Directions on emergency evacuation procedures from conference room: Mr. Dorn provided directions on evacuation procedures should an emergency arise. Mr. Dorn also thanked Coralee Holm who led the effort to revitalize City Hall and dramatically transformed the conference room. 2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: Ms. Riehle asked to add under Other Business a brief discussion regarding the e-mail from the couple in the Chamberlin neighborhood regarding purchase of their home. Ms. Emery asked to add a brief discussion of issues regarding trash removal on bike/rec paths. 3. Consider Entering Executive Session to Discuss an Ongoing Civil Litigation Matter: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of a discussion of the pending civil litigation environmental court enforcement action, to which the public body is a party, would clearly place this public body at a substantial disadvantage. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt moved that the Council enter into executive session for the purpose of discussing the pending civil litigation environmental court enforcement action to which the public body is a party and that Messrs. Dorn, Hubbard and Conner be included in the session. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The Council entered executive session at 6:38 p.m. and resumed open session at 7:00 p.m. 4. Comments & Questions from the public not related to the agenda: Ms. Kinville informed the Council of the receipt of 2 citizen petitions, the first to keep the “Rebel” name, and the second to prohibit public funds from being used to change the name. Ms. Kinville said 710 signatures are needed, and both petitions met that requirement. The petitions will be presented to the School Board at their Wednesday evening meeting. Ms. Greco thanked the Council on behalf of her “top dog” for the award and the donated prizes. Ms. Greco than presented her idea for solving Airport issues. She suggests approaching Senator Leahy to change the Air Guard’s mission to “transport,” which would include such things as flying hospitals, humanitarian missions, etc. She said other cities have done this successfully. Transport planes would make far less noise, save affordable homes, and could bring even more Air Guard jobs to the area. She asked the Council to discuss this proposal at a future meeting and then to send a request to Senator Leahy to support the change of mission. Ms. Greco gave members copies of data from her research and offered to provide references, if requested. 5. Ordinance Codification Project – Second Reading of: a. Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance b. Ordinance to Regulate Parades and Public Events on City Streets c. Ordinance Regarding Private Use of Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places d. Ordinance to Regulate Unmaintained Buildings Mr. Bolduc noting the second reading includes amendments made at the first reading. If approved, the ordinances would go into effect immediately. Mr. Barritt moved to open the public hearing. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Fire Prevention: Mr. Bolduc noted that the smoke alarm amendment was added as item #f. Mr. Chittenden asked if a smoke alarm in a “mother‐in‐law” apartment has to be hard‐wired. Deputy Chief Francis said if the unit is existing, it does not have to be hard-wired; if it is created after today, it does. Chief Brent said that in the “fire world” that building is no longer a single family house. Mr. Barritt asked about a “bed and breakfast” which might be rented one day a month. Deputy Chief Francis said the state is wrestling with that issue now as renting a room makes the home a commercial use. Parades and Public Events: Mr. Bolduc said no changes were made to this ordinance. No issues were raised. Private Use of Streets, etc: Mr. Bolduc suggested that at some point a larger fee schedule be worked out. No issues were raised. Unmaintained Buildings: Mr. Bolduc noted that “unmaintained” has been amended to read “damaged.” No issues were raised. No public comment was received. Ms. Emery moved to close the public hearing. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt moved that in lieu of reading the ordinance in full, the Council read the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance by title only, as is provided by the City Charter. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt moved that the Council pass the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance without Amendment, effective upon this date. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0.

