plan for the Hartwell Avenue Transportation Management Overlay District (TMOD). The Traffic Mitigation Plan is a critical part of justifying mitigation payments from private development in the area. The creation of the Overlay District and its associated traffic fund was approved by Town Meeting in 2009 and the TMOD was approved in 2010. $50,000 is requested in FY2019 in order to update the current plan which will more accurately reflect improvements that the Town has implemented and zoning changes that are currently being pursued in the area. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -18 12.1-owell Street Affordable Housing Supplemental Funds — $TBD (CPA): 2014 Annual Town Meeting approved a total of $1,284,653 to be used by LexHAB for the development of affordable housing at the former Busa Farm site off Lowell Street, a Town property acquired with CPA funds in 2009. LexHAB intends to create six units of affordable housing, two of which will be fully handicapped accessible. While the supplemental request for FY2019 is unknown at present, LexHAB anticipates a final project cost will be received prior to Annual Town Meeting. Several factors necessitated the supplemental request. LexHAB is now required to comply with the public bidding process, it plans to purchase solar panels instead of leasing them and the units will be made fully accessible instead of just partially accessible. Construction costs have also increased since the initial estimate. 13.Transportation Mitigation — $100,000 (Free Cash): This annual capital request is to support the ongoing work of the Transportation Safety Group (TSG). The TSG is staffed by the Planning, Engineering, School and Police Departments. These FY2019 funds are proposed for evaluation and development of construction cost estimates for future capital requests and to fund the design and construction of smaller scale safety- related projects. Between FY08 and FYii, Town Meeting appropriated funds to collect data, perform analyses, review citizen requests and recommendations for various townwide transportation improvements in support of the Traffic Mitigation Group (dissolved in 2012 and later reconstituted as the TSG). Due to an increase in the number of citizen requests received over the past few years, the TSG seeks to continue this funding for FY2019 and anticipates the need to be ongoing in order to ensure that transportation safety remains a critical part of Lexington's quality of life. 14.Pine Meadows Equipment — $60,000 (Recreation Retained Earnings): This request will fund the purchase of a new lawn mower, bunker rake and spreader. The new equipment will replace existing equipment which have all exceeded their useful lives. Greens are mowed on a daily basis throughout the golf season and sufficient equipment is needed to properly set up a golf course and provide superior playing conditions on a consistent basis throughout the year. Past and future success at Pine Meadows can be attributed to the ongoing investment in golf course infrastructure and equipment to maintain the eighty eight acres of property. The new equipment will ensure proper maintenance of the turf and bunkers, improved pace of play and superior playing conditions. 15.0Id Reservoir Bathhouse Design — $75,000 (CPA): FY2019 funds will be used to complete a feasibility study for renovations to the Old Reservoir bathhouse. The facility requires a complete renovation and the project entails repairing the plumbing system and installing all new fixtures including showers, toilets, sinks and drinking fountains. The recently completed Recreation and FaciiitiesADA Compliance Studyidentified areas of deficiencies within the facility. The accessible walkway, built in 2000, has settled and buckled in places and requires replacement. A rodent problem was also observed by staff and the renovation will ensure the safety and well-being of those who utilize the facility. Based on the results of the feasibility study, the construction phase of the project is scheduled for FY2020. 16.Athletic Facility Lighting — $975,000 (CPA): The FY2019 request is for $975,000 to replace the existing lighting systems and structures with more cost efficient fixtures and FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -19 illuminants at the Center #1 Baseball Field, Center #2 Softball Field, Center Basketball Courts and the Gallagher Tennis Courts. Funds will also be used to upgrade the lighting system at the Irving H. Mabee Town Pool Complex. The current lighting system is outdated, requires constant repair and does not operate efficiently. The installation of newer energy and cost efficient systems will provide financial savings to the Town and allow for a safer environment in which to participate in night activities. 17.Selectmen's Meeting Room High Definition Broadcasting Upgrade — $44,800 (PEG Special Revenue Fund) FY2019 funds will be used to upgrade the broadcast equipment in the Selectmen's Meeting Room in the Town Office Building. The new equipment will allow for high definition (HD) broadcasts of meetings, a technology which outperforms the current, standard broadcast signal. The HD technology will improve the broadcast for viewers and prevent irregularities and subpar performance. 