Hafter, City Manager April 14, 2009 Chair and City Council South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Consideration of approval of Cooperative Agreement with VTrans for South Burlington STP-5200(18): Third-Lane Interstate access at Staples Plaza To All Members: Attached is the cooperative agreement between the City and State that will allow the City to go forward with the construction project to add a third-lane on Williston Road eastbound at Staples Plaza. This extra lane will serve as a dedicated access onto I-89. It will continue the lane that disappears into Staples Plaza through to the southbound I-89 on ramp. It will also address pedestrian and bike path issues. The Council has reviewed this project several times, including the local concerns and priorities public hearing. The agreement will allow the City to manage this project as a local project. The funding for 90% of the project comes from a federal designated appropriation (earmark!). Although South Burlington is legally required to provide a 10% match, we have been able to negotiate an arrangement whereby both Burlington and UVM will reimburse South Burlington 2.5% of the local match, leaving South Burlington with a 5% share. Of the total estimated project cost of$3,187,500, our share will be $159,575. Please approve this agreement. Council will have an opportunity to review design plans as they progress.

This document is to outline the basis for that program and serve as the Agreement of Understanding between the City and the Airport. BACKGROUND Part 150 of Federal Aviation Regulations "Airport Noise Compatibility Planning" sets forth the standards for airport operators to use in documenting noise exposure in the airport environs and in establishing programs to minimize noise-related land use incompatibilities. Formal submission to the FAA under Part 150 includes documentation for two principal elements: (1) Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) and (2) Noise Compatibility Program (NCP). In 1987-1990, the Airport conducted a study and prepared NEMs and adopted an NCP. The FAA formally approved the Noise Compatibility Program for the Airport on September 21, 1990. In 2006, the Airport updated its NEMs to reflect aviation activity using 2006 as the base or existing year and 2011 as the target year. Part 150 requires that the Airport use a measure of cumulative noise called the Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) to depict noise exposure. The update NEMs were prepared by an internationally recognized firm, Harris, Miller, Miller, and Harris (HMMH) who specializes in Part 150 compatibility planning. HMMH based the NEMs on FAA standards and the approved computer model outlined in Part 150. Such factors as Airport aviation activity, types of aircraft, flight schedules, time of day and other indicators were all required inputs into the program. Input was also obtained from the Vermont Air National Guard to reflect their operations. Noise/land use compatibility guidelines provided by the FAA indicate that residential dwellings in areas that are subjected to 65 dnI and above are considered noncompatible uses. Therefore, when the Airport prepared a revised NCP in 2008, it established the 65 dnI sound level as the standard for eligibility for land acquisition. it further included a provision in the NCP that indicated that residents who lived in the 65 dnI who desired to relocate from the noise impacted area could request that the Airport include them in a voluntary program whereby the Airport would purchase their property. Residents in impacted areas would also be eligible for relocation benefits under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (as amended) and where eligible would receive benefits under this relocation program when the properties were purchased by the Airport utilizing funding received under the FAA Airport Improvement Program. It is the plan of the Airport to work with the City and with neighbors to insure that impacted residents who volunteer are able to be relocated under the NCP and FAA acquisition guidelines. NOISE (LIVING) WALL As part of the land acquisition program, homes that are purchased cannot be rented or used for housing on the site. They are offered for sale to be removed or are deconstructed or demolished, with the site leveled and seeded. Concerns have been expressed that noise will increase when dwellings are removed that might tend to act as a noise buffer. The Airport is finalizing a Land Use/Reuse plan for the properties being purchased and, as a part of that plan desires to install a "living wall" approximately along the 65 dnl line to reduce visual impact of the airport and as a measure to aid in maintaining or reducing the impact of aircraft noise on the adjacent properties. The Airport proposes to install a test section of this wall on properties located at 1151 and 1153 Airport Drive that were previously purchased by the Airport and from which dwellings were removed in 2008. The "living wall" is being designed by Michael Lawrence Associates and will be approximately 150' with a four foot berm and 8' wall for a total height of structure and earth of approximately 12'. The proposed cross section is included with this Agreement as ATTACHMENT A. NOISE MONITORING In an effort to determine the effectiveness of the proposed living wall and also to explore the effect of removing structures from properties on the level of noise on adjacent properties, the Airport will be conducting a Sound Measurement Program for monitoring noise levels. The Airport, working in conjunction with the City has selected several locations along the 65 dnl line where noise monitoring devices will be located and where a series of noise readings will be taken during the next several months. Location of the monitoring devices include the properties at 1151 and 1153 Airport Drive where noise readings will be taken both prior to and after the propose section of the living wall is constructed. New England Air Quality Testing, a Division of Heine! and Noyes, a local environmental firm, has been selected to conduct the Sound Measurement Program testing. Their proposed work plan, which includes approximate location of the noise monitoring devices is included with this Agreement as ATTACHMENT B. Noise monitoring will be used