Nowak, Chair; H. Riehle, M. Emery, T. Chittenden ALSO PRESENT: K. Dorn, City Manager; T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; Chief D. Brent, Fire Department; Deputy Chief T. Francis, Fire Department; B. Paquette, B. Melizia, L. O’Farrell, D. Curran 1. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: No changes were made to the Agenda. 2. Comments & Questions from the public not related to the agenda: There were no issues raised. 3. Announcements and City Manager’s Report: Mr. Dorn: Noted the installation of the City Hall logo and recognized Mr. Hubbard for his work on the City Hall projects. He also noted that the Rotary will be back soon to do more planting. The Master Planning & Visioning Task Force meeting will be a week from Thursday. They are preparing a survey and are aiming for a presentation to the Steering Committee in early June. Committee reports to the Council are taking place with the Natural Resources Committee at this meeting, the Planning Commission on 4 May, and committees that fall under Parks and Recreation on the 18th of May. As the Legislative session winds down, Mr. Dorn said it would be a good idea to have another Legislative breakfast, and they are looking at 4 May. Ms. Riehle asked for an update on the new water quality legislation. Mr. Dorn suggested having Mr. Rabidoux come in and do that. Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended. 4. Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursement b. Approve Minutes for 6 April 2015 meeting c. Approve Grant Requests: Ecosystem Restoration Program Grant VLCT 2015 PACIF Equipment Grant Ms. Emery moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 5. March Financial Report: Mr. Hubbard reported that 75% through the fiscal year revenues are at 86% of projections. The city will still be receiving one more installment of the local option tax in August (this will be pro-rated for FY15). Ambulance billing is on track as are revenues and expenditures for water, sewage and stormwater. Legal costs for the Burlington Airport appeal are still high. Most major bond payments were made in April. There will be a pension payment due in May and the loan payment to the Merchants Bank on the first of June. Overtime for both Police and Fire Departments is still a challenge, but they are doing their best to keep costs in line. Public Works is $60,000 over the projection for the salt budget. Interviews are scheduled on 1 May for Auditor. Two applications have been received to date; the city is hoping for 3 or 4. The Pension Advisory Committee will meet on the 28th at 2 p.m. and will be receiving the quarterly report from SEI. Ms. Emery asked about the Dental and Health Banks. Mr. Hubbard explained the process and how funds are paid out. 6. Report from & discussion with the Natural Resources Committee: Ms. Melizia said the major part of their work at present is the Wheeler Property Management Plan. This will be brought to the Council in June. Ms. Melizia cited the importance of collaboration with other committees, especially the Recreation Committee and Energy Committee. Work with outside groups is also important. Collaboration with “Stream Team” has resulted in promotion of rain barrels. There will also be water sampling of streams on the Wheeler property. There are also groups of UVM students who come to the Wheeler property to do projects. The Committee now has 5 members. They would like the Council to fill the 2 vacant spots to bring them up to the usual 7 members. Ms. Melizia asked what process there is to fill a position that becomes vacant “mid‐stream.” She felt it would be good to fill it when the vacancy occurs instead of waiting for the new fiscal year. Future focus of the Committee will be further collaboration with other committees, providing input to the city regarding use of the Wheeler property, and developing a policy for purchase of open space through the Open Space Fund. Ms. Nowak asked why the Wheeler plan was put on the shelf for so long. Ms. Melizia said the Committee was asked to do an evaluation for the proposed land swap and they also became the Open Space Committee under Interim Zoning. Mr. Chittenden asked how the Committee feels about using Open Space Fund money for maintenance. Ms. Melizia said that hasn’t come to the Committee yet, but she personally finds it exciting. Ms. Riehle encouraged the Committee to think about the skill sets and interests that are appropriate for Committee members. Ms. Nowak agreed and cited the need to capitalize on the wealth of talent in the city. Mr. Paquette asked if there will be a recommendation on dealing with invasive species. Ms. Melizia said there will be, and it may require “rolling up sleeves” and getting some help. 7. Presentation on encouraging litter removal by businesses and the public: Mr. Paquette said the city should set “litter free” standards and expect compliance. This should involve collaboration between city offices, businesses, non- profits, residents, etc. Those who help in this effort should also be commended. Mr. Paquette cited the “fallout” of interest after Green‐Up Day, and said that people are more apt to drop litter in a location that is already litter filled. He felt cleanliness should be a “South Burlington norm.” Mr. Paquette then read several proposed ordinances related to litter removal and commendation for those who manage Green Up Day and support a litter-free city. Ms. Nowak said some items are easy to manage, especially the kudos. She noted the problem with setting fines for littered properties which might be litter-free one day and litter-strewn the next. 8. First Reading of Proposed Electrical Safety Ordinance and Consider setting a public hearing for final passage on 18 May 2015 or another date as directed by the Council: Chief Brent noted that the City Manager had gotten a call regarding the time-sensitive need for an electrical inspection, and was concerned because there was, at that time, nothing he could do to help the caller. The Chief said he has been thinking about that ever since. He said that State inspectors do a great job, but there are only 2 of them for this region. The suggestion is to have the city enact its own ordinance and have its own Inspector. The ordinance would follow state regulations, and people would be charged what the state charges. Regulations would be enforced on a local level. Chief Brent noted that inspections are not required on single family residences but are required for multi-family buildings. The Chief noted that often fire and electrical inspections can be done at the same time, so the inspectors can learn from each other. Ms. Riehle asked if any communities have added more stringent regulations. The Chief said he didn’t know of any. Ms. Riehle suggested the city go forward with this, and if there is anything that needs to be addressed to look into it. Ms. Emery moved to warn a public hearing on a proposed electrical safety ordinance for Monday, 18 May 2015. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 9. Consider submission of application for renewal of State New Town Center Designation: Mr. Dorn explained that the city has to apply for renewal every 5 years. Ms. Emery moved to authorize staff to submit the application for renewal of the city’s New Town Center designation for City Center. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 10. Update on Shared Services discussion: Mr. Dorn reviewed the history. He noted that he and Mr. Hubbard have been meeting with representatives of surrounding communities to see how services can be shared in order to save money. Some services are already being shared (e.g., CCTA, CWD, etc.), and there is a lot of commonality of services and how those services are delivered. Mr. Dorn said the discussions are going well, and they are looking at a model that has been approved by the State Legislature. Stormwater is a major area of interest as well as impaired waterways. These issues may be able to be addressed collectively. Recommendations will be coming to the City Council in a few months. 11. Update on Branding Study: Mr. Dorn reported that there was a meeting with a prospective consultant last fall. The aim is to understand “who we are, how others see us, etc.” The specific aim is to do some branding regarding City center and more broadly what South Burlington is about (values, etc.). There will be some community outreach in May, which is excellent timing as the city will be celebrating its 150th anniversary. Ms. Nowak cited the wonderful things “branding” has done for Waterbury. Mr. Dorn noted that effort got national attention. 12. Other Business: a. Items Held from Consent Agenda: Mr. Hubbard presented an invoice for payment to the State of Vermont for portions of the marriage license fees due. The payment is about $650. This was inadvertently omitted from the disbursements. Ms. Emery moved to approve payment to the State of Vermont as presented. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 13. Liquor Control Board: Ms. Riehle moved the Council convene as Liquor Control Board. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Members considered the following Liquor License Renewals: First Class Licenses: Wooden Spoon Bistro, Zen Garden, Doubletree Hotel, Vermont National Country Club, Moose Lodge #1618, Higher Ground, Pulcinella’s Rotisserie, Uno’s, Osaka Hana, Inc., Junior’s, Olive Garden, Eagles Club, Chicken Charlie’s, Tilt Arcade & Ale House, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Growler Garage Second Class Licenses: Maplefield’s, Trader Joe’s, Mill Market & Deli, Bourne’s Service Center, K‐Mart, Jiffy Mart, Walgreen’s, Growler Garage Outside Consumption: Vermont National Country Club, Pulcinella’s, Franny O’s, Junior’s, Eagles Club (2), Growler Garage Members agreed to handle Growler Garage separately in all categories. Ms. Riehle moved to approve the First Class, Second Class and Outside Consumption liquor licenses as presented minus those for Growler Garage. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Ms. Nowak noted that she visited the Growler Garage property and felt there is a way to safely cordon off an outside area. Ms. Curran said her concern is with the curb stops. Mr. O’Farrell, owner of Growler Garage, said he was OK with doing something to make the area safe, possibly some bollards. Mr. Hubbard reminded the Council that ultimately the logistics will be the decision of the Zoning Administrator. Ms. Curran noted that Growler Garage is allowed 2 outdoor entertainment events with alcohol per year. Mr. Chittenden then moved to approve the First Class, Second Class and Outside Consumption liquor licenses for Growler Garage as presented. Ms. Riehle seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Regarding the entertainment permit for Growler Garage, Ms. Curran (owner of the adjacent property) said both of her tenants have concerns with the noise from the entertainment. Customers are complaining, and in some cases are leaving. The Council had asked both sides of the issue to get together to set up a schedule. Mr. O’Farrell said they have agreed to have no live entertainment on Monday‐Friday until 7 p.m. The issue remaining is Saturday. Growler Garage would like to have live entertainment from 3 p.m. as it is a big day for them. The owner of the Hair Salon said her environment should be relaxing, but the music from Growler Garage comes through the wall. It is even worse when they leave the door open. She added that they tend to be busy on Saturday, especially with wedding parties. Mr. Chittenden suggested a compromise of 5 p.m. Mr. O’Farrell said they aren’t breaking any rules. Ms. Nowak suggested moderating the volume before 7 p.m. Mr. O’Farrell said they have turned down the volume when asked. Ms. Emery suggested soundproofing. Ms. Curran said she would look into that. Ms. Riehle said they should be “good business people” and work out their differences. Mr. Dorn noted the city does have a nuisance ordinance which can be enacted if 2 or more members of the public file a complaint. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Ms. Riehle moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works.

Chief Brent will discuss this at the next meeting. The kickoff for the Chamberlin/Airport Planning Committee will take place on Wednesday. The City/Schools Master Planning meeting will be on Thursday, 5 p.m. at City Hall. Removal of hazardous materials from the homes to be demolished by the Airport will begin next week. Additional lighting will be installed in the front and rear of City Hall. It is hoped that the city logo will go on the building in the next few weeks. There will be more plantings as the weather improves. The Natural Resources Committee will meet with the City Council on 20 April and the Planning Commission on the first meeting in May. Other committees will be scheduling meeting times with the Council as well. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 2 Council members reported on meetings and events they had attended. 4. Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursement b. Approve Minutes for 16 March and 26 March c. Police Station lease and fit‐up resolution d. Designate Maggie Leugers, Rec. Dir., as City Representative to DPSA Board e. Approve Grant request for State Class 2 Town Highway Program Ms. Emery had a question regarding the 16 March minutes and asked that they be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Mr. Shaw moved to approve the Consent Agenda minus the 16 March minutes. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 5. Drawing for 2015 Top Dog and First Feline: Ms. Kinville noted the city had a record number of registrations for both cats and dogs this year. The Top Dog and First Feline winners were then drawn and will be notified. Ms. Kinville acknowledged the sponsors who have donated prizes for the winning animals. She also explained safety concerns that make registration of cats and dogs important. 6. East Terrace/Spear Street Neighborhood Discussion: Ms. Nowak noted the proposed resolution will not be addressed at this meeting as the City Attorney is researching some issues relating to fair housing. The Council then recognized Mr. Soudars, the representative of one of the property owners. He said he manages 5 houses on the street and tries to address the neighborhood issues. He takes care of lawns and property upkeep. He indicated he is willing to work with a task force. Mr. Shaw asked if there are differences between the properties managed in Burlington and South Burlington. Mr. Soudars said there are no problems in Burlington, and this is the first problem he has dealt with. He noted his vehicle was ticketed when he was there to deal with a frozen pipe issue. Ms. Nowak asked if Mr. Soudars is aware of the limitation on the number of “unrelated people living in a unit.” Mr. Soudars said the owner is out of the country. Ms. Nowak said that when Mr. Soudars speaks with him to tell him that if there are 6 unrelated people living in any of the houses he owns, there is a violation. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 3 Residents of the East Terrace/Spear Street area were then invited to address the Council. Rep. Head: Noted the changes in the neighborhood in the 23 years she has lived there. 34% of the housing is now rentals, occupied by students and young adults. There have been some good relations but also concerns, especially parking and noise. She felt this was worthy of City Council attention. Ms. Selkirk: She and her husband rent one of the houses on East Terrace. Their landlord is on the premises. She noted many more renters over the past few years. During a snowstorm, cars were parked on the sidewalk, and there are often 3 or 4 cars blocking sidewalks. Garages have been turned into living space. One student resident told her she “had to get used to living in a college town.” Mrs. Damm: The students next door are “messy but OK.” She misses the young families with children growing up in the neighborhood. Ms. Nowak noted she had spoken with a mortgage person who advised that one house that has been rented has been purchased by a family. J. St. Hilaire: Has many friends among the renters. Is willing to serve on the task force. S. Quest: Property companies are willing to pay more than young families can. When older homeowners die, their homes are being sold to be rented. Mr. Wah: Asked why the city allows homes to be converted into 6 bedrooms. The city shouldn’t give permits for converting garages into a bedroom. Each of the bedrooms is rented for over $700 a month. He felt owners should be taxed based on the income from their properties. Mr. Conner: Explained that the Planning Department asks for a description of the project to be done. Two parking spaces per rental unit is a requirement. Ms. Dooley: Noted the problem with affordable housing in the city. She also noted there used to be as many as 70 children on the street, but the houses have now become “cash cows,” and young families lose the opportunity to buy houses. If they could buy a house now, they would have to spend a great deal of money to re‐convert them from the rentals. Ms. Dumas: The family near them was replaced by renters who park where and when they shouldn’t. There are rude comments. Motor bikes go up and down the street all day. There are at least 6 renters next door, and one car is on the lawn or sidewalk. The snow plow has to go around them. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 4 Mr. Betz: Asked how long 4 unrelated people have been allowed in a home. Mr. Conner said more than 6 years ago. Ms. Dooley estimated the year 2000. Mr. Betz asked if there have been any prosecutions for violators. Mr. Conner said staff communicates with owners but to date hasn’t taken anyone to court. Mr. Betz suggested talking to Will Ward who does code enforcement for the City of Burlington. He also noted that it is cheaper for students to rent in town than to live in University housing, and this will be a problem as long as that situation exists. Ms. Nowak reminded people that owners do have a right to convert a property to a rental property, but they have to live within the law. She said the task force process will be an open one and will include people from both sides of the issue. She stressed the need to look at what is legally allowed. Council members were OK with setting up a time to begin the task force process. Mr. Chittenden said he is willing to represent the Council on that task force. 7. UVM Housing and Planning Presentation by UVM Provost Annie Stevens: Ms. Nowak noted the Council’s concern with the 3 UVM dorms that are coming down and the possibility of more pressure on South Burlington housing. Ms. Stevens reviewed UVM’s master housing plan and showed a chart of how the plan was put together. The major assumption is that 60% of students will be housed on campus. All first and second year students will be required to live on campus; there will also be campus housing for transfer students and international students. Some of the major principles of the housing plan include a better alignment between housing types and the different stages of student development, providing more and better community spaces to enhance the vitality of campus life, and “knitting” the campus together with a “Green Mountain Walkway.” Ms . Stevens said they recognize that “one size housing” doesn’t fit all. There will also be a focus on “living/learning communities with more opportunities for co‐ curricular and social interaction. The major findings of the housing study included: a. Location of central campus housing is highly prized b. Sophomores prefer Redstone Campus c. Juniors and seniors have a strong preference for “downtown living” d. Different housing types have different attractions e. Trinity Campus is not appropriate for most undergraduates CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 5 f. Residential living communities are will regarded Some of the recommendations of the study include: a. Enhance the Green Mountain Walkway b. Demolish obsolete buildings c. Focus on the first year d. Enhance existing housing e. Build on the successful sophomore experience Ms. Stevens said that the next steps include: community input, replacing the 3 dorms that are coming down, and development of a final document. Ms. Stevens then showed the site plan for the proposed first year student housing and dining service. It will contain 450‐695 beds and dining for 500. There will be handicapped parking and limited student parking. It will connect to the UVM transportation system. Occupancy is anticipated on 1 August 2017. Ms. Stevens also showed the site for the new math/science/technology building. Temporary housing will be needed for the 391 students who will be displaced when the 3 dorms come down. 120 of them will be housed at Quarry Hill, 110‐120 in one wing of the Sheraton Hotel, and the balance in reconfigured campus housing. There will be bus loop for students living at the Sheraton. The 3 dorms will come down this summer, and ground will be broken for the new dorm in the fall. Ms. Quest asked if UVM is still buying houses on Spear Street. Ms. Kingsbury said they would consider any houses that are on their list, but there is no priority for UVM at this time. Ms. Nowak asked what the philosophy of responsibility is to communities in which students live since 40% of UVM students live off‐campus. Ms. Stevens said they try to educate students about a good quality of life and of being respectful. There is an office that works with neighbors and students. 8. Approve Recommended Concepts for Garden Street and Dumont Park Design: Ms. Blanchard said the city is about 1/3 of the way through the process. Mr. Rafael, consultant for the projects, then reviewed the process for choosing a design. He showed the existing site conditions, including the wetland area. He also showed the resource inventory map. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 6 The purpose and need statement which Mr. Rafael read focuses on enhancing the park’s features and having the area serve the needs of residents, visitors, etc. There were 4 design alternatives which included a circulation concept. Mr. Rafael showed the preferences from public input including amenities, paths, natural play area, native woodland, plantings to enhance the landscaping, and wetland restoration. The preferred alternative is an amalgamation of the best of all the plans. Mr. Rafael showed this plan and the details of the access point. One recommendation is for the city to purchase the property to the immediate left of Dumont Park (2.5 acres). Ms. Nowak noted this discussion would have to take place in Executive Session. Mr. Guyette, Project Manager for Garden Street, reviewed the process to this point. The major themes of the road are traffic calming and the creation of “gathering spaces.” The purpose and need statement includes transportation and intersection improvements. Mr. Guyette then showed the recommended alignment of Garden Street and the preferred street design including sidewalks, parking, 10‐foot travel lanes, and a 10‐foot cycle track. He noted that South Burlington Realty has asked for more on‐street parking. An alternate design allows for more parking by moving the greenbelt. Mr. Guyette also showed alternatives for entry at Midas Drive, one alternative with a landscaped median and one with a park‐like feature on one side of the road. They plan to proceed with the median plan. Mr. Chittenden asked if there has been consideration to what could happen is Central School is sold. Ms. Blanchard said they have. Mr. Shaw moved to approve the Resolution for the Dumont Park project as presented. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. Mr. Shaw moved to approve the alignment and conceptual street for Garden Street. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 9. Appoint Council member to serve on the Interview Committee for Auditor: Mr. Hubbard noted the city goes to an RFP about every 3‐5 years. The committee will be interviewing about 5 firms sometime in late April. Mr. Chittenden expressed interest in serving on this committee. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 7 Mr. Shaw moved to appoint Councilor Chittenden to serve on the Interview Committee for Auditor. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 10. Follow‐up Discussion on Underwood Property Task Force Report: Mr. Hubbard said the question is how to begin addressing what to do with the property. He directed attention to the list of possible actions. He said the one with the most impact would be to borrow $1,500,000 and have the interest paid for from the Open Space Fund. Ms. Nowak noted concern with funding for the upkeep of Underwood, Red Rocks and Wheeler properties. Mr. Chittenden said he would like to hear more from the public, but borrowing the money makes sense to him. Mr. Shaw stressed that lack of maintenance can come back and bite the city (e.g., City Hall). He felt this was a good way to be frugal and action oriented. Ms. Quest cited the concern with doing something on the Underwood property this summer. She said Common Roots could bring students down and plant things. Ms. Nowak said staff can be asked to look into that. Members were OK with the concept. 11. Consideration of motion pursuant to 19VSA, Section 708(a) to initiate proceedings to discontinue an approximately 5’x345’ portion of Market Street right‐of‐way: Mr. Conner reviewed the history and said this will allow porches to be built on housing units at the gateway to City Center and will also allow for more screening behind the homes. He added that Public Works is OK with the plan. Ms. Nowak read the following motion: that the City Council, pursuant to 19 V.S.A., Section 708(a), commence the process of discontinuing a portion of the town highway right‐of‐way for Market Street (Town Highway No. 228) both by scheduling an examination of the Premises on May 18th at 6:30 p.m. and a public hearing on the discontinuance to follow at City Hall on May 18th at 7:00 p.m. and by directing the City Attorney or his designee to provide notice of the examination of the premises and public hearing on the discontinuance to all those entitled to notice pursuant to 19 V.S.A. , Section 209. The portion of the right‐of‐way proposed to be discontinued is a roughly 5’x345’ strip of the right‐of‐way located along the southerly side of Market Street (Town Highway No. 228) extending westerly from Market Street’s intersection CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 8 with Hinesburg Road (VT Route 116). Mr. Shaw moved to approve the motion as read. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 12. Designate The Other Paper as “Paper of Record” and the Burlington Free Press the backup Paper of Record: Ms. Emery moved to designate The Other Paper as “Paper of Record” and the Burlington Free Press as backup “Paper of Record.” Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 13. Liquor Control Board: Ms. Emery moved that the Council convene as Liquor Control Board. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. a. Special Event permit – VT Spirits @ Higher Ground (4/23/15) b. Entertainment permits – Venue Nightclub, Sheraton, Growler Garage, Higher Ground, Moose Lodge, Franny O’s c.

Variety, Sheraton (2), Franny O’s, Homewood Suites, Venue (with conditions): Ms. Curran expressed concern with Growler’s Garage band music. She owns the hair salon next door and noted that the music heard through the dividing wall is very disruptive to that business and has actually caused a loss of clientele. The salon is open till 7 p.m. She stressed that she doesn’t want to put Growler’s out of business, but is looking for a compromise in the hours they can have band music. Mr. Hubbard noted that the Zoning Administrator is currently exploring other issues with Growler’s. He recommended pulling both the entertainment permit and liquor license from the list of approvals until the issues can be resolved. He suggested that any issues be reported to the City Manager before the next meeting. CITY COUNCIL, 6 APRIL 2015, PAGE 9 Ms. Curran also noted that Growler’s has applied for outdoor seating and showed pictures of the area. She felt there is a safety concern for patrons with what is proposed. Ms. Nowak said staff can look into this as well. Members agreed to pull the 2 Growler’s Garage applications from the list of those being considered. Mr. Chittenden then moved to approve the entertainment permits and first and second class liquor licenses as presented, minus the Growler’s Garage. Mr. Shaw seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. Mr. Shaw moved to reconvene as City Council. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. 14. Other Business: A. Items Held from Consent Agenda Ms. Emery questioned the item in the 16 March minutes regarding membership of the committee to determine what to do with the prize money should the city win Georgetown prize. Ms. Nowak said the Energy Committee was to come back with a list of groups from which to draw the members of that committee. Ms. Emery then moved to approve the 16 March minutes as written. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4‐0. Ms. Nowak reminded members of the lunch on Friday for the Public Works Department and hoped as many Council members as possible could attend. Mr. Hubbard noted that Larry Michaels is doing OK after a recent serious accident. Mr. Chittenden asked if it is OK for the Rotary to advertise on Front Porch Forum the date of the City Fest (October 15) to celebrate the city’s 150th anniversary.