Mr. Dorn: Expressed appreciation for Council members attending this week’s Bike/Ped meeting. He also thanked Police Officer Favereau for organizing the upcoming forum on Heroin. The City Center Arts fundraiser will take place Friday evening. An e-mail was received today announcing the award of $6,500,000 equity for the Cathedral Square City Center project. An e-mail was received from Vermont Secretary of State Condos regarding travel to North Carolina. Mr. Dorn noted there has been no such travel since he has been City Manager. 7. Consent Agenda: a. Sign Disbursement b. Approve Minutes for 6 February and 3 April 2017 Ms. Emery questioned the recent vote on the 6 February minutes. Mr. Bolduc noted the 2-1 vote did not constitute a majority of the Council voting to approve or not approve. Action should be taken again. Mr. Chittenden noted those minutes were approved by the Council. He asked if they can be re- amended after approval. Mr. Bolduc said he is not prepared to answer that as he has never seen that happen. Ms. Emery said she wanted to introduce a correction, and what is warned tonight does not include that correction. Ms. Emery moved to approve the Consent Agenda with the exception of the 6 February minutes which will be addressed at the 1 May 2017 meeting. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 8. Update on Public Safety Communications Project: Chief Brent said the project went to bid and Radio North was selected. They have done a fine job in the past. The Chief said he would serve as project manager. The new system is designed to work 99.99999% of the time. He noted that the current system has operated perfectly for 7,580,300 minutes. This system has been recreated with all new equipment. The Chief showed a photo of the transmitter site with the new tower and associated equipment building. There are 6 receiving sites throughout the city, and the closest one would pick up a signal. The sites are: Police Station, water tank, Fire Station 1 and 2, University Mall, and the Department of Public Works. All receiving stations have back-up power that would last several days. The old equipment shed will be demolished and old equipment will be taken down when the new equipment is operative. All radios had to be relicensed. Information was sent to Canada and there have been several objections which are being addressed. Mr. Chittenden asked why the Airport isn’t one of the sites. Chief Brent said this was turned down by the state. There is, however, a bi‐directional amplifier on the airport garage now. Chief Brent showed the old and new radios. The new ones can be seen in the dark and are waterproof. They also cannot spark if there is a gas leak. The radios have the same temperature rating as turnout gear. The Chief stressed that the portable radios are their lifeline. The new radios have an emergency button and are on GPS. The expectation is that the new system will go live in mid-May. Mr. Barritt asked if they will gain more “bands” for communication. Chief Brent said the Police have digital incryptic; Public Works and Fire do not. The Chief also noted that if the area goes to a join dispatch system, other communities will have to catch up with South Burlington. 9. City Center Update: a. Public Art Selection Committee Recommendation: Ms. Blanchard noted that culvert work on Market Street will be done this year; the whole street will be done in 2018. Dumont Park construction will take place in late summer of this year. Events this week include: I-89/Exit 14 workshop (18 April, 7 p.m.) at Holiday Inn (this has been warned so City Council members can attend); South Burlington City Center Collaborative business mixer at Doubletree (19 April); City Center for the Arts fund-raising event (21 April) with entertainment and raffle prizes ($75 for tickets). Ms. Stratmann, Chair of the Public Arts Selection Committee, introduced other committee members and noted they have been meeting since May to determine where to locate art and to get the word out to artists to submit ideas. The selected location is on Market Street where the bridge is. Ms. Stratmann showed a photo of the area. The Committee received 7 submissions and selected 3 finalists to present to the public. About 100 public comments were received. The Committee chose Tyler Vendituoli’s submission of 5 geese (Ms. Stratmann showed photos) which will be made of bronze and mounted on pedestals. 75 positive comments were received for this project. The artist’s previous work includes projects for the Airport and Echo Center. Ms. Riehle noted this is just the first art project for City Center. Mr. Barritt moved to approve the Resolution authorizing Art for Market Street. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. 10. Presentation by Snyder-Braverman – overview of City Center Project: This item was continued to a future agenda. 