to assess the effectiveness of the "living wall". If it is found that the wall successfully meets the goals of this Agreement, then the concept will be extended along the length of the 65 dnI where it is adjacent to the residential area. GOALS AND LIMITATIONS While it is important to install the "living wall" and to conduct noise monitoring along the areas adjacent to the Airport as proposed in this Agreement and to provide the Airport and the City with a better understanding of noise impacts and the effects of the "living wall", it is important to understand that there are paramount considerations in the meaning of the 65 dnl and qualifications concerning any Sound Measurement Program. Goals and limitations are as follows: 1. A very important goal and consideration by the Airport is to ensure that any resident that lives within the 65 dnl and above noise contour, as determined by the 2006 FAA approved noise study, has the opportunity to relocate from that area by being considered for eligibility under the FAA funded land acquisition program, and thus receive all appropriate benefits for which they are entitled in the sale of their property to the Airport and in relocating to a new residence. 2. A primary goal of the monitoring program is to determine the relative differential between noise levels taken during a period of time, or at a moment in time, by use of sound level devices placed at different-- distances, and at different locations along and on either side of the indicated 65 dnI line. This should also provide a relative base which could be used for comparison with future measurements taken in the same area. 3. It is important to restate that the Airport and the City do not want an increase in noise levels as the result of actions taken on property between the 65 dnl line and the airport, such as the removal of structures. 4. The Airport intends to test of effectiveness of the "living wall" as a result of construction of a section of such a wall. Measurements of noise will help determine whether the segment maintains, or improves, the existing noise situation by measuring the existing noise differential on either side of the 65 dnl line in the area of the wall. The goal is to assure that the noise level does not increase as the result of removing structures by constructing a "living wall" as a replacement noise buffering entity. 5. In addition to the "living wall" and to help ensure that noise levels do not increase, other measures may be considered to supplement the noise wall. These would include the possible construction of earthen berms, plantings of dense growth, or both. In addition, when an area adjacent to the Airport is redeveloped or reused the orientation of possible new structures must be considered in evaluating the proposed structure's impact on directing or shielding noise from the surrounding residential areas. Other considerations or qualifications are included in a series of statements_concerning what the Sound Measurement Program "can" and "cannot" do and are included in a statement included with this Agreement as ATTACHMENT C. This Agreement of Understanding is entered into this of April, 2009 between the Airport and the City of South Burlington as follows: Burlington International Airport City of So. Burlington Brian R.

It can provide an apples to apples comparison of sound • If measurements are taken 100 feet in front of the 65 dnI line, on the dnI line, and 100 feet behind the dnl line on a given day, the relationship between those numbers can be analyzed against readings at those same three locations on another day 2. It can measure the sound dampening effects of different materials • By doing side-by-side comparisons at the same time (eg, one set of measurements with a house in front of the 65 dnl line, and one without a house), the program can gauge what effect the presence of a structure has. • This same methodology can test the effectiveness of the Living Wall, as compared with no structures, and compared with a house 3. It can set a standard for the neighborhood • This standard could not be an absolute number, but could be a relative number (eg, if sound was measured at 70 db 100 feet in front of the "65 dnl" line, and 64 db on the line itself, the City and Airport could agree that future noise shall remain at least 8% lower on the "65 dnl" line than 100 feet in front of it. 4. It can be repeated more than once this summer, or into the future • With a GPS of each measurement point, the tests can be repeated What the Sound Measurement program CAN'T do: 1. It can't compare directly to the calculated DNL line. • The DNL line assumes all buildings have been removed (worst case scenario) • The DNL line is measured over a weighted 24 hr average • Daily and weekly fluctuations in actual airport or military activity aren't included in the model ATTACHMENT C 2. It can't change the location of the 65 DNL line, regardless of findings • The DNL analysis is the accepted methodology by the Federal Aviation Authority, as part of a multi-stepped analysis process 3. It can't guarantee an absolute maximum (or maximum daily average) in sound levels • There are simply too many variables to be accounted for, such as an unusual flight pattern, unusual wind shifts, or non-airport noise such as fire trucks, barking dogs, etc. 4. It can't be completed at every single point along the calculated 65 dnI line • As a result, not every single variable can be accounted for (eg, two neighboring, one story single family homes may have different insulation thicknesses, which could affect how much sound goes through the structure) 5. It can't measure the psychological effects of visual barriers to sound • It has been documented that sound sources that cannot be seen are considered less bothersome to people than sound sources that can be seen. This cannot be evaluated by a sound measurement system, but is an important consideration as homes are removed and as something like the Living Wall is built. • fIJ kill • Source Emissions Testing ■ Source Permitting ■ Ambient Air Sampling NEW ENGLAND *^^� • Fugitive Emissions Measurement `' • ▪ Indoor Air Sampling and Analysis p 9 Y AIR QUALITY TESTING • Consulting/Engineering Services April 15, 2009 Robert McEwing Director, Planning & Development Burlington International Airport 1200 Airport