I offer you here tonight, a proposal for South Burlington ordinances and resolutions pertaining to litter control. This paper argues that the City of South Burlington should set clean city, litter free business standards, and litter control management processes, and measurements to ensure year round compliance, and constant improvement. Purpose: (A) The purpose of these ordinances is, to set standards and regulations for the control of litter in South Burlington; to set a bold and forefront path to a standout‐clean Community. (B) It is the purpose of these proposed ordinances to help preserve the public health, safety, and economic well being of South Burlington, by requiring businesses to manage their properties in such a manner as to keep them clean (free of litter) year round. The control of litter will have a lasting effect upon the city’s environment and appearance and earn South Burlington businesses and community, the highly valued Vermont clean branding. Ask yourselves, why should we be tolerant of littered trash that degrades our city’s image? Clean City Proposal 2 Proposal Summary: I. Fortify the Vermont clean brand within South Burlington by directing all South Burlington businesses to maintain litter free properties year round. II. Initiate a 1multi‐faceted approach and management plan to eradicate or at least reduce litter in South Burlington, year round, for the sake of the health, and the economy of our community. III. Stimulate collaboration between the city offices and businesses, non‐ profits, schools, and citizens in order to expand litter picking and litter prevention activities in our South Burlington communities. IV. Commend those who support or take direct action(s) to help maintain a clean South Burlington environment. This memorandum covers multiple points, to which I hope will favor this council to rule in support of the proposed ordinances and resolutions. Following each ‘whereas’ are arguments and analysis in favor of the proposed ordinance. 1 A multi‐faceted approach is necessary to maintain a litter free community. When education (information, knowledge), enforcement (penalizing offenders) and engineering (making it easy and convenient) are integrated, attitude and behavior change are more likely to occur simultaneously. Clean City Proposal 3 Proposed Ordinance LC‐1 Whereas, although there is a focus on removing littered trash from our landscape on Green Up Day and during spring planting; unfortunately, outside those periods, there is a cumulative fall out of trash, which adds blight to the South Burlington business district and to our community overall. Whereas, The Vermont image is described as pure, natural, beautiful and includes respect of the environment. Whereas, according to The Vermont Brand, a study by the O’Neil Strategy Group, a brand is a set of strong associations’ people have with a product, place or service. Brands exist in peoples’ minds, not in the product, place or service‐itself. These associations are really expectations people have for that product, place or service. Whereas, businesses must constantly earn the valuable ‘Clean’ branding that Vermont conveys. Whereas, littered trash is a detriment to both the health and the economy of our community. Whereas, although some people view littered trash as the status quo. Some may have just stopped being conscious of the food packaging, plastic, and other littered trash. This does not make it benign, or an isolated or inconsequential problem. Whereas, studies have shown that litter begets litter. That is, in general people are less apt to drop litter if the area is litter free, and more apt to drop litter at an area that is already littered. Whereas, many share the opinion that ignoring littered trash is a behavior untrue to Vermont values and expect businesses to align maintaining a clean litter‐free on site environment, with other business objectives. Whereas we encourage businesses to brand litter picking as a community building activity; helping to create cleanliness as a South Burlington social norm. Clean City Proposal 4 Whereas, a litter free community would be a social and economic benefit to South Burlington. Whereas, we support year round, clean, litter free South Burlington business properties, and public areas such as parks, schools, and roadways. Whereas, electing clean storefronts is a matter of community pride. Moreover, it is a matter of differentiation for South Burlington businesses. Whereas,The State of Vermont Statutes state: the city shall have the powers guaranteed to towns and municipal corporations by the constitution and laws of this state together with all the implied powers necessary to carry into execution all the powers granted; and it may enact ordinances not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the state of Vermont or with this 2charter. Whereas, The general grant of (South Burlington) ordinance‐promulgating authority in section 103 (§ 13‐104. Ordinances; subjects) shall include, but shall not be limited to, the authority: (4) “to adopt and enforce ordinances relating to regulation, licensing or prohibition of the storage and accumulation of garbage, ashes, rubbish, refuse and waste materials; regulation of the removal and disposal of such materials; …”. Contid. On next page 2 The Vermont Statutes Online Title 24 Appendix: Municipal Charters Chapter 13: CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON Amended 2/1/12 Clean City Proposal 5 Let it be Resolved (Ordinance LC‐1) South Burlington businesses will maintain litter free storefronts / business properties, year round in order to protect our water, wildlife, and human health. Meaning businesses will make sure that land under their control and to which the public have access (with or without payment) is kept free from litter and refuse year round. (A) Businesses definition: To include but not limited to, stores, hotels, motels, gas stations, restaurants, bars, and commercial entities. (B) The responsibility for the removal of litter from business properties or receptacles shall be upon the owner(s) of the property or upon the business establishment residing at the property. It is the responsibility of the owners and operators of publicly patronized establishments to maintain their surrounding areas. (C) Business properties/storefronts include parking area, walkways, and green areas. (D) The emphasis is on the consistent and appropriate management of an area to keep it clean, not on frequency of cleaning. (Similar to snow, ice, and leaf litter removal responsibilities.) This is dependent on effective monitoring of environmental conditions and the co‐ordination of a carefully prioritized cleansing regime in response to litter trends, weather patterns and human activity. (E) It is recommended that each business include in its operating procedures a zero litter policy for the outside of the business property similar to its indoor trash on the floor policy. Clean City Proposal 6 (F) The cleanliness grades regarding litter are hereby defined as: 1. Grade A No litter or refuse (requirement on hard surfaces) 2. Grade B Predominantly free of litter apart from a few small items. (acceptable on soft surfaces) 3. Grade C Widespread distribution of litter with minor accumulations. (Unacceptable) 4. Grade D Heavily littered with significant accumulations. (Unacceptable) 5. A grade (A) effectively means that no litter, in any form, is present on the land or parking lot, or walkways. 