Thanks. Sanford "Sandy" Miller Original Message From: William A. McLaughlin [mailto:wamclaugh@comcast.net] Sent: Wed 10/20/2010 10:08 AM To: Justin Rabidoux Cc: Sandy Miller Subject: Re: campaign signs Re: campaign signsl consider your response arrogant and immature and look forward to filing a complaint against your lack of ethics and indifference to residents complaints. W.A. McLaughlin Original Message From: Justin Rabidoux To: William A. McLaughlin Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 9:15 AM Subject: RE: campaign signs Mr. McLaughlin, I just visited the referenced locations again and remain of the opinion that the signs do not present a safety hazard to the general public. I believe I have communicated our policy and enforcement of it clearly to you and as of this email I consider this specific issue closed. I'm sorry you feel our actions are for political persuasions, but rest assured that is not the case. South Burlington is full of signs for all political parties and to infer bias based on a specific location is wholly inaccurate. However, if new concerns emerge, please contact me. Regards, Justin Rabidoux 1 From: William A. McLaughlin [mailto:wamclaugh@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 7:53 AM To: Justin Rabidoux Subject: Re: campaign signs 30 is not a few, I told you where they are and they are visible fromthey rown offices. It is obvious to me you are refusing to comply with your own policies and are taking sides in a political race. This is an ethical violation as well as a safety issue. I expect thier immediate removal or I will report the problem to the appropriate offiicials. W.A. McLaughlin Original Message From: Justin Rabidoux To: William A. McLaughlin Cc: Sandy Miller Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 7:00 AM Subject: RE: campaign signs Good Morning Mr. McLaughlin, We have a big city and lots of signs have been put up by all the candidates for state and federal offices. We remove the signs that we're notified of and the ones we pick up during our weekly sweep. Obviously a few will slip by our efforts and/or go up over the weekend after we've been around the City. As to signs within the Federal or State highway right-of- ways, the City has no jurisdiction in those areas. The mere presence of a sign does not constitute a safety hazard as you imply, as I previously stated we will remove signs that inhibit driver visibility immediately upon notification. That being said, if you have a specific area that you feel driver visibility is impacted, please let me know and we will investigate. Thank you for your continued attention to safety matters here in South Burlington. Regards, Justin Rabidoux 2 From: William A. McLaughlin [mailto:wamclaugh@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 7:58 PM To: Justin Rabidoux Cc: Sandy Miller Subject: Re: campaign signs Dear Mr. Rabidoux, The signs have been up for more then a week. I filed my complaint before the two week period. Appearently you selectively enforce your policy. One of the signs is on the access right of way to a Federal Interstate, I189 and therefor violates the interstate signage laws.During the time the other signs have been up you have ignored So. Burlington Town Policies. .If the signs are not removed within 24 hrs. I intend to file a complaints with the State Attorney General and the Secretary of Stayte's Office. There is no excuse for living an obvious safety hazzard and using town right of ways for your political agenda. Thank you, W.A. McLaughlin Original Message From: Justin Rabidoux To: William A. McLaughlin Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 5:05 PM Subject: RE: campaign signs Mr. McLaughlin, The locations you mentioned do not result in poor sight distances for drivers on or accessing the referenced roads. If a sign or cluster of signs was inhibiting driver visibility we would remove them immediately upon notification. Regards, Justin Rabidoux 3 From: William A. McLaughlin [mailto:wamclaugh@comcast.net] Sent: Tue 10/19/2010 4:41 PM To: Justin Rabidoux Subject: Re: campaign signs I son't know what you consider a hazzard but the large number of signs and the overwhelming nature of them is a distraction. If a accident occurs on that intersection I will be sure to notify those injured that I alerted the city to the problem and forward all correspondence. One sign per candidate per corner should be sufficient. Thank You WA McLaughlin Original Message From: "Justin Rabidoux" <jrabidoux@sburl.com> To: "Sandy Miller" <smiller@sburl.com>; "donna" <dkinville@sburl.com>; "ray" <rbelair@sburl.com> Cc: <wamclaugh@comcast.