Drive#1 So. Burlington, VT 05403 RE: Noise Monitoring Work Plan Dear Mr. McEwing: Enclosed please find New England Air Quality Testing's (NEAQT) proposed noise monitoring work plan for the Burlington International Airport (Airport) located in South Burlington, Vermont. The noise monitoring program is being instituted to demonstrate compliance with the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) dated April 2008. The Airport's noise monitoring program will evaluate the Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) produced for the NCP in delineating the established 65 decibel (dB) Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL). The Airport is proposing to construct a "living wall" along the 65 DNL as a noise attenuating and aesthetic barrier between the Airport property and the adjoining residential neighborhood. The Airport, through this program is providing assistance to better establish true neighborhood boundaries for the properties bordering the 65 DNL. The noise monitoring program is also being conducted in the response to the concerns of some local residents outside the DNL. Based on the data collected through this noise monitoring program, the Airport will be provided better data for determining potential future residential property acquisition. The monitoring program through the NCP is also to provide support for the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program. The noise program will also establish "baseline" measurements that can assess the relative impacts of the removal of homes and other structures and the noise attenuation offered by mitigation techniques such as the "living wall." Environmental Noise Noise is a very complex physical property and is defined as unwanted sound of any kind that is loud, indistinct, or disagreeable in nature. These types of sounds are often associated with roadway traffic, aircraft, construction activities, lawn care, and other noise sources. This investigation will focus on the noise levels generated by the Airport activities along with ambient noise produced by everyday activities associated to a residential city neighborhood. Sound is generated by changes in air pressure at a range of frequencies. All sounds come from energy produced by any sound source transmitted through the air in sound waves, which are oscillations of pressure just above and below atmospheric pressure. The oscillations or sound pressures impacting the ear create the sound we hear. Sound levels detected by human hearing are defined in the decibel P.O. Box 4503,Burlington,Vermont 05406-4503 (802)658-5428 Noise Monitoring Work Plan -2 Burlington International Airport South Burlington,Vermont (dB) scale with 0 dB being the minimum sound threshold and 120 dB is the sound level causing pain and ear damage. The frequency level of sound is defined as the rate of repetition of the sound pressure oscillations as they reach an ear. Frequency is expressed in unit terms of Hertz (Hz). The human ear can detect sound frequencies from 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz, although most people hear from approximately 20 Hz to approximately 15,000 Hz. The predominant normal frequency range for hearing is 500 Hz to 10,000 Hz and is referred to as the "A" weighted scale and is frequently used in environmental noise analysis. The "A" weighting de-emphasizes noise at the low and high frequencies where most people do not hear as well. Decibel levels measured on the "A" weighted sound level scale are referenced as dBA. Noise monitoring which includes the low and high frequencies deemphasized by A-weighted monitoring are captured through octave-band monitoring (C-weighted). The individual frequencies bands can be monitored through 1/1 or 1/3 octave band monitoring. The low frequencies (below 500 Hz) are responsible for effects such as building shaking, window rattling or perceptible vibrations. Noise Monitoring Investigation Noise monitoring as part of this investigation will be conducted in two general areas; • Along Airport Drive at the location of the Living Wall Demonstration Project (see attached figure). • Along Airport Drive and White Street in the residential area inside and outside the 65 DNL (see attached figure). The noise monitoring will be conducted using Quest Technologies SoundPro DL Type II integrating/datalogging sound level meters (or equivalent) equipped with external microphones and windscreens. The sound level meter will be configured to log average sound pressure measurements every 1 second (Leq(1-sec)). The sound level meters used for the noise monitoring at the Living Wall Demonstration Project will also be equipped with 1/3 octave-band filters in order to effectively monitor the low frequency sound levels produced by the Airport and surrounding community noise generating sources. The 1/3 octave-band monitoring is being conducted for the Living Wall Demonstration Project at the request of a concerned neighbor to low frequency noise levels. The noise monitoring in residential area along Airport Drive and White Street will be conducted using A-weighted monitoring. Environmental noise monitoring in general is conducted using A-weighted noise monitoring, a practice used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and most other federal and state agencies dealing with community noise concerns. The noise monitoring for both locations will be conducted in accordance with the procedures detailed in ANSI Standard S12.18-1994, Procedures for Outdoor Measurement of Sound Pressure Level, Method 1 — General Measurements. The standard specifies the monitoring protocol for collecting sound levels measurements. The protocol defines Method 1 — general routine measurements to be conducted under the following circumstances; • No sound level measurement will be collected with the wind velocity exceeding 11 mph when measured at approximately 6 feet above the ground. • No measurements shall be made during measurable precipitation or freezing rain. • No sound level measurement shall be made at distances of greater than 100 feet from the sound generating source on a sunny day with little or no cloud cover and the wind is less than 2 mph. P.O.Box 4503,Burlington,Vermont 05406-4503 (802)658-5428 Noise Monitoring Work Plan -3 - Burlington International Airport South Burlington,Vermont