6. The presence of even one piece of litter or refuse automatically downgrades the environment to grade B. Grade (B) is an acceptable standard for areas with soft or other types of surfaces that are difficult to clean to a grade A. These include grassed and landscaped areas, and terrain such as earth. 7. The presence of litter and refuse that is significant enough to form a few minor accumulations (grade C) or significant accumulations (grade D) on any surface, indicates non‐compliance. Contid. On next page Clean City Proposal 7 (G) Clean up Response times are dictated according to the level of pedestrian and vehicular activity, and the type of land area use (type of business). Each type of land use area has a response time within which the business should return the property to an acceptable standard. 1. High intensity of use (busy public areas, large parking lot may be indicative) 2. Medium intensity of use (Small parking lot (<10 cars) may be indicative.) 3. Low intensity of use (lightly trafficked areas. Offices might be indicative.) 4. Areas with special circumstances (Where issues of health and safety and reasonableness and practicability are dominant considerations when undertaking cleansing operations). See table on next page. Clean City Proposal 8 The table that follows can help you work out how quickly an area should be returned to cleanliness grade A. High intensity of use Medium intensity of use Low Intensity of use Special Circumstances Nature of the area Areas, which, through intense pedestrian and/or vehicular movements, are prone to fluctuations in the litter, refuse, and require both high levels of monitoring and frequent cleaning. Areas affected by moderate levels of pedestrian and vehicular activity and therefore less prone to fluctuations in litter and refuse, usually situated outside retail or commercial activity, but used regularly by members of the public. Areas subject to low or infrequent levels of pedestrian and vehicular activity and therefore less prone to fluctuations in litter and refuse, often located in office space, health facilities. Types of land where issues of health and safety and reasonableness and practicability are dominant considerations when undertaking environmental maintenance work . Maximum response time to restore to Grade A standard if it falls below grade B One Day Two Days One Week 30 Days or as soon as reasonably practical Type of land or area Use Retail Retail All businesses in shared location of more than 2 businesses All businesses in shared location of more than 2 businesses Large grocery store Restaurant, take out, gas stations Restaurant, take out, gas stations Hotel, Motel Bars Bars Commercial Office, Health org. Industrial areas Clean City Proposal 9 (H) Where a litter problem is clearly traced to certain types of business, such as ‘food on the go’ establishments, grocery store (flyers); a local authority can issue a Street Litter Control Notice. This will compel the occupier, or the owner of business or retail premises, to clear up litter and implement measures to prevent the land from continued defacement. (I) Litter Receptacles. To help prevent or reduce litter by pedestrians, the South Burlington City Council recommends that the owners of publicly patronized establishments provide and maintain publicly accessible litter receptacles on their premises. NOTE: I am not proposing penalties for failure to comply with the cleanliness standards and or the actions called for in Resolution L‐1; at least not until 1 year from the time the ordinance originates, giving time for outreach and public announcements of the standards businesses must meet. Contid. On next page Clean City Proposal 10 Proposed Ordinance LC‐2 Whereas, a multi‐faceted approach is necessary to maintain a litter free community. When education (information, knowledge), enforcement (penalizing offenders) and engineering (making it easy and convenient) are integrated, attitude and behavior change are more likely to occur simultaneously. Whereas, the Circle of Prosperity, (first articulated in Vermont back in 1997 by the Vermont Business Round‐table), emphasizes the fact that economic development and healthy communities are a system, involving the collective and sometimes coordinated actions of many individuals, businesses, and institutions. Let it be Resolved: (Ordinance LC‐2) We resolve to collaborate with interested parties such as South Burlington businesses, rotary, schools, and scouts, to explore both public and private initiatives to facilitate picking up litter shortly after occurrence, and address littering behaviors. This includes installing and maintaining more readily accessible trash and recycling containers for the public to deposit litter, recyclables, and cigarette butts at public and business locations. Moreover, to give particular focus to high traffic areas that commonly experience littering in our community. (A) City Council to solicit a volunteer committee. (Perhaps invite a college ‘intern’ to join the committee even if not a SB resident.) (No, I am not volunteering to lead such a committee‐I believe this leadership position requires an extrovert personality. I would however, volunteer to be a member of such a committee). (B) Committee tasked with periodic evaluations and process improvement‐ including: Clean City Proposal 11 1. Litter management reviews: Determine litter control best practices. A. Solicit and encourage business support of litter control measures, best business clean city practices. B. Create incentive programs. (For example, a yearly ‘Golden Broom Award’ for business with best cleanliness, litter‐free results and litter control management processes.) 2. Cleanliness monitoring: Measure cleanliness levels, and assess improvements, over time. A. Business litter scorecard (similar to Health Dept. restaurant food scorecard) Publish quarterly. B. Catalog of Litter surveys: Categorize the litter in sample surveyed areas, and record quantities, types, and percentage of total by type. Utilize data to help determine source of most predominant litter materials. 3. Attitude and awareness: Gather public sentiment on perception of litter in the city, on cleanup activities, and on local business performance against clean standards. 4. Identify solutions for specific; consistent litter issues (For example, escaped grocery store ads/flyers). 5. Publicize cleanliness standards. Inform citizens of the standards of cleanliness they can expect and the action to take if they are dissatisfied. A. Identify the steps to record and deal with the complaint and timescale for responses. Clean City Proposal 12 6. Manage cigarette litter as a specific challenge. (Prevention, education (butts are litter), promote installation of ash containers /cig. butt depositories). 7. Create and present a litter education package to SB students. (or seek to delegate to another group) 8. Encourage and promote the Adopt‐a‐block campaign. Citizens sign up to pick up litter periodically in a public area of the city of their choosing‐for a term of one year. 9. Solicit and Encourage SB school students to create and implement their own litter reduction programs. (Ex. Litter songs, litter online arcade games, Green Up Day Poster and writing contest participation, litter videos, PSA.). 