MEMBERS PRESENT: City Council: M. Emery, Acting Steering Committee Chair; H. Riehle, City Council Chair; T. Barritt, Sen. T. Chittenden, M. Cota; J. Baker, City Manager; School Board: Dr. T. Childs, School Board Chair; A. Henry, C. Tillinghast, M. Boyer, K. Bailey, B. Minier; D. Young, Superintendent of Schools ALSO PRESENT: A. Bolduc, Deputy City Manager; Rep. J. Killacky, Rep. A. Pugh, Rep. M. Townsend, P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; J. Slason, E. Goldman, M. Mittag, E. Krasnow 1. Directions on How to Leave the Building in Case of an Emergency: Ms. Baker provided instructions on exiting the building in the event of an emergency. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: No changes were made to the agenda. 3. Comments & Questions from the public not related to the Agenda: No issues were raised. 4. City Council and School Board discussion on School Impact Fee Report from Jonathan Slason, PE from RSG: Supt. Young reviewed the history. He said it is important to discern where the school district is in terms of enrollment and to respond to any questions from the City Council. Two elementary schools are significantly over their maximum enrollment. This has raised the question of whether to bring back school impact fees to help defer some of the costs of the added enrollment. Mr. Slason said the city had school impact fees for many years, then sunset them. The school district now news to meet the challenge of increasing enrollment today and in the future. Mr. Slason stressed that impact fees are only part of the solution. They do, however, provide a fair amount of latitude as to what they can fund. The ones cited in his report represent the legal maximum. STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 2 Mr. Slason said the school district needs to identify 125,000 square feet of space to meet present and future enrollment. The estimated cost is $587.00/sq. ft. Impact fees would meet about 20% of that number. Ms. Tillinghast asked what impact fees were in the past compared to what is being recommended. Mr. Slason estimated between $2,000 and $7,000 per household unit in the past. Mr. Cota noted that traditionally impact fees are paid by a developer when a building permit is pulled. He also noted that a homeowner could be charged an impact fee for adding on a bedroom to an existing home. He asked if impact fees would be only on residential uses. Mr. Slason said that is what typically happens. Mr. Barritt asked what the previous impacts fee money was used for. Supt. Young recalled the addition of project rooms at two elementary schools. Ms. Riehle said there is a legal requirement that the school project has to be constructed while fees are being collected; the money can’t be used for future planning. Mr. Slason said the project has to be identified, but they can do some pre-planning. You can collect money as long as it goes toward an identified project. Supt. Young added that the project has to be predicated on enrollment needs. Mr. Conner explained that state law requires the money to be used for “increased capacity,” but how you measure that can vary. Mr. Conner noted that the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a 10-year plan, so the city is looking 10 years out. He also added that since impact fees fund only part of the cost of a project, there has to be a commitment to secure the rest of the funding. Mr. Slason noted that if a project is not built, the money collected for that project has to be returned to the developers. Supt. Young said he is getting requests from Act 250 as to whether the school has capacity for a given development. He is now saying “no,” and this could impact development in the city. Mr. Conner said the education impact fee in 2009 was $2800 for a single family home and $1600 per unit for a multi-family development. Mr. Cota noted that Mr. Slason is recommending assessing the impact fee based on the number of bedrooms. Mr. Slason said that is more equitable as studio and 1 bedroom apartments don’t STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 3 generate a large number of children. The impact feel in those cases could also jeopardize affordability. Mr. Cota asked how many units are built in the city per year. Mr. Conner estimated 140. Mr. Cota said that would be about $35,000,000. Mr. Conner said some of those units are studios and single bedroom. Mr. Barritt asked if an impact fee would be levied on an affordable unit or project. Mr. Slason said it is common for a city to waive the impact fee in those cases. Mr. Conner stressed that the burden then gets shifted to other sources. Sen. Chittenden asked if a square footage basis was ever considered, to impact larger homes. Mr. Slason said that could be investigated. Sen. Chittenden cited the need to start thinking about a new school. He noted that most of the growth has been in the Southeast Quadrant where there is no school. Ms. Baker noted that saying “no” to Act 250 will result in developers doing projects that don’t have to go through Act 250. She said there are other tools to get a “yes” to Act 250. Mr. Barritt asked whether a “no” to Act 250 carries a lot of weight. Mr. Conner said Act 250 can approve, approve with conditions, or deny. The direction given to them is that criteria can be used to attach conditions to a project; the project can’t be denied because of it. Mr. Conner noted that very few schools in the state are having this issue. Ms. Boyer asked how they can get to a predictable enrollment number and whether they use the full resource of historical data. Supt. Young said the district employs a demographer. From 2014 to the present, he has been right on. Mr. Slason said the average increase in students is between 18-20+ per year, and that aligns with housing. Sen. Chittenden cited the need for another elementary school, and said impact fees could be used to help offset that cost. Supt. Young said it is important to begin the process and the collection of funds. It is also important to do due diligence. Ms. Emery asked if the School Board has said ‘yes.’ Supt. Young said they have. Dr. Childs asked people can be prevented from moving to South Burlington. Ms. Baker said “no.” STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 4 Ms. Emery asked if this would be a topic at the Council retreat and whether it would require a ballot item. Ms. Baker said it can be put on the Retreat agenda. Voters would not vote on the imposing of impact fees, but they would vote on the “match.” She said she would encourage the Council to receive and respond to a specific recommendation from the School Board which is as detailed as possible. Mr. Slason noted that impact fees need to reflect all other financing (grants, etc.). There will be a legal maximum. Mr. Minier was concerned that they will be underestimating where they need to be. He noted they have underestimated the number of students in the past. He stressed that just fixing the Middle School and High School is a $100,000,000 cost. Mr. Slason noted that they could use impact fees for trailers now and then increase the amount in the next few years when plans evolve. Ms. Emery said there is a real concern on the part of parents with overcrowding. She asked what will happen in the interim. Supt. Young said they are 160 over capacity at each of the 2 schools. They now need modular units as they will far exceed expectations for next year. He stressed that these are not trailers. They look very much like classrooms. They can provide some time to plan. 5. Hold a legislative session wrap-up discussion with the current South Burlington State delegation: Ms. Emery introduced the Legislators present at the meeting. Ms. Riehle said it is also very important for candidates to come and listen to concerns as to what needs to be addressed. Sen. Chittenden said the Education Committee on which he serves spent a lot of time on new “pupil weighting.” Mr. Chittenden said it looks like the additional $90,000,000 will allow another year of universal meals. He was concerned that people who are getting meals under that funding may have the means to provide for themselves. He said he would favor a “candy tax.” Rep. Killacky said they had thought they had crafted a way to make Act 250 stricter and more regional, but the Governor vetoed it. STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 5 Rep. Pugh said pre-Kindergarten (pre-K) continues to be an effort to figure out with a child-care focus. Providers are trying the mirror the request to have pre-K more than 10 hours a week. She suggested the School Board may want to provide input in that discussion. There is still a question as to how to fund that. Rep. Pugh stressed the need for children to have a good educational start, and to make it affordable. She also stressed that significant strides have been made to provide the best for students in safe places. Rep. Killacky noted that a lot of money went toward affordable housing, particularly to address the “missing middle.” ARPA funding will allow a developer to get part of the development cost for providing affordability. Rep. Townsend said the new budget has substantial investments regarding support for vulnerable Vermonters and provide them with needed services. This legislation includes a childhood and an elderly piece. Rep. Townsend asked the boards to contemplate the degree to which there will be new people in both chambers of the State Legislature. She urged then to reach out, not at the last minutes. She noted that funding from sports gambling has been a “death item” in the House in the past, but with new people there could be a new approach. The Legislature said “yes” to using $29,000,000 from the Ed Fund for universal meals, recognizing that children can’t learn if they don’t have good food. Rep. Killacky said the new representatives need to be educated on the needs of the city. He noted that representatives have been able to work together over several committees because they knew what was important. He also noted that 7 of the 11 committee chairs will not be returning which will radically change the House. Ms. Baker said the current elected officials have done an amazing job, particularly in interacting with city people (Police, Fire, Stormwater, etc.). She said the city will continue to focus on that and noted that the new Fire Chief may be at the head of getting regional dispatch. Mr. Barritt expressed concern about the pension issue. Rep. Townsend directed those interested in this to the appropriate website. She noted there were some changes made that took $2,000,000,000 off the top of the unfunded liability. This will not affect anyone already retired. STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 6 Ms. Boyer asked for a “back of the envelope” estimate of the South Burlington state tax rate. Sen. Chittenden said no more than 5%/year. There is a new method of weighting of students (e.g., English language learners, free lunch students, etc.). Supt. Young said the system makes it difficult to sustain programming. He stressed the need to be proactive and plan, even before November. He felt that new weighting system could result in significant reductions in programming. Supt. Young said the risk and liability in education is very high now. More schools may have to shut down as Burlington High School did. He said that child care and pre-K are very important factors in a planned outcome. He suggested that there should be an opportunity for education to connect with businesses. Ms. Emery then thanked the City’s Representatives for their many years of service to the community. 6. Update on the Climate Action Plan and request for South Burlington School District participation: Mr. Goldman spoke to the need to rebuild communities to create a solution that will work for generations. He reviewed the history of the creation of the Climate Action Task Force which will deliver its recommendations to the City Council in September. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and totally by 2050. Mr. Goldman noted that transportation represents about 2/3 of emission and buildings the other 1/3. The Task Force is looking to reduce vehicle miles traveled by 2-1/2% each year and to electrify a percentage of buildings each year. They are asking for an ordinance to prohibit fossil fuel use in all new buildings (which would require a City Charter change) and to reduce fossil fuel use in existing buildings. With regard to the school district, Mr. Goldman noted there are vehicles and buildings to be addressed. As educators of the next generation, there is also the opportunity to create students who will be part of the solution. He asked how the school district can partner with the city in this venture. Mr. Conner noted that the starting point for the Task Force was to build on the State’s climate change plan, then to tie it to the local level. STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 7 Ms. Emery asked how the number of school buses could be reduced. Supt. Young said one issue is the safety of students walking to school. There are numerous infractions of people passing school buses, even when there are police behind them issuing tickets. On the positive side, there have been students instrumental in solar display. There are 4 electric school buses, and there have been heating upgrades though older buildings can have only limited efficiency. There has been work at Chamberlin with high-efficient heat pumps. In classrooms, students are learning about climate change mitigation. Supt. Young acknowledged that there is still a long way to go. Ms. Bailey asked if it is as simple as asking the question when ordering school buses and doing other planning. Mr. Goldman urged money to be spent on something that improves the situation. He suggested focusing new construction in transportation zones. He stressed that it goes beyond “better choices.” Supt. Young asked if schools can be put in areas where there aren’t major street crossings. Mr. Mittag said that schools need an intense curriculum regarding changes that can be made to keep the planet livable. He added that it could help mitigate the fear students have if the school curriculum can address the issues. One of those issues is students driving to school and how to get more students on buses. Dr. Childs said parents can’t be forced to put their children on buses, and telling parents their kids can’t drive is not the school’s business. Mr. Mittag said the word is “encourage.” Supt. Young said there is a lot to talk about including the use of volunteers to help create “safe routes to school.” There was an effort to get public transportation in areas where there is none. That has to be a cooperative effort. Ms. Boyer said there is also the issue of students spending too much time on buses. Ms. Krasnow said there are also accessibility issues for some students with physical and other disabilities. 7. Other Business: Ms. Emery thanked Supt. Young for his many years of service and wished him well in his new venture. Supt. Young said it has been his pleasure to serve the community. Sen. Chittenden then moved to adjourn. Mr. Minier seconded. Motion passed unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 9:12 p.m. STEERING COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2022 PAGE 8 ________________________________ City Council Clerk ________________________________ School Board Clerk City of South Burlington General Ledger Revenue Report - GENERAL FUND Current Year Period 1 July Estimated Received % Budget Uncollected FY-22/23 MTD Account Revenue To Date Received Balance Pd 1 Jul TAX REVENUE TAX REVENUE 18,202,812.57$ (74,646,759.91)$ 410.08%(56,443,947.34)$ (74,646,759.91)$ LOCAL OPTION TAXES 4,033,388.90$ -$ 0.00%4,033,388.90$ -$ Total TAX REVENUE 22,236,201.47$ (74,646,759.91)$ 410.08%(52,410,558.44)$ (74,646,759.91)$ INTEREST/PENALTY ON TAX 379,000.00$ -$ 0.00%379,000.00$ -$ Other Health Services 247,346.40$ (22,680.01)$ 9.17%224,666.39$ (22,680.01)$ CITY MANAGER 1,463,078.08$ 27,743.87$ -1.90%1,490,821.95$ 27,743.87$ CITY CLERK 383,100.00$ (23,084.70)$ 6.03%360,015.30$ (23,084.70)$ PLANNING 383,100.00$ (48,586.05)$ 12.68%334,513.95$ (48,586.05)$ FIRE DEPARTMENT 489,000.00$ (12,749.79)$ 2.61%476,250.21$ (12,749.79)$ ELECTRICAL INSPECTION 65,000.00$ (3,298.40)$ 5.07%61,701.60$ (3,298.40)$ AMBULANCE 721,000.00$ (65,625.34)$ 9.10%655,374.66$ (65,625.34)$ POLICE DEPARTMENT 517,997.24$ (9,253.68)$ 1.79%508,743.56$ (9,253.68)$ HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1,394,855.38$ (87,609.79)$ 6.28%1,307,245.59$ (87,609.79)$ Total RECREATION 171,500.00$ (32,028.60)$ 18.68%139,471.40$ (32,028.60)$ PUBLIC LIBRARY 10,300.00$ (792.47)$ 7.69%9,507.53$ (792.47)$ Senior Programs 26,500.00$ (893.00)$ 3.37%25,607.00$ (893.00)$ SPECIAL ACTIVITIES 145,000.00$ (31,135.60)$ 21.47%113,864.40$ (31,135.60)$ Total GENERAL FUND 6,396,777.10$ (309,993.56)$ 19%6,086,783.54$ (309,993.56)$ Total All Funds 28,632,978.57$ (74,956,753.47)$ 263.25%(46,323,774.90)$ (74,956,753.47)$ City of South Burlington General Ledger Revenue Report - ENTERPRISE FUND/W.P.C.

Grant funding is being sought to design a series of distributed stormwater infiltration practices to treat runoff from approximately fifteen (15) acres of impervious surface that currently discharges untreated to Potash Brook. The proposed project will utilize available space within the City’s right-of-way to construct underground infiltration chamber systems. This project has been identified in the Potash Brook Flow Restoration Plan (FRP) and the City’s Phosphorus Control Plans (PCP). The project will reduce the amount of phosphorous going to Lake Champlain by 22 kg per year. I am requesting that City Council authorize staff to apply for $19,300 in grant funding from Mt. Ascutney Region Commission for design phase services. If you have any questions, please contact me at (802) 658-7961 Ext.6113 or dwheeler@southburlingtonvt.gov. City Of South Burlington, Grant Request Form Prior to applying for a grant please complete this form and submit to Assistant City Manager..

