STOUCK Executive Director Area Code 802--658-1900 VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED 167 St. Paul St. BURLINGTON, VERMONT 05401 December 2, 1968 Board of Selectmen Town of South Burlington Gentlemen: Attached you will find a four month review of services provided and the cost of the program to date. In the disease control program, several striking elements are apparent. In all towns including South Burlington we find an increasing demand for services for the terminally ill patient. By offering a combination of nursing and home health aide services, the patient can be cared for through the terminal stages of his illness at home where he is more content and the family is happier to have him. Nursing home placement has been prevented in several instances where again, with the combination of nursing and home health aide services, maintenance at home is possible and at times more desirable. In both of these types of care, the patient is not only often pleased to be at home, but economically there usually is a financial saving. We anticipate that needs in these areas of care will continue to increase. There are plans to broaden the "prevention and health promotion programs" with particular emphasis on maternity and infant care, family planning, development of a well child and pre-school clinic, nutrition therapy, mental health and general family guidance. There are plans to seek federal assistance in broadening these services and developing new projects in areas where there are known needs. Casefinding will be an important part of this program. We know there are people who need services, who are not aware of what is available or aren't able to seek them for one reason or another. In all of our plans for broadening or developing new services, close communication with physicians and other interested groups is maintained. The Agency has close working relationships with the Regional Medical Program. The Health Department, OEC Programs, The Welfare Department, etc., coordinating and developing community health programs. In anticipating costs for the coming year, the Board of Directors proposes that the Contract with South Burlington be renewed on the same budget basis for January 1, 1969 - December 31, 1969; that is, a monthly billing rate of $250.00. Thank you for your continued interest and support. Respectfully submitted, Lisbeth K. Stouch, R.N.

The Extension Service - University of Vermont BURLINGTON 05401 November 25, 1968 Mr. Henry N. LeClair Town Manager 31 Dumont Avenue South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Dear Mr. LeClair: The bill for Extension Service tax for South Burlington is $2,860. It is based on the relationship of the total fair market value of properties in South Burlington, as supplied by the State Tax Department, to the total fair market value for Chittenden County; i.e., $59,990,744 for South Burlington and $484,065,422 for Chittenden County. Percentagewise this figures out to 12.4 percent. Then the balance of the formula as contained in the State Act calls for a payment by the towns and cities in counties with over $275,000,000 to pay $5,000 per agent. There are three agents in Chittenden County, thus the total to be raised in Chittenden County is $15,000, and 12.4 percent of $15,000 equals the $1,860 due from the town of South Burlington. The increase in the formula for Chittenden County amounts to $2,000 per agent over what it formerly was and then, of course, there are changes in the total fair market value relationships. These two items are the reason for the increase. The County Extension Service Act was amended by the 1967 Legislature (passed in the adjourned 1968 part of the session). If you have further questions about this, please let me know. Sincerely, R. P. Davison Director cc: Robert Carlson dk UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT.

D'Acuti, Chairman Board of Selectmen Municipal building South Burlington, Vermont 05401 Subject: Sewerage and Sewage Treatment South Burlington, Vermont Dear Mr. A'Acuti: This office has reviewed the contract between the Town of South Burlington and Webster - Martin, Inc. for the development of preliminary designs for Phase V of the subject sewer system. It was noted that Article II, Section A, paragraph 2 of the contract provides upon request of the client, for field surveys, for land takings and takings and easements. Please be advised that payment for those surveys can not be made from the engineering planning advance fund and that the cost of these surveys was not included in the Approval of Engineering Planning Advance dated June 1968. Should the town desire to have these surveys conducted as part of impending engineering work it should be prepared to make payment from locally available funds. Other than mentioned above the contract is acceptable and the town may now notify the engineer to proceed with planning. It is requested that a copy of the latter authorizing the engineer to proceed be forwarded to this office. Please do not hesitate to contact this office should any questions arise concerning this matter.

Basically, the Jaycees have agreed, after examination, to contribute moneys toward the purchase of this property for conservation and recreational purposes. The plot of land consists of approximately 8 ½ acres; one 9­room home; one 2­truck garage; one 2­car garage; and one small, old barn. The land is generally small and open except for the extreme corner which is treed. To obtain the property the Jaycees will entertain the following method: The Jaycees would raise and contribute approximately 10,000.00 Recommend to the Board of Selectmen to release the 10,000.00 appropriated for these purposes by the last town meeting. Further, the buildings and minimal property could be said for approximately $$,000.00, therefore leaving approximately $$000.00 balance from the asking price of 60,000.00 which the Jaycees would assume responsibility for in the form of a mortage and would amortize over a period of time through its own resources and/or when the town could afford to pay the balance. The Jaycees have already authorized money for schematic development by a professional site planner and would anticipate with the town in developing the property. Naturally the exact purchase price has not been negotiated and it is possible that a more advantageous method of financing could be developed. I trust the above $$umes up the meeting of November 6th.

Arnold Deputy for Engineering and Chief Engineer Department of Highways Montpelier, Vermont 05602 Dear Mr. Arnold: This letter is to verify the Town's approval for the proposal made by your department for the channelization of traffic, and for traffic control signals, signs, and other improvements on Shelburne Road in South Burlington. As you are aware, representatives of the Board of Selectmen, the Chairman of the Planning Commission, and Representative Hackett met with several of your people on November 26, 1968 to discuss these matters. The Town Officials were in complete concurrence with the plan and are desirous of its implementation as soon as possible. We recognize modification of an additional signal for Lindenwood drive that would permit left turning movements. This is necessary in view of the extreme terrain problems that would be encountered in extending Lindenwood Drive to Swift Street due to elevations and natural water courses. The Town recognizes its obligation to reconstruct a portion of Queen City Park Road to at least three lanes as soon as weather permits. We also point out that the community will protect Shelburne Road right-of-way in the future by requiring a 75' set-back for buildings in its Zoning Ordinance and by requiring deacceleration lanes on private property by way of subdivision regulations, on future commercial developments.