18.Public Grounds Irrigation Improvements — $100,000 ($60,000 Free Cash ($40,000 CPA): FY2019 funds will be used for updates to the irrigation systems on public grounds. The proposed updates will allow the irrigation to be more targeted on the turf areas while conserving water. The 2017 Annual Town Meeting approved an appropriation for similar upgrades to the Town's athletic fields. The areas targeted in this FY2019 request include the Battle Green, Hastings Park, Emery Park, the Cary Memorial Building grounds and the Town Office Building complex. 19.Community Center Sidewalk — $TBD (CPA): An FY2019 appropriation will provide construction funds for a sidewalk from Marrett Road to the Community Center. The exact amount is currently unknown but it's anticipated that the funding request will be ready in advance of Annual Town Meeting. The Town plans to meet with the proprietors of the adjacent Scottish Rite to discuss the project in early 2018. 20 -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. Based on discussions between the two departments, the target goal is to replace approximately 60 hydrants per year at a cost of $2,500 per hydrant. The Town of Lexington has 1,200 fire hydrants in its fire protection system; a total of 441 hydrants have been replaced. 21.Storm Drainage Improvements and NPDES Compliance — $340,000 (Free Cash): This is an annual request to replace and supplement existing drainage structures, issues typically uncovered during roadway related construction activity. Funds will also be used for continued compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Phase II regulations which help improve the water quality of Lexington's streams and ponds. $70,000 is estimated for compliance with the construction related portions of the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) minimum control measures as mandated by the EPA in the storm water general permit. An estimated $270,000 will be used to repair/replace drainage structures encountered during road construction, repair other drainage areas of concern in the town and improve storm water issues discovered during NPDES investigation work. Areas of drainage concern that are under investigation and analysis include the Oxbow/Constitution Road area, Wildwood Road/ Wood Street area, Augustus Road area FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI - 20 and Webster Road area. Illicit discharge detection has been ongoing in the Vine Brook and Mill Brook areas where contamination has been identified. The pre-emptive repair of existing drainage structures will reduce damage to structures themselves, existing pavement and private and public property. 22. Comprehensive Watershed Storm Water Management Study and Implementation — $390,000 (Free Cash): DPW, Engineering and Conservation collaborate on this annual capital request which addresses drainage/brook management issues. The request funds the continuing design and implementation of watershed plans and the construction of priorities established in those plans. Staff has reviewed three watershed plans already completed (Charles River, Shawsheen River and Mystic River) and developed a prioritization schedule with built-in flexibility pending unforeseen changes. Requested funding will be used to move forward with those prioritized areas. Pleasant Street drainage has been completed and the Whipple Brook area design is ready for permitting and expected to go to construction in calendar year 2018. Significant progress has also been made in the evaluation of the Valleyfield area. Long- term benefits of the program include prevention of property damage, reduction in liability and overall improvement to the health of Lexington's waterways. 23.Townwide Culvert Replacement — $390,000 (Free Cash): This request is part of an ongoing program to replace culverts that are at or near failure. Of the funding requested, $250,000 is estimated for construction costs necessary for culvert replacement, $65,000 is for design, permitting and bidding and the remainder is for contingency. On-going culvert inspections continue to reveal a need for the replacement program as many older culverts are failing. This program is a companion effort with the ongoing Watershed Management Plan. The Oxbow/Constitution Road area is undergoing preliminary evaluations. Detailed design evaluation is complete for Valleyfield and Waltham Street at Clematis Brook; planning, final design, permitting and construction will follow. Proactive replacement of townwide culverts prior to failure will allow for proper design considerations and funding while also minimizing the impact to residents through unexpected road closures and flooding. 