The Living Wall Demonstration Project noise monitoring will be conducted before and after the demonstration section of the Living Wall is constructed. The preconstruction noise monitoring will be used to evaluate current site conditions and to provide a baseline noise level in determining the effectiveness of noise attenuation provided by the Living Wall. A post-construction Living Wall noise monitoring will be conducted for evaluating the noise level attenuation factor of the Living Wall. The sound level meters will be deployed at approximately 13 locations (see attached figure). The monitoring locations were chosen to evaluate several factors; • The noise attenuating level provided by the existing homes. • The noise attenuating factor of the living wall, and • The resulting impact living wall will have after construction on the residential neighborhood behind the wall. The residential noise monitoring in the area along Airport Drive and White Street will conducted at the 12 proposed monitoring locations shown on the attached figured. The locations were selected inside and outside the 65 DNL line. The monitoring locations will be used to measure current site conditions prior to additional residence acquisition to provide baseline information. All sound level meters will have annual factory calibration prior to deployment to the monitoring location. Field calibration of each meter will conducted prior to initiating monitoring and a post- monitoring calibration check will be conducted at the end of each monitoring event. All monitoring events will be conducted over an 8-hour daytime period during normal weekday operations at the Airport. . The monitoring events will be conducted during favorable weather conditions and will be chosen using National Weather Service forecasts. Each sound level meter will mounted on a tripod at approximately 6 feet above the ground surface with the microphones directed towards the Airport operations. NEAQT staff will be onsite during the monitoring event to observe vehicular traffic through the monitoring area and to observe all non-Airport noise generating activities. The vehicular traffic and non-Airport noise generating activities will be noted by NEAQT staff in field logbooks indicating the time and location of each event. In addition, monitoring of aircraft takeoff and landing will be monitored either by visual observation or by acquiring airport control flight logs. P All noise data collected from each sound level meter will be downloaded following each monitoring event onto the NEAQT computer network for data storage and data evaluation. NEAQT anticipates that this initial monitoring will be conducted during at least three individual events. Coordination with Airport personnel will be necessary to ensure normal operations will be conducted during monitoring events. I will follow up with a call to answer any questions that you may have regarding the details of this proposed work plan. Best regards, David M.

Ellis, Esq. McNeil, Leddy & Sheahan, P.C. 271 South Union Street Burlington, VT 05401 Re : Burlington International Airport Property Dear Bill : The City Assessor will in the next few weeks review the Burlington International Airport ( "BIA" ) property to determine its assessed value for the FY 2010 Grand List . The FY 2009 South Burlington Grand List for City of Burlington BIA property consists of three key components . These are described below in no particular order of importance. The first component includes buildings owned by BIA that are, in most cases, leased to separate entities for private commercial use . The Grand List value of this component is 12 , 115, 800 . ("Commercial Use Property" ) The second component includes lots acquired by BIA in the vicinity of the airport . Most of these lots were used for residential purposes when acquired. The residences have been or are planned for removal . The Grand List value of this component is $9, 905, 800 . ( "Expansion Property" ) The third component consists of the land and improvements, including the main terminal building, devoted principally to the conduct of "airport" operations . The Grand List value of this component is $19 , 305, 600 . ("Airport Property") The total value of all three components is $41, 327 , 200 . William F. Ellis, Esq. April 13 , 2009 Page 2 As you are aware, since at least the early 1980s, BIA and the City of South Burlington have had periodic discussions and disagreements regarding the proper valuation of BIA property for property tax purposes . Both parties have acted in good faith representing their particular interests while recognizing and respecting those of the other party. An issue common to all such dealings has been the proper application of 32 V. S.A §3269, which provides : Land and buildings of a municipal corporation, whether acquired by purchase or condemnation and situated outside of its territorial limits shall be taxed by the municipality in which such land is situated. Said land shall be set to such municipal corporation in the grand list of the town or city in which such real estate is located at the value fixed in the appraisal next preceding the date of acquisition of such property and taxed on such valuation. The value fixed on such property at each appraisal thereafter shall be the same per acre as the value fixed on similar property in the town or city. Improvements made subsequent to the acquisition of the land shall not be taxed; except that an additional tax not to exceed 75 percent of the appraisal of the land may be levied in lieu of a personal property tax. With this as background, the South Burlington City Council , working together with the City Assessor, has developed a proposed methodology for determining the value of BIA property for the FY 2010 Grand List . Commercial Use Property: South Burlington has and will continue to value this property in substantially the same manner that it values other similar commercial property in the City. Expansion Property: South Burlington has valued these properties as residential lots, with or without improvements . For FY 2010, the City will continue to value lots on which houses remain as residential properties . Any lot from which the house was removed prior to April 1, 2007 will be valued as a vacant residential lot . Any lot from which the house