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 1:42 PM Subject: RE: campaign signs Mr. McLaughlin, The City has a policy governing signs within the municipal road right-of-way. It allows for political signs in the two weeks leading up to an election, which is where we are as of today. Last Friday my department did a sweep of the city and removed a truck full of them, but anything going forward is allowable, as long as they don't cause a safety hazard. Thank you for your concern and please feel free to contact me directly at 658-7961 if you wish to discuss this matter further. Regards, Justin Rabidoux, Director of Public Works Original Message From: Sandy Miller Sent: Mon 10/18/2010 6:35 PM To: William A. McLaughlin Subject: RE: campaign signs Mr. McLaughlin, I am at a conference but will refer your inquiry to the proper staff 4 person for handling. I will consult with the City Clerk about what is permitted and what is not permitted and we will work to remove the signs which should not be there. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Sanford "Sandy" Miller Original Message From: William A. McLaughlin [mailto:wamclaugh@comcast.net] Sent: Mon 10/18/2010 6:09 PM To: Sandy Miller Subject: campaign signs I am concerned about all the political signs on the median strip on Dorset Street, Kennedy Drive and the entrance to I189. The large number of sign crrrrr ib the right of way are illegal and distracting to drivers/ Why hasn't So. Burlington removed them especially those in front of the Town offices. 5 RHR Smith References: 1. Serena Williams,Town Manager, Fair Haven,VT: 802-265-3010 ext. 5—Friday,Oct. 8 SW started as an accountant. Angolano edited books one day. Had a problem with Angolano . Wen t out to bid. Selectboard and staff amazed with Smith in a positive way; Smith is thorough. Other auditor never came to board meetings. Smith will meet with the board, discovered a lot of things weren't disclosed. Very pleased. First year as auditor. Accessibility no problem. E-mail or call and he gets back right away, especially compared to others who never returned calls. Has been excellent. Smith will not gloss over issues or concerns; he informs the board, is thorough and will discuss things which aren't right. Ms.Williams has no concerns with Smith. He took longer to audit than he indicated (and the Town didn't have to pay more for the additional more work beyond what they anticipated). Smith's firm return phone calls—Smith or someone else in the firm will get back to them. Fair Haven's General Fund is $1 million and they have water and sewer and other special accounts and grants. Smith used a checklist for disclosures and they provided suggestions on how to change procedures. There were problems with Angolano with peer review and Angolano did not return calls from Serena Williams about what the problems were. RHR Smith had been confused about Angolano's prior audit. Angolano did not provide the work papers. 2. Chris Cole,General Manager, CCTA: 864-2282 ext. 16—Saturday, Oct. 9. Overall, quite satisfied,good team and good interpersonal dynamics. Chris felt the first draft of Smith's reports contained too many errors. Disclosures good, understand transit accounting. Previous firm, Sullivan and Powers,was let go due to failure to understand transit accounting. Smith sent in a strong team, several of whom could lead an audit. Good job on balance. Pleased with audits and working relationship. Recommends Smith. As an aside, was familiar that Smith took over in Fair Haven from Angolano. 3. Steve Magowan (former Councilor and now Vice-Chair of CCTA): 860-4077 ext.411 (left message 10- 12). Thursday, Oct. 14. Spoke to Steve in the context of his being Chair of CCTA's Finance Committee. Very positive—Smith auditor has been clear, direct, not afraid to point out errors. Demanding (but not arrogant). Said some tough things about how the work needed to be approached (finance committee—but staff got the earful earlier). When Steve got my message about what I wanted to talk about he said, "yup, good idea".

We appreciated the opportunity to provide input into the process. We agree that the firm of RHR Smith & Company, Certified Public Accountant's, should be recommended for this work. After interviewing their Managing Partner on two occasions, we feel comfortable that they will supply sufficient resources to perform the audit, and have demonstrated that they understand the needs of the School District. They have a wide experience auditing municipalities and school districts. In addition to this, they provided the low bid of the three firms that submitted proposals. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further, you can contact Agnes at 658-0960 or John at 652-7052. Sincerely, Agnes Clift, School Board Member John K.

Rosanne Greco has elected to decline the offer to serve on the Development Review Board.