24.Center Streetscape Improvements Design — $450,000 (Free Cash): This project aims to improve the center sidewalk, streetscape and circulation with a focus on pedestrian safety and accessibility. Past funding has allowed the design to progress to 25%. An FY2015 request of $600,000 provided funding to complete the design and develop plans and specifications necessary for bidding the project. The plans are being revised based on recommendations from the Center Streetscape Ad -Hoc Committee and Board of Selectmen. This will result in redevelopment of the 25% plans and will include the assistance of additional professionals including historians, irrigation consultants, lighting consultants and tree consultants. The project will then be furthered to 100% plans and specifications ready for bidding. This FY2019 request encompasses the additional design funding necessary to meet these goals. Construction funding is expected to be phased and will be adjusted as plans are finalized and phases are clarified. 25.Equipment Replacement — ($1,069,500) ($1,039,500 General Fund Debt & $30,000 Water Retained Earnings): See detailed description under Table I — General Fund Debt. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI -21 26.Street Improvements — $3,569,016 ($2,600,000 Tax Levy, $969,936 Chapter 90 funding): This is an annual request for the street resurfacing and maintenance program. In addition to the $2,600,000 appropriated from the tax levy, $969,936 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 preliminary list of the streets to be repaired under this article is currently being developed. 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.

Previous appropriations have funded the initial installation and subsequent expansion of server area network (SAN) equipment in the server rooms at both the Town Office Building and 201 Bedford Street. These appropriations also funded the purchase of necessary software to assist with file storage, archiving and discovery. The FY2019 request will fund the replacement of an end -of -life (EOL) blade chassis and servers, additional disk based storage and backup storage. The need for the equipment is driven by rapidly growing data sets and unstructured files due to email archiving requirements under State Public Records Laws. This capital will provide the ability to continue to support the Town's application and storage needs. 28.Application Implementation — $390,000 (Free Cash): This capital project is for large application migrations and implementations. The initial focus of the project will be to maximize the value of existing applications through the addition and adoption of features and modules. FY2019 funding will be used to invest in additional modules and services for the MUNIS financial software and for the acquisition and installation of vehicle sensors and trackers for DPW vehicles. The MUNIS financial system's chart of accounts was developed over 10 years ago and currently creates accounting issues and inefficiencies. Funds will be used to correct the issues and optimize the system. FY2019 funds will also be used to purchase and install automatic vehicle locations systems for DPW vehicles. This technology will track a vehicle's movement and activity to allow for DPW operations to better manage plowing, treatments and road maintenance. It will also provide real-time uploads of critical diagnostic data to better manage vehicle repairs and service. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan January 22, 2017 XI - 22 29.Network Core Equipment Replacement — $350,000 (Free Cash): The purpose of this multi-year capital funded project is to replace aging equipment or add new equipment to the Town's core voice and data network. During FY2017 and FY2018, the Town completed network and cybersecurity assessments. Those assessments provided targeted recommendations for changes in the network. This FY2019 capital request is for replacement of the EOL existing equipment and the addition of the equipment recommended in the recent assessments. In addition to the replacement hardware and the new hardware, this request covers the services for the network reprogramming, installation of the equipment and the addition of software to address network and security monitoring and management needs. 30.Archive and Records Management/ Records Conservation & Preservation — $20,000 (CPA): This FY2019 request will fund the conservation and preservation of historic municipal documents and records, specifically the remaining old Town papers from 1722-1923. 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. Other CPA -Funded Proiects 31. 9 Oakland Street Renovation and Adaptive Re -Use — $200,000 (CPA): Supportive Living, Inc. (SLI), a non-profit organization, provides appropriate, affordable and supportive housing for survivors of brain injury. In 2007, Town Meeting approved $300,000 to help fund the renovation of 7 Oakland Street into 15 units of affordable housing for survivors of brain injury. In 2009, the Town was awarded the Robert Kuehn Community Preservation Award for the adaptive re -use of 7 Oakland Street, now referred to as the 'Douglas House'. SLI also owns the small building located at 9 Oakland Street and this FY2019 request seeks funds for the renovation and adaptive re- use of the structure. The entire property, 7-9 Oakland Street, is located within the Battle Green Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was previously home to the Lexington Pressand originally housed M.H. Merriam & Company. Renovations will include an additional common area for residents, additional meeting and office space for Douglas House staff and an expansion of the Wellness Center. The total project cost is $425,000; SLI plans to use $200,000 from the CPA in conjunction with foundation grants, private donations and contributions from SLI's Board of Directors.