was removed on or after April 1, 2007 and before April 1 , 2009 will also be valued as a vacant residential lot . However, the value attributed to the building previously located on the lot will be transferred to the Airport Property. This is being done to reflect added value to the Airport Property brought about by a reduction in residents in close proximity to BIA. William F. Ellis, Esq. April 13, 2009 Page 3 Airport Property: Valuation of this property has been the most problematic . The current value, $19, 305, 600, represents, in no small part, a compromise between South Burlington and Burlington to establish without litigation an appropriate value given the property' s uniqueness. As already noted above, this value will be increased this year by the addition of values attributed to residential structures removed from the Expansion Property over the past two years. The Council and Assessor believe that further adjustment is needed to address on-going expansion, improvement and air travel activities, all of which enhance the Airport' s value. The Assessor will use his best efforts to determine an appropriate increase . At the same time, the Council recognizes that the City of Burlington has in the past disputed the appropriateness of any increase in value based on such factors . In the hope of avoiding conflict on this issue, the Council agrees to limit any increase proposed by the Assessor attributable to such factors to a value that yields no more than $7000 in property taxes . As has been understood in the past, this proposal by South Burlington, and any acceptance of this proposal by Burlington, may not be used by Burlington or South Burlington in any proceeding now or in the future involving a dispute between the parties concerning valuation of BIA property.

I've attached a copy of the PowerPoint presentation from that night. In brief, though: • The City has regulated signs for more than 35 years. • In June 2002, the Council adopted substantial changes to the Ordinance. Among the changes were improved standards for sizes, heights and numbers of signs on a property. • The 2002 Ordinance included a sunset provision for all non-conforming signs. It states that all signs must comply with the 2002 standards by June 3, 2009. The seven- year window allowed for an amortization of the value of existing signs. • In October 2008, staff provided an overview of the Ordinance and a summary of types of non-conforming signs that would have to be moved or replaced by June 2009. There are essentially four ways in which signs (especially`stand-alone' one) can be non-conforming: o Too tall (eg, Staples, Sheraton, and some others) o Too large (eg, Holiday Inn on Williston Road, Staples, Sheraton) o Too close to the road (eg, Kmart) o Too many sign structures on a single property (eg, Moe's area) • In December 2008, staff sent letters to all commercial property owners in the City informing them of the June 2009 deadline and encouraging them to contact staff with questions. 1 • Also in December 2008, staff sent personalized letters to the 4-5 property owners with the most clearly non-conforming signs, reminding them of the June 2009 deadline. What we've learned since October Not surprisingly, as we've communicated with sign companies and property owners, we've uncovered a number of challenges. They include: 1. There are likely a quite a number of free-standing signs that are closer than the minimum 5 feet from the City right-of-way- especially along Williston Road — and some that may even be partially on City property; 2. The Ordinance requires signs to be no larger than 4 sq. feet in residential areas if the speed limit is less than 25 mph. (Those signs can be 20 sq. feet where speed limit is greater than 25 mph). Existing businesses in those areas are nervous that they will need to change their signs to be so small they can't be seen; and, 3. We have a few buildings with overhanging roofs on them, with the signs above. While wall signs aren't permitted on rooftops, there are few good alternatives (eg, Post Office on Shelburne Road). What heard since October Also not surprisingly, we've received some calls about whether any changes to the Ordinance are anticipated. In particular, three questions have come up: 1. Requests to have the June 2009 deadline put off for a year or two; 2. Requests to have the ordinance amended to "grandfather" some types of signs; 3. Calls asking whether the Ordinance will be changing, because while they are willing to spend the money to change their signs, they don't want to do it and then discover a few weeks later that the Ordinance is being changed and that they just wasted their money. What we have seen happening since October Shortly after the letter went out, we received a flurry of calls from land owners and sign companies. We have had some follow-up since then, but relatively few applications to change signs. Next steps Back in October, we stated that staff would not risk liability to be out measuring the height or size of signs by climbing ladders, etc. That remains our recommendation. 2 v , It has been the'-City's intent to follow up with property owners whose signs are very clearly non-conforming. And while the deadline is June, staff is willing to work with property owners who are making progress. What issues might we face? It is inevitable that staff— and perhaps the Council - will continue to get requests to change the rules or hold off on enforcement for signs that are "just a little" too big, close to the road, or tall. What options does the Council have? The Council has several options: o Proceed as is, actively working with and perhaps initiating enforcement of upon property owners with obviously non-conforming signs and addressing other individual signs on a case-by-case basis; o Issue a stay of enforcement upon some or all enforcement of non-conformities for a set period of time; o Amend the Ordinance to address public concerns. Staff Recommendation Staff continues to recommend that the Ordinance be kept as is. Fundamentally, there is a fairness issue for those who have been following the sign ordinance. 3 , .t‘'..k.t.--,,t.•.<.-k.- - ,al...k4„..4.., 4 .1,-41,4 ,,,' , - .4::1„va, 4 \• '.4'...%- • • H - ..0 „,,,‘„4 -.2...• v••:,!!, 1 M tritOkif! • * P"4 ., _ - flp.:441 r.r l';;`• - 21 -,•1..,,,••, i ,.

