February 29,2008 MATTHEW PROBASCO F5 Stonehedge Drive • South Burlington, Vermont 05403 February 29, 2008 South Burlington City Council C/o Cathyann LaRose Associate Planner 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05403 RE: Resignation from the Natural Resources Committee Dear Cathyann, Please pardon the rather belated formal notification, but as you have been made aware, I am no longer able to serve on the Natural Resources Committee as my wife and I have finally moved out of the City of South Burlington. I appreciate the opportunity to serve very much and enjoyed working with all of you. Please send my best regards to the remaining committee members. Thank you, Matthew Probasco SOUTH BURLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT (ANCE ) December 26,2007 To: South Burlington City Council From: Captain Todd Shepard Subject: Public Nuisance Ordinance Please fmd attached a copy of proposed language that would enact a new ordinance addressing issues of public nuisance that our community is currently faced with. As outlined in the ordinance,the issues surround noise,public defecation, and defacing buildings and other structures, as well as littering. Annually,the police department responds to nearly 200 complaints of loud noise. These complaints vary from loud stereos,people, construction equipment, and even include waste removal vehicles in the morning. While preparing this ordinance it was pointed out to me that the city has even been receiving complaints concerning general airport noise. While the city has a zoning regulation and the State of Vermont has a criminal statute addressing noise,neither of these documents or procedures have aided in a reduction of our communities issues. The zoning regulation is primarily an administrative process and the criminal statute is rarely an option due to interpretations and the pressing number of more serious crimes being handled by county prosecutors. As our community gets larger,we must have the resources to adequately address the increased urbanization of the area. The metropolitan area surrounding us has experienced an increase in graffiti and general mischief related complaints involving spray-painting,tagging, and other forms of vandalism. Our neighbor, Burlington,has addressed tagging and graffiti related vandalism with a municipal ordinance to allow additional enforcement options. Current efforts to prosecute graffiti type incidents have been unsuccessful with indications that the damage done is not permanent and can be easily removed,yet our community still endures a loss by having to clean up this type of mischief. Details about the public defecation and littering stem for an increase in these types of complaints. As our community grows there appears to be an increased amount of complaints about pedestrians who are usually intoxicated or homeless and unwilling to wait for public restrooms. In 2007,our agency encountered nearly 200 intoxicated persons that were in need of assistance and could not function on their own. Intoxicated persons walking about the city is dangerous for themselves and the motoring public,but causes additional problems because of their inability to make rational decisions,to include where to relieve themselves. General issues of littering is covered in Vermont Statutes,however our agency regularly respond to complaints where citizens utilize business trash bins and recycle containers. Vermont law does cover theft of services,however the amounts are so low that cases are usually not prosecuted. Our community is growing and acts of general nuisance need to be addressed. More and more, our court system is unable to respond to these low priority incidents,however our community deserves action by the local government. To accomplish this,we must have tools such as this nuisance ordinance to aid in protecting our community's quality of life. 575 DORSET STREET, SUITE 2 • SOUTH BURLINGTON,VERMONT 05403-6295 Dispatch: 846-4111 •Administration: 846-4165•Fax:846-4102 Trevor S.

This effort was lead by Mr. Lou Lertola who now would like to ask Council to increase the exemption to $40,000 which is the maximum amount permitted by state law. You will remember that also under state law and Act60/68 the State only takes the first $10,000 of the exemption off the education grand list requiring other taxpayers to make up the shortage of revenue due the education department. There are currently 34 residents enrolled in this program. Under the $20,000 exemption, the residents of South Burlington "subsidized" the ed fund $4369 and the City collected $1378 less than budgeted revenue for a total of$5747. This equated to .0002 on the tax rate, or just $.63 for an average home. Since we do not have next years tax rate yet, we will use the current rate to measure the impact of an increase to $40,000. If the exemption had been $40,000 this year, the taxpayers would have made up $13108 to the ed fund and the city would have foregone $4133 in revenue for a total of$17241. This equates to .0006 on the tax rate, or$1.90 on the average home. Of course, with the new charter provisions the city will not forgo any revenue from an exemption increase, we will adjust the tax rate to retain the same revenues. Thus, the bottom line would be a transfer of$17241 from disabled veterans' tax bills to other residential and business tax rates. Those are the financial implications of Mr. Lertola's request. It is a Council decision as to whether to put his question before the voters in May, 2008.