(Answer must be YES to proceed) Yes No Is the project listed as an ineligible project type in the funding policy (pp 12-13)? (Answer must be NO to proceed) Yes No Step 2: Verify project presence in Watershed Project Database. Each project must have a Watershed Project Database number. If the project is not yet in the Watershed Project Database, the recipient must collaborate with their local basin planner to propose the project, have the basin planner review, enter information into the database and assign a Watershed Project Database number to that project. Use the Water Quality Project Screening Tool to identify the appropriate Basin Planner for your project. Please allow your basin planner at least two weeks to review and add a new project to the Watershed Project Database. Watershed Project Database ID number assigned: ________________________ Brief Summary of Basin Planner input on the project (please attach proof of correspondence): Step 3: DEC Programmatic Review. The purpose of programmatic review is 1) to confirm the proposed project is supported and would be beneficial for water quality from the perspective of the relevant DEC program (based on project types) and 2) to confirm if any other design standards apply. Refer to Table 3 below for guidance on which programmatic staff to consult with. If your project crosses types or is a blend of project types, please consult with all potentially applicable program representatives. Only those programs listed in Table 3 require consultation for this step. Applicants should confirm programmatic support prior to advancing to Step 4. Please allow program staff at least one week to review your proposed project and provide a response. 1. Send DEC program contacts the watersheds project database number (if available), location and description of the project, and any other relevant information they request that will be utilized in their review. 2. Obtain written documentation of the results of their findings (using the form included in Appendix A). Responses must include “approval to proceed with the project application”, OR “approval with conditions1 to proceed with the project application”, OR “Denied approval to proceed” 3. Provide summary of communications in Table 2 below and submit record of correspondence (i.e., completed form in Appendix A) as part of your application. 4.

Floodplain/Stream Regional River Scientist https://anrweb.vt.gov/DEC/cleanWaterDashboard/ScreeningTool.aspx Wetland Wetland District Ecologist Wetland Inquiry Form Step 4: Permit Screening. Review your project for potential Natural Resource Conflicts and ANR permit needs (to be conducted in advance of each project phase- 30% preliminary design, 100% final design, implementation). Please walk through and answer all of the questions in the Table 4 Natural Resource Conflicts and ANR Permits Checklist and provide summaries of consultations, where requested. 1) The ANR Atlas Clean Water Initiative Program Grant Screening tool can help answer the yes/no questions in the following sections: Act 250, Lakeshore, and Rivers. Follow the instructions on this link to identify whether your project is located on an Act 250 parcel or is located in the jurisdictional zones to trigger a Lakeshore or Rivers Program permit. Note that the layer to activate in ANR Atlas is now named “Clean Water Initiative Program Grant Screening.” 2) This checklist is a high-level review of the most likely ANR permits to apply to your project. Sub-grantees selected for funding are expected to perform due diligence to ensure all applicable permits (including non-ANR state, local, and federal permits) are discovered and secured prior to implementation. The ANR Permit Navigator and an Environmental Compliance Division Community Assistance Specialist can help confirm ANR permitting needs for any projects once selected for funding. 3) If instructed by the Table 4 check-list to connect with a specific program’s regulatory staff, please do the following: o Send them the watersheds project database number (if available), location and description of the project, and any other relevant information they request that will be utilized in their review. o Secure written documentation of the results of their findings (an email meets this requirement). o Provide summary of communications in the checklist form below. 4) The “conditioned” category is reserved for when the State technical staff indicate they may need a field visit or may need to see more completed designs prior to making a permit need determination. 5) If instructed by the Table 4 check-list, applicants must attempt to communicate with the relevant technical staff and provide them with at least two weeks to review the project and provide a response. If no response is received by the application due date, the applicant may indicate “unknown/pending” and submit proof of attempted correspondence made in a timely manner. 6) Note that it is ok to fund design projects where a permit need is “unknown/pending” or “conditioned,” but that sub-grant recipient will be expected to continue to engage with any applicable regulatory programs identified through this review to ensure a final determination of permit needs is confirmed prior to implementation. Implementation project proposals must have no “unknown/pending” or “conditioned” responses in the checklist below in order to be funded.

A few items to highlight as you consider this draft ordinance: • There is a standard set for heating in the Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards. We have yet to find a similar standard for domestic hot water. • Domestic hot water regulation is not specified in the enabling State Statute. • We currently do not have a Building Inspector. This draft allows for the appointment of one. • Certificates of Compliance from the Building Inspector would be required for all new construction, including single family homes. • All is approved through self certification including the consideration of waivers. • No inspections will be done. • Enforcement (penalties) will be done through the Fire Marshal’s Offices. If the Council decides to move this forward, please vote to hold a public hearing on or after September 19th on the ordinance as presented or amended. That timeline will allow us to meet the public notice requirements for the public hearing. Future Capacity to Educate and Enforce Municipal Ordinances In addition to crafting this draft ordinance, the Team spent some time discussing current processes and best practices around educating on and enforcing municipal ordinances. For your information, attached are documents that the Planning & Zoning Director and Fire Chief put together outlining current practices. With our current capacity (thank you for the recent added capacity of both a Fire Chief and a Fire Marshal) we are able to administer the draft ordinance as presented using self certification, adding single family homes to the process, and