Hatter, City Manager April 17, 2009 Chair and City Council South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Consideration of 2008-2009 Tax Penalty waivers and Business Personal Property tax delinquencies To All Members: Please consider two property tax related items: • Review of Waiver List for Penalties for late payment of tax installment in 2008- 2009: The Charter authorizes the City Manager to waive the 8% penalty for late payment of property taxes for"circumstances beyond the control of the tax payer". The City Manager's decision is final in this matter. The Charter also requires that I present a copy of the annual waiver list to City Council. No action is required on your part. The total amount waived of$2,639.90, and the number of waivers granted (25) represents a small fraction of the requests I receive. • Business Personal Property Tax write-off: As the attached memo from Martha Lyons explains, the City began reducing the business personal property tax (also known as Machinery and Equipment Tax) in 1996-97 and finally phased it all out in 2000-2001. This was done upon the vote of the public in 1995. The inventory tax was eliminated in the early 1990's. At this time we want to clean up our books. The attached list is uncollectible accounts due to failure to locate the business or lack of documentation. Please approve the write-off of these accounts.

I would like authorization to write off the delinquencies. The City of South Burlington decided to phase out the business personal property tax over a five (5) year period. Beginning with the 1996-1997 tax year the City no longer accepted business personal property tax returns adding new equipment to the tax rolls. The City reduced the business personal property tax by twenty percent(20%) each tax year. The last tax year that business personal property taxes were sent out was the 2000- 2001 tax year. Since the 1996-1997 tax year was the last year that the City accepted business personal property tax information, I am not able to inform business owners what equipment I am attempting to collect the tax on. By not having a specific list of equipment for each business I am not able to file a UCC lien to attempt to collect the delinquent business personal property tax. , 16„ 04/06/2009 City of South

Mr. Searles said there is, and the city also shares information on noise complaints with the Airport. Mr. Murray asked if there is any follow-up. Mr. Searles said they look into a"middle of the night"noise complaint immediately and make it stop. Mr. Boucher said the question for the Council is whether the plan protects the neighborhood. He also asked whether the city can invoke "technical review" and hire its own sound engineer to review the test results. Mr. Knapp said his concern was with sampling, and he wanted someone to tell the city the right sampling and frequency that are being used. Other members agreed. Mr. Suono noted that sound varies tremendously based on wind direction/velocity. He said he walked on Myers Court the other day and noticed a tremendous difference in noise between homes, and this was not in the 65 dbl area. Mr. Boucher said he would like to approve this subject to an independent measurement for frequency/duration and to review data. Mr. Plumeau said that this should be done by a firm that specializes in airport noise measurement. Mr. Knapp moved to approve the noise plan subject to an independent measurement for frequency and duration and to review data. Mr. Murray seconded. Mr. Murray said he was reluctant to spend a lot of money just to wind up back in the same place. Ms. Emery said she wanted to see something more than a picture of a living wall. She wanted numbers related to effectiveness. Mr. Murray said a living wall may be the least intrusive alternative for the community. Mr. Boucher said he wants to see enough data so an expert would say it is valid, sufficient, and dependable data. Mr. Searles said he would be happy to work with someone representing the city. The vote on the motion was 3-1 with Mr. Murray opposing. Mr. Hailer then updated members and the public on the Airport tax issue. The question has arisen as to what happens to the value of a house when it is torn down. Traditionally, the city would then appraise only the land. However, in this case, the city has negotiated an agreement with the Airport where it will go back 2 years and pick up the value of homes the Airport tore down and add that value to how the Airport is taxed. The agreement is as follows: 1. Commercial Airport property(property lease out by the Airport): $12,115,000 CITY COUNCIL 20 APRIL 2009 PAGE 4 value. 2. Homes the Airport has acquired: $9,905,000 value 3. Airport property itself: $19,300,000 value. Total value: $41,327,000.,resulting in $728,985 in taxes. When the Airport acquires any home, the value of that home will be added to category#3. The City also has a services agreement with the Airport under which the Airport pays $160,000 for storm water and $98,000 for other services. This results in a total payment to the City by the Airport of just under$1,000,000. Mr. Knapp moved to approve the tax agreement as evidenced by Steve Stitzel's memo and the acceptance e-mail from the Airport. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Presentation from Rec Path Committee; Proposal for Minor Changes to Charge and Parks Use Ordinance: The Committee requested an addition to their mission statement to add the words: "...shared used paths, on-road facilities, hiking..." Ms. Emery moved to approve the above language to be added to the Rec Path Committee mission statement. Mr. Knapp seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The Committee also requested a change to the Rec Path rules which currently prohibits skateboards and horses from the paths and also eliminating rule#6 which covered by#5. Mr. Hafter said he saw no harm in being redundant. He recommended keeping the prohibition against horses as they could do a lot of damage. Committee members stressed that behavior is the key rather than regulation of classes of people. r� The Committee will come back with revised wording. 5�" .kk Mr. Hubbard noted that on the west side of Spear St. there is a 6-foot rec path which is used by hundreds of people a day. There is no lane on the east side for cyclists to use on their way back. Mr. Hubbard also noted that the Spear St. corridor study recommended Page 1 of 1 Denis Gravelin From: Charles Hafter[chafter@sburl.com] Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 3:11 PM To: Mark Boucher Cc: Meaghan Emery; Sandy Dooley; Frank Murray; James Knapp; Denis Gravelin Subject: analysis of airport agreement I have run some calculations on the tax bill the airport will receive for FY 2009-2010 under the terms of the agreement you will be asked to review tonight.