Luckily I was able to save the text. Hope you get this. I'm sorry I can't make the meeting tonight (we have Flynn tickets); but here are some quick observations on the agricultural section of the Comp Plan. I think a greater analysis should be included. As the draft stated, our area is the most fertile in the state. We must guard and protect that. Once the fertile land is lost, it would take generations to recover. With the increased emphasis on growing food locally to reduce transportation costs (both economic and environmental), to support local farmers, and to renew our connection with the land and how our food is grown, we have an opportunity (and responsibility) to preserve this great resource. In addition to clean water, healthy food is the most important thing for our physical health. For all those reasons (and more), I think we should spend the time to analyze and develop plans to preserve our agricultural land...not only for SB, but for all the people of Vermont. And, here is the DRB statement you requested. «««««««««««««««« I regretfully decline the position of alternate member of the DRB. I do not think that my talents and experience are a good match for the requirements of a DRB member. I believe I can be more effective by actively participating in the planning processes of the City, including the 1 Comprehensive Plan now being developed. I spent a good part of my career in planning and analytical positions. Therefore, I know my time and efforts would be best used in the areas in which I have some expertise. Thank you for considering me for the DRB position. Rosanne Greco Original Message From: Paul Conner <pconnersburl.com> To: rosanne499(ciaol.com Sent: Tue, Oct 19, 2010 8:34 am Subject: Your phone call Good morning Rosanne, Thank you for your call yesterday. I'm sure it was a difficult decision on your part, but don't worry about the time on our part. You asked us some good questions that are important for us to contemplate regardless, and having the opportunity to interact with residents is always a positive in my book! I do hope you'll decide to remain involved in the community, particularly with your feedback and input on the Comprehensive Plan. I have added you to our weekly distribution list of Planning Commission agendas (as well as DRB agendas). One item of note: In my staff notes to the Planning Commission this week, I have asked the question of whether the Plan should include a greater analysis of the city's agricultural resources. Though you won't be able to attend tonight's meeting, please feel free to share your thoughts on this one way or the other. With regards to the DRB, would you please reply with a brief email stating your decision in writing? I will then pass it along to the City Manager with your regrets.

Thanks. Sanford "Sandy" Miller Original Message From: Paul Conner Sent: Tue 10/19/2010 3:59 PM To: Sandy Miller; JLadd Subject: DRB Alternate Sandy, Janice, Following Rosanne's decision not to join the DRB, I have two recommendations for the consideration of the Council: 1. That if the Council remains interested in the concept of an Alternate, that the Council proceed as planned with the adoption of the Policy for the use of the Alternate, so that there is one in place for the next time one is appointed. 2. That the Council take a second look at the other applicant to the DRB, namely John Floyd, who was not assigned to another committee and who has experience in both design issues and in serving the City (on the sign committee) . 3. That should the Council elect not to appoint an Alternate to the DRB, that they consider approaching John Floyd about serving on the Design Review Committee, which presently only has three members but which may have up to five, I believe. Paul Paul Conner, AICP Director of Planning & Zoning City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 (802) 846-4106 pconnergsburl.com 1 www.sburl.com/planning 2 4,11 `lam south; 3 : PLANNING & ZONING MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council & City Manager FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning&Zoning DATE: October 25, 2010 SUBJECT: Development Review Board Policy for Appointment and Use of Alternates Last month, the City Council appointment to city's first-ever alternate to the Development Review Board(DRBs). The statutory authority to do so has existed ever since DRBs were established under state law in the 1990s, but the city had never made use of it. As a result, the city, to this point, has had no policy for the terms, use, or numbers of alternates. Following last month's appointment, staff has worked with the city attorney, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns,neighboring communities, and the city's DRB to assess various options for the use of an alternate. Last week(October 19th), the DRB approved a draft policy for submission to the City Council for consideration. Because this is the first time such an appointment is being made, and because the authority to make such appointments rests with the Council, staff and the DRB both felt that it would be appropriate for the Council to formally adopt the Policy. For your reference, 24 VSA 4460(c) reads, in part: "...The municipal legislative body may appoint alternates to a board of adjustment or a development review board for a term to be determined by the legislative body. Alternates may be assigned by the legislative body to serve on the board of adjustment or the development review board in situations when one or more members of the board are disqualified or are otherwise unable to serve. Vacancies shall be filled by the legislative body for the unexpired terms and upon the expiration of such terms." Staff