(Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) FUNDS REQUESTED: Unknown at press time DESCRIPTION: This is an annual article to request funds to supplement existing appropriations for certain capital projects in light of revised cost estimates that exceed such appropriations. GENERAL ARTICLES ARTICLE 28 CONFIRM STREET ACCEPTANCE AND TITLE (PORTION OF PELHAM ROAD) To see if the Town will vote to confirm the establishment and acceptance of the layout as a Town way the portion of Pelham Road from Eliot Road a distance of 526 feet,more or less westerly, as laid out by the Selectmen, all as shown upon a plan on file in the office of the Town Clerk, dated May 1896 and to take by eminent domain, donation or otherwise acquire any fee,easement,or other interest in land necessary therefore;or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This segment of Pelham Road was accepted by the Town many years ago,but the record is unclear as to whether it was ever conveyed to the Town. This article will confirm that the street is an accepted street, and will authorize the Town to take title to this segment of Pelham Road. ARTICLE 29 CIVIL SERVICE WITHDRAWAL To see if the Town will vote to revoke the acceptance of Civil Service laws for the Town of Lexington police force at all ranks, including the Police Chief,thereby removing the police force from the provisions of the Civil Service Laws, and the rules and regulations relating to the same,provided that this revocation will not affect the Civil Service status of existing personnel in their current positions; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This Article requests approval to prospectively remove all uniformed members of the Lexington Police Department,including the position of Police Chief,from the provisions of Civil Service law. The Lexington Police Department has been in the state civil service system since Town Meeting votes in 1911 (police officers) and 1926 (police chief). At that time there was little state legislation or case law dealing with employee rights or responsibilities. Much has changed since then. The Town's Police Chief and Town Manager believe that the hiring and promotion requirements under the Civil Service program restrict the Town's ability to hire the best applicants for the positions. The proposed change would provide the Town of Lexington with more control over personnel choices by allowing the Town to set its own policies, requirements and procedures for hiring and, subject to bargaining, promoting officers. In the past, the Police Department has found it difficult to fill open positions because of a lack of qualified candidates identified through the Civil Service process,resulting in unfilled vacancies and higher overtime costs. The change would increase the pool of potential candidates by opening the process to qualified individuals who have not taken the Civil Service exam. 13 ARTICLE 30 AMEND TOWN BYLAWS-REDUCE/BAN POLYSTYRENE MATERIALS (Citizen Article) To see whether the Town will vote to amend the Town Bylaws to reduce or eliminate polystyrene food serviceware and packaging, or to act in any manner in relation thereto.

(Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) 15 DESCRIPTION: This Article would change the name of the Board of Selectmen to make it gender neutral throughout the Town's Zoning Bylaw. Because changes to the Zoning Bylaw require a different procedure than changes to a general bylaw,this Article is proposed separately from Article 34.

In order to provide everyone with a better understanding of the meaning, the following definitions are provided. AVAILABLE FUNDS- "FREE CASH" The amount certified annually by the Bureau of Accounts, Department of Revenue. The certified amount is the Unreserved Fund Balance less all outstanding taxes. This fund may be used by a vote of the town meeting as available funds for appropriation. AVAILABLE FUNDS-OTHER Usually refers to balances in special funds or to balances remaining in specific articles previously appropriated. These balances become available for re-appropriation by Town Meeting(or are returned to the town's general fund balance). "CHERRY SHEET" A financial statement issued by the State, at one time on cherry-colored paper,that itemizes state aid due to the town, and charges payable by the town to the state and county. GENERAL FUND The municipal fund accounts for most financial expenses and revenues approved by town meeting. The tax levy is the principal source of revenue in the general fund. ENTERPRISE FUND A self-supporting account for a specific service or program that the town operates as a separate "business." Enterprise funds do not depend on taxes for operating revenue. For example,water operations are funded through the water enterprise fund,which receives funds from a consumption based fee system. Ideally, enterprise resources and expenditures should balance over time. Funds in enterprise accounts do not revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. OVERLAY The overlay is the amount raised by the Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover property tax abatements and exemptions granted by the Board of Assessors. RESERVE FUND This appropriation is voted at the annual town meeting in an amount not to exceed 5% of the tax levy of the preceding year. Transfers from the reserve fund are approved by the Appropriation Committee and may only be used for"extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures." REVOLVING FUND Revolving funds are used for a particular service. An overall limit on spending is set by Town Meeting but may be subsequently amended by vote of the Board of Selectmen and Appropriation Committee. The funds can be used for the service without appropriation up to the approved limit.