providing education only through referring to the Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards and hopefully working with partners in the future. However, if we were to fully enforce the ordinance including inspecting properties to include single family homes, we would need to consider adding capacity in the following areas: • Administrative support for scheduling, data management, and record keeping. • Building inspection capacity to fully inspect single family homes. • Education and communication support to provide technical assistance to property owners and developers. We will continue to explore potential resources as we approach the FY24 budget process. RENEWABLE HEATING AND HOT WATER ORDINANCE I. Purpose and Authority (a) Purpose. It is in the public interest and in the interest of public health and safety to achieve a high degree of conservation of energy and, where possible, reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses by requiring buildings to meet specified energy efficiency performance standards and maximum allowable heat loss standards. (b) Authority. All provisions in this article relating to heating systems and domestic hot water heating systems are adopted pursuant to the authority and powers granted by the Vermont Legislature in 24 V.S.A. Chapter 83 (Building Inspectors and Regulation of Building: Bylaws and ordinances; penalties), as reasonably necessary to improve the health, safety, and welfare of the public from fuel leaks and explosions, and from air pollution, including that which is causing climate change and thereby threatens the city and its inhabitants. II. Definitions (a) A “renewable primary heating system” shall mean a heating system that meets at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the building’s design heating load calculated per the Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES) energy code (Section C403.1) and is fueled by: i. Electricity (with exception of electric resistance units prohibited by the Vermont Commercial Energy Standards (CBES) energy code (Section C403.2.3); or ii. Wood pellets or woodchips; or iii. Other renewable fuel used by conventional primary heating systems, including renewable gas, biodiesel, and renewable district heating, if the building owner provides a contract demonstrating that the fuel required by the conventional primary heating system is fully sourced from such other renewable fuels for the life of that conventional heating system. “Renewable gas” shall mean methane produced by the organic material and sourced from landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and farms as offered under a tariff or supply contract from a utility such as Vermont Gas Systems. (b) A “renewable primary domestic water heating system” shall mean a domestic hot water heating system that meets at least eighty-five (85%) of the building’s design domestic hot water heating load and is fueled by: i. Electricity (with exception of electric resistance units prohibited by the Vermont Commercial Energy Standards (CBES) energy code (Section C403.2.3); or ii. Wood pellets or woodchips; or iii. Other renewable fuel used by conventional primary water heating systems, including renewable gas, biodiesel, and renewable district heating, if the building owner provides a contract demonstrating that the fuel required by the conventional primary water heating system is fully sourced from such other renewable fuels for the life of that conventional water heating system. “Renewable gas” shall mean methane produced by the organic material and sourced from landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and farms as offered under a tariff or supply contract from a utility such as Vermont Gas Systems. (c) A “non-primary heating system” shall include back-up heating system, back up domestic water heating system, or ventilation/air tempering system. (d) “New Building” shall mean all new construction of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings with a heating source and/or domestic water heating source where either: i. a complete application package for a construction permit submitted pursuant to the City of South Burlington Fire Prevention and Safety Ordinance is stamped received by the City of South Burlington Fire Marshal on or after January 1, 2023; or ii. for owner-occupied single family residential buildings only, a complete application for a zoning permit submitted pursuant to the City of South Burlington Land Development Regulations is received and deemed complete by the City of South Burlington Department of Planning and Zoning on or after January 1, 2023.

MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council FROM: Andrew Bolduc, Deputy City Manager DATE: August 12, 2022 RE: Resolution on CIP Policy and Amending CIP Reserve Fund ______________________________________________________________________________ Background Over the past year, the City Manager and I have heard from community members, committee members, elected officials, and staff, that the City’s Capital Improvement Plan has been under or inconsistently funded in ways that set challenging expectations for City projects identified in out years. As part of the FY23 budget process, City Council advanced, and the community approved, a budget that recognized the need for improved stewardship of the City’s long-term capital planning by including a dedicated Capital Projects staff position in the budget. This position was filled a month ago, and, working with the finance team, are planning several improvements in the FY24 CIP budgeting and planning process. One of the most necessary improvements is to begin to smooth year-to-year fluctuations in the CIP and impacts those have to tax rates and operational city budget goals. One of the mechanisms in the City’s toolkit to effectively smooth those impacts is to use a special reserve fund that allows the City to plan for and incrementally accumulate capital funding for large one-time expenditures. Rather than establish a dedicated special fund for each capital expenditure, a CIP special fund can accomplish these goals and provide some flexibility within the fund when project budget savings and overages occur. In researching the City’s finance policies and previously established special funds, the City Council approved a CIP reserve fund in 2013 that can effectively accomplish this CIP planning goal. While the language in the resolution authorizes the reserve to be used for any CIP expenditure, to date, this fund has only been utilized as the reserve fund for City Center projects. Attached in your packets is the original resolution along with an updated version with a few recommended amendments. The substantive edits in this version are: • Eliminating the provision that this fund could be used to cover unanticipated or emergency capital expenditures. This is currently the function of the City’s Fund Balance. • Formalizing a policy that