consulted on several different alternatives, including having alternates called in only when an absence or a regular member is known in advance, only when a quorum is not being met, or only when a"new" application is before the DRB. For each of these alternatives, staff examined the anticipated results from several perspectives: (a) whether the policy would maximize the numbers of DRB members participating in a given application; (b) whether the policy would likely result in more or less consistent feedback to applicants throughout a multi-meeting process; (c) whether the policy is clear and transparent to the public; (d) whether the policy provides clear direction to staff; and, 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com (e) whether the policy provides a positive experience for the volunteer alternate. Staff did not attempt to evaluate the various alternatives for their effect on the quality of decisions issued by the DRB, as any analysis would have been more speculative than substantive. We believe that this policy maximizes the participation, transparency, simplicity, consistency, and educational value of the alternate position. It does require the Alternate to attend several hearings at which he or she may not ultimately have a vote, but the alternate would still have the opportunity to share insights, ask questions, and discuss the project with the rest of the DRB prior to the close of the hearing. It would also allow a new member to gain some valuable training without the pressure of making appealable decisions at all times. One final note: staff believes this policy would work well if one alternate is appointed by the Council. If the Council were to consider the appointment of more than one alternate at some point in the future, this approach should be re-evaluated. The DRB passed a vote on Tuesday, October 19th, recommending the Council approve the Draft Policy. Staff concurs. 2 South Burlington Development Review Board Procedures for Appointment and Use of an Alternate Member DRAFT: 10-20-2010 Alternate member: I. Purpose The purposes of having an alternate member is to ensure a quorum of participating members for the conduct of public hearings and to maximize the number of memb in attendance at all meetings.

Exit 12B/13 Committee Discussion and Proposed Agenda for 11-17 or 11-18: Sandy D,Frank Paul and I met. Below is a draft meeting agenda. Please note deciding on a firm date will allow us (Paul and I)to make contact with the groups we want to speak with us and secure their attendance. Purpose: The principal purpose of this first meeting is to continue the process of educating the Council, Planning Commission and public on the history of Exit 12B/13 and other alternatives in terms of how they have been investigated over time. Items 3,4 and 5 on the draft agenda for the Special Meeting are designed to solicit questions from the Planning Commission, City Council and public which can be looked into and discussed at a follow-up meeting. It is expected the CCMPO will issue a report summarizing various studies and other reports on these issues which have taken place over the last twenty plus years which we will post on the City's website. Goals: We four discussed three goals. Goal 1: Council should come to a conclusion about which approach it favors and affirm that approach as City policy. Goal 2: Council should take responsibility for the policy—even if multiple alternatives are considered. Goal 3: Council should provide guidance to staff to determine where this issue fits in with the other City goals(set priorities) and determine what level of effort it put into pursuing this issue. [Note: This exercise of setting priorities may well require a special meeting in and of itself to place this item into a larger context which includes other issues].

October 2010, at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall,575 Dorset St. Members Present: M. Boucher, Chair; S. Dooley, M. Emery, J. Knapp, F. Murray Also Present: S. Miller, City Manager; J. Rabidoux, Public Works Director; K. Murphy, P. Plumeau, M.Young, B. Stuono, Rep. M. Kupersmith, E. Simesky, C. Baker, J. Carr, M. Boomhower 1. Comments & Questions from the Audience,not related to agenda items: Mr. Young said he saw an ad for an administrative assistant to the Police Chief. He asked if this is a new hire. Mr. Miller said it is a replacement. 2. Announcements/City Manager's Report: Ms. Dooley: There is no date set for the meeting regarding Exit 12B due to a death in the family of the Director of Planning &Zoning. Mr. Boucher: Noted receipt of an article in the mail from Ted Reihle regarding what New Jersey is doing re: pension issues. Mr. Miller: The new Assistant City Manager, Bob Ruskin, met with some of the staff last week. He will attend the VMERS meeting with Mr. Miller Members of the Auditor Search Committee met last week. They will be interviewing candidates this week. An appointment will be made no later than 1 November. The MPO is no requiring the City Manager's signature on grant applications. The grand opening of the Dog Park will be on 9 October, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The ribbon cutting will be at 11 a.m. 3. Report on Actions Taken, 9/20 & 9/27 City Meetings: Mr. Boucher advised that on 20 September, the Council agreed to file an ethics charge against the former city manager. A letter was sent to ICMA to this effect. A response was received today in which ICMA said it cannot conduct a review because Mr. Hafter resigned from the ICMA before the complaint was filed. He would not be allowed to rejoin ICMA while the complaint is outstanding. However, with Mr. Hafter's agreement, a review can be done. Ms. Emery