11. Council Committee Assignment Reports: Mr. Chittenden noted that CCTA will be meeting tomorrow. Ms. Emery noted that CCRPC will meet on the 19th. 12. General Discussion on Council Priorities: Since a number of members didn’t send in their priorities, Mr. Dorn suggested just a general discussion. At the 1 May meeting, staff will have put together their work plan and the Council can look at integrating all concerns. Members then enumerated their suggestions and priorities as follows: Mr. Chittenden: a. A Community Economic Development Committee b. Consolidated collection of municipal trash c. Front Porch Forum posting policy (Ms. Riehle suggested a general “communication” priority) d. Exploring a BTV-Airport Authority (it was noted that the Governor is interested in this as well) e. South Burlington Neighborhood Planning Associations (Ms. Emery noted this is already in the City Charter) f. Indoor Public Pool Feasibility Study Ms. Emery: a. Airport follow-up with FAA b. City Center outreach with Chamber of Commerce c. Library and Performing Arts Center outreach d. A new hire in Public Works for bike/ped and more e. HRIP expansion f. Heroin addiction crisis g. Role for City Council in community issues h. More visibility for public transportation i. More electric infrastructure at Veterans Park j. More meetings in elementary schools Mr. Barritt: a. Efficiency project for city departments; award employees b. Action on poorly maintained properties (abandoned properties) c. Regulation of rental properties (rental registry) d. Building code enforcement e. Updates regarding Police training Ms. Riehle: a. Airport issues b. Affordable/workforce housing dedication c. Support/improve committee structures (including having high school students take active roles in committees) d. Library fundraising e. Communication Members also suggested a possible event for all committee members. Mr. Dorn asked members to send any other ideas to him. 13. March Financials: Mr. Hubbard reported that with ¾ of the year gone, revenues are at 90% of projections and expenses at 66%. Managers are now in the “forecasting mode” for the rest of the year. Mr. Barritt asked about increased access to vital records mentioned in the City Clerk’s narrative and the issue of identity theft. Mr. Hubbard said Ms. Kinville can provide information on how these records are being used. Mr. Dorn noted these are all considered “public record.” Mr. Hubbard said the city will receive a February-May local option tax payment and a small portion from May to the end of the fiscal year (which may not be received until later in the year and will be credited back). Mr. Barritt asked about Amazon charging sales tax on things that would have been taxed if bought in Vermont. Mr. Dorn said it is hard to determine what would have been bought in South Burlington. 14. Liquor Control Board: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council convene as Liquor Control Board. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. a. Consider the following applications: Chicken Charlie’s (1st class), Lakeview Bar & Grill (1st class), Short Stop #104 (2nd class), Koto (1st class), Applebee’s (1st. class), Doubletree Hotel (1st class), Holiday Inn (1st class), Jiffy Mart (2nd class), Sugarsnap (1st class), Pulcinella’s (1st class), Van Phan Billiards (1st class), Guild Tavern (1st class), Jiffy Mart (2nd class), Hannaford’s (2nd class), Quarry Hill Club (1st class), The Rotisserie (1st class), Shaw’s Beer & wine (2nd class), Shelburne Road Variety (2nd class), Short Stop #105 (2nd class), Simon’s Store 7 Deli (2nd class), Starving Artist Café (1st class), Silver Palace (1st class), Sugarhouse Bar & Grill (1st class), Trader Joe’s #527 (2nd class), Waterfront Catering Group (1st class), Zen Garden (1st class), Gracey’s (2nd class), Halyard Brewing (1st class), Healthy Living (1st class & 2nd class), Higher Ground (1st class), Jolley Assoc. #146 (2nd class), Klinger’s Bread (2nd class), Moe’s Southwest Grill (1st class), Osaka Hana (1st class), Pauline’s Café (1st class) Mr. Hubbard noted that all establishments have all needed approvals. Mr. Barritt moved to approve the first and second class applications as presented. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Ms. Emery moved to reconvene as City Council. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 15. Other Business: a. Ms. Riehle addressed an e-mail concerning a Kirby Road resident who wants to be bought out. This was not one of the original 39. She noted that at the “sound meeting” they were told if you were part of the last offer and didn’t take the airport up on it, you could still be eligible to be bought out. This could mean up to 44 houses. Mr. Dorn said he thinks what is happening with the Kirby Road home is that the current 73 dbl line touches that property and the owner would like to be bought out. The Airport told the owner that the City Council doesn’t want any more homes to be purchased, and the Airport will thus not purchase any more. The homeowner now wants the City Council to tell the Airport it is OK to buy that home. The owner says that the marketability of the home is “in limbo.” Ms. Riehle asked if there should be a Memorandum of Understanding that no more than the 39 plus 5 homes should be bought. Mr. Dorn thought an MOU was a good idea. Members asked Mr. Dorn to put together that MOU. Mr. Chittenden said he would like to know if a ground wall would have a definite affect on noise. Ms. Emery believed it would have a tangible benefit. Mr. Dorn said a berm could compensate for the loss of homes that block some of the noise for other homes. He noted that