Comments & Questions from the Public not related to items on the Agenda: No issues were raised. 2. Request from Citizens Against Substance Abuse (CASA) for Funding for Parent Training Workshops: Mr. Hafter noted that CASA is bringing Billy Ward into the schools one day a week. Also, a parents' group is being formed. Mr. Cimonetti said he is still disappointed that the Social Responsibility Committee isn't involved and wanted to know if this is on their agenda. Mr. Hafter said that CASA is asking for $1500 which should carry them through the school year. Mr. Cimonetti moved to appropriate not more than $1500 to CASA for the current fiscal year. Mr. Condos seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Consideration of Approval of Letter of Intent Between City and Chittenden Regional Solid Waste Management District on Siting of Dewatered Sludge Drying Facility (Pelletizing Plant): Mr. Dinklage asked what "miscellaneous construction" (p.2, paragraph 2) means. This will be clarified. Mr. Hafter said the city will have a veto over the process selected and the vendor selected. Mr. Cimonetti asked that the city not mortgage more of its sewage capacity than necessary. The question of when trucks can go to and from the facility was also raised. It was noted that pellets cannot be used in Massachusetts. In Boston, they are talking about requiring communities to take back the pellets. It was felt the silo design should take into consideration problems with "hot spots" that have happened elsewhere. Members felt it was the start of a good agreement. Mr. Condos moved to give the City Manager the authority to amend and sign the agreement in the spirit of tonight's discussion. Mr. Dinklage seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Further Discussion of Location of Drop Off Site for Recyclables and Household Solid Waste at S. Burlington Landfill, Patchen Road: Concerns raised at the last discussion included whether S. Burlington would do this on its own and what it would take for the District to open more facilities. Mr. Condos noted the District Board gave the OK for a traffic study. Mr. Cimonetti said there should be a facility in Burlington if there is one in S. Burlington and his vote would depend on that condition. The District's representative asked if the Cassella facility would count. Mr. Hafter said only if it is advertised as a drop-off site. Mr. Dinklage suggested requiring the District to maintain a site in Burlington and leaving it up to them as to how and where they do it. Mr. Audette noted that Burlington has turned down a request for a site. Members generally agreed that S. Burlington's decision would depend on the locating of a site in Burlington and the drafting of an acceptable letter of intent. 5. Request for Approval of Application from DAV to Hold a Coin Drop on 9/26/92; Kennedy Drive & Hinesburg Rd: Mr. Condos said that from a safety point of view those collecting should be required to wear colored hats.