The Board of Assessors grants abatements for real estate and personal property taxes in cases where an individual's assessed valuation is determined to be in excess of fair market value. ACCRUAL BASIS FOR ACCOUNTING — A method of accounting that recognizes revenue when earned, rather than when collected, and recognizes expenses when incurred, rather than when paid. In Massachusetts, cities and towns must use this basis of accounting for the audited financial statements of Enterprise funds. (Also see Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting). APPROPRIATION — An authorization granted by the Town Meeting to make expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. Appropriations for any expenditure specify dollar amounts, funding sources, and a period of time within which the funds must be spent. Any funds not expended within the specified time (usually one fiscal year) revert to the Unreserved Fund Balance. APPROPRIATED BUDGET — As used in fund summaries and department summaries within the budget document, represents the current year budget as originally adopted by Town Meeting. It does not include prior year encumbrances. ARTICLE — An article or item on the Town Warrant. There are four standard financial articles that appear in the Warrant every year: the Operating Budget Article; an Article for "Supplementary Appropriations for the Current Fiscal Year" (the current fiscal year is the one that was appropriated at the previous year's Town Meeting); an Article for Prior Years' Unpaid Bills; and an Article for supplementary appropriations for previously authorized capital improvement projects. "New" capital project requests and other special items generally appear as individual articles without a predetermined order. ARTICLE TRANSFERS- Projects from previous year Town Meeting article appropriations occasionally have unexpended balances not required once the project is complete. The unexpended balance becomes available for future Town Meeting appropriation. ASSESSED VALUATION — The valuation of real estate or other property determined by the Town Assessor for tax levying purposes. The Commonwealth certifies the values and methodology in determining values every three years. ASSETS — Property, plant and equipment owned by the Town. AUDIT — An examination of the town's financial systems, procedures, and data by a certified public accountant (independent auditor), and a report on the fairness of financial statements and on local compliance with statues and regulations. The audit serves as a valuable management tool for evaluation of the fiscal performance of a community. BUDGETARY FUND BALANCE (ALSO FREE CASH) — Remaining, unrestricted funds from operations of the previous fiscal year including unexpended free cash from the previous year, actual receipts in excess of revenue estimates shown on the tax recapitulation sheet, and unspent amounts in budget line -items. Unpaid property taxes and certain deficits reduce the amount that can be certified as free cash. The calculation of free cash is based on the balance sheet as of June 30, which is submitted by the Comptroller. Free cash is not available for appropriation until certified by the Director of Accounts. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan B-1 January 22, 2018 BOND — A written promise to pay a specified sum of money—called the face value or principal amount—at a specified date in the future, called the maturity date(s), together with periodic interest at a specified rate. The difference between notes, usually one year or two years in length, and a bond is that the latter runs for a longer period of time. State statute and the Board of Selectmen establish the length of a bond repayment. BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE (BAN or Note) — A temporary note issued for no more than one or two years. This is commonly used to defer the initial pay down of debt or to accommodate reimbursement for borrowed notes from a private source or other governmental entity. BUDGET — A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for a given period with proposed means of financing. Lexington's budget is a financial plan that is established for a single fiscal year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. BUDGET MESSAGE (Town Manager's Transmittal Letter) — The opening section of the budget that provides the Board of Selectmen, Town Meeting Members, and the general public with a general summary of the most important aspects of the budget, changes from the current and previous fiscal years, and the recommendations of the Town Manager. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE — A major, non-recurring expenditure involving land acquisition, construction or major rehabilitation of a facility, or purchase of equipment costing $25,000 or more with a useful life of five years or more. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) — A financial planning and management tool that identifies public facility and equipment requirements, presents these requirements in order of priority, and schedules them for funding and implementation. CEMETERY FUND — See Special Revenue Fund. CHAPTER 90 — Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90, Section 34 authorizes the Commonwealth to allocate funds to municipalities through the Transportation Bond Issue for highway construction, preservation and improvement projects that create or extend the life of capital facilities. Routine maintenance operations such as pothole filling and snow and ice removal are not covered. The formula for determining the Chapter 90 level of funding is based on a municipality's miles of public ways, population and level of employment. Municipalities receive Chapter 90 funds on pre -approved projects on a reimbursement basis. CHERRY SHEET — The State allocates a portion of generated revenue to municipalities each year for education and general governmental expenditures. The amount of state aid each community will receive is itemized in a financial statement printed on cherry colored paper (thus the name). The amount of reimbursement is a function of the State budget. Towns usually receive notification in late summer, subsequent to the beginning of the fiscal year. COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT (CPA) — is a local acceptance statute approved by Lexington voters in 2006. The purpose of the CPA is to fund open space, affordable housing, historic preservation and recreation projects that meet the eligibility criteria of the Act. Funding for projects comes from an annual property tax surcharge of up to three percent, which is the percentage adopted in Lexington. The local surcharge is matched by State funds collected as part of the deeds excise tax. The matching funds have ranged from 100% in 2006 to 17.8% in 2017. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan AW January 22, 2018 COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE (CPC) — this nine -member appointed Committee reviews projects and determines their eligibility under the CPA. Projects that are approved by the Committee are then recommended to Town Meeting, which has the final vote on appropriating funds for each project. Members of the CPC are appointed by the Board of Selectmen (3), Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Recreation Committee, Housing Authority, Housing Partnership and Historical Commission. COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS — the process following State law requiring that for purchases of $50,000 or more a Town must advertise, solicit and publicly open sealed bids from prospective vendors. After a review period, the Town Manager then awards a contract to the successful bidder. CONTINUING BALANCE ACCOUNTS — At the end of a fiscal year, any unexpended balance in a continuing balance account carries forward to the next year as a type of reserve against future liabilities related to the account. Massachusetts General Laws provides for a number of continuing balance accounts including those for: workers compensation claims, property and liability uninsured losses, and unemployment compensation claims. A continuing balance account is also typically used to fund compensated absence liabilities, facility repair accounts and equipment replacement accounts. DEBT EXCLUSION — The amount of taxes assessed in excess of the Proposition 2-1/2 levy limit for the payment of debt service costs, subject to a popular referendum. Two-thirds of the Selectmen and a majority of citizens voting must approve the exclusion. These funds are raised to retire the debt service for the project. They are not added to the tax levy limit for the following fiscal year. DEBT SERVICE — Payment of interest and principal on an obligation resulting from the issuance of bonds. DEPARTMENT — A division of the Town that has overall management responsibility for an operation or group of related operations within a functional area. DEPRECIATION — 1) Expiration in the service life of capital assets attributable to wear and tear, deterioration, and inadequacy of obsolescence. 2) That portion of the cost of a capital asset that is charged as an expense during a particular period. Depreciation is based on historic costs not replacement value. EFFICIENCY MEASURES — Indicate how well resources are being used. They include cost - per -unit and productivity indicators. ELEMENT — The smallest unit of budgetary accountability, which encompasses specific and distinguishable lines of work performed for the purpose of accomplishing a function for which the Town is responsible. ENCUMBRANCE — To encumber funds means to set aside or commit funds for a future expenditure. Encumbrances include obligations in the form of purchase orders, contracts or salary commitments, which are chargeable to an appropriation and for which a part of the appropriation is reserved. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan B-3 January 22, 2018 ENTERPRISE FUND — An account supported by user fees for a specific service that the Town operates as a separate "business" (e.g. Water, Sewer, Recreation). Enterprise funds do not depend on taxes for operating revenue as user fee revenue and expenses are balanced over the long run. Budgeting for all Enterprise Funds is done on a Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) basis. EXPENDITURE — Decrease in net financial resources for the purpose of acquiring and providing goods and services. EXPENSES — Outflows or other using up of assets or incurring of liabilities during a period from delivering or producing goods, rendering services or carrying out other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations. Expenses consist of the following objects of expenditure: Utilities, Supplies and Materials, Contractual Services, and Equipment. FINES & FORFEITURES — Revenue collected from court fines, penalty charges for overdue taxes along with non -criminal fines are included in this category. FREE CASH — see Budgetary Fund Balance. FUND BALANCE — The excess of assets over liabilities. FUNDING SOURCE — The specifically identified funds allocated to meet budget requirements/expenses. GENERAL FUND — Revenues derived from the tax levy, state aid, local receipts and available funds are considered General Fund revenues. The General Fund is distinguished from Enterprise Funds and Special Revenue Funds. GFOA — Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. The G.F.O.A.is a professional organization of governmental finance officers. GRANT — A contribution by one government unit or outside agency to another governmental unit. The contribution is usually made for a specific purpose but is sometimes for general purposes. INVESTMENT INCOME — The Town earns interest on cash held in savings accounts and invested in short term securities. The investment goal is to ensure that all funds are invested in short-term, risk -averse investments. The Treasurer is very restricted as to the instruments in which investments can be made. The amount of investment income is a function of the amount of funds invested and the interest rate. LIABILITY — Debt or other legal obligation which must be paid, renewed or refunded at some future date, but does not include encumbrances. LOCAL RECEIPTS — A category of revenue sources including school department charges for services, investment income, fines and forfeitures, building permits and excise taxes. These revenues are not considered part of the Proposition 2 1/z Tax Levy. MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS FOR ACCOUNTING — A method of accounting that recognizes revenue when it is actually received and recognizes expenditures when a commitment is made. In Massachusetts, cities and towns must use this basis for accounting for the general government. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan an January 22, 2018 MOTOR VEHICLE EXCISE — All Massachusetts vehicle owners who have their vehicle(s) registered in the State of Massachusetts pay an annual motor vehicle excise tax to the city or town in which they reside. The Registry of Motor Vehicles creates a listing of all vehicles registered in Lexington and the book value assigned to each vehicle. The Town uses this information to bill all owners an annual tax equal to 2 1/2 percent or $25 for each $1,000 of the vehicle's value. MWRA — Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, from which the Town purchases water at a wholesale rate in the form of annual assessments to the Water and Wastewater (Sewer) departments. OPEB — Other Post -Employment Benefits refer to the Town's requirement to provide health, dental and life insurance benefits to qualified retirees. Over the next 30 years, the Town's OPEB liability is approximately $200 million. In recent years, the Town has begun to fund an OPEB Trust Fund for the purpose of reducing the liability. OPERATING BUDGET — The portion of the budget that pertains to daily operations, which provide basic services for the fiscal year. The operating budget contains appropriations for such expenditures as personnel, supplies, utilities, materials, travel, and fuel and the proposed means of financing them. OPERATING EXPENDITURE — An ongoing or recurring cost of performing a function or providing a service. Operating expenditures include personal services, supplies and materials, utilities, contractual services, minor equipment, and debt service. OTHER EXCISE (Hotel/Motel and Jet Fuel) — Lexington hotels and motels charge an 11.7% room tax to guests in accordance with local option legislation. The Town of Lexington receives 6% of this tax in semi-annual installments (See page II -3 of the Revenue