George Maille feels a berm- like structure would be effective. Mr. Dorn noted the DRB is re-opening an Airport plan because of the possibility of debris/snow being blown onto city property and a public road. He felt that in that area a blast wall would be effective. a. Regarding an e-mail concerning rec path maintenance, Ms. Riehle noted that in the past Mr. Rabidoux explained why trucks come onto the paths to pick up trash, etc. Mr. Dorn said this is the first time in 4 years he’s had a complaint about this. He added that Public Works uses all caution, and he is not aware of any accidents because of this. Ms. Riehle said she would explain the state law to the citizen. b. Mr. Dorn noted that May 6th is Green Up Day. He thought the city might re-dedicate the City Hall building on that day and offer tours, etc. Members responded favorably to that idea. 14. Executive Session: Mr. Barritt moved that the Council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of a discussion of pending real estate matters to which the public body is a party would clearly place the public body at a substantial disadvantage. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Mr. Barritt moved the Council enter into executive session for the purpose of discussion the pending real estate matter to which the public body is a party and to include the City Manager and Deputy City Manager in the session. Mr. Chittenden seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The Council entered executive session at 10:00 p.m. and resumed regular session at 10:15 p.m. As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Barritt moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed 4-0. The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works. MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council FROM: Andrew Bolduc, Esq., City Attorney, Jim Barlow, Esq. DATE: 4/17/17 RE: Second Reading of Proposed Amendments to the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance Background The Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance establishes fire safety regulations and protocols for the inspection of public buildings in South Burlington. It provides for City enforcement of the Vermont Fire and Building Safety Code by the South Burlington Fire Marshal. The Ordinance also sets forth requirements for the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and provides regulations for special events and festivals. The City Council adopted the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance on March 18, 2013. The current Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance is available on the City’s website. Proposed Amendments Several changes to the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance are proposed. Most of these amendments are technical in nature and intended to accomplish the following: • Standardize the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance’s organization, formatting, and font. • Add a severability clause. • Authorize dismissal of a municipal complaint (i.e. ticket) upon the successful completion of a restorative justice program through the South Burlington Restorative Justice Center. • Delete terms not used in the Ordinance or otherwise not requiring definition. Provisions of the City’s current Ordinance to Establish and Maintain Fire Lanes are proposed for incorporation into the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance at Section 32. Provisions of the City’s current Outside Burning Ordinance, with some clarifying changes, have been proposed for incorporation into the Fire Prevention and Safety Ordinance at Section 33. The current Ordinance to Establish and Maintain Fire Lanes and the current Outside Burning Ordinance City are proposed for repeal at Section 41. The following additional City ordinances are also proposed for repeal in Section 41: • Ordinance to Provide for the Inspection of Electrical Installations, adopted January 4, 1971. • Ordinance for the Control and Prevention of Fire, adopted December 21, 1970, amended November 6, 1972, and November 18, 1974. • Ordinance Relating to the Use of Fire Alarm Systems, adopted January 5, 1987. Each of these ordinances has been superseded by the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance or the current Electrical Safety Ordinance. The City Council’s amendment regarding smoke detectors, as expressed at the First Reading held on March 20, 2017, has been added to Section 15(F). Proposed deletions are indicated with strikethrough. Additions are indicated with underline. Some non-substantive changes to the organization, grammar, spelling, capitalization, and section titles are not specifically indicated. A copy of the Ordinance with the proposed amendments is attached. Recommendation After conducting a public hearing, the City Council is requested to pass the proposed amendments to the Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Ordinance. Clean copies of the Ordinance will be available for Council members’ signatures at the meeting.