said she felt it is a normal requirement of a City Manager to inform and CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 2 debrief the City Council regarding funding issues. The Council felt his failure to do so was injurious to city employees and the public trust. The goal is to have the Council receive more information before making decisions. Mr. Simesky said he felt it was disingenuous to put all of this problem onto Mr. Hafter. Mr. Boucher said the Council's goal was to have an independent review of the situation. He added that a"trust was violated." Mr. Boucher also noted that at the same meeting, the Council made appointments to city boards, committees and commissions as follows: Correctional Facility Liaison Committee: Sally Fox Rep. Helen Head William Tentmaker(alternate) Development Review Board: Michael Sirotkin Library Board: Jay Pasackow Susan Rusnak Natural Resources Committee: Marie Ambusk Planning Commission: Ted Riehle Recreation/Leisure Arts Committee: Jennifer Kochman Elizabeth Robitaille Edie Robenstein Recreation Path Committee: Rick Hubbard Lou Bresee Roy Neuer Duncan Adamson Red Rocks Park Committee: Lisa Yankowski Mr. Boucher then noted that at the 27 September Special Session,members discussed VMERS and what the city would do for new employees. The City has applied to join VMERS for some non-union, non-public safety employees. Mr. Miller said that under the current plan, it would cost the city 22.5% for these employees and under VMERS, the cost would be 9.5%. He added that the savings depends on how many employees the city CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 3 can get into the VMERs system. For every$100,000 of pension payroll,the city will save$13,000 this year. It is expected to be even more next year. Mr. Young asked whether older employees can join the VMERS plan. Mr. Miller said it gets complicated to calculate savings for older employees. He said the city first wants to get a foot in the VMERS door and then eventually look at"chunks of employees"for as long as it still makes sense. 4. Appointment of CCMPO Representative: Mr. Murray moved to appoint Ms. Dooley as CCMPO Representative and to review the appointment after 6 months. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Resolution establishing a policy requiring financial firms to present findings to the City Council: Mr. Boucher read the Resolution. He noted that there was previously no requirement for this to happen. Mr. Murray moved to approve the Resolution as presented. Ms. Dooley seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6.Approval of Resolution allowing for the Requisition of Funds for Two Municipal Planning Grants: Mr. Miller noted that the city has to submit the names of the new City Manager and Assistant City Manager so it can draw down money from these grants. Mr. Knapp moved to approve the Resolution as presented. Mr. Murray seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Airport Update: Mr. Miller advised that there was discussion with the Airport regarding the amount of testing in connection with the living wall and with certain homes that will be taken down. There appears to be some mis-communication, and the airport had originally decided to go ahead with 5 days of testing before and after the installation of the wall and the removal of homes. I don't believe that there was written agreement- I don't know if there was a formal agreement. The Airport said they believed they were agreeing to 5 days of testing before and after whereas Councilors and all but one city employee believed they were agreeing to 10 days of testing before and after. After discussion, the Airport agreed CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 4 to increase testing to 10 days before and 10 days after. Mr. Boucher explained that the testing couldn't be done during the summer because the F-16s were not in the area. The city wants to know of any increase in noise to the rest of the neighborhood when homes that the Airport buys are taken down. He added that it doesn't make sense to have a noise mitigation program that increases noise to the rest of the community. Ms. Emery said there are community members who will have questions. She said she needs to know how information will be presented before she gives her blessing. Mr. Murray noted that George Maille is knowledgeable in the field and he would like to get his opinion as well. Mr. Knapp said it would be good to have the consultants present when the report is presented to the City Council. Mr. Plumeau said he was told that once everything is in line, there won't be a piecemeal demolition. Everything the Airport owns will go down at once and that neighbors will be notified. Mr. Young said he was concerned with"random sampling" and the possibility that the F- 16's would be missed in the sampling. He felt there should be a test done during their operation period. Mr. Knapp suggested using"statistically valid"instead of"random." On other Airport concerns, Mr. Plumeau said there is no clue yet regarding Air Tran/Southwest. Mr. Stuono noted that the Planning Commission does no want to look into Exit 14N unless it is in the Airport long-range plan. Mr. Plumeau said it is a concept in the current Master Plan,but it hasn't gone beyond that. There is no funding and no commitment for it. It is part of the overall 12B, 13, 14 consideration. He suggested a presentation of the Airport Master Plan to the City Council. 