For 2009-2010 this will yield $160,000 for the storm water utility bill and $98,159 for other services (fire and rescue, backup police, etc.) for a total of$258,159. Combined with the tax bill above, the City will receive $987,144 from the BIA. Chuck 4/20/2009 • STITZEL, PAGE & FLETCHER, P.C.

Union Street Burlington, VT 05401-4513 Re: City of Burlington / City of South Burlington - Airport Taxes and Services Dear Joe: On August 13, 2008, Chuck Hafter, Denis Gravelin and I met with Brian Searles and Brad Worthen to discuss the service and tax issues pending between the City and the Airport . I am writing to summarize the substance of those discussions, the understandings reached and the matters yet unresolved. Property Taxes I explained in a May 20, 2008 letter to you that the tax stabilization agreement for the Airport expired on June 30, 2005 . Pending completion of a City-wide reappraisal, South Burlington placed the airport property (see Schedule A attached) in the City' s FY 06 grand list at a value of $11, 022, 000 . Based on this assessed value, the Airport paid taxes totaling $307, 000 for FY 06. Upon completion of the City-wide reappraisal, the airport property was erroneously placed in the City' s FY 07 grand list at a value of $16, 500, 000 . The correct value was $18, 269, 600 . As a result of this undervaluation, the Airport paid property taxes of $282, 585. 50. Had the correct value been used, the Airport would have paid taxes of $314, 000 . As you are aware, the Airport is a unique property in terms of its actual use, its status under 32 V.S.A. §3659 and its relatively constant state of being improved. For this reason, South Burlington and the Airport have acknowledged that it is appropriate that the airport property be reappraised on an annual Joseph E. McNeil, Esq. October 3, 2008 Page 2 of 3 basis. To accomplish this for FY 08, the City intended to increase the value by approximately 4 .4%, to $19, 076, 500 . Through over sight, the City failed to do this. Consequently, the Airport paid taxes of $277, 645. 00 for FY 08 instead of $321, 000, the amount due on the correct value. 1 Earlier this year, the City reappraised the airport property and increased the value to $19, 305, 600, an increase of approximately 1.2%. (Copy of change of appraisal notice attached) . Based on this, the Airport will pay taxes totaling $328, 909 . 51 for the current tax year. The City intends to continue with the practice of annual reappraisal described above. The City asks that the Airport acknowledge its obligation to pay additional taxes totaling $31,414 . 50 for FY 07 and $43, 355 . 00 for FY 08 . The City is willing to negotiate terms for payment of these taxes. In addition to the above-discussed property, the Airport owns additional property in the City which the Airport has agreed may be separately taxed. This property is listed on Schedule B, attached. Based on the data management software used by the City, it is not able to issue a single tax bill to the Airport for these properties. However, the Airport may pay quarterly installments by returning the tax stubs for each properly along with a single check covering all properties. City Services Provided the Airport For FY 2006, the Airport agreed to pay the City $25, 000 for glycol disposal and $160, 000 for storm water management . These charges were included in the Airport' s wastewater bills and were paid. Fees for other services, totaling $65, 000, were billed separately and were paid. For FY 2007, the Airport was again billed $25, 000 for glycol disposal and $160, 000 for storm water management, which amounts have been paid. The fee for other services was adjusted by a COLA increase from $65, 000 to $68, 250. The Airport has paid $65, 000 but still owes $3250. For FY 2008, the Airport was again billed $160, 000 for storm water management, which amount has been paid. Recognizing that the procedures for glycol disposal had changed, the City proposed in May of this year that the $25, 000 fee be billed along with other services and be subject to an annual COLA adjustment in future years. Based on a COLA adjustment of the FY 07 fee for other services and the addition of the $25, 000 glycol fee, the City asks that the Airport pay $95, 300 for FY 2008 . None of this Joseph E. McNeil, Esq. October 3, 2008 Page 3 of 3 amount has been paid. The City asks that the Airport acknowledge its obligation to pay the unpaid fees totaling $3 , 250 . 00 for FY 07 and $95, 300 . 00 for FY 08 . The City is willing to negotiate terms for payment of these fees . For FY 09, the Airport has again been billed $160 , 000 for storm water management . The City proposes that the FY 08 fee for other services totaling $95, 300 be increased by a COLA of 3% . This amount will then be billed in 2 installments . Please review the issues addressed in this letter with Brian. Hopefully, we can then have a further meeting at which we resolve the outstanding matters. S incere iy, Steven F. St4.0l cc : Charles E.