Section). OTHER FEES AND CHARGES — Revenue is received from fees or charges by the Inspectional Services, Engineering and Planning Departments, and the Department of Public Works. Also included in this category are collections from ambulance fees, municipal liens, and building rentals. OVERLAY — The amount reserved for funding property tax abatements and exemptions granted by the Board of Assessors. OVERRIDE — An action taken by the voters of the town to exceed the limit placed on tax revenue growth by the State tax limitation law known as Proposition 2 1/2. The tax levy limit can be exceeded only if a majority of residents voting approve an override. This sum is then added to the base levy for the next fiscal year and becomes a permanent addition to the tax levy limit. PARKING METER FUNDS — Revenue from town parking meters and parking lot permits are deposited into the Parking Fund. This fund helps offset the costs of Police Department personal services, parking lot maintenance costs, and Department of Public Works expenses directly related to parking lot maintenance. PERFORMANCE MEASURES — Specific quantitative and qualitative measures of work performed as an objective of the department. Performance Measurement Systems are generally comprised of the following indicators: workload measures, efficiency measures and outcome measures. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan B-5 January 22, 2018 PERSONAL SERVICES — A line on the program, subprogram and element sheets which refers to the total of the following objects of expenditure: Wages, Overtime, and Other Compensation. PROGRAM — A group of related activities performed by one or more organizational units for the purpose of accomplishing a function for which the Town is responsible. PROPOSITION 21/2— A tax limitation measure passed by Massachusetts voters in 1980 which limits the growth of the total property tax levy to 2.5% per year. In other words, the total revenue allowed to be raised through real estate and personal property taxes cannot increase by more than 2.5% from one fiscal year to the next. New construction values are in addition to this limit. Two provisions within Proposition 21/2 allow the citizens of a community by popular vote to authorize the Town to raise taxes above the tax levy limit: an operating override or a debt exclusion. RECREATION FEES — Users of Town recreational facilities and teams participating in Town sponsored sports pay fees for these services. Revenue collected from these fees covers the costs of maintaining facilities, providing coaches and referees, and recreation program management, as well as some Recreation related capital improvements. These recreation programs are managed through a Recreation Enterprise Fund. RESERVE FUND — An amount set aside annually within the budget of a city or town to provide a funding source for "extraordinary and unforeseen" expenditures. In a town, the Finance (or Appropriation) Committee can authorize transfers from this fund. RETAINED EARNINGS — The equity account reflecting the accumulated earnings of the enterprise funds. REVENUE — Budgetary resources. The various revenues the Town receives are listed in the Revenue Summary in the Budget Overview section.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM — A group of top managers including department heads from eleven departments and the Town Manager's Office. SEWER & WATER CHARGES — The Town operates Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds to manage these municipal operations. Users of sewer and water services provided by the Town pay charges depending upon metered usage. Revenue received from charges for sewer and water services is used to fully support the costs of utility operations, such as Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) assessments, debt service obligations, personal service costs, and capital projects. Charges for services are based on a three-tier block rate structure corresponding to usage. Charges rise as usage increases. The Town pays the MWRA assessments to supply water and dispose of Town sewage. SPECIAL REVENUE FUND — A group of accounts that are funded by revenues from other sources such as the Parking and Cemetery Funds. FY2019 Town Manager's Preliminary Budget & Financing Plan A. January 22, 2018 STABILIZATION FUND — Massachusetts General Law Ch.40, Sec. 5B, allows a municipality to appropriate in any year an amount not exceeding ten percent of the amount raised in the preceding fiscal year; the aggregate amount in the fund shall not exceed ten percent of the equalized valuation of the municipality. The treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and may invest the proceeds legally; any interest earned shall remain with the fund. Money from the Stabilization Fund may be appropriated for any lawful purpose by two-thirds vote of Town Meeting. In addition to the General Stabilization Fund, the town has stabilization funds for specific purposes, including the Transportation Demand Management Fund, Traffic Mitigation Fund, Special Education Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund. TAX