May 20,2008 Annual City meeting(Voting Day-third Tuesday in May) Town/City of Vermont Education Finance and Property Tax Reform Resolution WHEREAS: Vermont's hybrid system of State- and locally-controlled education finance is not working, proven by the complicated and expensive changes enacted almost yearly into law; WHEREAS: Each year more State control of the education system is either enacted into law or discussed under the guise of controlling costs, hoping to make the system work better or making it less complex, and this process will continue each year under our current education funding law, without ever producing any meaningful reform; WHEREAS: The complexity of Act 60/68 and the associated lack of clear accountability are the ultimate drivers behind the explosive growth in the education costs; RESOLVED: The Administration, Legislature and Vermonters should identify and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of breaking from Act 60/68 and moving in one of two different directions: 1. A public education system that is governed, managed, and primarily financed locally, or; 2. A public education system that is governed, managed, and financed by the State; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: There needs to be public discussion and a meaningful debate with the goal of moving to one model or the other while maintaining our commitment to a substantially equal educational opportunity for all Vermont students.

The depth of ledge varied from 2' to 10' +/-. We have prepared a conceptual existing condition plan showing ledge probes and flagged wetlands by Pioneer Environmental. We have started laying out roads and parking with an assumed building footprint and it appears there will be at least some ledge to be blasted. At this point, I am optimistic that the Cairns Arena stormwater pond will be used for obtaining a Stormwater Discharge Permit for the project. (We still need to complete final calculations). Please call if you have any questions or comments. Bill William H.