McNeil , Leddy & Sheahan, P. C. 271 South Union Street Burlington, VT 05401 Re : Burlington International Airport Property Dear Bill : The City Assessor will in the next few weeks review the Burlington International Airport ("BIA" ) property to determine its assessed value for the FY 2010 Grand List . The FY 2009 South Burlington Grand List for City of Burlington BIA property consists of three key components . These are described below in no particular order of importance . The first component includes buildings owned by BIA that are, in most cases, leased to separate entities for private commercial use . The Grand List value of this component is 12 , 115, 800 . ("Commercial Use Property" ) The second component includes lots acquired by BIA in the vicinity of the airport . Most of these lots were used for residential purposes when acquired. The residences have been or are planned for removal . The Grand List value of this component is $9, 905, 800 . ( "Expansion Property" ) The third component consists of the land and improvements, including the main terminal building, devoted principally to the conduct of "airport" operations . The Grand List value of this component is $19, 305, 600 . ("Airport Property" ) The total value of all three components is $41, 327, 200 . William F. Ellis, Esq. April 13 , 2009 Page 2 As you are aware, since at least the early 1980s, BIA and the City of South Burlington have had periodic discussions and disagreements regarding the proper valuation of BIA property for property tax purposes . Both parties have acted in good faith representing their particular interests while recognizing and respecting those of the other party. An issue common to all such dealings has been the proper application of 32 V. S .A §3269, which provides : Land and buildings of a municipal corporation, whether acquired by purchase or condemnation and situated outside of its territorial limits shall be taxed by the municipality in which such land is situated. Said land shall be set to such municipal corporation in the grand list of the town or city in which such real estate is located at the value fixed in the appraisal next preceding the date of acquisition of such property and taxed on such valuation. The value fixed on such property at each appraisal thereafter shall be the same per acre as the value fixed on similar property in the town or city. Improvements made subsequent to the acquisition of the land shall not be taxed; except that an additional tax not to exceed 75 percent of the appraisal of the land may be levied in lieu of a personal property tax. With this as background, the South Burlington City Council , working together with the City Assessor, has developed a proposed methodology for determining the value of BIA property for the FY 2010 Grand List . Commercial Use Property: South Burlington has and will continue to value this property in substantially the same manner that it values other similar commercial property in the City. Expansion Property: South Burlington has valued these properties as residential lots, with or without improvements . For FY 2010, the City will continue to value lots on which houses remain as residential properties . Any lot from which the house was removed prior to April 1, 2007 will be valued as a vacant residential lot . Any lot from which the house was removed on or after April 1, 2007 and before April 1, 2009 will also be valued as a vacant residential lot . However, the value attributed to the building previously located on the lot will be transferred to the Airport Property. This is being done to reflect added value to the Airport Property brought about by a reduction in residents in close proximity to BIA. V l.� V William F. Ellis, Esq. April 13 , 2009 Page 3 Airport Property: Valuation of this property has been the most problematic . The current value, $19, 305, 600, represents, in no small part, a compromise between South Burlington and Burlington to establish without litigation an appropriate value given the property' s uniqueness . As already noted above, this value will be increased this year by the addition of values attributed to residential structures removed from the Expansion Property over the past two years . The Council and Assessor believe that further adjustment is needed to address on-going expansion, improvement and air travel activities, all of which enhance the Airport' s value . The Assessor will use his best efforts to determine an appropriate increase . At the same time, the Council recognizes that the City of Burlington has in the past disputed the appropriateness of any increase in value based on such factors . In the hope of avoiding conflict on this issue, the Council agrees to limit any increase proposed by the Assessor attributable to such factors to a value that yields no more than $7000 in property taxes . As has been understood in the past, this proposal by South Burlington, and any acceptance of this proposal by Burlington, may not be used by Burlington or South Burlington in any proceeding now or in the future involving a dispute between the parties concerning valuation of BIA property. With this understanding, please let me know if this proposal is acceptable to the City of Burlington. Sincerely, Steven F.