10. Solicit and Encourage nonprofit groups like scouting, and SB Rotary to implement their own litter related programs. 11. Organize ‘Fall Sweep’ campaign for pre‐snow annual citywide litter clean up in November. 12. Encourage SB citizens, especially students to utilize 3‘Litterati’ / instagram as a fun way to clean up litter. 13. Host Red Rocks Beach cleanup event annually. 14. View my 4web page under the ‘Got Talent?’ tab to see more litter cleanup campaign starter ideas. 3 Litterati: 1. Find a piece of litter. 2. Photograph it with Instagram. 3. Hashtag your photo with ‘Litterati’. 4. Throw away, recycle, or compost the piece of litter. Source http://www.litterati.org/ 4 http://www.litterwithastorytotell.blogspot.com/ Clean City Proposal 13 Let it be Resolved (Ordinance LC‐3): We (City Council and City Mgr.) further resolve to take a read out each year in April in order to gauge effectiveness and status of said South Burlington litter reduction initiatives. See next page for proposed resolutions Clean City Proposal 14 Resolutions LC‐4, LC‐5, LC‐6: The purpose of these three resolutions is to commend those who support or take direct action(s) to reduce litter in South Burlington. Whereas, caring, and contribution help build community, Resolution LC‐4: Now therefore let it be resolved, the city of SB City Council and City Manager hereby commend and thank the members of the SBLT (South Burlington Land Trust) for managing the SB Green Up Day drop off site at City Hall, running the ‘Unusual Litter Find’ contest, and for promoting participation in SB Green Up Day. Resolution LC‐5: Now therefore let it be resolved, The city of SB City Council and City Manager hereby commend and thank the businesses and citizens of South Burlington who participate in, and otherwise support South Burlington’s Green Up Day. Resolution LC‐6: Now therefore let it be resolved, we hereby commend and thank the *citizens of South Burlington that have pledged to Adopt‐a‐block, and who pick up litter year round in each their chosen street, park, or other public area within our South Burlington community. *Including but not exclusive of: Marga & Glenn Sproul, Ann Slatery, The Scarpa Family, Kelsey Hudson, Rosanne Greco, Paul Engels, Jane Boisvert, Walter Luchini, Susan Saferstein, Maida Townsend, and Chris Shaw. Clean City Proposal 15 In Conclusion, Many businesses and many citizens of South Burlington demonstrate great pride in our city by picking up litter on both public and private domains, with particular focus on Green Up Day and during spring planting. However, litter is visible throughout the year at many of our city’s business locations. How long litter remains on business properties remains inconsistent without a set of standards and expectations set by the city. Without these standards, litter attracts more litter, debasing the image of South Burlington. Litter free standards serve to support the health of our environment, the health of our citizens, as well as the economy of our city. Citizens expect businesses to earn Vermont’s clean branding continually. Citizens expect SB businesses to advance pride in community by maintaining litter free business properties year round. The City of South Burlington should set clean city, litter free business standards, and litter control management processes, and measurements to ensure year round compliance, and constant improvement. The city should also take an annual read out on a Clean City dept or committee regarding business compliance, litter surveys, best practices, and celebrate successes. As a citizen of South Burlington, I respectfully ask the council members and the city manager to review this analysis, the points of argument, and resolve to implement as is or in similar form. Thank You City Council members and City Manger for consideration of these proposed litter ordinances and resolutions. Let us make our street the cleanest in our city, our city the cleanest city in the state. Are there any further questions? I would also be happy to come back to a future City Council meeting to answer more questions after you have had time to digest the proposals. Clean City Proposal 16 Respectfully submitted, Bernie Paquette, SB VT April 2015 Bernie.paquette@yahoo.com Addendum I have explained the advantages businesses can gain by earning the clean branding through timely removal of litter on their properties. I am not so naïve to think there is not cost of doing so. I do believe the benefits outweigh the cost. However, I understand change can be difficult for individuals and for businesses. In that respect, I offer not my thoughts but those of Seth Godin; which I find applicable to this change of behavior I am suggesting we ask of SB businesses. View the essay on the next page. Clean City Proposal 17 I am ʹanti‐businessʹ, you might be too A hundred and fifty years ago, when people finally began organizing to eliminate child labor in American factories, they were called anti- business. There was no way, the owners complained, that they could make a living if they couldn’t employ ultra-cheap labor. In retrospect, I think businesses are glad that kids go to school--educated workers make better consumers (and citizens). Fifty years ago, when people realized how much damage was being done by factories poisoning our rivers, those supporting the regulations to clean up the water supply were called anti-business. Companies argued that they’d never be able to efficiently produce while reducing their effluent. Today, I think most capitalists would agree that the benefits of having clean air and water more than make up for what it costs to create a place people want to live—the places that haven't cleaned up are rushing to catch up, because what destroys health also destroys productivity and markets. (And it's a good idea). When the bars and restaurants went non-smoking in New York a decade ago, angry trade organizations predicted the death knell of their industry. It turns out the opposite happened. The term anti-business actually seems to mean, “against short-term waste, harmful side effects and selfish shortcuts.” Direct marketers were aghast when people started speaking out against spam, but of course, in the long run, ethical direct marketers came out ahead. If anti-business means supporting a structure that builds a foundation where more people can flourish over time, then sign me up. A more interesting conversation, given how thoroughly intertwined business and social issues are, is whether someone is short-term or long-term. Not all long-term ideas are good ones, not all of them work, but it makes no sense to confuse them with the label of anti-business. Successful businesses tend to be in favor of the status quo (they are, after all, successful and change is a threat) perhaps with a few fewer regulations just for kicks. But almost no serious businessperson is suggesting that we roll back the 'anti-business' improvements to the status quo of 1890. It often seems like standing up for dignity, humanity and respect for those without as much power is called anti-business. And yet it turns out that the long-term benefit for businesses is that they are able to operate in a more stable, civilized, sophisticated marketplace. It’s pretty easy to go back to a completely self-regulated, selfishly