8. Stormwater Permit Takeover in Stormwater Impaired Watershed at Winding Brook: Mr. Rabidoux said this request is consistent with the funding resolution of the storm water utility. He explained that Winding Brook chose, at their own risk, to make improvements needed to be able to get a permit. They have gotten the permit which justified their expenses. He recommended that the city accept conveyance of this system and noted that the city is currently operating the system. There would be no additional CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 5 cost and no additional liability. It also will not take away resources from other areas of the city. Mr. Murray asked what the benefits are to Winding Brook. Mr. Rabidoux said having the permit allows them to transfer property,refinance mortgages, etc. Mr. Knapp reviewed the history of storm water issues/permits in the state. Mr. Burkett of Winding Brook said the homeowners wanted this, especially since real estate people wouldn't show property because the storm water situation was so complicated. Mr. Boucher said he had 2 questions. First, is there enough clarity of state standards so the city wouldn't be taking on the obligation to bring them to a new standard. Secondly, there is a question of what this would do to staffing. He questioned whether the city is charging enough in fees to support taking over a number of systems. Mr. Rabidoux said it would be a relatively easy exercise to figure out staffing. Mr. Miller said the big issue that will allow the city to accept these systems in the future is the negotiation with the homeowner's associations. Ms. Dooley moved to adopt the resolution as presented subject to final approval between the Homeowner's Association and the city. Ms. Emery seconded. After some discussion,the motion was withdrawn and member agreed to table the request to a future meeting to allow Winding Brook to work with the city staff to come up with an agreement. 9. Discussion of a Potential Merger of the CCMPO and CCRPC: Mr. Miller said the question is whether the City Council is willing to support such a merger. Mr. Barker then reviewed the proposed time-line. Ms. Boomhower said the 2 organizations co-located a few years ago and have consolidated some administrative responsibilities. They have held joint Executive Committee meetings as well. All of these have resulted in cost savings. From a dues perspective, they are prepared to offer"flat dues" for the next 3 years. Benefits of the merger would include integrated land use planning. A full training program would be provided as members come in. Mr. Carr added that things can be done more effectively at the committee level than at the board level. • CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 6 Some ofthe issues yet to be addressed include voting vs. non-voting members, federal vs. state affiliation, etc. Mr. Murray asked if there is any idea of future savings. Ms. Boomhower cited human resources management, audits, combined oversight,possible staff attrition, etc. Mr. Miller asked if is there will be a future request for a formal vote by the municipalities. All 3 representatives said there will. They also said the city would be informed if there are other concerns expressed by other communities. Mr. Rabidoux said the most important thing is to be able to deliver a better product to the municipalities; if there are residual savings benefits, so much the better. Ms. Boomhower and Mr. Baker gave Council members information on activities of both organizations this year. 10. Consideration of Entertainment Permit: Nightmare VT/South Burlington Rotary Club, 10/21, 22,23,28,29 30,Picard Circle: Mr. Miller noted the Fire Marshall's concerns and concerns with parking from other departments. Mr. Murray moved to approve the entertainment permit for Nightmare VT subject to the applicant complying with conditions outlined on p.2 of the Fire Marshall's memo of 29 September 2010, and acknowledgment that the Airport is aware of this event. Mr. Knapp seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 11. Review and Approve Minutes of 20 September 2010: Ms. Dooley provided the exact wording of her motion regarding Exit 12B as follows: To that end, I would move that two Councilors from among Councilor Murray, Councilor Emery and yours truly(since we're the ones in support of this) work through the City Manager with staff to set a date for a meeting and organize a meeting that would be at least the first step in a process to examine this public policy position. Mr. Murray moved to approve the Minutes of 20 September 2010 as amended above. Mr. Knapp seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 12. Sign Disbursement Orders: CITY COUNCIL 4 OCTOBER 2010 PAGE 7 Disbursement Orders were signed. 13. Liquor Control Board: Mr. Murray moved that the Council adjourn and reconvene as Liquor Control Board. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Miller presented a liquor license request for Maplefields, 811 Williston Road, and said that approval should be contingent on a fire inspection of the building when it is constructed. Mr. Murray moved to approve the Liquor License request for Maplefields contingent upon fire inspection of the building when it is constructed. Mr. Knapp seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 14. Executive Session: Ms. Dooley moved that the Board adjourn and reconvene as City Council in executive session to discuss personnel issues, contracts, and potential litigation and to resume regular session only to adjourn. Mr. Murray seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 15. Regular Session: Council returned to regular session. As there was no further business Mr. Knapp moved for Council adjournment. Ms. Dooley seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Council adjourned. Clerk 4, ( ( ( South Burlington Open Space Strategy ( ( * ''''"r • ( " '. • • •• ..,1 ( ( ( Prepared by T. J.