for all City special and enterprise funds that have CIP expenditures, that any unspent CIP allocation in a given fiscal year may be rolled forward into subsequent fiscal years for that specific project purpose. This is largely already occurring through fund-specific mechanisms such as the allocated fund balance in the City’s three enterprise funds. • General edits and clarifying cross-citations to the City’s adopted finance policies. • Including an allowance for the fund to use its own unallocated reserve from any CIP project savings to offset other CIP project budget overages. Expenditures of this unallocated reserve within the fund are at the discretion of the City Manager; however, Council approves all fund expenditures through its standard warrant/accounts payable process. o In order to keep a reasonable limit on the amount of unallocated reserve that can accumulate in the fund, at the close of every fiscal year, any amount of this reserve that exceeds 20% of the total allocated funds in the account will be transferred into the General Fund Fund Balance. • Includes authorization for Council to re-allocate at any time any funds accumulated for a cancelled CIP project/expenditure. The ability to maintain funding for a project into future fiscal years gives the added benefit of providing flexibility in the event a project is delayed, receives unreasonable project bids, or otherwise is not in the best interest of the city to pursue that year due to unforeseen circumstances. A couple recent examples are supply chain issues we are seeing in our fleet replacement, sometimes not receiving ordered vehicles for up-to 24 months, or projects delayed due to COVID impacts such as a number of FY 21 Parks & Recreation CIP projects. Discussion & Action Please review the attached resolution for discussion and possible approval. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the Resolution as presented (or as amended). RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) YEAR-TO-YEAR ALLOCATION OF UNEXPENDED FUNDS AND AMENDING THE RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A RESERVE FUND FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) WHEREAS, the City Charter, section 13-310 (7) states, “The City Council and the school board, by their own actions, may establish reserve funds to pay for public improvements, replacement of equipment, and planned or unplanned operating expenditures. Monies to be deposited in any fund shall be included in a city or school district budget and shall not be excluded in calculating the net cost of operation pursuant to subsection 1309(a) of this chapter. Reserve funds shall be kept in separate accounts and invested in the same manner as other public funds. The City Council and the school board may, from time to time, expend monies in those funds for purposes for which they were established without voter approval.”; and, WHEREAS, the purpose of a Capital Improvement Plan is to: a) to provide a multi-year financial plan for maintenance, replacement, and construction or acquisition of capital assets; b) to serve as a fiscal tool to prepare for large expenditures and create tax rate consistency from year to year; c) to plan for and develop facilities that best meet the needs of the community consistent with the City’s fiscal capacity and the Comprehensive Plan; and d) to meet statutory requirements related to Impact Fees, Capital Improvement Planning, and Budgeting; and, WHEREAS, under 24 V.S.A. §§4430, and the City’s Capital Program and Budget Policy (adopted June 18, 2012) a Capital Expenditure is defined as any expenditure for land, land improvements, infrastructure, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, or equipment costing more than $10,000, this includes, costs related to project pre-development such as studies, surveys, concept plans, designs, preliminary engineering, and engineering are to be included as capital expenditures as well as all expenditures related to all steps in the construction of projects approved in the annual CIP. Yearly and more frequent maintenance costs of capital infrastructure are operational and not capital expenditures; and, WHEREAS, a CIP policy is needed to meet the intended goals of the CIP and formalize how budgeted and unspent CIP funds are managed across all City special funds including its enterprise funds; and, WHEREAS, a General Fund Reserve Fund is needed to meet the CIP goals of minimizing large fluctuations in the tax rate and reduce the need for incurring additional debt; and, WHEREAS, on May 6th, 2013, the City Council established a CIP Reserve Fund for the above referenced purposes which has thus far been utilized only for the City Center projects; and, WHEREAS, it remains in the best long-term interests of the community to utilize a General Fund CIP Reserve Fund for all purposes for which it was established, with updated amendments to its terms to clarify its purpose and function. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby formally makes it the policy of the City, that across all enterprise and special funds, any unexpended annual funds allocated in the City’s approved CIP, shall remain allocated and set-aside for that purpose in future years according to the reserve or fund balance terms of those funds; and, NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby re-adopts and amends its Capital Improvement Plan Reserve Fund for the purpose of depositing: any year- end unexpended general fund dollars from voter-approved Capital Improvement Plan Projects; project-specific multi-year General Fund allocations to the Reserve Fund, such as the City Center reserve; and, any City Council-approved General Fund, Fund Balance transfers as the Council, by majority vote, determines to be in the best interests of the City; and, NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all money placed in this Reserve Fund shall only be disbursed for the expenditures identified in the City’s approved CIP, and as defined under the City’s Capital Program and Budget Policy (adopted June 18, 2012), or thereafter amended. In the event any CIP item’s costs are lower than budgeted, the balance shall remain in the Reserve Fund as an unallocated reserve to be used for the purpose of covering unanticipated cost overages for other CIP items. The reallocation of unallocated funds in the Reserve Fund to support unanticipated CIP item overages shall be at the discretion of the City Manager. At the close of the Fiscal Year, any unallocated fund balance that exceeds 20% of total allocated funds in the Reserve Fund, shall be transferred to City’s General Fund Balance. In the event a planned CIP project is cancelled, the City Council may, at any time by majority vote, re-allocate the balance of funds designated for that project to other projects in the approved CIP. All expenditures made from this Reserve Fund will be done in a manner consistent with the Council’s Accounts