focused, Ayn-Randian cut-throat short-term world. But I don’t think you’d want to live there. Seth Godin South Burlington Fire Department 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05403 802-846-4110 To: Members of the South Burlington City Council City Manager Kevin Dorn Deputy City Manager Tom Hubbard From: Douglas S. Brent, Chief of Fire and EMS Date: April 16, 2015 Re: Electrical Inspector Background Since the early 1970’s the State of Vermont has provided Fire Code Inspections, Electrical Inspections, Plumbing Inspections, and Construction Building Plan reviews. Originally this was provided as a service by the Vermont Department of Labor and Industry. Approximately 10 years ago it was transferred to the Vermont Department of Public Safety through the formation of the Division of Fire Safety. As part of the statutory language establishing the State of Vermont oversight of these duties was also included a provision allowing a community to provide their own inspection and enforcement services. This would be accomplished by a written memorandum of understanding between the State of Vermont and the community outlining what services were to be provided at the local level. These agreements dictate what services are to be provided locally and what services the State will retain. Typically the State retains oversight of State owned projects and municipally owned projects. There are many combinations of inspection services provided by approximately 2 dozen communities in Vermont. Examples of those include; fire code enforcement, electrical code enforcement, new construction only, existing buildings only, or plans review. Some communities who maintain inspection agreements are; Burlington, Hartford, Bellows Falls, Putney, Brattleboro, Winooski, Barre, and Montpelier. All M.O.U.’s outline that a community inspection agreement must be as stringent as the State of Vermont code outlines. A local agreement can be more restrictive than state code but cannot be less restrictive. Communities are allowed to set their own rate structure for revenue generation, this is not dictated by the state, nor is there any revenue sharing. As you know two years ago a decision was made by the City of South Burlington to begin providing Fire Code Enforcement by adoption of an ordinance, an M.O.U. with the State, and the hiring of a City Fire Marshal. This project has been more successful than we ever could have imagined. Current Proposal Normally, projects such as this are developed through or as part of the annual budgetary process. However, the nexus of this proposal is borne out of request of our customers and by our desire to be more customer friendly. Our fire code enforcement program and our plan review process have been so well received that the users of these programs have questioned when we might start providing electrical inspection services. These inquiries have been expressed to me, Deputy Chief Francis, and City Manager Dorn during his many meetings with local businessmen and developers. There have been numerous actual examples of customers waiting 5 or 6 weeks to get an electrical inspection done. This illustration is not meant to be disrespectful of the work done by DFS electrical inspectors, just an example of how busy they are due to large service coverage areas and a minimum number of inspectors. The project being proposed is to hire a City of South Burlington electrical inspector. The position would be a fulltime position and would report to the Fire Chief and/or the Fire Marshal. It would also be our intent to have the person learn fire inspection duties to provide assistance to the Fire Marshal and in the future redundancy. Qualifications An electrical inspector in the State of Vermont must hold a Master Electrician License. They must be extremely familiar with the most current version of the Vermont Electrical Safety Rules. It is imperative that the person be very familiar with inspection practices and have had experience working as an electrical inspector. The inspector should be very comfortable with all documentation and required reporting practices associated with being an electrical inspector. Ordinance City Attorney Jim Barlow has drawn up a draft ordinance for electrical inspections. Memorandum Of Understanding The State of Vermont Division of Fire Safety has amended our current MOU and forwarded a draft to us. They have also gone on record as being extremely supportive of us taking on this responsibility. Costs Please see the attached sheet outlining the proposed costs for this position. As outlined the projected costs would be approximately $90,000 per year. Based on inspection numbers passed on to us by the Division of Fire Safety we can anticipate approximately 350 inspections. Officials at DFS have said that having a municipal electrical inspector would generate more inspections than a regional DFS inspector. We expect that this position should be cost/revenue neutral.

This designation, first received in 2009 and then slightly amended in 2010, serves as the underpinning and foundation for the City’s Tax Increment Finance District and Neighborhood Development Area designations. This New Town Center designation must be renewed by the Downtown Board every five (5) years. Staff is proposing that the City submit this application, for the same exact land area as the 2010 designation. Enclosed is a map showing the boundary of the New Town Center. It mirrors that of the TIF District. What is a New Town Center Designation? Vermont Statues include three basic Designations that communities can apply for: Downtowns (for historic downtowns), Villages (for historic villages), and New Town Centers (for planned villages and downtowns). These designations serve as the foundation for many tools and grants at the State level. A municipality seeking to obtain (or retain) TIF District or Neighborhood Development Area approval, for example, must have one of these underlying designations in that physical area first. The designations also provide municipalities with access to certain priority funding on various projects, such as Municipal Planning Grant applications. The New Town Center designation requires that a community demonstrate that it has the tools in place to support and foster a future center, such as appropriate zoning supporting smart growth, sufficient water and wastewater capacity, existing or planned community facilities in the area, and a demonstration of working towards implementation. That commitment includes a very broad agreement between the City and community partners to pursue the goals of the New Town Center. In 2010, this agreement was signed by the City Manager and South 2 Burlington Realty. The same agreement is proposed for re‐submittal, and may this time also include the South Burlington Business Association as a signatory, pending their consideration this week. Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize submittal of the renewed New Town Center application to the Vermont Downtown Board. 14,266 724.7 Natural Resources Atlas Vermont Agency of Natural Resources 9,987 © Vermont Agency of Natural Resources 507.0 1: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere Meters507.00 NOTES Map created using ANR's Natural Resources Atlas LEGEND 254.00 vermont.gov DISCLAIMER: This map is for general reference only.
