The South Burlington City Council held a meeting on Monday, April 24, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Room, City Hall, 1175 Williston Road Members Present Michael Flaherty, Vice Chairman; Frank Armstrong, William Burgess, Martin Paulsen Member Absent Paul Farrar, Chairman Others Present William Szymanski, City Manager; Richard Ranaldo, Alan Frey Minutes of April 17, 1978 It was moved by Mr. Burgess and seconded by Mr. Paulsen to approved minutes of April 17, 1978 as printed. The motion passed unanimously. Disbursement orders Disbursement orders were signed. Public hearing on proposed Charter amendments Mr. Flaherty said the change was to increase interest on unpaid from 1/2 to one full percent. He read the notice of the public hearing section 1503 of the Charter as it currently reads. Mr. Paulsen moved the Charter amendment be accepted as read. Mr. Armstrong seconded the motion and all were in favor. Consider naming the new industrial road Mr. Flaherty said the city had received several letters wishing the name of the new road to be Kimball after a man who worked on it and has since died. These were from Anita Kaiser, Gerald Brown, Angelo Pizzagalli, and Bill Keogh. There were verbal requests for the names of Tilley and Deca. Mr. Paulsen moved for the adoption of Kimball Avenue as the name for the new industrial area road. Mr. Armstrong seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Sign applications for Highway State aid funds Mr. Szymanski said that he had been told by the Highway Department that the city could receive $4,000 in state two-for-one money. The city would have to put up $2,000. This money is not in the budget but he felt the improvements to the Dorset St. intersection with williston Road would not cost as much as had been budgeted and that money could be used here. He recommended repaying Cheesefactory Road. Mr. Paulsen moved to sign the application for highway State Aid funds for $4,000 for the resurfacing of Cheesefactory Road for as far as the total $6,000 will go. Mr. Armstrong seconded the motion and all favored it. Mr. Armstrong suggested that the Council should tell the voters why it was moving towards the Charter change that had been discussed previously. He suggested a letter be put in South Burlington's paper The Other Paper. The Council agreed. Liquor Control Board Mr. Paulsen moved to adjourn as the City Council and meet as the Liquor Control Board. The motion was seconded by Mr. Burgess and passed unanimously. Mr. Szymanski said that he had applications for licenses from Hank's Citgo and the Quarry Hill Club which were OK. The Kuala Mauna has also paid its taxes and they are OKed by the Police Chief also. Mr. Szymanski said the licenses expired on May 1 and the Council would not meet before then. He asked for conditional approval on other licenses so that the owners would not have to go without. St. Gambri's, he said, will pay its taxes tomorrow. The Old Board needs extensive work done according to the Fire Chief and the Black Angus, which is applying for an entertainment permit, needs some work done also. Mr. Armstrong moved to approve the liquor licences of Hank's U-Save, Kuala Mauna, and Quarry Hill Club. Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Mr. Burgess then moved to renew the liquor license of St. Gambri's contingent on the payment of back taxes to the city of South Burlington. Mr. Paulsen seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Mr. Armstrong then moved that the Council give conditional approval to the Black Angus for an entertainment permit and also to the Old Board for a liquor license under the condition that we receive a written schedule of intent to comply with the Fire Chief and the State Fire Marshall's recommendations for correction of fire hazards. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Paulsen asked if all commercial establishments were inspected or if a few were singled out. Mr. Szymanski replied that the Chief has a regular routine he follows. Mr. Paulsenasked if the Council received a report and was told they did not but they could. He suggested the procedure be formalized and hazards made a matter of record. Mr. Szymanski said some of that was the State's responsibility. Mr. Flaherty suggested Fire Chief James Goddette come and discuss the procedure with the Council and they decided that would be good. The meeting was declared adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Click here for the Policy for the selection of Library Materials Clerk Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works.