Payable policy and bi-weekly Warrant process done with the approval of a majority of the City Council at an officially warned meeting and recorded in the minutes. [SIGNATURE PAGE TO FOLLOW] Dated at South Burlington, Vermont this ___ day of August, 2022. ______________________ ______________________ Helen Riehle, Chair Meaghan Emery, Vice Chair ______________________ _______________________ Tim Barritt, Clerk Thomas Chittenden _______________________ Matt Cota 38 | P a g e CAPITAL PROGRAM AND BUDGET POLICY PURPOSE.The purpose of the Capital Program and Budget Policy is to establish the minimum requirements of and the procedure for the adoption and update of a Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) pursuant to 24 V.S.A. §§4430, 4443 for the City of South Burlington ( the “City”) that (a) provides a multi-year financial plan for maintenance, replacement, and construction or acquisition of capital assets; (b) serves as a fiscal tool to prepare for large expenditures and create tax rate consistency from year to year; (c) enables the City to plan for and develop facilities that best meet the needs of the citizens and staff consistent with the City’s fiscal capacity and the Comprehensive Plan; and (d) meets statutory requirements related to Impact Fees, Capital Improvement Programming, and Budgeting. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.For purposes of the CIP, a “Capital Expenditure” is defined as any expenditure for land, land improvements, infrastructure, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, or equipment costing more than $10,000. Costs related to project pre-development such as studies, surveys, concept plans, designs, preliminary engineering, and engineering shall be included as Capital Expenditures. Yearly and more frequent maintenance costs of capital infrastructure (assets) are operational and are not Capital Expenditures. Every attempt will be made to aggregate similar items into a single Capital Expenditure. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. The CIP for the City shall list and describe projected Capital Expenditures for each of the following ten years with an emphasis on the first five years and shall be updated annually. The City Manager’s designee shall prepare the CIP for review and adoption by the City Council in accordance with 24 V.S.A. §§ 4430, 4443. The first year of the CIP shall serve as the Capital Improvement Budget for the following fiscal year. At a minimum, the CIP submitted for review and adoption by the City Council shall provide, for each Capital Expenditure: (1) a description of the proposed project, including the justification, need, lifecycle, and the estimated total cost of the project; (2) the proposed method of financing, indicating the amount proposed to be financed by the general fund, special funds, capital funds, enterprise funds, issuance of debt obligations (showing the proposed type or types of obligations, cost and term) and whether these funds are reserve funds, impact fees, grants or other funding sources; (3) an estimate of the effect, if any, upon operating costs of the City; and (4) an assigned priority ranking. PROGRAM UPDATES AND BUDGET APPROVAL.The City Manager’s designee shall prepare annually an update of the CIP during each budget cycle for review by the City Council. The CIP shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure outlined in 24 V.S.A. § 4443. The first year of the CIP shall serve as the Capital Improvement Budget for the following fiscal year. RESERVE FUNDS.In conjunction with the City’s annual budget development, the City Council shall propose funding of reserve funds created in accordance with 24 V.S.A. § 2804 and the City 39 | P a g e Charter to accumulate resources to pay for items so designated in the CIP. The use of such reserve funds should minimize large fluctuations in the tax rate and will reduce the need for incurring additional debt. PRIORITY. The CIP shall indicate the priority for each project by indicating the year in which it is planned to take place. Adopted by the CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL on the _18_ day of _June_, 2012. From: Andrew Bolduc, Deputy City Manager Martha Machar, Finance Officer To: South Burlington City Council Subjects: Updated FY22 Surplus Report and Requests for Surplus Funding Date: August 12, 2022 Updated FY22 Surplus Report As presented to Council during the second regular Council meeting in July, the department- specific financial narratives and a full end of year financial report will be presented to Council during the second regular September council meeting when the financial books are closed at the end of this month. While there are still a few outstanding invoices and receipts, such as local options tax May and June installments, we are currently at a $1.2M surplus and projecting we could end FY22 above $1.5M pending LOT receipts. While the City is experiencing a second straight year of over $1M in surplus, unique from FY21 is the City’s fund balance is now in much healthier position because of Council’s action at the close of FY21. As a reminder, the City’s fund balance policy targets a minimum balance of one month or 8.33% of annual operating expenditures and a target balance of two months, or 16.66%. As of today, the City’s fund balance maintains a minimum balance of 8.33% at $2.1M. Requests for Surplus Funding Below, you will find two lists, one is a short list of items we are tracking for Council consideration when the fiscal year is closed in September, followed by three items for your immediate consideration. For further discussion at close of FY23: • Climate Action Plan implementation in FY23 • Additional funding for the Dorset Street Signals project o This is going out to bid this month. Initial projections indicate this project may cost as much as 4 times prior estimates. If projections hold, the City will need around $1M in additional funding to bridge the budget shortfall. • Reducing SB pension plan long-term liability o The SB Pension Advisory Committee passed a motion at its latest meeting to recommend addition funds, if available, be added to the City’s FY22 annual contribution. • Contribution to fund balance to provide contingency funding for FY23 foreseen deficits, such as: o CPI/Inflation Impacts (Collective bargaining agreements, materials and energy costs, etc.) o Lost lease revenue at 19 Gregory Drive Requests for Surplus Funding: Possible Action Request #1 – Trinity Education Center, Inc. FY23 request from Dr. Childs At the close of FY21, Council approved an $11,000 funding request from Dr. Travia Childs to support the creation of the INFIITE Youth, Trinity Education Center. This was funded with FY21 surplus in the form of a grant. Please see attached request from Dr. Childs for $13,000 in additional funding this year. Request #2 – Fire and Ambulance Department request for purchases of replacement equipment In the attached