When combined with existing secured or restricted open space, the strategy will ( provide an open space network. The network connectivity will enhance the ecological base for people and wildlife while structuring existing and future land development.The information can be considered by the city to prioritize ( parcels for various levels of protection and to secure the benefits of open ( space connectivity leading to an Open Space Plan. Negotiations with individual property owners will determine the methods to employ for securing open space benefits whether by regulation,gift,conservation easement,or purchase using ( the conservation fund. Project Process Utilizing South Burlington GIS data,existing open space resources and their ( degree of protection were mapped in an inventory base. Following the inventory base,subsequent combination of overlays was created. When combined,these ( overlays show a pattern of open space that suggests ways to infill,expand, ( and/or link the attributes of adjacent protected open space parcels. This ( connectivity provides an organization of the natural landscape that offers mobility for wildlife and people while enhancing the existing and potential ( functions of an open space system. Protection and Acquisition The identified open space areas incorporate whole or partial parcels that may ( be considered for protection or acquisition. Grand list values of whole parcels were then tabulated as part of the consideration for city officials in determining ( methods of realizing an Open Space Plan. ( As in any planning endeavor,this strategy is a step in the Open Space Plan development and will require continuing updates overtime that reflect future ( land conversions and land use priorities.

The purpose of the study was ( to identify important habitats of large mammals, look for linkages between habitats, and identify the landscape features that provide the habitats and ( linkages for large mammals. The study results are documented and mapped ( in "Where the Wild Things Are: Large Mammal Habitats and Corridors in South Burlington, Vermont". The data contained in the mammal study is incorporated into the Open Space Plan as a mapping layer. In addition, the Planning and Zoning Staff of South Burlington collaborated ( with the NRC to facilitate numerous public meetings. The meetings offered residents an opportunity to participate in identifying cultural landmarks and significant natural areas to be conserved and/or protected. The information was documented and mapped and is incorporated into the Open Space Strategy. Overview 5 South Burlington Open Space Strategy 1 \r %or %or Itor %or Nor *tior %sr \► .� 1rr. .. `. \.

( Citizen information on wildlife sightings was gathered through the mail and ( at two public information meetings with the Natural Resources Committee. ( A survey was mailed to residents asking them to provide information on what ( types of large mammals they had seen in the City, and where. This informa- tion was then compiled by City and Winooski Valley Park District staff into ( the map of large mammal sightings in Appendix III. It is important to note ( that the map reflects reported citizen sightings rather than information gath- 1 ered from a dedicated tracking program or wildlife survey, and as such re- flects the interest in and time spent observing wildlife of those who responded. ( Nonetheless, with over 50 individuals responding to the survey,the map pro- ( vides a good overview of locations in the City where various types of large ( mammals have been observed in the past three years. ( Mapping cultural landmarks was an interesting and important task. Unlike ( many Vermont municipalities, South Burlington lacks an historic village cen- ter and has very few historic farmsteads and farm buildings. Citizens thus identified other types of cultural landmarks which, while not typically "his- 1 toric,"help define the City's identity. ( ( The list developed, shown on Map 6 on Page 17, includes post-war develop- ments such as Al's French Frys and the Airport Grocery, as well as the older agricultural buildings such as the Chittenden Cider Mill, Irish Farmstand, ( Tilley Farm and old stone house on Van Sicklen Road.