LEVY — The total amount to be raised through real estate and personal property taxes. Lexington property owners pay taxes to the Town based on the assessed value of their real and/or personal property. Each year the Board of Selectmen conducts a tax classification hearing to determine a tax rate. The Town Assessor makes adjustments to real estate values in order to properly reflect fair market value. In addition to real estate, businesses may also pay a personal property tax (set at the commercial rate) based on the value of their professional equipment, furniture and fixtures. The amount of taxes a property owner pays is determined by multiplying the applicable tax rate by the valuation. For example, if the tax rate is $10 and a property's assessed value is $100,000, the property owner will pay $10 times $100,000/1,000, or $1,000. Tax levy revenues are the largest source of funding for the Town. TAX LEVY LIMIT — The maximum amount that can be raised by a municipality within Proposition 2 1/2. TAX RATE — The amount of tax levied for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. USER FEES — Fees paid for direct receipt of a public service by the user or beneficiary of the service.

PRESENTER: Charles Lamb, Chairman, Capital Expenditures Committee SUMMARY: ITEM NUMBER: 1.3 Charles Lamb, Chairman of the CEC, will review the Capital Expenditures Committee's initial comments regarding the FY19 capital budget. SUGGESTED MOTION: FOLLOW-UP: DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 1/24/2018 8:45 p.m. ATTACHMENTS: Description Type D C1,<'C'a,utinnu mits Sunnn it W Rackup Matorrinl Capital Expenditures Committee's (CEC's) Report to Budget Summit IV Highlighting Its Concerns Regarding the FY2019-FY2023 Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) with Emphasis on FY2019 Funding (24 January 2018) This document summarizes the CEC's concerns with some of the Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) that have been presented to us in this budget cycle. We have already discussed these issues with the Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager for Finance as well as the individual department staff. Note that when compared to the aggregate CIPs that we reviewed and the still -large number in the White Book, please appreciate that we endorse the vast majority of the proposed capital program. First there are two projects with which we have specific, funding -timing concerns: #1048 Community Center Campus Expansion: This project initially appeared in this cycle as an FY2018 project with no consideration to the Town's 5 -year capital plan, and so we welcome its complete removal from the white book. Leading up to last November's debt exclusion, the Town wrestled with a workable debt service model. Hence, until the other projects in the current model which are already funded or in the pipeline to be funded -- the new Fire & Rescue Headquarters and its swing space, the Lexington Children's Place and its ancillary projects, the Police Headquarters and its swing space, not to mention the needs of the Lexington High School which is not in the model but certainly looms large -- the CEC position is that this project is premature. The Committee understands that increased capacity at LexCC could be put to excellent use, but when the LexCC opened it provided an order of magnitude enhancement above what already existed. In these tight fiscal times with Public Safety and Schools having far higher priority than any further enhancement of capacity at LexCC, our position is that we cannot justify the expansion until it is included in the out -year modeling. #1020 Public Safety Radio Console Replacement: The CEC believes it is essential to advance this $370,000 funding from FY2020 to FY2019. No matter how reliable Motorola has been in the past with regard to maintenance of the current equipment under contract and the expectation they could and will be able to provide maintenance without a contract, we believe this element of public -safety should not be left "at risk"; it should be replaced in FY2019—and the two upcoming relocations of the Police Headquarters are not a factor as the console is, and would continue to be, readily movable. The following issues have already been taken up with the Town Manager and/or staff: • We had serious concerns about a small number of out -year projects. • These are multiple projects where we need additional info before we can evaluate them properly. • We have general concerns about the general CIP format, and out -year funding numbers (how the estimates were made, inflation factors or not vs instructions to departments). • Several projects are listed as the responsibility of the client for the project as opposed to DPF which has the expertise and responsibility for executing the project. Finally, regarding CIP #835, the Visitors Center, CEC generally agrees that this project is necessary but is looking to see progress made on using the STM appropriation prior to ATM. We support the proposed $200,000 appropriation at this ATM.