memo, Chief Locke requests funding from the FY22 general fund surplus to purchase several items that need immediate replacement. Management recommends allocating funds for these purposes. Request #3 – FY23 Spring paving projects. Due to high inflation, paving costs have increased significantly. The contract for Dorset Street paving used the majority of the FY23 paving budget. In order to accomplish spring paving projects as well as nimbly respond to urgent needs following the winter season, management recommends assigning $200,000 of FY22 Surplus to paving projects. Please consider each request and, if approved, approve through formal motion. April 29, 2022 Dear Jessie Baker, Last year, 2021, Trinity Educational Center, Inc. (TEC) received seed money from the city for $11,000. That seed money facilitated the opening of the Infinite Youth Center. As you are aware, TEC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and a Vermont registered Domestic Non-profit Corporation. Trinity Educational Center, Inc.'s mission is to provide youth and young adults in the community with a safe, inclusive, educational, and empowering space. At TEC, young people are encouraged to develop their strengths and talents to better themselves and our larger community. TEC strives to empower youth to find their strength, giving them the ability to say no to drug and alcohol use versus just telling them that the right thing to do is to say no. TEC believes there is an extreme and powerful difference between the two. Nearly everyone understands that drugs have negative consequences. Still, not all youth recognize that they have a choice, especially in Chittenden County communities where drug (opioids, marijuana) and alcohol use continue to increase, contributing to lifetime use of drugs and alcohol. Soon it will be a year since we began operations, and it has been an incredible journey. We appointed our first Infinite Youth Council, which includes a President, VP, Treasurer, and Events Coordinator. The youth facilitated a Chili Community Event and created over 100 gift bags, and they are excited about helping the SB community. We depleted our tissue paper inventory; I grabbed my wallet to give a student the money, and one youth said keep your money, and before I could say no, she said, please let me help. Our youth are extraordinary, loud, energetic, and enjoy eating, and they are my happy place. I am usually closed on Sundays, but the Sunday before the SBHS Talent Show, Raphaella (SBHS Junior), sent me a message on Instagram asking me if they could practice at Infinite. I was so excited, I opened and ordered pizza. Trinity Educational Center, Inc. University Mall 155 Dorset Street #D25 South Burlington, VT ∞ 05403 Email: tec@trinityedcenter.org www.trinityedcenter.org 802.777.8080 (Office) 802.419.8248 (Fax) Due to the consequences of the pandemic, our students have gaps in the academic environment, TEC wants to support academic learning at Infinite. It is troubling that some of our 9th graders cannot spell simple words and or write letters. As a past high school science teacher and currently a Professor, I have the expertise to create learning plans while integrating fun. Furthermore, I have a few teachers willing to tutor, especially in the summer month. After reviewing the Excel spreadsheet, you notice that I included Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) Projects, and are crucial beginning in middle school. STEM projects are fun, require critical thinking and some are expensive but important for preparing our youth for their future. We plan to integrate as many skills as possible, such as science projects, library treasure hunts, math games, Sudoku, and fraction dice. We need additional monetary support to continue serving SB youth (increasing participation). 1. TEC asks the City for funds of $13,000 (See SB City spreadsheet, tab 2. Also, in the same Excel spreadsheet, tab 1 is the allocation of the seed money from 2021. 2. Sustainability TEC was founded on June 13, 1997, and we remained operable based on grants and donations. During the months after receiving the seed money, we received donations and a $400O grant, including a significant contribution from Joe and Jennifer Larkin. I am a member of the SB Rotary Club and receive funding from the Rotary Club Foundation. Moreover, I am working with a professional grant writer (one of the youth’s moms) who donates her time and United Way assistance. 3. Partnerships a. AALV (New Americans) Youth Development Program b.

South Burlington Fire Department 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 (802) 846-4110 Fax (802) 846-4125 To: Jessie Baker, City Manager From: Steven A. Locke, Fire Chief RE: FY 22 Surplus Fund Request Date: August 5, 2022 The Fire Department is requesting $59,125.00 from the FY22 general fund surplus to purchase several items that need replacement. The following is a detailed breakdown of each expenditure, and they are listed in order of priority. Gladly discuss any questions you may have. Mattresses $6,000 – this will replace the mattresses (15) that are in use at both Station 1 and Station 2. As you may be aware, these are used for crew rest every night and the mattresses are well beyond worn out. Members report both sleeping on the floor or bringing in air mattresses due to the current mattress condition. Washer/Dryer $2,200 – the washer and dryer at Station One are simply worn out and staff have worked hard to keep them going. It is important to understand that our staff launder all uniform components at the station and are not cleaned by a professional service as is done tin the Police Department. It is important that our members not take potentially contaminated clothing home to clean. Fitness Equipment $13,000 – fitness is extremely important in the firefighting profession, and we expect our firefighters to be prepared for the extreme rigors of the job. In fact, the collective bargaining agreement with the firefighter’s union, requires annual fitness assessments. This funding supports the purchase of two commercial grade treadmills and one rowing machine. PPE Gear Cleaner $17,925 – the Department is requesting funding to purchase an extractor to clean our dirty/contaminated personal protective clothing (PPE). These gear cleaners are now considered basic equipment in every fire station and are a necessary component of any health and safety program. Firefighters face an increased likelihood of cancer from being exposed to carcinogens and requiring PPE to be cleaned after every event is a must. Currently the Department uses a commercial grade washing machine that is over 20 years old. Uniforms $20,000 – I am looking for additional funding for uniform components. We currently have members wearing a variety of clothing and consistently among the crew is non-existent. These funds would be used to purchase components (sweatshirts, t-shirts, uniform shirts) once a policy is developed.
